Have you tried using the Exciter with a band or just by yourself? I found that it really livened things up when playing by myself, but when I used it at rehearsal it seemed to get lost in the mix (highs and lows seemed accentuated and of course lost to the bass guitar and cymbals). Perhaps I'm...

On a side note, I'm still trying to figure out how millions of people have been killed by wars over the past 25 years and not one peep from celebrity musicians (or anyone for that matter); then all the sudden..... I mean, it's great that they're passionate about whatever cause they're into, but...

I had a feeling that was the same telecaster - it's showing quite a bit more wear now.

I'm 54 years old and playing in a rock band. The only thing worse than watching an old guy play rock music is watching a fat old guy play rock music. So I hit the gym three times a week. I believe this also gives me the ability to remain energetic on stage. Also, I wear the dreaded fedora...

Dr. Demento.

Look, down between my legs... it's a Marshall Code 100W head (no cab). The amp does not have a "proper" direct line out, but the Effects Send, which contains everything - amp models, effects, and cab sim, goes into a D.I. box and to the P.A. I plugged a shorted cable into the Effects Return to...

I'm not so sure about that - humans strive for attention. Even people who are loaded with $$$. If David Gilmour thought this Ukraine thing is a worthwhile cause, that's great - we all have our passions. But music-wise, I think it would have been more legit as a solo Gilmour release. If he...

Well, we are in the age where old time rock bands are playing shows with only one original member, and sometimes ZERO original members... I was hoping Pink Floyd of all bands would not fall into that, but.... SURPRISE!! :mad: At least when Led Zeppelin regrouped for Live Aid, they had the three...

[Review] Not Pink Floyd - this is even less a Pink Floyd record as was "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", which Gilmour himself called a solo album, even though it actually container three members (this song, only two). The song is inert, the telecaster is not a relic, and the playing is great...

What pulled me out of a long-standing guitar rut, where I had no enthusiasm for it (even though our band is playing out) was a somewhat recent (2016, I think) live concert video of Ted Nugent, which had Derek St. Holmes on vocals and Mick Brown from Dokken on drums. The absolute fire in the...

I love the tone other guys get with a stratocaster bridge pickup. I hate the tone I get from it.

All I can say is that I saw The Melvins back in 1995, and I wish I appreciated them as much at that time as I do now.

Toilet paper.....

It pretty much is. The high-end digital gear is indistinguishable from it in every way, except cost and weight.

I'm actually surprised tube gear has lasted as long as it has. I'm a digital guy now, partially because I know tube gears' days are numbered and the only thing really keeping it alive are a small handful of enthusiasts.
