My only issue with the Schecters I have tried in the past couple of years is how heavy they are. One in particular broke my heart. It ticked all the boxes: roasted maple neck, ebony board, comfortable neck profile, etc. Then I picked it up. It was heavier than the Les Paul Custom sitting near it in ...

The other option is to have the fretboard edges "rolled". Most luthiers and techs could handle that and if you are feeling adventurous, there are videos on the internet of how to do it. I had a Sterling JP100D that had a similar issue. The edges were just very squared off. Rolling the edge...

I recall a video from when the first version of the Kraken was released, in which Rabea mentioned that its voice was designed to resemble two of his favorite amplifiers: the DSL on the crunch channel (though I'm not certain about the mode) and the 5150 Block Letter on the lead channel.

I have not had a chance to give the Kraken a try, but I played a Sheriff and the RK50 a few months back and was floored at how good they sounded. Now I need to go try the Kraken. HNAD.

I have a massive amount of respect for the Orange solid-state amps. Having caught Kings X twice in the last few years I can attest that the Super Crush 100 head sounds massive, tube-like, and very dynamic to volume knob settings. Ty used the Super Crush into two Orange 4x12's with a Line 6 HX effect...

Yeah I had the contour always on. I didn't really like the gain channel without it. Too Santana :D I was the same with my f30 until I threw a BB preamp in front of it and it was magic. The amp circuit wise is not all that different from the lonestar amps and I found the Andy Timmons settings were a...

Well, how about that! Next time I review a pedal, I'll have to look more closely at the specs and features! :cop: I am horrible for that, too. Manuals are for nerds. The POD Express arrived yesterday and I have to say that I really dig the amp tones - and - the effects. I tried it with my mixdown h...

The output jack on the Tonex One doubles as a headphone jack. If you plug a stereo 1/4 inch jack into it, it switches to headphone mode.

The newer bolt-on version of that guitar features a mahogany body, while the older neck-through version has a maple neck and center, with agathis wings. I owned an agathis LTD for a while, and I had significant trouble finding pickups that complemented the wood, as it produced a very dark sound. You...

I have used the capture for those one-off items like the old modded ADA Mp1 and modded Rockmaster and my GH30R. Its also been useful for capturing things like an Xotic SL Drive into the clean channel of my MT15 and the ODR-1 into the lead channel of the MT15 and a BB Preamp into the Mesa F30. Probab...
