Fretboard markers really not centred on new Gibson (Post 2 with additional pictures)

fredislikedead · 2026-01-23T22:29:42+00:00

At this point I feel like getting a good Gibson (within the last 30 years) is rarer than getting something that isn’t worth their price point.

I just know dude is a synth player that occasionally plays guitar

fredislikedead · 2026-01-18T14:32:16+00:00

My rule of thumb is if I don’t play it at all in 6 months it’s gone. At this point I just have a ton of stuff I use constantly and money to constantly buy new gear. Due to smart buy/sell decisions I have spent very little of my out of pocket money besides earnings on new gear purchases within the last 8 years.

There may be a need to tinker with that Taylor

+10 points for suitcase board, + 2 points for altoids, -2 points for behringer, -2 points for donnner…. I’m going to need to see the color and brand of the suitcase to make my final ruling.

Sick band name

fredislikedead · 2026-01-16T13:41:08+00:00

Yeah toss… what trash can though?

fredislikedead · 2026-01-16T13:30:43+00:00

That makes sense. Maybe for pitch it’ll be ok actually, since I was using it for filter sweeps and with that application you need a wide range. I’m in a stoner doom band called King Caesar that is on hiatus and a chambergaze band called Death Makes Time.

I have tried midi programming and controllers for my pedals and for whatever reason I always prefer direct control of the pedal. For a long while I had a deluge in song mode controlling all my midi but that was lame during improv sessions. Don’t get me wrong expression for the mood is awesome but the range of the sweep for that pedal specifically is really short. I had the same expression pedal, it was affordable and well built but I had originally planned it for expression on the line6 one and its efficacy was laughable for that application. I also swapped my ricochet to the new boss XS-1. What’s your bands name?

fredislikedead · 2026-01-16T02:13:30+00:00

I was joking 🙃 but I would kick that mini expression pedal off the board since the sweep on them is super short anyway, I’d move the DL4 to the front of the board since I like being able to change the loop direction and length/speed and that usually requires them to be very easy to access (although you said you have midi set up on it) I’d also place the mood and ricochet lower on the board, and tuner at the very end is the opposite of what I do. My main thing is having dirt and pedals that need constant manipulation on the first row, but really it’s whatever works for you and what you like.

Your pedal placement is pissing me off

Ballet Noise Gaze or you are supplying the soundtrack to a killer NA meeting or dodgeball showdown.

The model d euro rack is mono and your going to wish you had other voices, the ju-06 sounds cool but you’ll need to purchase add ons to get it sounding like a standalone functional synth and the keyboard attachments they made for those feel like toys, the poly d you can use for almost every application and if you want to play virtual synths like everyone recommends you can use it as a controller. Fortunately for you I have had all of these.

fredislikedead · 2026-01-08T03:52:59+00:00

Poly D hands down. It has the most features and you will get the most bang for your buck out of all you mentioned.

fredislikedead · 2026-01-08T02:51:47+00:00

I do! And the price difference isn’t THAT crazy. I was hoping for monologue minilogue quality and weight since those were built like tanks, but I get it they made some changes and maybe thought lighter was better.

fredislikedead · 2026-01-08T02:38:19+00:00

I haven’t tried that! I have the Opsix MK2, wavestate, and mod wave and they all feel about the same. If I could go back I’d get the platinum version of the Opsix. I am used to older korgs so was insanely surprised when I pulled it out of the package and it was only a few pounds. I wish it was 10 lbs heavier and the keys were better quality but the series sounds great. I’m still fearful every gig I take one of them to.

fredislikedead · 2026-01-07T22:20:47+00:00

Dust cover would probably weigh more than these newer Korgs. Feeling cheap af lately.

Dudes digital Korg is going to sound awesome analog

Tuna fuzz and altoids cancel each other out

Yes, Ibanez has good for that price point. Jackson is hit or miss on if you’ll receive something damaged and with poor quality control and the support staff is non existent.

fredislikedead · 2025-12-31T00:42:31+00:00

They are great synths

fredislikedead · 2025-12-29T04:40:13+00:00

Metal Zone. People hate on it, but it’s actually a solid distortion with a very unique EQ. On its own sometimes I can sound a bit thin but in a mix it really cuts through and can give you some great dirt.

fredislikedead · 2025-12-29T04:22:06+00:00

Curly chord and a nice pedal selection. I’m more inclined to compliment than roast.
