@Moongrum I can't quote you for some reason but I really dig that track.

Thanks! I was doing my best to rip off Duster

I like the Thrash Factor set so much in my Kramer Vanguard RIP I think I’m going to buy a set to put into one of my other guitars.

The Fishman Fluence set I bought for my Ibanez Q54 doesn’t really fit so maybe I’ll just replace with these? I really dislike the factory pickups for anything except cleans.

I ordered a new Mxr 10 band eq. I have one of the older black ones and it seems to make a bunch of noise when it's in front of an amp. I hope this new one isn't the same way.

Wife greenlit a new budget pedal board. Gonna grab a joyo argos, an SD-1, maybe a third drive, and a noise gate. Figuring out what gate to grab is pissing me off because my favorite is discontinued (donner Soph gate).

Doesn’t Joyo make a Precision Drive clone? That could be both the third drive and gate.

The Argos is the precision drive clone. I’ve just heard not awesome things about the on board gate.

Mr Scary mod arrived and it works really really well with my multi watt triple rectifier. Ups the usable amount of gain without getting fizzy/flubby and the deep switch on with bass lowered sounds better than stock.

If you want a really good gate, the revv G8 is pretty awesome.

Recently, I bought a purple Ltd M-1 Custom 87 Series that I like, so I also bought a gold version as well. One will be in E, the other in Eb. May pick up a blue one for D standard as I don't have a guitar in D standard.

Also, I bought 2 big blocks, some springs, EVH D-Tunas, and Tremol-Nos from FU Tone, as well as a Skyscraper Pick Pocket intonation tool and some nut shims from Amazon.

Lastly, finally got a cab for my G12H-30 Heritage 75hz speakers.

That'll probably be it for a bit.

Isn't that just the PD in general? I heard the gate on the real thing is just okay.

Yeah it's fine for most purposes but isn't great for high gain stuff. Which seems odd. It's a single knob anyway so it was never going to be as good a dedicated pedal.

Yup, I heard the same. IIRC Taylor Danley’s video went over it with the Argos, too.

Got a pretty good deal on a 30th anniversary Metal Zone from a local guy today:

I can't decide if I prefer the silver lettering over the normal orange, but I'm stoked to try it out as a boost like old school Crowbar/Cannibal Corpse

My Empress ParaEQ II Deluxe isn't working out like I had hoped it would.

It's both overkill and not quite right all at once. Fantastic pedal, and I recommend it about as highly as I can for anyone who wants an EQ, but since I'm just looking to mildly adjust the tone of the guitar going in to my Axe Fx or computer to have more control over the DI tone, it's a bit wasted. On top of that, I'm still having to do more than I anticipated with the EQs in the Axe or Fab Filter before the amps, so I think I'd rather get something like the EMG BTC on each of my guitars and have a tailored and easily tweakable solution for each instrument. Getting the ParaEQ to cooperate and do what I want has been much less intuitive than using the on board EQs of my devices, which has been a big surprise.

Again, the ParaEQ is a fantastic EQ, I just think I have a preferred solution by other means. Might try a Peper's Dirty Tree, but I do really like the idea of having something specif for each guitar.

So the pickups I bought are coming from MN to me in VA. They shipped to WI via USPS but then it got shipped back to MN? 5 days later… WTF?

USPS has been screwed up pretty bad any time I use them for the past 6 months. Thought it may be a local issue but maybe not. I was told our local hub has been dealing with significant delays and will continue to for the indefinite future due to understaffing.

Been feeling a Bad Cat amp! Looking at Lynx models, but also one of the Cubs would be really fun.
