Hi all! So on Wednesday I bought a Silver Sky SE. I wanted to share my experience so far as I think it might be insightful to strat players who are interested in the SS. I'll start with some background. I am a Fender strat player through and through and have been for years now. 75% of the time...

Hi all, got a set of fat 50s installed in my strat. Neck pickup broke. About to install an SSL-1 to replace the neck. How do the wires go to not screw with the RWRP Fat 50s middle? just want to confirm because I always manage to get this wrong haha

Hi all! Just a simple amp maintenance question. Recently got a DRRI secondhand, I believe the original owner bought it in 2021, making it about 3 years old. Apparently never gigged and it seems in perfect condition. Today was the first time i heard a quiet but noticeable click when digging in...

Hey everyone! been getting really frustrated recently as when I play at home or even in rehearsals, I love the way I play and think I sound great, but that’s not the case as soon as I stop on stage. on stage I completely forget where notes are, I’m unable to improvise and my fingers just move...

Hey all! So I've had the Ridge for a couple of years now and its always been on my board. I have basically never managed to get something decent out of it, surprisingly. It is suppose to immitate every OD pedal out there and I've seen many videos and forums where people seem to manage to do...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to invest im a tube amp. I use the amp mainly clean and the main type of sound i go for is inspired by John Mayer, Philip Sayce, SRV. I'm playing 50% of the time in a bedroom, 30% in rehearsals and the other 20% in small bar gigs. The main amps I'm considering are...

Hi all, I have an issue that's been driving me crazy. Basically a crackling sound in all my guitar recordings. I've tried troubleshooting but can't find the cause. There is no clipping anywhere in the track, in between any plugins. The crackle is present when recording directly into the...

Hi guys, I have a very frustrating issue at hand. hum related to pedalboard. Troubleshooted the problem today to find the culprit. BOSS TU-3 tuner is definitely creating the hum. Simplified my signal down to: strat -> tuner -> amp. the tuner in the signal path created hum even when not...

Hello guys! So after 3 years of doing predominantly studio work and guitar lessons, I have just been asked to play in quite a successful band here in Spain playing disco / pop songs as funk/soul covers. I need to buy some sort of amp for live shows. I'm thinking whether to get a physical tube...

Hi guys! Looking to get the Continuum higher-driven tones. For example from Bold As love or Belief solo. My relevant gear is a 60s style Fender Strat, a Fulltone Full-drive 2, a Kernom Ridge and an amp sim, the Kuassa Matchlock (emulates Fender tweed amps). I'm sure I can get close with this...

Hi all! So I have a Mexican classic player 60s strat. I've loved the guitar since I bought and is basically the only guitar I play. The only problems I have are minimal set-up issues. It can lose its balance very easily, whether its the neck bowing too much, the saddles lowering by themselves...

So recently I've been mad into Philip Sayce. He has always had incredible sound but I feel like the past couple of years it has reached even higher emotional levels. I understand his pedals and gear are top class but I truly believe its that right hand that is generating 90% of that beautiful...

Hello all! Writing to request advice on my social media content. My problem is that I've experienced a drammatic drop in engagement. It almost feels like Instagram singled me out and stopped showing my videos to any non-followers. About 6 months ago, I suddenly went from 300k views per reel to...

Hi all! So I've had this issue recently where I can get a pretty decent clean tone going straight from my guitar to my DAW, with a Fender Replica amp plugin (KuassaMatchlok). This is basically exclusively for recording. I'm using a strat and play in 4th and 5th position almost exclusively. (4th...

Hi all! So on Friday I took my Classic Player 60s Strat in for a set-up. Picked it up yesterday without much time to try it out in the studio. Got home and the string action was just too low even though the saddles were maxed out. Crazy fret buzz.. Was surprised the tech didnt notice as it was...
