I had and sold an MG06X, I still miss that little guy. I bought a UR-22mkii specifically because it had the same D-pres. I think they sound great, way nicer than most if not all pres in similar mixers/interfaces.
Nope, no naivete here, I totally agree with what you're saying. The reality of the music business now (as has been forever) is the bottom line. Money. And how to keep it coming in. That said, I love that Brian and Roger are keeping it going and for sure engaging the younger audiences...
I'm a huge Queen fan but I just can't stand Adam Lambert. I've tried, really. I can literally watch him for like 2 minutes then have to switch to something else. And he's got a great voice, no question. Great range, just nails it but as a performer he just grates me. Martel's voice is...
I ended up with the Weber 12A125A (most recommended by 5E3 community) in the amp, and it's great but after everything the Mod 12-50 could have stayed and sounded pretty much as good. Bit of tone difference but also very similar sounding.
I built the Tubedepot 5E3 kit that came with the Mod 12-50. It was actually a really great match for the amp. I went down the replacement speaker rabbit hole and now have an alnico cream in it but the Mod 12-50 was as good as any of the others I tried (WGS, weber...)
Nothing specific I guess but the implication of HJ being removed and Gibson refocusing on core business is a pretty big change over how it's been going the last several years...
OCD, really wanted to like it because I thought I should. Didn’t. Fuzz same thing, couldn’t gel with my little big muff. I DO however, love my Havalina so I’ve found a fuzz I can work with. Red witch pedals, too. Had the 7 sisters comp and trem. Comp was actually pretty good but Cali...
Update, so in recall mode where the program buttons don't work, it does not pass audio. I'm thinking there's a power issue to the little circuit board. Direct mode works as it should. I have an email into their support but it doesn't look like there's any info about these things anywhere...
I just picked up one of these cheap off a guy because he said it was broken. It switches between the loops ok but the program lights L1-L5 don't light up ever. I haven't plugged it in at home yet, will in a bit but it does "appear" at this point to be fully functional. The loop buttons do...
