https://youtu.be/--Eu3kVIjhs Hey guys here's a new shootout video I did. I love the Full Shred, honestly. It does the things for me that the classic JB can't/won't. That being said I love the Breed by Steve Vai and DiMarzio too! So why not let 'em loose in a head to head and see how they fare...

Hey guys. I would have preferred this Jackson 8 string with Duncan Distortions or EMTY Blackouts instead of EMG's but FWIW it worked well enough :) What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPffm2xGQL8 (If you don't mind liking the video and subscribing to my channel it would really...

Hey my fellow players! I hope all is well :) I love classic rock/metal/alternative so I decided to do a cover of a classic from 1984 by the sunset strip heroes RATT :) I hope you like it and please subscribe as I'm trying to grow this channel. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlDIIweIE2A

Hey guys. I recorded a demo quite a long time ago but never uploaded it to my channel until now. Here it is. Hope you like it and I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Apologies for the lighting... I love this JEM! It's really fast and feels great! At the time of the video there was an Evo bridge...

So guys... I managed to migrate my RG470FM from passive to active using the Mustaine set (and it's accompanying 100k ohm pots). The wiring ended up negating the tone pot completely (which I can live with and might actually prefer here) and the stock 5 way switch has the neck pickup on in...

Hi guys I tested both the FS and DD in my awesome RG2820CTVV Ultra Prestige to choose between them. I chose the FS for its katana-like precision and feel. Pinch harmonics were so easy too. Nice cleans were a bonus. I like the DD too for its in your face big, powerful tone but I found the EQ...

Anyone ever tried this pickup out? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Seymour-Duncan-Custom-Shop-78-EVH-F-spaced-Trembucker-Bridge-4-Conductor-Zebra/312509165559?epid=2209737278&hash=item48c2ff6ff7:g:0a0AAOSwcUNbchbN I'm a big fan of EVH and play his famous stuff on my Charvel San Dimas...

Hi Would this cleaner be safe on unfinished maple fretboards like the 2010 Charvel San Dimas MIJ and 2011 Ibanez JEM505? I'm pretty sure both are unfinished (do not have shiny lacquer like Strat boards usually do)? No lemon oil should be used on maple, right? Recommend your trusted favourite...

Hi. Ibanez RG2570 with Edge Pro, basswood body, 5 piece maple/walnut neck, 11-48 strings for D standard. Used to rip thru heavy/prog/power metal ala Dream Theatre/Symphony X vibe/style. I would like to run the D Activator X neck in the neck but curious how a Humbucker from Hell would work in...

Hey guys. Modelling amps. The bone of contention in our community. I recorded this video of me playing thru different Kemper presets on tap. I didn't run it through the Marshall JVM cab I had at the time and instead ran it direct via XLR thru my DI into Cubase and hit record. Let me know what...

I'm an amp distortion player but have nothing against good sounding pedals. I got introduced to the ML2 thru a trade (neck DiMarzio IBZ from my Prestige for the Boss ML2). Plugged it in and got hit hard by the sheer gain this thing has! It's pretty extreme across the board and does not clean up...

...I use the 16 ohm output of my Orange #4 tube head into the Marshall's right (when viewing the cab from the back) input which states "mono 8 ohm"). I was running this cab using one of the two 8 ohm outputs at the back of the Orange but found through experimentation yesterday that it sounded...

Anyone found a DiMarzio set or even a single pickup from them that sounds like a BW (neck or bridge)?

Hey guys. EMG plus 2 batteries in a neck thru RG Prestige? I dig the results and had a blast rocking out in this video. If you don't mind please watch it and let me know what you think? I'd prefer Blackouts at the end of the day but have no qualms about the tone from the 81/60 in this...

Guys, anyone run the Mustaine set from his Dean VMNT's in their RG before? I've got an X2N in her bridge now and she slays! A friend is offering me the Mustaine set, probably my fav active set. Them and the Blackouts. EMG's third place :p In terms of wiring, I'm thinking of running just two...
