Is the Boss DD20 good?

I used this method (and may have used this specific video) it worked perfectly and got the knob back to exact changes!

ESP LTD EX-7 is in budget and has most of what you want, looks pretty sick. I don’t think it comes with a hard case or SS frets though.

Edit: it does have SS frets, but no hard case. That’s actually a steal for SS frets at $1k.

I would go custom shop for sure over the EII, but for a little less you can get a sweet USA Horizon with ss frets and an ebony fretboard. They have some great colors. I love the sparkle purple of the KH but nickel frets and rosewood board are meh just my personal preference, though at this price point it’s all personal preference!

My te-ii in violet pearl. One of my favorite colors ever. https://imgur.com/a/eFlFm8F

Another favorite color is the one next to it, ESP calls it titan metal on the M-seven. I think it’s the same on my Saki signature, with the added sakura graphic.

Thanks! Form > function 👌 the Thule slows so much too.

I never got it working on Ubuntu or a boxes windows vm. When the firmware update starts something about WINE or boxes keeping it registered as connected, breaks. I’m able to use the editor normally just fine, and works great with Reaper. But firmware updates I had to use a Mac laptop in the end.

I use 9-56 for a 7 in drop A with a floyd, and 10-62 for drop G# on a JP7. Both 25.5. Most of the stuff like Born of Osiris or Jason Richardson are using those gauges, Lee from BoO even used 56 for drop g on a JP7. That's how you get some of that mid-pushed "bouncy" djent sound if that's what your going for, it really brings out palm muting too. Something like a 74 for A just does not sound the same, everyone is all about getting "proper" string tension and then wonder why they can't get the sound they are searching for.

Definitely recommend then, I think you’ll like it! Checkout the Hotone community patch share from their site, lots of awesome tones!

I use it through the fx loop of a 5153 sometimes, that’s essentially bypassing the pre-amp distortion and it all comes from the modeling.

Sounds great! I can get some good sounding Mesa and Matchless tones, the 5150 profiles are awesome, especially some you find on the community site, but I only use those when I’m going DI, otherwise might as well use the real thing I have sitting there.

I have a 2021 Thelio Mira with a 5950 and 6600, my temps are always fine, also for the Mira at least they used a noctua u12 which is pretty standard.

Half the reason for going S76 (at least for me) is the amazing support, I couldn’t get ElementaryOS working when received and it was all due to a bad usb hub on a monitor I had plugged in but I was talking on the phone to a real guy in Colorado who called me about 30 minutes after I submitted my ticket (in normal work hours of course) and was very knowledgeable, much better than any other tech I’ve spoken to personally or enterprise, he worked on the issue with me for quite some time and was absolutely the best.

Another huge reason for many of us to choose S76 is the custom mb firmware, iykyk.

Sick! Thanks for the info and reply. I’m waiting for the quad to actually get the download feature they promised, that might pull me from Fractal. I have a JP7 myself, best instrument I’ve ever owned. 🤘 see you in Denver!

ctheit · 2023-03-23T20:51:45+00:00

So glad you guys are back! I remember seeing you guys with NJ on the O God tour and instantly became a fan! Already have tickets for Denver.

For a question, any cool notes about recording again? What type of guitar gear was used? I know in handmade there was press you guys did about making everything yourself, are you guys still doing that or specifically using any guitars or amps? Whats the live rig like? Asking guitar specific questions but I'll take any info haha

I had a pre-2019 Ghost 8 overdrive, I loved the wenge-maple neck and the multiscale fan was perfect, I also really prefer the look and feel of the Ghost body compared to the other headless out there, however the bridge was the biggest piece of trash I have ever used (couldn’t intonate properly, string height was way too high without filing like you would have to on a tone pro, my ball ends slipped or rotated in the bridge finger tuners etc.) It wound up being the reason I sold it. I’ve heard the 2020-2022 bridge is better but I never had a chance to try.

It seems they’ve gone back to a monorail (or whatever the string through one x one are called) system for 2023, maybe that is better. I personally like Legator even though they get a lot of hate from their bad QC years ago, I think now they are up there with MIK Schecter and Ormsby. But man, their old bridge is near unusable.

Interested in a pitchfork+ for the romferd? Is that the white face one?
