So i'm looking to get a 5-string as there are some songs I am needing to play that go below E. I'd rather play the correct note than an octave above on my 4-string. The problem is with the demise of PMT there are no instrument shops in my city, with the exception of 1 that usually only has 2nd...

True, but the last bit was more tongue in cheek. I’m more looking for if there was a technical or artistic reason not to do it. The financial benefit is obvious (to me at least)

So I play a lot of songs with alternative tunings (Eb and D mainly) as well as in standard E. This is not an issue when practicing at home as. Can take my time to retune, but in rehearsals and gigs, it wastes a lot of time. Rather than having several other guitars (that I can’t afford) in...

I saw a video from Andertons Music (a shop in the UK, I think there is a link on an earlier post) on YT where the guy said there was a tube in the Digbeth. I have no idea if he was correct or not as I've been unable to find definitive info either way. But anyway, that's how the channels are...

All 3 are around the same price here in the UK £140 give or take a few £'s

I received my Digbeth a few days ago. Unfortunately there was terrible ground hiss that would only disappear if there was a cable plugged into the output socket (so a bit useless if I was DI'ing into FOH). Seemed to be a grounding issue. I sent it back and received the replacement today. Spent...

Of the videos I’ve watched the Battalions is definitely ranked 3rd behind the NUX and the Laney. It seems to be more of a distortion pedal with a preamp added on rather than than a preamp with drive. I also already have a compressor

Yes, with an Ampeg SVT 810 IR from Shift Line. It's mainly for running DI to FOH, but will be using it with my headphones for quiet practice at home

That's a bit out of my price range unfortunately

WEhat sort What sort of tone are you going for?

My NU-X was delivered yesterday. Had no issues with updating the firmware, or running the software (MacBook M1 Pro), but I'm struggling to get a tone out of it that I like. I'm looking for that 60s/70s British classic rock warmth. I have added a couple of IRs from Shiftline, and at the moment am...

I've just bought this pedal (it arrivs tomorrow), but in the meantime the software downloads can be found here

What would your practice routine look like if you only had, say, 1 hour a day to practice? Finger exercises? Scales? Playing songs? The more detail the better, so how long on each element, what scales, exercises, etc. links to anything also appreciated. Just looking for some inspiration and...
