    “Pros · Exceptional clarity for a neck-position humbucker · Tight low end with no muddiness on wound strings · Very fast and precise pick response · Excellent note separation, even in higher registers · Brighter and more articulate than typical...

    UAD plugins - can't get them to sound even close to decent

    Thank you. Can run the Dream 65 pedal through that set up and it sounds great. Maybe should try a Luna preamp as Securb suggests.

    Thanks. Guess I need to continue mucking about with EQ and input levels.

    UAD plugins - can't get them to sound even close to decent

    Thanks to all. Have spent some time with various EQ adjustments, trying out various microphone and speaker configurations.

    UAD plugins - can't get them to sound even close to decent

    Thanks, The plugin sounds flat and unnatural, nothing like a '65 Blackface. The Dream '65 pedal does a very good job of accurately sounding like a '65 Blackface. Both running thru the same studio monitor.

Have been trying to get even remotely worthwhile. Contacted UAD support and verified I have everything...

    Anyone Get Anything Fun For Christmas?

    Don’t think the platform has been supported for many years. This one came with a dozen pedals: 4 overdrive/distortion, 3 delays along with flangers, compressor, octavers, phaser and chorus. Have only tried the tape delay and tube screamer so far. The attached clip is poor quality but maybe you...

    Anyone Get Anything Fun For Christmas?

    Saturday garage sale find $5: iStomp with old iPhone. Has dozens of pedals: overdrive, distortion, delay, flanger, etc. with variations of each type. Really like the tube screamer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13MlH-wiSul2k9rfjvJ-d-jl4S7aUJpYr/view?usp=drivesdk

    NAD - Friedman JJ Jr.

    Winning formula…always like to go back to a couple of tube amps have tucked away…there really is nothing like the real deal, no matter how close my Kemper gets and the flexibility it provides.

    Les Paul invented the electric guitar while working at a hamburger stand

    He had built a PA system out of a telephone and his mother’s radio but then needed to get his guitar louder. Interesting interview on Letterman:
