The metal muff has come up in conversation a few times. I need to demo that thing i reckon. I'm trying to work out if the ISP Decimator is worth the extra £40 over an MXR Noise clamp at the minute too.

i'm going to experiment with the FX loop, i've never used it before. Hmm pedal power eh...

I bought an MXR line boost and i'm running everything through the clean channel on my amp for the immediate future. I've got a lot to think about for tweaking my sound later though, a noise gate for a start. Thanks very much everyone.

The wylde overdrive is certainly a pedal i've considered! Thanks very much

I've heard that overdrive pedals really work well to boost the overdrive channel on my amp. I've never tried it though. Surely that would only help out for a rhythm tone? I'd worry about it getting muddy? If it didn't then a line boost would then sort out my solos i guess.

I've got a gig coming up with a fairly successful local band, playing a really good venue and i need to sort out my live sound properly. Essentially at short notice i've been hired to fill the gap as they've been playing with only one guitarist for around 12 months. To introduce me as a new...

To bump this thread, the website is at last up and running! Drop in and give it a look!

Lower tunings that's meant to be. The NJ Deluxe is out in April, i can get the seven string now. Would it be a mission to fit emg's in it?

I've come seeking the Black Knight's guidance once more. I have been set on the NJ Deluxe JR-V and indeed in the 2012 range, there is a white one, it looks awesome! However, with my new band the other guitarist wants to work in higher tunings and the bassist and drummer want to cover some...

I might take you up on that if we struggle to find a solution to any problems!

How can anyone talk about powermetal without mentioning Helloween and Firewind? The only 'thrash' band that still sounds fresh to me is Machinehead. At the end of the day, you're talking about genre bands sounding the same as the originators. How about, instead of looking for more powermetal...

To my knowledge, neck through construction will always give you better sustain. Frankly it makes sense, if there is no join, then there's no gap (however small) for the vibrations to be lost in. Sustain comes from resonance. I completely understand that much. However, i have always been told...

The lowest end models of any guitars tend to be bolt on, higher than those are set neck. I've always understood that through neck construction is the best type of guitar build. However today i read that 'set through' is superior.I thought set through was a half arsed imitation of through neck...

And you're a dark tower fan?

Hey all, Seeming its so incredibly difficult to break into the media business these days and not even the lowliest publication will give you the time of day unless you have experience i've taken matters into my own hands and have started a website. Music is my passions, specifically metal...
