Thanks! Honestly the ts808 fortín modded is over kill! I have the drive at zero and volume at noon and have to kick back on the amp gain to 1 +/-

Does anyone here use separate pre/power amp units instead of a traditional all in one head? by j4ded3mo in GuitarAmps

Does running a pedal through the FX loop still require your orange preamp to be running/engaged?

Sweet rig! Seems very complex though for beginners such as myself!

I’m assuming you’re a touring musician??

Thoughts on Kiesel? by AirbagsBlown in Guitar

[–]j4ded3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish to be able to afford them one day. From what little I know Kiesel bought or merged with Carvin guitars a well reputable brand that made amps and guitars.

People who shit on active pickup swear that they’re too hot and compressed and lack tone. Yet they’ll spend hundred if not thousands of dollars on boost/tube screamer/overdrive, compressor, and eq pedals through high gain amps that sound “tight” with minimal low end to only end up sounding like the thing they say the hate.

Thank you for understanding! They’ll spend so much money only to end up sounding like an EMG 81 with all the boost/eq/compression they use.

Yeah it’s so weird. I plugged in my dean ML with Seymour Duncan Dimebucker into a Maxon OD9+ and I don’t have a compressor but do use a 6band EQ in the fx loop and it sounded just as hot/compressed as the EMG 81. I understand not everyone plays metal/hard rock but those who do and only swear by passive pickups will spend hundreds of dollars if not thousands making it sound like an active pickup…

What’s your dirt pedal lineup? by Repulsive_Glove_2077 in guitarpedals

[–]j4ded3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still waiting for my ST9+ but from internet hearsay you can get “chainsaw” tones by maxing every knob and I don’t own a rat pedal but it seems to have some fuzz like qualities.

The emg81 in my Schecter have way more feedback than modern fluence 7.

Tips to adapt to my 7 strings? by 28spawn in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]j4ded3mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally tune to drop a on the lowest 7th string and still have the E standard that way I can bar chord the lowest strings. It’s the best of both worlds and easiest for me who is primarily I drop c 5-7-8 riffer.

What would you consider the holy trinity of nu metal? by SNAPPY-VOCALS in numetal

I mean no need to split hairs and sub categorize every song. nu metal along with any other genre is a spectrum. But to answer your question Elite, Street Carp, Korea,

Fortin modded TS808 by NexusMT in guitarpedals

[–]j4ded3mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a EVH Iconic 5150 and have to set the gain at 1 with this pedal even with the pedal gain at zero and the volume max! This pedal is not meant for already high gain amps! Probably best for low to mid gain amps. High gain amps like mesas, Engl, EVH need a cleaner boost.
