Right on. I can't remember if I tried the Grind or 33 with the Black Heavens when I had those loaded. Hopefully that combo rips for you 🤘

I generally prefer the 33, but honestly the differences are not that significant imo. I think they're just about the same minus some resistor added on the 33 if memory serves me correctly. To my ears the mids are a little sweeter/warmer and more dense on the 33, while the Grind seems slightly...

I haven't messed with the Airis pedals you mentioned, but I have a 33 and Grind. I often tune to drop C so not insanely low, and while I've had good results with some pickups and amps, they are definitely picky with what they like it seems. Sometimes it's great and other times not so much...

I have the little Ojai, not the R30.

So there has been some more issues with my Ojai since this. I went to the studio since posting this and guess what? It had only been individual outlets losing power before, but now if you looked at that stupid plastic connector wrong the whole thing lost power. Had to rig the cable up just...

Thing is mine will only cut out on certain of its outlets and not on others, so the whole thing never completely loses power. I have no idea how that thing is wired inside, so maybe it still is that connector somehow. I just know I have to wiggle the connector where it plugins into the Ojai and...

Yeah the Spark Boost is a good one to have in the arsenal when you want to stick closer to your core tone than what a TS will give you. If I'm nitpicking, it could use a little more output imo; however, it's still a worthy one to have around for sure.

I've heard that about that connector as well.

Funny you say that. When I first got my Ojai, I was hearing something similar. I ended up getting a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2, and the Ojai did make drive pedals sound more harsh in comparison. It sent me down a rabbit hole of researching online hahaha, but apparently I wasn't the only person...

I have a Strymon Ojai. It can be finicky at times keeping a consistent electrical connection on some of its outlets. Like something inside has a poor connection. Super annoying at times. It's never been gigged or roughed up either. If I was gigging again, I would not use it.

My first as well. I was a broke teenager, so I saved up mowing lawns and selling some old Star Wars toys lol.

I've had both in the same guitars: M6 - it's a little hotter & punchier with a more firm/stiff and aggressive attack under the fingers. There is a little bit of a hollow characteristic to it as well. It has quite a bit of bass. So much so that it can actually get overly boomy in some guitars...

Definitely give the SM57 a shot. Edit: Just to add, the OC18 is a freaking monster on guitar cabs too. It's good enough to be a single source mic for guitar cabs and also blends well with a 57. It's not cheap, though. However, I'd still start with the SM57 as a first mic specifically for...

I played a handful of LP and SG Moderns back in 2019 at a local shop near me that gets lots of nice Gibsons. I was super excited to check them out and really wanted to like them, but I didn’t dig them at all. They looked and felt cheap - the fit and finish was subpar, wobbly pots, didn’t...

The MCP Garuda would be a good candidate.

Who's going to be the first to get one and send it to Mesa for the "++" mod? lol

I like them, but they are amp dependent and you have to watch the top end. The also seem rather sensitive to mic placement. I really dig them with my Carsten Grace & Plexi. They’re also cool with my EVH Stealth, but ultimately I like that amp better with V30’s.

I’ve only played the Warpig from that list. The alnico one is definitely thick. A bit round as well. I didn’t love it. I’d honestly lean towards the ceramic version. It’s thick enough, but has more tightness and cut without being harsh. It’s an “on all the time” sort of pick up in regards to its...

Isn’t there something different going on with the preamp section of these? I think I recall reading it was digital.

YO!
