    Captor X vs. Torpedo LIVE

    I recently acquired a TwoNotes Torpedo Captor X. I can't compare both products because I haven't really played their Torpedo LIVE but I must say that I'm very satisfied with all the possibilities of the Captor X. And it's very fun to use. Now back to your issue... although we're wired to always...

    Iconic solo guitar lessons

    Started to post some lessons about iconic solos a while ago. Those lessons included: - full demonstration at speed - demonstration at half the speed - tab - backing track I'm currently working on my EP, but I'm thinking about doing some more in a while. Anybody would be interested in that? If...

    Cool sounding chords with distortion

    Try to drop tune your guitar: drop your lower string a whole step. You'll be able to get chords like min7 - min9 - min11 - 7 - Maj7 - Maj9 ... and many more. By drop-tuning, you may sustain the powerchord while adding some colors with upper notes.

    Bare Knuckle Cobra T: Anyone experienced?

    Dunno those pups. But all I can say is that from my experience with BKP, you don't need to overthink. Got the opportunity to buy a used set of Stockholm HSP90 that I installed into one of my guitars. I compared them to some Seymour Duncan P90 - same guitar model. Just different pups. The...

    What Is It Like Going To NAMM?

    Wow. 25 times is a lot, mate. It's like you've seen it all I guess. You're like a living history book of the NAMM. Haha But I feel you. I've never been there. But I'm naturally unattracted by such a concentration of people and marketed gear. I get the point, and to a certain extend, it's also...

    Buyers leaving feedback - Thing of the past?

    Naaaa... I always make a point a giving feedback. And a fluid and friendly communication when buying, selling. I guess you had bad luck with those 4. I'm sure they're good people out there. :)

    Traditionalism vs experimentation

    Hey guys, On the course of the last 10 years lots of new guitar brands appeared on the market, proposing new guitars made up of composite materials: Flaxwood (http://www.flaxwood.com) , Aristides (http://aristidesinstruments.com/), ... In opposition to that, we've seen more and more "relic"...

    New Tom Quayle Ibanez sig model

    Yeap, many players switched back to Ibanez over the last 2 years: Rick Graham, Martin Miller, Tom Quayle, Marty Friedman at some point... I guess Ibanez has the power to provide more advantages to popular players among the community than Suhr or other "boutique" brands like Fibenare. I just...

    Koch powertone ii or Diamond spitfire ii

    Have been playing Koch for 6 years. Had a Koch Powertone II, switched to a Diezel Einstein and sold it to go to Koch Powertone III. Koch amps are very reliable and great all-in-one amps. I rarely had a gig or studio job where I'd use the Koch and someone would come to me complimenting on my...

    ADK 51 microphone

    Thank you. I had to search for that spot since my Breedlove Stage C250 has a very rich, nice but overwhelming low end. It must have taken me 40-50min to find that spot. I can only dream of affording such microphones. Haha Too much other priorities for expenditures unfortunately. Like a good...

    ADK 51 microphone

    ADK are pretty solid microphones for the price. Can't tell you how much I'd like to try your Telefunken. Do you have audio examples of isolated acoustics?

    ADK 51 microphone

    Hey guys, Anyone familiar with ADK microphones? I'm currently recording my first studio EP. First time I got such an excellent acoustic guitar sound out of my Breedlove despite a very accessible piece of gear. What do you think? What do you use at home to record your acoustic guitars?

    Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90 video test

    Will do; but probably won't be til next year. Just got a set of lundgrens and a set of Schaller locking tuners for a soloist project I picked up. It would be replacing a JB and a '59 in my paul that sounds killer, but I really like the idea of high gain p-90's. Also subscribed. You're a slick...

    Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90 video test

    Yeah, I can't say anything bad about them so far. They've got the grit I was looking for, and their very high output level make them suitable for high gain tone. Maybe except that it took me a bit of tweeking (like for 2min) before getting the right sound that's all. But I used to have EMG's in...

    Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90 video test

    After playing humbuckers for like my whole music history I recently started to dig the sound of P90's. So I traded some EMG's in my trusty Flaxwood for a new set of Bare Knuckle Stockholm HSP90. I thought I'd share that video test with curious or potentially interested people. d9f2m4PVwAE

    How do you warm-up

    Haha cool to get some feedback, buddies. Well, it depends on your style, Rock god. Of course I don't believe all style require warm-up. But if you go for more technical stuff (not necessarily "big metal or shred cliché") like some jazz, country or fusion... you need to warm-up. It's safer...
