[Trending Gear This Week - T-Rex Binson Echorec Magnetic Disk Delay]( Sweetwater for the ultimate Floyd-ian mindbender? If so, the T-Rex Binson Echorec stands ready to deliver. The T-Rex Echorec is a masterful reinvention of the magnetic disk echo machine famously employed by Pink Floyd on — you guessed it — "Echoes," among other tracks in the band's legendary repertoire. It also provided the secret sauce to Hank Marvin's signature guitar tone. Even John Bonham used it to craft his cavernous, levee-breaking drum sound. [Read more]( Forum [Trending Gear]( [Read more](
[NUX MG-30 "Versatile Modeler"]( Darwinian · Nov 18, 2020 at 10:29 PM · Replies 1K It depends. If you don't have hot pickups and choose your gain with the ears instead of the eyes then it will not clip. What you then could get is more "travel way" on the gain knob - which is what one might strive for. Don't get me wrong turning the PreEQ -12dB and then just choosing a higher gain will work perfectly well - but IMHO it isn't the perfect solution for anything...

Latest: I wanted to explore shredders and 7 strings, so I decided on mid-range Ibanez and Jackson imports. I tried shredders because they are easier for me to play and I like going against age expectations. As I discovered I loved 7 strings, I got a few up scale instruments...

["This Is Not My Beautiful Rig!"]( megatonic · Apr 13, 2023 at 7:52 AM · Replies 26 Ok, Sometimes I'll sit down with my guitar rig and can get lost in a tangeant of creativity. But then, sometimes I can sit down with it and it just seems like I can's dial in a decent tone. Might be my physiological state, or the barometric pressure, or maybe the phase of the moon?

[EVH 5150 Iconic]( RFire · Jul 6, 2021 at 3:38 PM · Replies 544 You obviously haven't used it in a band, either that or you don't know how to dial it. The 1x12 version i had could blow the roof off, thing goes LOUD. People get so caught up with "cutting in the mix" like it's this elusive, magic thing. It's not. Anything can cut, provided it can push enough decibels, and provided it is EQ'd properly relative to the band... Forum [Amps and Cabs]( [Read more](

[How do the high end Taylors stack up…]( astralpen · Jan 19, 2022 at 8:30 PM · Replies 129 Taylor is great at being Taylor. I like them and own a couple, but if you want to go to the high end I find more value in other brands. Huss and Dalton is my dollar for dollar favorite. I've played 10 of them and every single one was great. Lots more quality variation in Taylor. I've played Taylor 712 that was a dog with bad intonation. Also don't run past Larrivee. They are...

[Guitars with no tone control?]( Johnny Cache · Apr 13, 2023 at 3:34 PM · Replies 80 A friend picked up a single pickup guitar last month and asked me if I could put a tone control on it. Sure, I can do that. But it got me wondering why would companies make a guitar with no tone control? Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more](
