Hey guys. Looking at buying an effects system for my guitar / amp. I just want something to color my tone, not for distortion. But, I might use from time to time to go to a PA. I can get both of these used for about the same price. Digitech RP1000 or a Nova TC system? Anyone have both...

Hey guys. I have a Charvel from Japan. About a 90, or 91 DDR I think it's called. It has a Schaller From Germany trem, which I like, but I love my Edge trem I have on my S series from Japan Ibanez. The Ibanez guitar is ok, but I really like the rest of the Charvel guitar better than the...

Hey folks. I hope it's ok to post this here! I'm wondering if anyone else out there listens to this band besides me? I've not heard a lot about them in the US. Too bad, I think they sound like a Brazilian version of Rush or something. T https://youtu.be/uROcDAawjCQ

Hey Folks. I recently tried a cheap pickup and I am really surprised at how good this thing sounds for the money. Maybe I'm easy to please, but I"ve had a lot of pickups, and that includes Duncans and EMG's and Dimarzio's etc, etc,. I've also had some really bad cheap pickups that I wasted...

:confused: :confused: Hey folks. I'm trying to find the best active pickup to put in a guitar I'm going to build. I like high out put pickups, and so far I've only tried the EMG's 85, 81, and 60, and the Seymour Duncan Blackout. The AH2 I think it is, with the extra component to add more...

Hey guys and gals. I'm getting ready to put in my Blackout H and buy a Blackout S from Duncan for my charvel. I can't find the original 5 way switch, but I don't really want to use it anyway, as it was wired for the original charvel / jackson pickups in some weird way, and I want to be able to...

Hi guys. Anyone think these amps are ok? The Randall is on Reverb.com and it's a 1 x 12 combo with a plexi module. 50 watts, all tube.. I'm a huge lover of plexi tones and recently I was thinking of getting a ( still might to record with) Tech 21 effects (the plexi ) small effects.. But...

Hey guys.. I found this Bogner Alchemist online for 399.00 .. It's the head version, but I can't tell how many watts. It's here: http://www.musicgoround.com/p/246460/us ... emist-head Can anyone tell me how good these heads are? Will they do clean ? Will they do Metal as in 80's metal or...

Hey Guys.... I'm probably going to stick with my original plan of a good gigging amp / head in solid state, but I've always been a tube guy and some have about convinced me to look again, so here I am.. I'm looking on Sweetwater and I see these Egnator heads.. I'm wondering how good they might...

:confused: Hey Guys.. I've been playing guitar for many years, but mostly by myself, but in a band or two back in the 80's and early 90's then quit and doing it again for fun now. I used to always play tube amps, but could never get the gain out of them, or at least the one's I always had...

Hey folks :confused: I'm for some reason wanting a 7 string to play that low b from time to time, although I'm an old guy (53).. I play mostly 80's music, but love Steve Vai, etc, and think for some of the stuff I'm doing on my originals I'd like to have that option to record with. Anyway...

Hi. Hey, I love the o rings or those screws guys put in there guitars but where does one get the straps that work with the same? I'm wondering how they go about this? I know they take out the strap buttons and replace it with one of the metal screw in things, but where do you get a strap that...

Hey Guys.. I love my Charvel big time and I'm considering putting a new trem on it. It has a good Schaller but it's getting old and the fine tuners are hard to turn, etc,. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the Gotoh would drop right in? I don't want a bunch of work. I mean, I want to use the...

Hi.. Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has used this companies products and if so, what do you think? http://earcandy.com/ I'm thinking they are priced very reasonable and it sounds like their products are designed well from the descriptions they give and they are priced very nice I thought. Anyone?

Hey Music Guru's.. I'm just now learning theory after playing the guitar mostly rock and blues for many years just doing bluesy stuff and playing the pentatonic scale of course. So, I understand a little bit of theory as in the Major and Minor Chords, Augmented, Dimished, etc, and the scales...
