    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    I did see that! Gonna absolutely support them if they can ramp it up

    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    I'm heavily considering a Quad Cortex since they're gonna add integration with their Archetype VSTs and the ability to pull them to the unit. But, that's still a while out yet 'till I could get hands on one...

    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    Things may hopefully look up sooner now...today EHX got word out that they'll be able to ship out of Russia, albeit delayed. Fingers crossed that goes for all...

    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    For sure! It sucks because we didn't really have time to prepare...by the time the news really broke it was already past the cutoff. If anyone is looking for a very high-quality software solution for relatively little money, Neural DSP's Archetype programs are extremely good.

    That's one way to go about it!

    Important PSA for All Tube Amp Lovers

    Hey everyone! As a lover of all things vacuum tube myself, I know a lot of people here will really benefit from this information as well, and since I deal with this daily as my job I thought it important to give everyone here a heads-up that will be extremely important. We all collectively...

    Battery on sun valley schreder

    Mine can last over a month if I’m not using it heavily. I recommend rechargeable batteries to save money in the long run. Unplugging the cable from the guitar while not playing is a necessity, because the battery will always be draining when plugged in.

    Bridge and Sustaniac pick-up height .

    You gotta be real careful with the Sustainiac height because small adjustments can make noteworthy effects on how it sounds. I encourage playing around with it if you're willing to find good character, but do so carefully. The average "good" height for a pickup is 5/64ths to 4/64ths of an inch...

    I want to buy the sun valley schreder

    I own several myself, and they’re extremely well built. They get a very high recommendation from me. The neck profiling is especially comfortable.

    Tips for transcribing that helped me

    If you want one of the best tempo alter/reprogram pitch programs out there, check out DeCoda by Zplane. Zplane is everywhere and you don't know it - for those who know, they design a ton of the DSP algos used by Universal Audio. Take a look - it's worth the small price.

    Strange sound when playing 2 notes

    Sounds like you're crossing notes that don't like being crossed and it's becoming dissonant.

    Picks shapes and sizes

    I've been all about the signature picks it seems lately haha. The Dunlop Andy James signature Flows have been my #1 for a good time now, and my #2 that I honestly like equally is Rabea Massaad's Flow. They're both matte (absolutely hate gloss picks) but the striking edge is polished so they flow...

    Bat Country. Instant convert right then and there

    favorite gear

    I'm gonna go the same route as Alicia and highlight another hugely important tone piece! For me, it's the centerpiece of my tone besides the guitar - the Victory V4 Kraken Preamp (and soon to be Super Kraken head). I'm admittedly a sucker for tubes and having 4 of them in a drive/preamp pedal...

    Blocking a Floyd Rose

    If you want to maintain tuning stability and make it dive-only, Floyd makes a FRTL40 block. I’ve installed those when installing a D-Tuna, they’re not permanent and adjustable. Just be sure to crank the spring tension so it pulls back against that type of blocker and you’re golden.
