    How do you stop over-criticizing yourself?

    Man... I've heard a couple recording of myself recently from band practice, and I am NOT impressed. Bad timing, poor technique, sloppy playing, the works. I've been playing for probably around 20 years now, and just UGH, it feels like I'm back at square one. However, everyone I talk to seems...

    "Modern metal" sound/EQ help

    If this is the wrong section, i apologise. My thinking is it will be an effect that will get me where I'm trying to go, but if this needs moved, we can do that Hey guys, so I'm having a hell of a time trying to get that "Nolly", modern metal sound, as in this video here. I have all the...

    Octave up bad for tweeter?

    Sorry if this should be in effects. Since my question is ultimately about my cab I put it here, but if it should move, please feel free. That said... I have the EHX MicroPog. It blends your dry signal, octave down, and octave up together. It's a great pedal that gives some really cool sounds...

    EQD Monarch VERY sensitive

    Sorry in advance for the long read-I've tried to be as detailed as possible. I've only recently (~8 months or so) gotten into using pedals and a pedalboard. I have an EQD Monarch which sounds absolutely KILLER. However...the Level knob is super touchy. As in, if off is 6:30 (all the way left)...

    St. Patty's fight

    This was a first for me in nearly 1100 shows. I'm not sure exactly what caused it (other than alcohol, obviously), but Dude A walked up and sucker punched Dude B in the face (a coward move, to be sure, but in all fairness that punch was executed with perfect form and connected HARD). They fall...

    Mesa M6 DI question

    Hey guys real quick question I can't find the answer to anywhere...does the di out on the back of the mesa boogie m6 carbine, when in the "post" setting, include any effects in the effects loop? Or is the signal taken before the effects loop, but after the preamp on the boogie?

    A Question about Kalium (and other stuff)

    OK, so little back story. I have a Dingwall Combustion, I play in a heavy metal band, drop tuned to G-C-G-C-F. I'm pretty interested in Kalium strings, but has anyone used them for drop tuned bass before? What strings would you compare them to, if any? My other question is, what gauge strings...

    My band on youtube

    As best as I can tell, this belongs here. If I am wrong, 1000 apologies, and please move it to where it should go. Now that that's out of the way... Here's a video of me and my band, Psychopathic Daze, playing the title track off of our newest EP "Ride This Bullet Home" (WARNING: HEAVY METAL...

    What song to end with?

    My band has been having a friendly debate lately, so I figured I'd pitch it to you guys, see where you land on it. The question is: Should we end our set with a cover? We're an original melodic heavy metal band out of Chicago. We have a solid hours worth of original material, and...

    What's your "White Whale"?

    Here's the backstory. About 10 years ago, I owned a silver Ibanez EDA905. It was my first 5 string, and I loved the bass. For those who aren't familiar, it has a standard magnetic pickup, and 5 piezo's in the string saddles. Well, when I owned this bass, I was more or less ignorant as to how...

    How to USE compression?

    I did a search, but didn't find what I was looking for. Apologies if I missed it. Here's the thing. I understand HOW compression works. Attack, threshold, ratio, release, etc., I get it for the most part. Where I get stuck is how to USE it (maybe APPLY would be a better word?) in a live...
