Zoom H6 Handy Recorder Product Demo
Zoom H6 Handy Recorder I'm bumping back up some of my posts for those who haven't looked and don't want to dig. And just for some of the gear that I think is cool. Since we're coming into Christmas and things are slowing down (except for my watch that seems to be speeding up). Here is a quick discussion I had at Summer Namm at the Zoom booth about their H6 Handy Recorder. I personally own a pair of H2's and they have been work horses for me. They can take a super high spl level so if my band [...]
EVH 5150 III 50 Watt Fender Head Demo And Short Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jmArDoU9SM So I borrowed a buddies EVH 5150 III 50 Watt head a couple of weeks ago. I was excited, as a former original 5150 and 6505+ owner, I knew what I was getting into and pretty much expected it to be a variation of some of the same. I expected a mid-rangy tight sounding decent head. Think Soldano which if i'm not mistaken the earlier Peavey 5150's were modeled around a Soldano. (PS I freaking love Soldano) Now being that this is a Fender product, I was interested for a few reasons. Mostly, they're not known for high gain [...]
1964 Ears In Ear Monitor Review
Soooo.... I needed some In Ear Monitors for my band. Rock N’ Roll Supergroup MySelfishMe if you’re not one of the 280ish lucky Facebook friends we have at the time of writing this post. The need to move to them was piloted by our desire to dump our cabs and make our rig lighter as well as move our band to a click. The big picture for us is eventual light automation, and such synced with our show. As you can imagine, going to something like this from just cab’s screaming up your arse is not only a bit of a [...]
Yamaha Stagepas 600i/400i Summer Namm Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXdsOq7pg_8 Yamaha Stagepas 600i What's happenin Zombies?? It's been a bit since I've been able to post but I'm back here with a ton of cool stuff after returning from Summer Namm 2013 In Nashville. My first post comes from the Yamaha booth who always has great equipment. Here we checked out the Stagepass 600i personal PA. For starters this thing is KILLER. They demoed this for me while I was there and it is loud and clear. And in a small package that one man shows would love and 2 man shows would probably feel like they're cheating. The [...]
Fractal Audio Axe Fx 2 High Gain Demo Diezel VH4 Das Metall Ibanez RG Giger Demo
Fractal Audio Axe Fx 2 High Gain Demo Diezel VH4 Das Metall Ibanez RG Giger Demo So I'm starting a series for YouTube and this is going to be my first installment. I want to record all of the high gain amp models on my Axe Fx 2. Maybe I will expand to all models, I don't really know yet. Something I would like to do but the net doesn't seem to care about anything other than high gain which is too bad. I'm not going to be scientific about it, because lets face it, what you would do and [...]
Richie Allan Is The Bomb
I'm a guitar fan in general. And people that go above and beyond. I hope at some point someone looks at my body of work and says "holy balls" Well this dude is my Holy Balls post . Sorry I've been away for so long. Times is hard!! But check out Richie Allan, this dude has his shit together. I love the fact that he's playing low and melodic at the same time. Some pull it off some suck at it. This dude is the bomb..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmZhjwOamY0
Layne Staley’s Mom Sues Alice in Chains
According to an article in seattlepi.com, Layne Staley's mother Nancy McCallum says Alice in Chains owe her half of the money due to Staley (roughly 16% of the bands income). According to the suit the band has attempted to cut her out of any further payments. According to Lawyers for AIC, Mum tried to illegally trademark the AIC name and has already been paid far more than she is due. It's things like this that keep old material from surfacing think Courtney Love and Nirvana. If you would like to read the full article check it out HERE>>>>>>>>>
Kid Rock Scalped His Own Tickets
So if you're a Kid Rock fan (you're probably not reading this blog) but in an article today posted on MSN he goes into detail about scalping tickets to his own show on Stubhub.com for much more than face value. He discusses the practice by also saying that other people are doing it. Of course, other people beat their wifes, and murder puppies, and there was that teenage girl that got raped and killer herself so I guess other people do that too....so that rational I totally understand. But here's the thing for me. If this is such a common practice [...]
Korn to Tour with Brian “Head” Welch
Brian "Head" Welch is going out on tour reunited with Korn. Rumor has it there are several festivals in the works as well. If you're in one of the few areas they have scheduled it would be worth the trip to go see them!! While a lot of people shunned Head because of his whole "Head To Christ" all about the Jesus thing, I actually dug it because the tunes were killers. And not only had the Korn vibe but the tunes were better than what was coming out of the Korn camp. I dunno call me silly. But check out [...]
