I have an Ibanez Iron Label S shape with stock Dimarzio passive humbuckers in an HSH configuration. I'm playing into a PRS MT15 with custom cabs and an array of pedals. In...

    Rode NT1a vs. AKG P420: Versatile Condenser

    Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up my first condenser mic for a home studio, and I'm looking for something very versatile on a budget. I'm looking to use the condenser mainly for podcasting, guitar cabs, and room mics. It will also be used sparingly for vocals on songs. I've boiled it down to...

    Liquifire 7 AND D-Activator(n) - Unique Tonal Options?

    I have a basswood Ibanez RG7 (RG7320Z), with D-Activator 7 neck & Liquifire 7 (coming in the mail). The D-Act (neck) I plan to use in the bridge, but interestingly, both D-Act & LFire are "able" to be used in either bridge or neck position. What do people think of the options here? I "can" do...

    Interested in Jackson SLAT but not a fan of EMG's

    Im somewhat new to guitar but I know it's possible to buy pickups separate, but what pickups would you guys reccomend for a high gain metal sound, but is also versatile enough for glassy cleans? How do I go about installing non active pickups in a guitar that is set up for active pickups?

    Help me pick a guitar!

    Hello fellow shredders! I landed a job over the summer where I will be getting something around 3000$ each month, so that's a really nice thing for me so I can save some for my life in the university that I will begin in the fall this year. I will get as a total about 6000$ for two months of...

    Spider Valve as a modest catch-all?

    Hey all, I've been in the market for a proper guitar amp for a while now. Especially lately, where I've been asked to join a friend's death/deathcore-ish band as rhythm guitar, and guitar in a project which may be post-hardcore/noisier angry shit, or collapse into folk punk. So, the other day I...

    Need a great versatile seven string

    So I play a variety of rock, from blues rock to metal. I really want another seven string guitar, but I haven't found many sevens that have passive pickups. I've looked at agile guitars for quite a bit of time, and that looks like the best bet for me. Hear me out when I say I want a guitar that...

    Using a pedal for your tone

    I've been looking to upgrade my rig lately. I'm considering getting a low wattage amp (Egnater Tweaker?) and using it's cleans and distortion for rock/jazz/low to mid gain and getting a pedal for metal, but I'm not sure if a pedal will offer enough versatility. I've been looking at the Wampler...

    Call me a n00b, but I need some help. I'm planning a custom 7 string Explorer-style guitar right now (although it may be a while before I have the cash to get it built :( ), and need some help deciding what to put in it pickup-wise. Basically, here's my idea: -Mahogany body, (bolt on)...
