Re: Might a new tool in your box?

Hi I have been using Sonic Visualizer and Riffstation (payed license) for while now. I have also the old program Digital Music Mentor ( not supported anymore). I am using them to find out the chords in recordings of songs. They are finding out chords fairly correctly, but often they are "fooled...

Re: Humbucker vs P90 vs Single Coil pickup

Hi VB
No, I don't know what type of Alnico that is used in the P90 pickups.
Only information is that they are "overwound"i.e. hot.
"AXL says that they are some of the hottest pickups that they put on their guitars".

Re: GAS attack - multi effect pedal

Hi Gerd
The distorted sound from the Tonelab LE is a bit too "sharp" for my taste.
It sounds as the Tonelab starts to distort at a lower level than the Toneport.
