    Modelers suck

    I was going to say it wouldn't matter if or what you posted anyway, he'd still find fault with it because, god forbid, you use different gear choices than the chosen one...how dare you. Sounds great btw - and reaffirms my earlier point if you can dial up tones and play, you can.....

    Famous musicians you've met

    Billy Sheehan, Satch, Reb Beach, Vinnie Moore, Doug Aldrich, Gary Hoey, Vivian Cambell, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman The only cool story is a Reb Beach story and the reason I like to share it is because I've read more than once where others found him to be a prick and that was not my experience...

    Modelers suck

    I missed your post before I tossed up the long winded shit above lol!! But hell yeah, that's what I'm sayin'...for many of us, we just want the tone, damned how we get it. At one point in time way back, I went through the d-tone phase and bought several pedals searching for it, didn't give a...

    Modelers suck

    All I care about is TONE. I can get nice tone out of my tube amps. I can get it out of my Axe III. Everything else in the discussion (for me anyway) is far less important (value, stage presentation, tradition, tinkering time needed to get tones, trends, feel, does it shake the wall pictures...

    Modelers suck

    Bingo. I own a Soldano SLO. I also own a Bogner XTC 101b. Both iconic. Both are the greatest amps I've personally ever owned. Both have their own distinct vibe. Both sound amazing in recorded tracks. Sometimes a tune calls for the Bogner. Others, the SLO....and get this, both can even sound...

    Modelers suck

    Agree with much of this as well, said something similar a few pages back ("look, if you can dial in tone and play, you can dial in tone and play, provided the gear is solid"...and if you can't, you can't, its not rocket science). There are bazillions of clips out there of music recorded with a...

    Post a pic of the last guitar you got in 2023

    I've been in a really good zone these last few years, very little gear purchasing, lots of music making with the current stash, just content I guess. I did grab this Charvel (MiJ) at the start of '23. I love the look (kinda has a Beach meets Govan vibe) and she's a tone machine.

    Modelers suck

    You smack of someone that's personally butt hurt because dudes using gear other than what you're using have put up better sounding clips than anything you've done. I could be wrong - but that's how you're coming off here.

    Modelers suck

    This. I'll always maintain, if you can dial in great tones and play, you can dial in great tones and play...as long as the gear is up to the task and not pure rubbish that is, and frankly, today's high end modelers and profilers are pretty legit. I use both, tube amps and my Fractal and I'm...

    Most Ugly Rockers.........post up UR PICS..........Ready Set Gooooooooooooooooooo

    Funny to use the Stones as the opener - my mom grew up with their music and said although she liked it, she and her friends always called them "the Rolling Ugly's" LOL.

    Enjoying the Fractal (Charvel, Suhr content)

    Thank you! The Fractal stuff is amazing - and I say this as a life long tube amp user with several nice ones right beside me. The trick for me was finding a handful of models in the AXE III that I really liked (a long with several cab/IR's) and just focusing on those, no endless scrolling or...

    Enjoying the Fractal (Charvel, Suhr content)

    It's hardly holiday music but thought I'd share this new one since it's pretty mellow.

    Bogner XTC101B favorite settings? Cab suggestions?

    I love vintage G12H30 55hz blackbacks with mine, can get some really pissed off crunch with that pairing.

    Your tricks for recording alone

    Just repeating what a lot of others have mentioned, being comfortable with your work space/flow is super helpful. It's nice to walk into your room, sit down and hit record and not have to fight things or figure shit out, etc, just letting the creative mojo roll. I use Cubase (ver 11 Pro)...

    Sammy, Joe, Mike and Jason play Van Halen on Howard Stern's show

    It's tough to dupe someones feel though, getting the notes, etc, right sure, but the personality/flair/vibe is difficult to replicate and I have a feeling Joe is not even bothering with that here but simply jamming out the tunes in the name of fun (and $$$). I have to wonder, if Edward himself...

    Eddie’s Most Difficult Riff

    The intro to Take Your Whiskey is a mutha to get that signature Eddie bounce just right.

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    Bingo, at least for me too. I've never been concerned with the modeled accuracy of amp "x" (I know, I know, that IS a big deal for many and even a selling/focus of the developers)...all I want is a way to get kick ass, pro level tones , from break up to shred for tracking purposes....I can...

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    Same here. If and when they release a IV it would have to be a mighty significant upgrade in the TONE dept for me to purchase one. I will personally need more than just a few new bells and whistles at this point because like you (and obviously many others) I'm really content with the current...

    New Kramer Baretta 1983 Reissue

    I have my own sort of 1983 Frankenkramer. That year the singer in our band and I both bought new Kramers, I went with a Baretta, he got the Vanguard ('V' body), both in white. The funny thing is, we swapped guitars often during gigs, guess we thought it was a fun little stage move lol...but over...
