If any of you are Ableton Live users, I've got a Push 2 I'm looking to offload. Space is at a premium level and it's got to go. PM if interested

Went to a vintage guitar shop yesterday because I'm in the market. Came somewhat close to dropping lots and lots of cash on a '72 Les Paul but thought better of it. Think I'm just gonna get another Kiesel made.

Let The Good Times Roll!

Watched a 1 day build where Adam Savage made a mobile soldering workstation and decided to up my game. Not doing anything music oriented at the moment but my interest in diy pedals is skyrocketing

I'm thinking of something pretty basic as a first go, maybe a Morley a/b/y, then something like a dual tube screamer based off of analogman's stuff.

Had to learn Them Bones for my band, by alice in chains of course. It's like three total riffs in the song, really 2.5. Solo wasn't hard but very fun to play.

Our drummer sucks ass, but playing this stuff in a band feels awesome. I had to transpose and play it on a 7 in B standard, so it doesn't sound EXACTLY the same as the original.

Pretty smart to partner with Sweetwater for the distribution they can give being this is NeuralDSP's first piece of hardware. They also put up a pre-order page, so hopefully getting one won't be a super long wait. The original pre-orders on NeuralDSP site should be shipping soonish I tihnk

Sold a 72 Custom a few years back for a huge profit. Bought it in the 90's for $800. Loved the guitar but they were experimenting with woods back then. Damn thing weighed a ton and would wear me out on stage. Great tone though and had sustain that lasted forever.

Kind of wish I kept it for recording purposes. Can't seem to replicate that sound with my other Les Paul, the one that doesn't break my back.

Yeah this thing was heavy AF and sounded HOT. Dug that aspect of the tone. But it was damn near $4k and it wasn't THAT good.

looks cool though honestly I am not sure I would want my pedal switches doubling as rotary knobs. The fact that every parameter on the unit has midi CC mapping is awesome and has tons of potential, especially with midi/ableton/maxmsp.

I dont know about these expensive all in one DSP units though. I need to compare it to my cheap ones one day when the rona is gone and I can test pedals in store again.

I'd still buy a Kemper at that price point but I do like NeuralDSP quite a bit on the software stuff so that could change once more of the units are in the wild

Perusing the gallery and looking at building my next guitar. Think I'm gonna go for this style of top.

I just bought a new EHX pitch shifter + last week to replace my busted digitech wh2 and have been playing with it for about 2 hours a day for a week ( that work from home life lets me pretty much practice while I do work).

you can set 2 pitch shift settings at once and route them to external speakers which is pretty insane. I have been splitting up my pedals or using delay and chorus through the external out to another input on my recording unit to get some really interesting stereo tracks. I havent really touched the modx section but I have made some pretty sick presets that I want to use in recording situations.

I have a 75 LP Custom.. it is heavy but it is hot and sounds incredibly good. Standing up with it for more than an hour wears on you though.

Horns are a bit different but definitely similar. I'm wanting a similar looking style guitar but want a fixed bridge tune o matic system rather than strings through the body. PRS Paul's guitar would be a dream, if it had 24 mother fucking frets ...... lol

Ha I bought it because it didn't have the 24 frets. Had a CE24 but it felt super strange, the Paul's Guitar felt just right. Too expensive though it is a great guitar!

I'm just the opposite, grew up on 24 frets so even playing my strat feels super weird.

Looks like a PRS

I also looked at a PRS when I was at Carter last week. Dug how it played, but it just didn't sound right. Too warm. Plus I know the style of neck on a Kiesel/Carvin is way more up my alley. I love a thin profile neck and that's exactly what they deliver. Plus you can get them with a tung oil finish which is way better than a polyurethane or lacquered neck. That shit gets so sticky while tung is always silky smooth.

Funny you mention this, have a bass I use but has a finish on the neck I can't stand. I just got the hardware off and about to tape it up. Gonna leave some of the original finish for a "aged" look then hit it with gun oil/wax.
