    Help a beginner out - my sound is not clear enough

    So I have recently bought the Neural DSP Archetype Plini, I'm running it through a 3rd gen Scarlett 2i2. I'm pretty new to anything that has to do with recording and even amp sims, so I've been slowly buying the necessary gear to setup a proper bedroom studio. It's worth mentioning that I'm...

    Squire vs Fender?

    Searched, didn't find anything related to this topic really. To preface, i've long been an Ibanez guy, and with their guitars the difference in quality between price tiers can be pretty major (at least to my hands). I have a prestige, an iron label, have owned premiums, etc. Lately i've been...

    I need suggestions for better pickups (active)?

    Hi, I own an Agile Interceptor 7 string with EMG 707s that I got last November. The guitar plays great, and acoustically, it sounds amazing and loud compared to my other electric guitars. However, when I record with it, it sounds so dark and muffled, as if it's being recorded from behind a...

    Would you trust this seller?

    I'm thinking of getting a guitar with 7 strings, 27 frets, and a floyd. I found this inexpensive one at DHGate. I know it's probably really low-quality. I'm thinking that after I buy it, I'm going to make a lot of changes (replace the pickups, scallop the fingerboard, give it a setup, etc.)...
