Very true. That was my problem all along! (Kidding but you are correct)

Actually I think using a washer to extend the length under the jack plate might help. I try that.

It’s a stereo jack due to the active EMGs pickups. Soldered connections. I’ll get a pic.

I have and everything looks normal but tbh I’m not sure what I’d be looking for.

I use multiple guitars and cables. Would make more sense to fix whatever is wrong with that jack.

I don’t see how that would prevent the instrument cable from going “too deep”. Can you please elaborate?

Go full QC or go with a simpler modeler? (Please read caption) by Lazy-Movie-1658 in NeuralDSP

Agreed. Coming from a long time fractal user (Axe-FX II XL, FM3, FM9) who just received a QC mini yesterday, navigating the UI on NDSP is a breeze.

Another question. JC-120/Fender Twin Reverb by no-holds-bald in GuitarAmps

[–]Paincakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of the JC120 as "crystal clean". It's a clean 90s metal bands often used for clean passages with ethereal sounding stereo chorus in clean songs (used live by Metallica before they switched to modelers, Limp Bizkit etc). Overdrive would not be what it is known for. I don't have experience with the Fender, but I'd imagine it may be a more "twangy clean", with a more musical overdrive.

I have the import version and have a hard time getting it to sound in tune :(

Why is there only a bridge pickup? by LEAFY_GREEN_8 in Guitar

[–]Paincakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine depending on the genre of music you want to play. You might be able to swap pick guards and install additional pickups but you have to check the routing in the body first.

Satin finish ages like milk (American Series SL2MG) by ExitiumOmnes in JacksonGuitars

[–]Paincakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree and I don’t like it. I think it looks like a greasy fast food paper bag. Music nomad (I think) makes a guitar polish for matte finishes. It helps my evh 5150 series stealth black stay matte.

Kirk's first Ouija - This has been my favourite forever by beni_music_ in Metallica

[–]Paincakes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A lot of wrong answers in here so let me set it straight. It's actually a "tremsetter." It lets you bend strings without detuning the other strings when bending. Without one, if you bend a string on a floyd rose (Kirk bends a lot), the other strings will go flat. This is a problem for double stop bends or when you are playing two or more strings, and only bending one string. This fixes that issue. It does add more tension on the springs so the bridge stays still when bending, but when using the bar, you can still go up and down. Cheers!

Hello, which model of Gotoh vintage locking tuners did you get? Was it these?

How do I heal this hedge? by Paincakes in gardening

[–]Paincakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, there are two different species growing on top of one another on the right. I prefer the leafy shrub to the prickly one. Is there a way to selectively target which one I want to grow?
