I've got a Cort KX507MS (not the pale moon). While I really enjoy the guitar, my high string is consistently too quiet and often my hammer-ons will be completely choked out. I've tried raising the pickup on the treble side, but that didn't seem to help much. Is this an alignment issue because it's a multi-scale or a fishman issue or what? Any ideas for potential fixes?
I thought you guys would think this is funny. I'm between amps right now, so sitting atop the the 4x12 that i have loaded with Karnivores and LCFR-150s is the Marshall bluetooth speaker that I'm actually using to make guitar noises (from the headphone out of my audio interface). Kind of comical and humbling to have my rig boiled down to... well not much at all, but hey... at least it's Marshall, right? Right?!
Replacing the speakers in this acousic cab that I got for a steal ($80!). Of course it needs more love than just new speakers. What would you guys use to seal up that gap at the bottom?
Our example is the coupling bolts on our straightener. Imagine 2 rollers, one convex and the other concave stacked on top of each other and rotated slightly out of square to create maximum deflection. We use it to straighten our smaller diameter bars (3"-about 6"). Anyway, we learned the hard way that the coupling bolts on the load side of the u joints tend to stretch and shear so now we inspect them weekly and replace as necessary. Beats the hell out of changing the drive shaft or (worst case) the rolls.
Randall Rg3003H. I don't know the specific brands and models, but the rack has (from top to bottom) a tuner, patch bay, compressor/noise gate, and 2 channel 31 band EQ. The Acoustic 4x12 is new (to me), and I can't wait to swap out the speakers. I have band 1 of the eq in front of the amp amd channel 2 in the effects loop.
Has anyone paired the PandorA with the Ragnarok? Seems like a match made in heaven on paper, but i can't find any videos of it or anything... just curious if this is a reasonable solution for a bedroom level brutality. Thanks in advance!
I'll cut to the chase here, context in 2nd paragraph. Why do we bother with flats? It seems like sharps cover the entire diatonic scale. What's the point? I especially don't understand why you might call an enharmic by it's accidental (Cb instead of B).
​
I'm listening to a lesson about music theory and the guy is kind of going around his elbow to get to the circle of 5ths, but he makes the comment "that would be too many sharps (in reference to music normally referring to C# major as Db Major)". Why is it too many sharps? It seems like it would be easier if everything was either sharp or flat not one or the other based on some vague context that I have yet to piece together.

Context about me, I've been playing guitar (almost exclusively metal) for more than a decade, but I've recently decided to shore up some of the gaps in my foundational knowledge that were artifacts of being self taught. It has been... frustrating lol.
Been on the fence about getting some Milwaukee lawn stuff (the Home Depot bundle with the mower and modular trimmer). I think this is a sign lol.
So I'm trying to use my amp (mkI 100w) for double duty. Basically i want to use my power amp (effects return) for amp sim from my audio interface output, *and* use my usb (secondary Katana is what windows calls it) for stuff like music and metronome and stuff like that.
This works when I have the AI (audio interface) plugged into the input jack for the amp, but I'm concerned that the preamp is coloring my tone without me really noticing. As I write this, it occurs I could just A/B it until I have the preamp dialed to he as transparent as possible, but who has the time for that?!
I suspect that the signal chain is broken by jacking directly into the effects return, but if you see it differently or know of a workaround I haven't thought of, let me know. Thanks!
This is a slightly different take on the classic "which guitar should I get?" type of post. I kind of want to get a cheap guitar with "good bones" for the express purpose of changing out pickups, tuners, pots, etc... over time. To be more specific, I guess the thing that I don't have any interest in messing with is the neck/neck to body joint. I may or may not change the frets later one just to get that experience too, so stainless is not a deal breaker at all.
So what guitars have your favorite neck? What is your favorite body style to sit with in classical? What are some features you would look for in "good bones" of a metal guitar? How cheap can I realistically go if I don't care about the electronics? Is this just a bad idea all the way around?
ETA: I'm located in the US.
Also, this whole discussion make me want to check out my old First Act guitar. I think it was a ME636 or something similar. It was a piece of junk, but I held onto it for sentimental reasons. Maybe now that I've got more knowledge, I can make a little magic happen...
Has anyone swapped out their stock speakers for one of the Celestion FFR speakers? I'm basically only using the power amp in my Katana rn anyway so I'm thinking about changing the speakers for something flatter, but not sure if it's worth it.
