I had a few pedals around 2010 from digitech? Their software was so glitchy and then the pedals became outdated in 2 years as it had an older iphone type connection. But the sounds were great and the different pedals you could load in were all free. F this new line with its whack prices and...

OP must be going up for tenure and needs proper credit for thread creations

I definitely sold off some great heads- not all of them- and have synergy as my go to home studio rig. Too much stuff to bring out of the house though, I love my Kemper for that. I know some people do the opposite with synergy as their live rig. I have (2) syn2s wired into a Fortin 50w Cali, I...

All of his solos are sick! I need to practice more but I'm fighting father time lol

Ok, that knocks Randy out of this. Great player and composer, but his sound sucks whereas EVH has glorious tone. Also, Randy did not like Black Sabbath so he is dead to me.

This is my favorite Ozzy release (also likely because I'm burned out on all the earlier releases). It sounds like Zakk wrote a lot of the riffs and Gus's execution is so precise and his interpretation so inspiring. The Blackstar sound is surprisingly different and fierce, pairing so well with...

There were at least 1 or 2 more on reverb, they are all in the same price range

not sure on either- I think seller said he got it last year? I guess they still make them?

great info, thanks!

I misled by the title & came for the hoops

Is that an Ampeg VL? I loved those amps! I think this one has stock Duncans in it and I really like it- my other guitars are kind of hyped up with Fishman/BK/EMG so this gives me more of a vintage flavor while still being aggressive. I think the tuning has been solid on this one but I'm going...

Wow awesome!! Thanks!!!!

New to me Sykes arrived! I have a Gothic Les Paul, but always had an eye on getting a custom LP. Nowadays, those prices are so out of control that will likely never happen for me, so I found this and decided to give it a spin. I am totally honeymooning right now, it is awesome!

There are at least 3 spots to consider: 1st in chain think of it like Overdrive boost with drive on 0. Cut the low end, boost the mids. I don't think you really need an overdrive and an eq in this situation (unless you're a clean amp pedal distortion player). Also can think of this as a...
