The clean thing is tough if you aren't going to color it with chorus and delay and such. Have you messed with the compressors yet? They can really give you a nice boost in the bottom and mids when you add one to a clean sound. Try it out. Blue comp, Red comp ect... Good luck brotha!
I have a PODXT and a PODXT LIVE and I love them. I am a down to earth pedal on the floor kind of guy and have a full pedal rig as well. The hardest thing for me was going into edit screens to tweak the sounds. I f you are lazy like me then the POD products may not be for you. I got off my ***...
Lots of you guys have the Vox Ad50vt amps out there. Why is noone recomending them?? I have been thinking about buying one of those myself when I saw so many guys playing them on this site. Do they have a lame clean tone or something??
Hey and congrats!! I think your 4x8 cab will sound really cool. Cabs can be funny though. I wouldn't expect quite the richness as the 15. I think you'll lose a bit of bottom end. The cool thing is that you should gain a tighter focus and a punchier midrange response. I think it will add some...
Hey guys,
I would have to say early on that the guys who got me playing were Alex Lifeson and Neal Schon. That grew into a love for David Gilmour, Santana, and Jerry Garcia. I have had a thing for George Lynch's playing for a long time as well even though I was never really a metal guy. He just...
Not to change the subject...but I just got another axe and it rocks!! It's an Ibanez BL850 Balzer reissue from 1997. I scored it mint for 200 bucks and I couldn't be happier. The neck is super fast and the humbuckers do Jazz to metal. If you find one...buy it. I may start a small collection of...
I am the worst old guy here because I saw them in concert!! Red leather pants were cool at the time and bandanas with Japanese flags on them. I hope I wasn't the only guy who wore parachute pants that had zippers all over!! Remember buying clothes from a store called Chess King?? The place...
Thanks for all the warm welcomes folks!! Just think...in a few more years we will all be able to jam out together on a forum such as this!! Won't that be cool? To TOT: My Godin has the rail pups in it and they sound amazing!! This guitar is as nice as an Anderson or a PRS. They no longer make...
Hi there. I'm Steve and I've been playing guitar for 27 years. Like you all, I suffer from gear lust on a daily basis. I play out 3-4 times a month to legitimize my rock star status. (at least in my own head) Gear I am using currently is.....

Thanks for the help guys. I have some Dimarzio Virtual Vintages in another guitar with a Fralin blend knob. I dig them a bunch and use them for gigging to avoid buzzing. They also match well with my Line 6 stuff. I think humbuckers sound WAY better in modeling situations than traditional single...
Thanks man!! I am familiar with the duncan website and they have lame clips. Same riff different pickup and they all sound the same. I would expect much more from a company like this. I don't like pickup samples over a band (dimarzio) and I don't like the same lick for every pickup either. I had...
Who can tell me the difference tonally between the V and the II magnets? I am talking about single coil pickups. I am on the fence about my next purchase and love my Chubtones with V's. I may put some pups with II's in my other strat but am clueless. Any help out there?
