    Who needs drugs when there's sugar and caffeine!!!

    I've been doing ketovore for the last 2 and a half months and since today was my cousin's celebration of life get together at his house with family, friends, and neighbors, I figured I'd carb load today for the first time since mid April. I cheated a little on lunch there because everyone had...

    What technique is the bane of your existence?

    Listen, not everyone can be Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, or Joe Satriani; everyone here is going to have trouble with one, or a handful of techniques or skills on guitar. If someone had your family held hostage and threatened their life unless you could successfully play "x" technique, what...

    Seeking Need a handful of XLR and XLR/trs cables

    Since I want to build my own cables, but also have to wait a few weeks to start that, I could use a handful of cables to route my Helix rig together. If you have some functional, but older cables maybe you replaced, and have what I'm looking for let me know. I need 2 standard mic xlr-xlr...

    A question for the computer nerds

    I put the guts of my CyberPower PC in this rack server case I got today to install it in my rack. It's used, so it's obviously missing a piece or two. The case has a spot for 2 smaller exhaust fans just above/next to the motherboard i/o panel. It has 4 threaded holes each that use the same...

    NRSD

    That stands for new rack server day. I am typing this now, from my old computer I've been using forever, but now its guts are in a cool 4u rack case so I can mount everything in my rack and continue to not know how to record more than 1 simple riff at a time in CakeWalk. But but but...it's...

    What's your favorite method for sanding down the back of a finished neck?

    I'm sitting here trying to do this fancy trickery of holding the guitar up and leaning back to play the Alone solo by Heart and dammit if this factory finish on the back isn't making my hand stick a little here and there and slowing me down and making it harder to land where I need to. What's...

    Alright, whomever can guess what the acronym stands for, I'll do a guest lead on your next upcoming album lol I still have some of the order on the way, but here's what showed up today. I also got a rackmount kit for my Scarlett 2i2 so that everything will be nice and tucked away inside the...

    For Sale Amps for sale in Middle TN

    I figured I'd list these up as I'll never get to use them at any sort of decent volume and no stage anywhere around here would let me in the door with one of these lol I'm in Crossville, TN and looking for local pickup at the time. I may consider shipping down the road, but there are too many...

    Anyone using an older rack PC for basic use for music?

    I fancy getting an older rackmount PC to run Windows 11 on play with basic music stuff, not because I need it, but because it'd be cool as shit to have a PC in my rack lol I have this big ass rack I'm putting my Helix Rack into and I can easily fit in an older PC to just play my Guitar Pro...

    Eww, don't listen to your practice amp at ear level

    I've had this Katana 50 for a couple years now and LOVE this hotrodded Marshall patch that I copied from a Studio Rats YouTube video, but it was always sitting on the floor. Now that I moved my rack in here awaiting my Helix and rackmount for my interface, I just set the amp up on top of the...

    I think I'm gonna try my hand at building my cables

    So since I love soldering, and spent all this money on soldering stuff when I was rebuilding/refurbing old Ataris and other consoles, I'll give it a shot. I think I might like to try that BTPA 0446 cable that looks fairly priced and some Neutrik gold plated connectors to make some guitar...

    Hey VonBonfire, since you like lattices so much

    This Neutrik connector should go on all your cables. I mean, c'mon, it has crystal in the name. SURELY that's referring to the lattices that are so important in great tone. Just make sure your signal originates from some DiMarzios...

    Stereo from the Helix to my interface?

    Dumb question, but I have a Scarlett 2i2 interface. If I want to jam at home from a Helix and get stereo effects of delays bouncing back and forth between my monitors, do I need to use both inputs on the Scarlett or will running it into 1 input with just some stereo effects on it produce the...

    Which cable do you trust to run your rigs?

    I have a bunch of old Monster Cables I bought when I worked at GC years ago. As far as I know, they all still work. They're mostly the cheaper ones with the plastic ends that you can slide the colored insert into so you can tell which cable goes where when you're building your rack. There's a...

    NPD....I NEVER buy pedals, so you know it's gotta be a good one

    There's a dude back home in Chattanooga that came up with this a few years ago. I tried meeting up with him twice to buy one and both times it never worked. But, I contacted him again and he shipped it to me. This should be fun on a tube amp.

    How will a modeler sound on my tube power amp on low volume?

    From my understanding, most people say the better tube tone comes from the power section working harder than the preamp section, however, the preamp is going to be a computer basically. I've been burning the midnight oil on how to get the sound out of this amp, the Helix (probably the rack)...

    Does GC combine finance periods?

    I've been trying to get through to them all day on GC Support online chat with absolutely zero luck, and I hate talking on the phone, so maybe someone here knows. Do they combine financing periods? They have 48 months s.a.c. on the Line 6 Helix rack, but only 6 on the controller. Does anyone...

    Is there a 1 stop shop fx processor for me?

    Let's say I wanna use either like my Budda Superdrive or Landry Lexi to play in my 80s-00s hits cover band, but I don't wanna buy multiple stomp boxes and be playing footsie all night with them. Is there a good 1 stop shop processor I can buy that I can run through my fx loop and just build...

    Do you find guitar surgery therapeutic?

    Who actually enjoys tearing their guitars apart to solder in new pickups, or put a big brass block upgrade on your Floyd, or enjoy spending the time setting a new guitar up to have the proper string/spring tension balance on a floating bridge, doing fretwork, etc? I had to do some surgery on...

    What's worse when playing live?

    Well, time to be honest with ourselves. This is the hardest hitting question of the last 6 months.
