    Fractal Audio Club

    Yep, own and use Ownhammer and 3Sig IRs for years.. excellent captures. I should be able to convert them for Fractal.. on the list of things to look into.

    Fractal Audio Club

    Thanks for the info and will keep that tucked away, definitely will look into that setlist function asap. Until I decide for sure to keep it, I plan to scrounge around for some already workable free presets. As for the skinny guitars the unit (tonally) is an upgrade to my 7+ yr old Helix, just...

    NBD! Got my Squier Late 60's Jazz Bass!

    ***I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR FRETBOARDS*** Just FYI.. this morning I worked out for about an hour with some blues backing tracks and noticed my finger tips were smeared black from the stain. Then I noticed my new strings were starting to get dark as well!?!?! So I spent an hour and a...

    OK, tried it. Not a huge difference on either my Tele or my Revstar. But the tint change was noticeable. For the price, it was not a big deal to give it a shot. Only one treatment on both guitars but I did a few applications each time - I’ll see how the next few treatments go (string changes).

    NBD! Got my Squier Late 60's Jazz Bass!

    Picked up a bottle of the Old English recently and after a few applications, it did not stain the dot inlays on my Tele or the block inlays on my Revstar.

    Why do so many players love flats?

    I use flats for all music. You just can’t get the growl with rounds. Flats do require good technique and controlled muting for…, and I think that is what puts a lot of people off. Rounds are so forgiving of fingering mistakes… well, you get the point.

    Why do so many players love flats?

    I really liked rounds until I bought a used Fender JB that came with flats.. fell in love, both feel and tone. No turning back.

    Why is Pink Floyd more popular and appealing than Rush?

    Worked with a drummer years ago - wait, TRIED to work with a drummer years ago - who was a big Rush fan. Just about every song we tried to learn, yea you guessed it, was way over-drummed. He was complicated and we wanted to make bar/dance music. Needless to say, that band fell apart pretty...
