Re: Anybody here using wireless?

I use the Line6 2.4 GHz version. I have a G90 in my main rig (Axe FX III rack) and a G50 mounted to the bottom of my FM9 board with antennae mounted on top. I have a total of 4 body packs. After almost 9 years of pretty heavy use, the connections on the packs are a bit beat up. It's worked very well...

Yup, that neck alone sold me. Pairing it with that soft pink goes well too. Slowhand, you are the GC used master!

Sounds great! Haven't listened to your stuff in a while, but I love the tone you're getting here! It's aggressive sounding but the mix is easy on the ears, if that makes any sense.

Re: 5 position hyper switch seymour duncan

Very intriguing! I use 5 way Super Switches or Mega Switches or whatever switches on my HH guitars whenever possible.

Re: Some Expensive Boxes Just Showed Up

I know you all are dying to know that I had to upgrade my rack. Went from a normal 4U SKB rack to a Shallow 6U SKB rack so I could add an IEM transmitter. I recently joined an original band and needed my own IEM system. The cover band I've played in for 7 years supplies the IEMs. The patch bay I hav...

Re: Favorite Beer poll

Outside the West Coast, gotta go with Three Floyd's Zombie Dust, out of Munster, Indiana. Quite possibly one of the best IPA's ever made. I stopped there on a business trip. I love their death metal branding style. Probably the main reason whenever I order one. Niche target marketing at its finest!

I like a bunch of Lakefront's beer: Riverwest, Bierzeit, and Oktoberfest come to mind.

Re: Help my incompetent hiney! (Wiring issues)

When you say that the volume pot does "nothing" does that mean you have sound from the pickups but can't roll it back, or does it mean that you can't get any sound? I had sound, but the pot did not raise or lower it. I reflowed the solder, double checked connections and tried again. Now t...

Line bottom of basket with aluminium foil (to keep kernels from falling thru the holes.) Doesn't this defeat the mechanism of an Air Fryer? Isn't it just a convection oven? I live by myself and use my air fryer at least once a week. I'm pretty sure the flow of hot air is the point. I could be wrong...

Re: PSA: Rare bird on eBay - AL-2500 GT triple P90

Still sitting at $115 this morning. What's the deal with these auctions, does the price typically climb steeply near the end? I've actually never bid in an eBay auction, too much anxiety. I'm the type of person who is grateful when there's a buy now button, even if I've got to pay a little more. It...

Re: Portable Modelers. Waddya got?

I'm a fan of Fractal gear. I take my AX8 to the open jam I run sound at and sometimes to rehearsals when I'm too lazy to take my Axe FX III rig. I'm currently on the waitlist for the FM9, though the FM3 can be plenty power for a lot of people. I'm moreso turned off by the only 3 footswitches thing.

Very cool, since the amp is going on it, you'll want some decent wood and make sure the joints are glued or at least VERY snug to prevent rattling.

Welcome back, Pesky! As others said, forum-wise, it's been a little sad with losses and a slower rate of posts.

I recently traded my Axe FX II XL+ for a Mesa Dual Rectifier Roadster amp.

When I got a trade offer for the Roadster amp, my first response wa...
