    PodXT

    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!

    PodXT

    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 ***...

    Help Me Find A New Amp

    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??

    Bought my new amp!

    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...

    Who/What inspired you?

    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...

    I feel old =(

    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 feel old =(

    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...

    Hello Jamsters!

    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...

    Hello Jamsters!

    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..... 2 older MIJ Fernandes 60's style Strats Godin ST...

    alnico V vs. Alnico II

    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...

    alnico V vs. Alnico II

    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...

    alnico V vs. Alnico II

    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?
