[Trending Gear This Week - Marshall ORI20C Origin Combo Amp]( Sweetwater · Dec 2, 2022 at 12:00 AM · Replies 50 with a generous complement of tubes, the Origin ORI20C exhibits vintage-inspired Marshall tone. This amp is powerful in its simplicity. Dial in the Gain and Master controls to get the right amount of crunch, then shape your tone with the Presence knob and the 3-band EQ. A unique Tilt control blends bright and normal sounds, while switchable power enables high-output sounds at any volume. The Origin ORI20C is a no-frills gateway to classic Marshall tone...

[Van Halen live]( twoheadedboy · Dec 2, 2022 at 1:10 AM · Replies 48 Van Halen never struck me as a great live band. At least, their live performances seemed uneven - often sloppy, boozy, and druggy, and often overshadowed by their studio work. I saw them on the 2004 tour, and they were crap. However, once in a while, I come across a video where everybody seems... Forum [The Sound Hound Lounge]( [Read more](
[Klon Klone Diodes -- D9E, 1N34A, Bat41, etc. Which is prefered?]( SpaceD_0ut_Ace · Nov 30, 2022 at 4:28 PM · Replies 29 It seems that there are a few different diodes used in klones of the Klon Centaur. D9E seems to be commonly used, though apparently Bill said the 1N34A is the correct diode. Meanwhile, apparently the ARC uses the Bat41 diode and I'm sure there are others as well. That said, which diode does... Forum [Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things]( [Read more](
[Headless guitars]( Springfieldscooter · Jun 5, 2022 at 4:09 PM · Replies 428 Headless guitars, they seem to be all the rage at this year's NAMM. Not really my cup of tea, but to each their own. They were popular for a moment in the 1980's as I recall. Personally, I've played for 45 years, and have never owned one. Are there any headless guitar owners here? Anyone 100%...

[Berkley, Mel Bay or Hal Leonard: Best method to teach myself to read music]( Jchrisf · Dec 1, 2022 at 12:33 PM · Replies 31 What is the best method to teach myself to read music? One of the three in the thread title or something else? I was looking at the books yesterday and the one thing I didn't like about Leavitt's book was it didn't really explain which chords you were playing. I do like how it slowly builds you up to them though.. where as, the other two introduce you to the full chord right off and you... Forum [Playing and Technique]( [Read more](
[PRS quoted two years for a guitar order]( Krausewitz · Dec 1, 2022 at 7:24 PM · Replies 115 I just asked for a price check on a special semihollow and was told the wait time is two years (!). Does this seem reasonable to you? I was absolutely stunned. Why not just hire more staff at that point? Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more](
[What's Your Favorite PRS?]( Alse1829 · Dec 26, 2020 at 8:57 PM · Replies 329 I usually like one of my S2’s. A singlecut semi-hollow, Custom 24 Standard, or my Custom Semi-hollow all with the chip easy finish. Also like my only SE which is a 245. It did not come with the chip easy finish. Can’t say that I have a favorite at this time. They all play well and feel great to hold. Could not say that for the Core’s that I sold off. Would not mind owning a beat up DGT or Studio. Only way I will afford one. Did I mention I am tight... Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more](
[How long will Pro Tools remain the 'industry standard'?]( nksoloproject · Nov 30, 2022 at 7:25 AM · Replies 54 I'm looking at learning Pro Tools for valuable experience since it's regarded as the 'industry standard' DAW used by the pros / in top studios etc. Despite this, many sources I've read say that Pro Tools is a bit dated in comparison to other DAWs these days. I'm wondering how long it'll be... Forum [Recording/Live Sound]( [Read more](
[When is Vintage]( Adaptandovercome · Nov 25, 2022 at 7:05 AM · Replies 15 Is there a time frame when a guitar reaches its full potential? When does it mature and become vintage?

[Good rackmount noise gate for high gain guitar?]( BlackOut8910 · Nov 22, 2022 at 3:22 PM · Replies 16 Anyone used a noise supressor with two linked channels, one between the guitar and the amp, and that channel "latching" a second gate in the effects loop? WOuld prefer to use something rack mounted, as I already have a rack mount tuner and a multi-effects/preamp. Also on a budget but who... Forum [The Rack Space]( [Read more](
[Fender AB763 RobRob NFB Mod]( BSG · Nov 30, 2022 at 8:04 PM · Replies 8 I completed the hand wired conversion of my '65 DRRI to a black panel. I got it running, biased and working then I started implementing some of Rob Robinette's mods. I have re-voiced the normal channel and added reverb to it. Tested it again and all's well.
