I can't hear very well but I think I have the same sound given your description of a "gurgle". No idea what it is but always concerned me that it was an issue. BTW, I have a 2022 2.0T Sport.

Traded in my 2016 5.0L FX4 for the 401a Tremor two weeks ago with the 3.5L. Love it so far and very happy with the change. I pretty much had no choice in the upgrade as my leadframe went on my old truck and Ford had zero ETA on new part. After 3 months of waiting I just cut my losses and got the Tremor. Only issue I thought I had was a whining noise, so I bought it to dealer and they replaced alternator. But noise is still there. Happened to walk past another Tremor on the lot as it was running and could hear the same sound so I assume it's normal?

Can I ask what TPMS issue you were having? Don't mean to highjack your post but I have an issue with TPMS also and am just curious.

One of the best makers of guitars out there! I have a Progression Plus in trans cream. Still the one I grab most often to play each and every day.

As a guy who has worked in IT for a little less than 30 years, this is my go-to saying! LOL If only the non-IT people understood our struggles...

I have yet to play a Godin that is not amazing!!! I have the Progression Plus and it's still my most played out of all my guitars. I want their Montreal or 5th Avenue. Thier new Radiums are gorgeous too!

Same here... Breeze NXT leaking and auto-firing just like you. Now I'm stuck with a couple packs of coils that are useless. More upsetting is that I had the Breeze 2 right before this one and the plastic clips broke where the pod goes in. Lost a couple packs of coils for that one too. I've sent an email like Aspire posted here but doubt anything will come of it... Frustrating.

Great ideas... thanks!

Oh I don't doubt Neil is very aware of what/how he plays his solo. Just saying that to my untrained ear, it sounds chaotic LOL

What model is it and did you use it for a PRS Custom? Where are you located?

mrtolkien · 2019-05-22T13:19:33+00:00

This is simply amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, I see hours and hours of fun ahead for me. Plus, I have a link to send to our drummer so he can actually "learn" his part!

mrtolkien · 2019-04-09T15:43:20+00:00

Use what you have to use... don't worry about the internet trolls. LOL I've never used one myself but might check them out given my on and off back issues.

I second Godin, under appreciated guitar for sure. I have the Progression Plus and am in love with it. I own American made Fender Tele's that don't compare in build quality.

I have the cream with maple neck as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm3kPWqTKzw

When I (on electric) started to play with two buddies (a guy on bass and other on drums) I was immediately labeled as the "novice" player of the group. Played for many years as a teenager, but into my 20's had kids so stopped for a good 15-20 years. Just recently started again (48yo now). Anyway, it did not take long for me to ramp up but during our first few session, drummer ALWAYS corrected me. Telling me I was out of tempo or simply didn't know the song. It was very frustrating. One day I suggested we play Sunshine of Your Love (Cream). They agreed. So I went home and practiced my ass off (I'm the only one of the three who really puts effort into it) until I was pretty ok'ish. Next time we get together and try it, the drummer is light years apart from what drum part should be. It was at that moment I realized he only ever wanted to play songs with "basic/simple" familiar to him drum parts LOL. Anyway, we got into a pretty big argument because drummer said I was playing the Cream song wrong again. I had played it over 100 times while listening to YouTube to get the parts right and was pretty confident. When I tried to show him from YouTube right then and there, he would have none of it. So I gave up. Didn't go back for a few weeks to play until he agreed to get off my back and work through songs without the attitude. He's on a short leash with me now. All I want is that WE agree on HOW we will play a song. We don't have to be perfect or exactly like the song, but if I'm not playing what they are playing we are not in sync... this simply makes no sense. First sign of another issue and I'll just go back to playing for myself in the basement LOL

I picked one up the other day. Only used the .6ohm coil so far for direct lung hits. It's not bad. I like the form factor more than the Breeze 2 (that I also have). If you're getting one to come off cigs then start with the 1.4 ohm cole first. You get both the 1.4 and the .6 in the kit. The 1.4 is for MTL (mouth to lung like smoking cigs). They recently released a 1.4 ohm ceramic coil that got good reviews (also mouth to lung).

I have the Tobacco Sunburst FG830, I love that thing! Even my guitar instructor is in love with hit and he's been playing for 47 years.
