I believe the word is "eccentric".

Not sure. It might be, or Ibanez's version of one.

I've been wanting an acoustic amp for a while now. Found this in the same pawn shop as the Ibanez I just got. Fishman LBX-500.

Found this Ibanez yesterday. Passive EMG's, H4a and H4 I think. Sounded like crap when I first plugged it in, but after lowering them a bit, not so bad. No fret wear and the neck is straight. Finish is good aside from a little scuffing where a pickguard would go. I might put an X2N in the...

If you're listening to Dream Theater live, they could literally break into any other song at any given moment, play a few bars, then go right back into the previous song that they were playing. Or, they could just play "Octavarium".

I'm going to say that the output of the pickup is part of it's overall character. You can't change it without changing the character. Not saying you can't get a good high gain sound using a lower output pickup, especially if you are running into something digital. In fact, hitting the input of...

I have a single 1x12 cab that's convertible. I used to run it closed for years, thinking that it would give me a tighter bass response for metal. But for the last few years, I've been running it open because it brightens it up a bit. That and I'm only using a 5W head so it doesn't really need...

I don't know as I do sound unique. I have enough vids in "tips and clips" for people to see and hear. And I have yet to hear many comments from others saying that they think I sound unique. So I probably don't. But then, I play because I like the way I sound, and that's it.

Nice! Consider running one open backed.

I'm a fan of the Jet City Picovalve. Only 5W but you can mike it if need be.

The Fuglybucker set.

Here's what I was playing this past Sunday.

Try barbed wire if you really want brutal.
