    Mesa Fillmore's

    I just found an Electra Dyne combo local here in Phoenix for $650 - I traded a Tech 21 Fly Rig and $450 for it. This is a great amplifier and takes pedals great. It does best when loud but still sounds good when at bedroom volumes. The only bad thing is that it is one heavy beast.

    Wireless WTF's ??

    I get it - just be careful of the belt pack antenna. On the used one I got for the piezo it had the antenna issue. It doesn't come off but it feels like it wants to. I prefer the new build personally.

    Wireless WTF's ??

    I have had both the GLXD 16 and the GLXD 16+ models - the + is worth it. It has an input in case your belt pack dies so you can still use the tuner vs. unplugging things and going to your first pedal after the wireless. I also like the antenna better on the +, as the round one on the standard...

    Les Paul

    I have a 2008 Standard gold top and the 2011 Custom Shop Lifeson Axcess. I am a PRS guy, but after playing the Lifeson with the Axcess heel I can see playing that much more. Looks are subjective to me - people have said it is a sin to have a Floyd on a Les Paul, but I really do like it.

    Post a pic of the last guitar you got in 2023

    Here is mine - 2011 Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Alex Lifeson model. An over the top Christmas gift from my wife. Yes, I still need to change the description on the frame for it.

    Shout Out to Voodoo Lab

    Compare that to Temple Audio - I have two of their boards along with some of the side modules. Great board, but with all of the extras it can add up. I ended up losing one of the super tiny screws for a blank plate on the side and reached out to them for a replacement - they offered to send...

    P.A. users, question about passive monitor use

    Yes - the EMX5 will do the same thing - In the description, it says The Yamaha EMX5 is packed with a high-efficiency, dual 630-watt, Class D amplifier You would take the A channel out from the amp/mixer to the Left main speaker, then chain a cable from that speaker to the Right main. Channel...

    P.A. users, question about passive monitor use

    The Samson you have needs either an external amplifier or powered speakers (monitors) to get sound from them. I used something like the one below before, and if you look at the description, it has dual amplifiers - one for mains, one for monitors...

    I Might Just Go Digital

    I use the Fractal FX8 for my Mesa Mark IV going 4CM and it is great. Be sure to look for the Mark II if you go that route, as that one has the relay switchers. I did have Redco build me a nice snake for it which is super convenient. I had them add in a couple of humbuster type cables which...

    Parker Fly or Mayones Regius for shredding?🎸

    I bought a Parker Fly Deluxe in 1995 - it is such a great guitar, and I have had zero issues with it at all. Granted I take care of my stuff, but it plays just as well as when I bought it new. The frets are stainless so there is zero fret wear.

    FM3 vs AX8

    I have had all three - loved the AX8, and really didn't go down the rabbit hole from tweaking parameters. I picked up the FM3 and even though it sounded great, I didn't like the three footswitch layout so I picked up the FC6 to go with it. When the FM9 was announced, I was lucky enough to get...

    Humidity and Electric guitars

    I have 17 guitars on the walls in the music room - both acoustic and electric, as it is so much easier to play all of them with them out and let's face it - it looks pretty cool. I live in Arizona, so I have a room humidifier going all year round, keeping the relative humidity at 45%. I have...

    new Journey....thoughts?

    I just saw them in Phoenix with Toto opening the show. Toto was amazing, Schon overplayed on every song. You can play, I get it, but it gets old having him prove it on every song. Band sounded tight, however after about 45 minutes I was done with it. Very manufactured and corporate feeling...

    So, what do you guys do for a living?

    I am an SVP for a large commercial bank. Just further proof that titles really don't mean anything.

    Ground Control Pro and G-Major 2 - Weird issue

    Let me do some digging - I haven't had the pedal for a while now. I want to say that it is in the programming of the GCP, and instead of #5, it has a symbol of some type. I will IM you when I find it

    Ground Control Pro and G-Major 2 - Weird issue

    Hey @Bash_Man - how are you? If I remember correct, the GCP has a kind of Easter egg that allows you to have 5 presets vs. 4 in the 4 presets/Bank with instant access (page 15 of the manual), which is how you have it set up. If you are on preset 2, and step on the 2 switch again, it goes to...

    Recommend me a floor multi effects system

    I had the TC Electronic G System, the red one. Great unit, ran it 4CM into a Mesa Mark IV. Quiet, transparent, and loved the switching for the amp channels, however to me the sounds of the G Major were just better. Fast forward, I picked up the Fractal FX8 Mark II (with the switching in it)...
