    Cab Pack First Impressions

    Great write-up! I certainly agree on the quality of the pack, and that for someone like you, it’s likely the last link in the chain to sounding like The Man, aside from stealing his Marlboro-tatted fingers and stitching them onto your own hands, but hey – you can go too far sometimes, right...

    Cab Packs

    The Store has been updated, and I got an email saying they were fixed. I downloaded the new package, and was able to import the whole lot at once into Axe-Manage:Cabs through Axe-Edit. PLAYTIME!

    @jared, I can certainly cover a bit about what some kinds of pedals do to your tone, if you like.

    I’d probably shoot for a little earlier, since I know we have a lot of folks in the European countries, etc. Not much I can do for folks near Sayonil – that’s an 11.5 hour difference from me here, but I can shoot for about 4pm AZT, which (right now) is the same as Syn Time in California.

    LOL, Jak is far too kind, but I will help where I can. Your question is REALLY, REALLY BIG, Tobias, so I will start with the sub-question you asked, about the “cab packs.” Cabs, also called “IRs,” are impulse response algorithms that make up a virtual speaker cabinet. They work with amp...

    Save Me Cover😜😜

    I’m only about halfway through so far, and it’s late (2:20 am), but this is really, really good. I had to go and check your profile to see how long you’ve been playing. Your timing and feel are outstanding. Okay, so I kept watching… Really strong. You have a lot to be proud of, seriously! Only...

    Jamming

    Good question, and the answer is not entirely black and white. Personally, I’d be less strict if it was just a couple folks jamming for fun versus “we’ve started a band, this is practice.” If it’s just jamming, set the expectation beforehand – stone cold sober, a couple drinks to loosen up, or...

    Cab Packs

    @jared – Ids is correct. The cab pack is IRs (Impulse responses – digital models of speaker cabinets) for use with the Fractal Audio AxeFX amplifier emulator modules. Syn just switched to the AxeFX in the last few months. Some of us here have had them for a couple years. More and more...

    I suck at guitar

    That’s a feeling we all have unless we have millions of adoring fans, and even then sometimes. I’ve been playing 35 years and sometimes I just feel like I can’t play anything right. Take a leap of faith. Here, you will be supported – no matter what. I promise.

    Drop D tuning

    You’re just getting nasty now… 😉

    Drop D tuning

    No, hadn’t even heard of those. The brass is right for me, and at over $150 for a block of metal, the tungsten seems like overkill to me! The Fu-Tone brass blocks were $45-50 apiece, if I recall.

    Drop D tuning

    I put Fu-Tone brass blocks on both my 25 year old Ibanez Edge (Floyd Licensed) trems, and noticed a new brightness and a touch more sustain thanks to added mass and density. Good stuff.

    accessing the video

    If you go here, can you play the videos? https://www.soundslice.com/features/ Do you have Java installed and enabled in your Chrome browser? Soundslice doesn’t require it, but the source code for the page does call out Java, so that could be something.

    Cab Packs

    Okay, the 4×12 Hellwin 121 A (Hellwin 4×12 cab mic’d with a Royer R-121 Ribbon mic) is seriously good for what I’m looking for. It’s got the right flavor to match the Misha Zilla, but it’s got a sweeter clarity to it. Gonna play some more, but I might have bought my new cabinet…

    Drop D tuning

    Drop D is typically not something that would require a setup or any major changes, it’s just a bitch with a floating bridge, and typically you want to keep a Floyd guitar in one tuning unless you modify the bridge (we can get into that later if you like). For now, unlock the locking screws at...

    Seperate Account needed for the SG Store?

    I did need to create a separate account, but it worked just fine using the same email and password.

    Solo Trouble

    I really should have known that “simple repeated patterns” had a name. OSTINATOS! They go great with SALSA! Great lesson, Jak! And tasty playing!

    New Jason Becker Song😱

    Here’s the official video, with pictures of Jason, and pics and quotes of the folks playing on the song.

    Cab Packs

    As of this moment, you would need to modify them with Frac-Tool for use in anything but the AxeFXIII. I downloaded, and have run the “The Stage” cab through Fractool for my AxeFXIIXL+, and it works just fine, but you may wish to wait and see if they update the package with official .syx for all...
