Well I don't have a usb or a firewire box yet. Im just looking for a simple and free way to record until I can save up some cash. I'm just using a boss GE-7 equalizer to amp my signal before running into the computer. I adjust to line-level while watching in cakewalk. Seems to be ok for now...

Wow, this has been really informative. I never really knew any of those players played bolt-on necks and I DEFINATELY didn't know any 'good' players prefer'd bolt ons! This is crazy, lol. I guess where I'm from they just aren't popular. A lot of the locals down bolt-ons and such. I try to...

Wow, i really would have thought someone on here has played this before. Must not be that popular i guess. Nonetheless, I love the guitar without a doubt. Anyways. . . Now this has gotten me really thinking about pickups. This is the first guitar I've not put pickups in, in a lOnG time...

this has been quite insightful. I've just always prefered set-in necks because I associated bolt-on necks with cheaply made guitars. I've never played a bolt-on les paul, lol. (someone here said they had) Anyways, when I my friend told me he liked bolt-ons better I had to come here to get...

A friend of mine told me he prefers Bolt on necks so I figured I'd do a poll on the boogie board, which do you prefer and why?

Okay does anyone on here play one of these? I just wondered what you guys thought about it. I have played mine for about 2 1/2 years now and I really like it. You don't see this kind of craftmanship at these prices. The Gibralter 3 bridge has always been one my fav's b/c of the simplicity...

Well growing up playing guitar I always bought Ernie ball because they were fairly cheap. Then I started using elixirs because of the life of the strings. THen all of the sudden( i think I got a bad couple packs or something) I snapped two low E's in a row changing my strings during the first...

I'm actually a little surprised as well. Tool is my favorite band hands down. It's not even a hard pick for me, I've listened to tool for almost 15 years, lol. Now 2nd-4th is kinda hard to say for me and it pretty much changes from monday to friday. IMHO tool is like the fine wine of the...

Well, guess noone has been in this position, lol. Anyways, when I do go buy something, would I be better off getting a mic preamp to mic my amp or maybe a direct box for my computer--OR--getting a little 4 channel mixer/recorder? I don't have much experience with recording so any input will be...

Aight, basically I havne't recorded myself playing guitar in a long while. I'm finally out of college and I've been getting back into music more seriously this summer. My only recording experience has been on a few video cameras and back when I was in high schoool i had a 20 year old 4 track...

Slayer is a great band and it was hard to get this list. I didnt want it a mile long and the 9th and 10th spots were up for grabs by about 6-7 different bands. I myself Voted Tool as well! Nice to see Tool lovers here, i'm always in search of their sweet tone on my rig. As far as the "None...

Aight, first I realize there could be a list of at least 20 bands up here if not more but I'm makin the post and I'm pretty much limiting it to my personal top ten favorite bands, lol. I know rather subjective eh? This doesn't have to be who you think contributed the msot to guitar but just...

I'd use one pedal at a time b/c it could just be a single pedal is the culprit and the others work fine. Just a guess.

Well I have the Express 5:25 with the 10" speaker and it's great for bedroom play. This is also my first tube amp and I love it. I've never really been able to afford something in this range before and let me tell ya I read review after review, played played and played some more. Brought my...

Thanks a lot bro, ima go check it out.

btw it just hit me but exactly what amp are you using? Does it have a serial effects loop or a parallel? Digital processors like your flanger sometimes really screw with your sound in parallel due to a lag in the signal when they merge back together or something like that. Anywho check what...

Basically the only things you have their I would personally considre putting into the loop are the chorus and flanger. Distortion/OD pedals almost always sound better in front of the amp and more often than not have unwanted effects in the loop. I myself have lurked around here quite a bit...

I've never used the muff but I own the Boss Metal Core. Was my staple pedal until I bought the 5:25. It's a really hardcore new age metal sound and is probably what you're looking for. I still use it in the clean channel of the Express. Recently however I've been using a boss GE-7 eq to dial...

Well it's really just according to what you're wanting to sound like. OD is great for cleaner stuff. A lot of people like that old metallica 'clean' distortion with hetfields heavy chug,lol. I myself like the tone but am trying to find a more modern heavy sound. I have never owned a TS-9...

Well I have the 5:25 and it takes some playing around to get the right tone if you want heavy. One thing I notice a lot of hard/heavy players do when they first turn on the amp is leave the masterV low and crank the gain. Well this being my first tube amp I was doing that in the beginning but...
