https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SnVySSFRSRBL--schecter-sun-valley-super-shredder-with-floyd-rose-and-sustaniac-riviera-blue There's an $800 version with a sustaniac holy gently caress that's awesome. I'd love to play one and see how the new line feels, previous shecter's I've tried have always kinda just been OK but nothing special. Maybe I'm a brand whore, IDK.

The headstock always does seem to be a sticking point for Fender clones. I've seen plenty of 3+3s that look perfectly OK on LP clones but the Fender ones always end up looking weird and deformed.

Yeah the headstock is kinda crap but there's a whole lot of specs that are just really good for that money, and I've been GASing for a maple fretboarded shredder thing hard. Only problem is I'd have to hope the guitar center down in harrisburg has one in order to get a feel for the whole neck profile situation, or else just take Sweetwater up on their evidently pretty easy returns.

I kinda like the ESP "strat" headstock on their Telecaster clone (TE) more than I like the Telecaster headstock, at least in natural wood color. Although I think they modified it recently to look more "hook-like"

I just watched this. It’s long. 54 minutes. But if you are in the mood to hear an extremely good interview with Paul Gilbert I highly recommend it. The guy is such a genuine musician and the interview is full of very great points that reminded me of why I love playing so much.

I replaced the four EL84 power tubes on my Peavey Classic 30. It sounds exactly the same. The hum it gives off sounds like a higher pitch, most likely 120 Hz. Doing some research it sounds like this is probably the input filter capacitor. Which unfortunately is a bitch and a half to replace in this amp. Especially for someone with little to no experience with soldering amps. The amp is 3 PCB's attached in a U shape held together with small angle brackets. Additionally, all of the large capacitors are hot glued to the PCB in addition to being soldered to the board. It suggested you replace all those caps at once and the parts are less than $50, but I would guess the labor is gonna cost me $200+, which kinda sucks. I am taking it in to an amp tech tomorrow. He said he would give me a free estimate, so hopefully he has better news. If it costs too much, I might either try to fix it on my own just to mess around or sell it for cheap on craiglist to someone who enjoys tinkering on amps. But I am getting a little ahead of myself.

Axe Fx seems really nice if you're a touring musician and that's the only application I can see it being useful.

It's loving awesome when you gotta use headphones. There is literally nothing that sounds as good when you live in high density housing. It's also pro as gently caress when you want to play another instrument and have the ridiculous effect chains or when you want to play around in your DAW and reamp your dry signals and have fun with tweaking knobs.

Best of both worlds is a Torpedo Live or something similar where you can do the amp out into a combination loadbox/speaker sim. Crank a 5150 or JCM 800 at 1 in the morning in an apartment without bothering the neighbors? Delightful.

it'll never be the same as a head cranked to where your pants are flapping in the breeze from the speakers but amp->loadbox->speaker sim is about 95% of the way there

And cymbals at ear level, small practice spaces with block walls, and horn sections. Wear earpro, kids.

Yep, load box and/or XLR-out into a little mixer with headphones from a valve amp are much much more preferable IMO. In 20 years time your JCM800 is going to be worth the same as you bought it, in 20 years your AxeFX ig going to be in the dump. I'm not just talking about financial value, but artistic/aural/etc. too. EDIT: to clarify, each to their own - but by nature guitar is now a quaint anachronism and not at all relevant in modern mainstream music, and as such find the fetishisation of technology in that space as equally bad as historic-reissue-58-with-period-plastics blueslawyers.

Speaking of load boxes has anyone tried the Torpedo Captor? Seriously considering one to record my head with because I just don't have an environment I can turn it up loud enough to hit the sweet spot.

The only real advantage unless someone has money to burn with a Kemper, AxeFX or other high end modeler is versatility for studio work, or wanting actual accurate amp sounds in a home studio where you have to be quiet. I was looking at all of them and got a Fender Mustang GT100. Sure it isn’t as high quality of a replication as the other expensive profilers but it nails the Fender clean sound, is light and when I rarely need effects they are all convincing enough playing live in theater/musical gigs. This is a a jazz guy though unless it’s a musical or some other random freelance thing. And if I were just playing in my home I would totally be fine using the GT40 or whatever the lowest wattage version is. They are very cool technology but beyond playing with it I just wouldn’t get much more past the GT the way I would use it and I imagine that’s the case for the majority of guitarists out there unless people just want a high quality expensive toy to tinker with (which is great if that’s the case)

This guitar must've had 9s on it when I got it because the spring tension was way too low for 10s. I ended up tuning it a step down because I don't have any extra springs to put in it and I was worried about running out of adjustment travel for the claw. Then I was stuck in "tune over and over because tuning one string fucks up all the others" hell for a while. Everything seems to be OK now though, aside from my guitar being in D. Time to learn a lot of Mastodon and Death songs, I guess.
