    Overdrive pedal question ( --> overtone boost needed)

    Hi everyone, maybe one of you can help me. Can someone recommend me an overdrive pedal that boosts the natural overtones of the guitar tone? I am looking for such a component to the texture of my sound, and such a pedal doesn't necessarily have to bring a lot of gain to the sound, a low gain...

    One thing that I don't understand (reunion vs. 1980s & early 90s)

    Does anyone have a plausible explanation for why the classic twin guitar harmonies were and are completely being neglected almost throughout the entire reunion era? I mean, it used to be a trademark for Maiden ever since, perhaps THE trademark. Thinking of The Clairvoyant, Aces High, The Trooper...

    Every now & then it's getting stated that the inner circle of the Maiden headquarters is represented here in this forum, too. So, which fellow users here would you suppose to most likely being a spy from the Maiden admin towers? :cheers:

    Which album do you prefer: The Book Of Souls or Senjutsu?

    I have to admit Senjutsu had been a grower for me and I can finally enjoy it in big parts nowadays, but still I like TBOS better. Seems somehow a more coherent album to me and it has more outstanding moments than Senjutsu does have. The only weak moment of the album for me is the Polka intro to...

    Songs that never really worked well live

    Are there any songs you'd consider 'problematic' when played live? Those ones that come to my mind immediately are Rainmaker and Stratego = definitely great each in their studio versions, but live Bruce was obviously struggling, and they came nowhere even near to the studio versions. Just a very...

    1984/85 bootleg question

    Most of the World Slavery bootlegs that I heard yet aren't of a good sound quality, and I wonder if there are actually soundboard recordings existing. What are the best quality recordings from 1984/85? (Except for Rock In Rio) And are there any videos existing? I don't know any. Well, except for...

    Maiden songs you find rather boring

    Are there any Maiden songs you'd consider boring, and if so, which are these? I personally think The Trooper is utterly boring, and not only because it's overplayed. Lost In A Lost World also does not impress me at all and would be a very boring song - if there wasn't the slow outro (which by...

    Live After Death anniversary vinyl

    Will you get it or not? I probably will, main reason is the bad quality cover print of the regular LAD vinyl. I hope they improved the printing this time without cutting lots of the edges off.

    PC question/advice needed (security concept & anti virus software help please)

    What do you folks out there think of the Win11 internal Defender software as the main choice in terms of virus protection (and malware, spyware etc.) on a PC of private use? Or will I be better off using some external software like Bit Defender, Norton, G Data, McAfee or whatever? I am NOT...

    Days Of Future Past vs. The Time Machine

    Revisiting the Senjutsu album, I have to admit I start to enjoy it the one or other way. Never thought this was gonna happen. The two songs from the mid-album, DOFP and TTM, in particular. Both great tracks. Which of them both do you like better?

    Cathedral

    Anybody else here who likes Cathedral (Coventry/UK)? Actually I heard of them for the first time around 1992 when they were doom metal orientated, then forgot them for years - but now revisited some of their stuff and I must say I really like them. Liked them in 1992 already, but their later...
