Not really. It's like using 9-42 on a Les Paul or SG which I do all the time. My Yamaha SG (24,75") came with 9-42 from the factory. I don't downtune with that though, but it works fine in standard tuning on a Strat. Have tried 10-46 on a Strat downtuned but I don't really see the point. It...

Yes, they might put a custom set on a guitar like that. But is a non standard set.

9-42 has been the standard set on 25,5'' guitars since forever. Fender has used that for at the least 20 years on all their modern guitars. For vintage spec series it has been 10-46. You will find all Fenders which are not vintage spec at 25,5'' ship with 9-42, like this American Professional...

Unusual? That's they way Fenders are always strung from factory... Everyone plays 9-42.

Somewhere Back in Time Tour, Ullevi Gothenburg, Sweden 2008. Watched the 2005 show broadcast on national TV. Next show at Ullevi and all the other since, I was there. Was 15 in 2008. My brother, @TheTalisman here, gave you a decent recap earlier in the thread.

Watched Top Gun: Maverick (2022) for the second in cinema. That's a first for me, and while I just tagged along my family - it was worth it. Such a great film, almost perfect for what it is and well worth all the success it has had. A first class film and a lesson in how to do a legacy sequel...

Build quality on cabs is an interesting subject... When I gigged with my band I wanted an ENGL amp and cab. Thing is, the Marshall 412 1960 with greenbacks everyone is seemingly using is somewhere around 36 kg. It's sturdy as hell! Matching ENGL cab was 50 kg. Steel grill in front of the...

Watched Split (2016) and Glass (2019) by M. Night Shyamalan, continuing the story from Unbreakable (2000). Did not expect to enjoy them, even though I really liked Unbreakable when I was younger. But I really did.

Not tried it, no. About amps, all your favourite tones from back in the days were done by boosting a lower gain amp because higher gain amps didn't really exist. People modded their Marshalls for extra gain stages. Or ran a tubescreamer in front. As for recommendations, I'm very happy with my...

No, staying away from EHX due to their good sound/bad build-reputation. Micro Amp is great! Using it as a solo boost. With all the distortion coming from the pedals there is so much headroom left on the amp that I get massive volume boost by engaging it. (Running it into an already distorted...

I've tried/own all of those except for the Rat. Friedman BE-OD amp in a box type of pedal meant to run into a super-clean channel and replace the amps own distortion. More modern concept, doesn't stack well with other pedals. Despite the OD in the name this is a proper modern distortion pedal...

Great show yesterday at Ullevi! A few thoughts... Heard people saying (and most reviews also agreed) that the start of the concert was disappointing due to infamiliar new material. I disagree strongly. Hearing new material is the reason I want to go. Solution: Make an effort and listen to the...

Just want to add a few things to the discussion. 1) Yes, order of effects has a few starting rules which @Dick Brucinson pointed out, but there are no hard rules. Often you will find players running phaser like a filter effect before dirt. I use mine like that and it's set way low, so that the...

Well here it is. Should note the Distortion + is only temporarily taking the place of my Boss DS-1 to try it out, until I say otherwise. ;)

Watched Top Gun Maverick at the pictures. Late to the party and have been waiting for this film since what feels like forever. It was supposed to premier 2 years ago... It didn't work out to see it earlier, had too much stuff going on. But all in all a great sequel which I can't imagine would...

Homeland. Yeah, I rewatched all of it. I'm on vacation, shoot me. Ups and downs, but such a great series. At its worst, it's just another version of 24, but when not it is a great character drama. I appreciate it even more now when I know how it ends.

One Desire - "Never Gonna Stop" New single from this Finnish band whom I first encountered at a festival in Stockholm. Modern melodic rock whose main draw is vocalist André Linman, a Swedish speaking Finn who also plays great guitar solos. For me, this band could be his solo show. He was in a...

Watched Homeland season 6, 7 & 8. Great series, season after season. I'm happy to say, the finale is peak Homeland and damn fine.

Watched Stranger Things Season Four, Vol. 1. A solid step up in storytelling and quality. Whereas season two and three were good this is on another level. Best one yet. Also watched Kenobi Ep. 4. While I wasn't crazy about the first three episodes, they are good. This was a serious drop in...

Yes Kenobi is good. Can't wait to see the rest of it. Watching Stranger Things while I'm waiting.
