Some pedals are just designed to be run into the FX loop rather than into a clean channel. Like, I'm sure there is some pedals that fall into a gray area (like the Metal Zone), but a pedal meant to run into an FX is normally way brighter (which I'm sure is oversimplifying what it's actually...

Anything by Polyphia, LOL.

I actually think the early 2000's cabs are the ones to go for second to the OG's from the 80's. That era of Celestion in general is warmer-sounding that what came in the 2010's across the board. I think part of what the ones from the 80's have going for them is that they're 8 ohms rather than...

Man, I've wanted to check out something Mark Tremonti since there's a lot of hype for his signature gear to play Metal. I really thought his music was going to be heavy but this isn't. :(

No, they're 620S. They're the closed backs in the 600 series family. They're new-ish, so that's why there's maybe no EQ right now.

Oh, I have the DT770's as well. Are yours 32 ohms? I like the sound of those as well, and I use them as well from time to time. I actually use them more at work to listen to music. They seem to have a cleaner bass than the Sennheisers, but the downside is the treble seens a bit too active with...

I absolutely love the sound of a cranked half-stack, but I'm sure I'm not the only one living in an apartment with neighbors that don't take to 100+ dB of Death Metal riffs too kindly. So what are you guys' setups for playing silently through headphones? I started my journey a couple of years...

And Nazgul too.

The TU3's buffer actually clips with any pickup mid output and up too. Man, what fucking poorly designed pedal, LOL.

The tone is cool! But man... this song... :rolleyes:

I used to really like them. Back around 2018, I think, they changed something in the preamp. I got a new EMG 57/66 around 2020 which was horrible. Thin and scratchy. I sold it, and I bought a used scratched up 57/66 from 2017 which sounded killer. The way they were supposed to, I guess. I hate...

I like Duncans overall better than DiMarzios, but both make pickups that I like. That being said, though, I feel DiMarzio has more variety when it comes to neck pickups. From the Duncan HB line, it seems like 80-90% of the neck pickup options are sorta 7.5K-ish Alnico and that's it. Very few...

It's not like I want to defend that that bitter old fart, but people expect him to move on, yet keep asking him questions about the Metallica thing.

I suppose you could get a similar punch if you ran 1M volume and tone pots for the same load as a single 500K pot. But I have no idea functionally if the taper would feel different or what.

I personally prefer not having a tone knob and if I need to tame a pickup a bit, I just run a single 250K volume or, if it's too much, a 1M resistor in parallel with a 500K volume. But I find myself more often running pickups on single 500K or occasionally 1M volumes. It's cool, but honestly...
