    New Fractal Audio floor fx unit

    when digital units become good at reproducing a 60 dollar mxr phase 90 or a simple analog flanger or fuzz I would jump in... I went on a digital effects quest... other than reverb and delay most of them have no presence or character in a live rig.. Very convenient but to hi fi sounding for...

    Windows 8 and RME Fireface 400

    Just learn how to use the new start menu , once you get used to it and use a few key commands ( windows key to switch to desktop, win+x to access device management and prefs) it becomes second nature. even though metro is kind of unnecessary for a desktop it doesn't seem to hamper performance...

    Line 6 DT, anyone tried it?

    Line 6 DT, anyone tried it?

    I have not used it at a band practice yet, but it seems like a very loud little amp ( 25 watter), through my recto 4x12 I would bet it could keep up with most bands...perfect club rig

    Line 6 DT, anyone tried it?

    I have the head, single 12 cab and pod hd 500.. amazing small rig that can pretty much do it all, the low volume mode is perfect for home jamming ( it knocks down the volume taper and uses modeled power section sims).. The preamp section is totally digital line 6 ... It also loves humbuckers...

    Which SDX(s) Should I Buy?

    the nashville ezx is probobly my favorite! All the music city samples were from the same sessions so that should be event better Chuck Ainley is a master and the sounds are definitley bigger and fatter than the metal packs... The toms are really great too!

    The Official Metal Month Thread

    It would be nice if toontrack did a prog rock ezx or sdx. Something with lots of cymbals, snares, roto toms..lol! Gavin Harrison, Mark Zonder, or even Portnoy Midi and hits would be nice. maybe recorded by Terry Brown or someone like that.

    suggestions for passive pickups on a mahogany body guitar

    I run the Duncan Custom in mahogany. Less mids than the jb and the ceramic magnet gives it a tighter bottom end.
