    What guitar do you play?

    Got too many guitars to get them all in one photo, or to make a list. My pedalboard built March-April this year however (first one ever), is very simple and I'm super-pleased with how it turned out. Korg Pitchblack > Cry Baby > BOSS CS-3 > BOSS LS-2 A(BOSS BF-3) B(BOSS SD-1 > BOSS DS-1) > BOSS...

    Guitar Pedals

    All effects have their place. I'm mostly chasing 80's sounds anyway. Reverb is nice to have playing by yourself, but in a live setting delay wins everytime as it can be controlled more.

    Guitar Pedals

    Bought some pedals and a Pedaltrain Classic 2. Current board is Korg Pitchblack > Dunlop GCB-95 > BOSS CS-3 > BOSS SD-1 > BOSS DS-1 > BOSS BF-3 > BOSS DD-3T. All powered by a Cioks DC-7. Lots of space left and got a BOSS LS-2 on the shelf, so I'm considering making it two channels with a boost...

    Best New Music - 2022 edition

    New single from Crashdïet taken from their upcoming album Automaton out 29 April. Together with the lead single No Man's Land (posted here previously) this is shaping up to be a very strong release. I like... everything about this. Having seen this incarnation of the band live, Gabriel Keyes is...

    Best New Music - 2022 edition

    Hardcore Superstar released Abrakadabra last Friday, 25 March. Fantastic record - their absolute best in 12 years. I have still gone to their concerts, but C'mon Take on Me (2013), HCSS (2015) and You Can't Kill My Rock n Roll (2018) place at the bottom of the catalogue for me. You have to go...

    guitar pickup problem (humbucker in bridge position), help needed

    Got the Super Distortion in a Kurt Cobain Jaguar and my brother has the old Dave Murray sig. I don't think a pickup would make that much of difference, honestly. Try amp and effects first. But I agree about marketing in the business in general. What they actually play... You could write...

    guitar pickup problem (humbucker in bridge position), help needed

    Good choice and certainly different than a Super Distortion. I haven't found any other pickup I like as much as the JB Jr. Rolls off super well in my American Standard Strat and also works perfect for a Maiden sound (Janick Gers uses them in all his Strats).

    guitar pickup problem (humbucker in bridge position), help needed

    Yeah! The JB Jr is a technically totally unrelated pickup (Alnico V vs ceramic rail magnet) in single coil format meant to replicate the sound of the full size JB. Which it does, really well, but to me it sounds even better.

    guitar pickup problem (humbucker in bridge position), help needed

    Sure the pickup is not wired wrong? Sounds like a weird decription of the Super Distortion to me. I like it, but I prefer a JB (or even better actually, a JB Jr which has all the tone but more focused).

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I am very worried about the situation of course. Growing up during the 00's, Russia invading was a joke in Sweden. As for the Swedish situation we have tried to have the cake and eat it diplomatically for years. "Neutral." This country has been at war enough through history, I agree, but we'll...

    Ghost

    Don't think so. Seven Inches of Satanic Panic is clearly a stand-alone single consisting of "Kiss the Go-Goat" and "Mary on a Cross". As a casual fan, "Square Hammer" and those two songs are my most played by Ghost.

    Guitar Pedals

    Yeah, I've got that using several overdrives on top of each other (at a lower setting) can work just as well as stacking compressors for a more complex and nicer sound. The Wah I have is a VOX V847... Supposed to be good, but low sweep range and a rather mellow tone are drawbacks (a Crybaby is...

    HammerFall

    I have listened a bit to Hammerfall in the past. I think what it always comes down to is that the music is so similar and simple all the time harmonically that it just gets grating for me. They're doing the power metal thing spectaculary well, and Joacim Cans is a great singer who always sounds...

    Guitar Pedals

    I'm pretty much the opposite of this - I don't like a dry tone at all, but I'm thinking tuner, overdrive, delay and boost for my own board... And maybe a comp-pedal for cleans. Might want a Flanger as well... And a distortion for when I play with a borrowed amp. And of course a wah I'll never...

    Crashdïet are rumoured to release a new album in 2022. No set date yet, but the first single (released late 2021) sounds awesome.

    A Spotify And General Streaming Discussion

    Spotify have vastly underestimated the need to moderate their platform, and they are going to take a hit from this. How big that hit is going to be depends a lot on how they handle it going forward. On the contrary, as soon as they got into the podcast business they need set rules for what to...

    NOW WATCHING

    I am. It should never have been made. Episode 5 & 6 have been great, the first four were okay at best. Now with all the crossovers you are going to have to watch everything even if you only care about The Mandalorian.

    NOW WATCHING

    Watched Rogue One (2016). The only Disney Star Wars-film I think is genuinely great. This is what the Episodes should have felt and looked like.
