    ENGL E530... cab cable question

    Usually I would suggest contacting the ENGL support however at least in my case I never received a reply. If you leave the other cable unplugged you might short circuit the device and damage it permanently, so I advise against it strongly until you are 110% sure otherwise. I'd see if your...

    Is the Boss TU-3 good enough for recording?

    For some reason I didn't enjoy the Istrobosoft tuner all that much. It works ok but I feel the Stomp Classic is much better.

    Is the Boss TU-3 good enough for recording?

    I only ever use my Peterson Stomp Classic which is a very accurate strobe tuner that can also very accurately track low notes with ease, unlike other tuners which sometimes have a hard time displaying low tunings accurately or even at all. I personally hate needle tuners for the reason that it's...

    Best DI Box for guitar?

    The Radial J48 DI I owned was lacking in the low end but sounded nice otherwise. I'd seriously take a look at the Rupert Neve RNDI if it's within your budget, seems to sound killer.

    Pack for 7-String suggestion

    The cobalts are my second favorite strings but from my experience they do have a bit of a rough feel. They sound great tough! My favorite strings right now are D'Addario NYXLs, I purchase the 6 string balanced tension sets and individual 7th strings, which makes it easy to choose a good gauge...

    Fishman Fluence KSE Set Walkthrough

    Just check the backside, it should display the revision version there. By the way, Ken Susi confirmed yesterday in a live stream that rev 3.5 is the final version for the modern set.

    would you do this on a Custom Bass!?

    You will definitely need some kind of tone shaping even before going into an amp, even more so if you plan on using the DI output with software amp emulations. A 3 band built in EQ will not make you go crazy, especially since most of them have fixed frequency points, so at most you will give the...

    would you do this on a Custom Bass!?

    What you could of course also do is to use one pickup only but have it moved further away from the bridge and more towards the neck, so that you get a good balanced sound from this one pickup that includes enough low end. That would work out just fine and you'd still be able to shape the tone to...

    would you do this on a Custom Bass!?

    I always had best results when blending between bridge and neck pickups, anywhere from 70:30 to 50:50 bridge:neck, to get a well balanced frequency response and a usable full sounding tone, both DI and through an amp. Bridge pickup only would almost always result in a lacking low end to me, with...

    Wintersun New Album and Crowdfunding

    It's all good man. My earliest was actually meant jokingly, and my rant was not directed at you.

    Wintersun New Album and Crowdfunding

    A quick view on my profile would have shown you that I'm the brand manager at EverTune. I get paid for doing my work at EverTune, whether I post on forums or not is my own decision. I started out as an audio engineer long before I had any position with EverTune and I do post on several forums...

    Wintersun New Album and Crowdfunding

    What's wrong about the EverTune, and underpants? I'd rather have him wear pants than not wear any at all. By the way we didn't ask him to record this video, he's genuinely supporting us, which at least to us means a lot. When I met Jari in 2015 he played some of the new material to me that was...

    EMG 81/85 clipping, is it normal?

    I suggest checking out the 24v mod which you can use without changing the wiring or routing for a second 9v battery box. It works well but I fortunately moved on to Fishmans.
