Ah the paranoia! I always get a bit of ground loop noise when playing at home but after swapping pickups on my strat recently I was convinced the noise was louder, checked with another guitar and was sure it was louder with that one too despite not having touched it. Even tried a different amp befor...

Quite a dramatic difference there! I'm sure for the right amp the tayden is a fine speaker but to my ears sounded pretty poor compared to the celestion and the wgs. I'm very happy with the V30's in my cabs and nothing I heard would make me want to change them. Interesting comparison.

Don't use the tc flashback X4 (have the regular flashback which is fine for me) but have had cause to take to the tc forum with a problem with their HOF mini pedal (not resolved, pedal returned), did notice however pages of comment, mostly negative about aspects of the X4 midi functions. Lots of fol...

Ah, the zone. . . .Yea I get there at times, mostly playing guitar but also while indulging other passions. Just the other night I got lost in the moment while making love to my beautiful wife, afterwards I couldn't believe that ten whole seconds had just disappeared.

Can you use one of these if you don't own an iPhone or iPad? As I understand it, you can use it for playing music from any Bluetooth device, and there are a range of sounds accessible with the on-board controls but to access the deeper editing functions and such like you need ios. They may have mad...

Good to read this review thanks. I looked at these and like the idea and looks. My 4yr old spilled juice on my hi-fi amp and I'm without a home stereo at the moment so considered this but I've never been very happy with line6 amp modelling sounds in the past. I would have been looking at the 75 but ...

Ahoy Swedish forum members ( or anyone else who may have been there), The wife and I have been discussing possible destinations for a wee city break and I have suggested Umea in northern Sweden, purely because it's the European city of culture 2014 of course. Any of you chaps been to see any of the ...

Yea, I'm not a huge fan. I sometimes use the line6 stuff for recording just because it's there but it's not hugely convincing (especially the 'citrus' model which is horrible) I do hear good things about the amplitube orange models and the fractal system and kempler profiling amp are meant to be pre...

Ha ha! Just went on for a look, nothing untoward happened for a while and I thought poor Mr bensnake was on something but then those unicorns started appearing! it is 1st April!

Really good review, thanks for that, makes me want a rockerverb quite badly! Some lovely gear you have there, have you done a review of the Suhr amp?

Like most of the folk above I prefer to stick to a tone I like live and just adapt it with a few pedals or by rolling off the volume knob to suit the song but I like to dabble a bit while recording and am pretty keen to try the fractal axe FXII, I hear great things about it. Also, I'm like many guit...

Was a fan of black country communion, not sure this will grab me quite as much but look forward to hearing the album. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=6vUay-lOjFk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Lots of orange behind Glenn Hughes and I'm now gassing even more for an SG (you guys on here...

Oh yea. I thought the crowd on the river plate DVD were bouncing but THIS is proper bouncing

Hi there, I'm afraid you're not going to get a nice reverb or delay sound with the gain up on the DT, any time based effect before the pre-amp sounds horrible with higher gain sounds. I use the fat channel as a dirty channel and keep the gain down on the tiny terror channel and just use reverb and d...

It's looking really good! Great to see the process from the beginning, look forward to seeing her completely finished. I'd love to have a go building one from scratch one day
