Besides cosmetics, not too much of a difference between either model, I thought. Are you unloading because of the 7.25 radius?
Moreso the deep C neck, and its a harder to find colour for the series (close to primer grey). The 7.25” is doable with a good setup. Im not a shred guy (Jazadam shudders).

Such a comfy neck. I've been thinking of picking up an Am pro ii for the same reason. I like my kiesels, but for the way I play, all I feel is the shoulder of the neck because they're a weird thin D, I'm trying to convince myself I'm happy, though 😅

Moving my music room into a larger room in the next week or two and I've been getting back into recording again. Recently bought a new desk that's much more usable for all my gear (and it's a standing desk, which is fun!). Saw this went on sale for a silly price and, since it's cheaper than what a used one sells for, I jumped on it:


I miss having some hardware comps and EQs I can use on the way in. Mixing completely in the box is super flexible, but using hardware always forced me to get it right the first time and my mixes would always be way easier after the fact. I don't really have time to waste hours on mixing, so just doing it right from the start would be really helpful.

I'm really tempted to just buy their EQP-KT and 2A-KT as well, then I could track vocals and the only plugin I'd really need is reverb/delay and maybe a bit of saturation depending on style. I could get my 14U Argosy rack out of the garage and have a pretty solid setup again. Think I might upgrade my Axe I/O to a Presonus Quantum HD2, as well. The extra gain will be much appreciated and I can probably sell my Cloudlifter.

Planning what the next few months are going to look like in terms of session work (possibly more live shows). And it seems that for digital and mobility's sake, all signs are pointing towards a Fractal FM3. Let's see what happens in the meantime.

Says the guy with multiple stacks and a large pedalboard...

FWIW, I'm not new to a digital rig. A good chunk of my recent recordings have been my Kemper. I just like the idea of a powerful all purpose unit that I can fit in a backpack.

Im just sassin’ - you have far more experience than me with effects, tones, the whole deal. Im just team fractal in the modeller space.

Waiting for the affordable hiwatt dr103…

Not gonna make a thread.......but does anyone know who or if one of these things is made that has a bluetooth output?
Goal is to pull a guitar out and sit on the couch to while jamming silently without corded headset/earbuds. I want to use my Shokz open ear deals.

Perhaps you can find something that plugs into the headphone jack that will receive Bluetooth signal?

Usually the audio latency is too much to use any sort of Bluetooth for guitar playing.

A thread on The Gear Page turned me off of the One Control OC-10 switcher, so I will likely get one of the MusicomLAB switchers or an RJM PBC-10 to go with the Boss GT-1000 Core, two Mission Engineering EP-1 expression pedals, and some cables (TRS, standard cables, and some midi cables).

Have you considered Morningstar?

I've seen this guitar pop up a few times and the control layout never matches the pics. There is definitely a second selector on the photos but it's not listed in the specs. Anyone know what it is?
I have one of these guitars. One switch is the usual pick up switch and other switch is to switch between voice 1 and voice 2 of the Fishman. Voice 1 is your active pick-up sound. Voice 2 is more passive.

I saw the new CAD E100SX is down to a silly price yesterday and was going to pick one up as I used to have three of the original E100 mics and loved them. Remembering that I sold the last one years ago, but the guy ended up sending it back, I decided to take it apart and see if I could fix it. It was at this point that I remembered these mics had a pair of 9v batteries in them to boost the signal and reduce the signal to noise ratio and... Sure enough, it didn't have any in it. Bought some rechargable batteries on Amazon and installed them this morning and it works perfectly fine now. Saved myself from having to spend more money and the mic is now worth 3x what I had sold it for before :lol:

Should I sell my Rockerverb and grab a TH100 instead?

They sound super similar in demos and I really just like the vibe of having a single shape knob on the dirt channel. I also ready that the TH100 is both the highest gain and cleanest clean of the entire orange line up. Curiosity is killing me.

I much, much preferred the Rockerverb sound, but I guess it depends on what you're playing.
