    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKdVmAVHPp0 Hey all, I just produced this video of my bandmate doing a guitar playthrough of one of our songs. It turned out pretty cool so I wanted to share! (I lowered the vocals in the mix so folks could focus on the guitars in case anyone's struggling to...

    EMG85 Straight Into Trem-O-Verb (Modern Metal / Full Band)

    Hey guys, I recorded a couple tracks with the band during what I guess was all the way back around Christmas time. And it just occurred to me that someone around here might like to hear what a Mesa Trem-O-Verb can sound like in a modern metal setting when it's run straight into an EMG 85-85-SA...

    Matchless 4x12, is $500 a bargain?

    Hey guys, I came across one of these bad boys (in green with gold grill cloth) for $500. I've seen Matchless' own price quote of around $1200 and have generally heard fantastic things about their combos and heads, however, I haven't heard much about there cabs. Thoughts? (It would be getting...

    Realistic Rack Enclosure

    So I'm contemplating starting a rack setup consisting of a Furman power conditioner, ISP Decimator, and perhaps in the future, a rack tuner and effects processor. But what I'm trying to decide is whether to get a case just for the rack components, or get one that I could also slip my...

    3/4 Stack Cab/Head Impedance Matching Questions

    So I'm looking into treating myself to a 4x12 to add to my tremoverb 1/4 stack, but no matter how hard I try to understand the information out there about this impedance stuff, I just feel stupid. So the tremoverb has one 16ohm input, two 8ohm inputs, and two 4ohm inputs. Currently I'm using a...

    Direct Recording Software for Long Distance Writing

    Hey guys, I'm trying to find a relatively inexpensive amp-modeling/recording environment, for my Macbook Pro (can swing Windows if necessary), that can provide me with a workable array of tones (with some decent metal ones) so that I can more easily do some long-distance writing/riff sharing...

    Seven string 25.5" vs. 27" for standard tuning

    I'm heavily considering having KxK Guitars build me a custom 7-string V, however, the main issue I'm having trouble making a decision on is whether to go with the standard 25.5" scale or the bari-like 27". At the moment I plan to keep this guitar BEADGBE, is this going to be unplayable on the...

    Jackson Warrior Discussion

    I feel there's a lack of info and GAS enhancers/suppressors:laugh2: on the net for this Jackson, so I thought we could try and pool some knowledge about these guitars in one place. Any successful musicians/bands play one? It's the one shape that I never see anyone use. Also, does anyone on...
