    I don’t see why anyone would even want to daisy chain pedals off a tuner…sounds like you’d be asking for potential noise issues by doing so. Walrus audio designs pedals that require a high amount of current, so they recommend isolated power for their pedals. Same reason you don’t see any of their pedals with a 9v battery option.

    • @RockGuitarVibes
      @RockGuitarVibes 10 днів тому

      Looks like I haven't explained clear enough - the power supply has 2 outputs with 500mA and 3 outputs with 100mA, one of the 500mA outputs is already in use by a high current pedal. In 2024 selling a very modern tuner with one elementary feature missing is kind of weird, sorry.

    I have the same Thornbuckers but uncovered in a strat body. I found them too bright and tending a bit thin. I changed the 500K pots (which I bought specifically because we are always told humbuckers should have 500K pots) with 250K pots. In an amp that sounds good for a classic strat, these pickups are now in about the same general tonal range. It was most weird when a huimbucker guitar sounded brighter thasn a strat! Problem now solved. The mess that is pickup wire color coding was a pain for me too.

    After installing this blocking mod, can we add a d-tuna ? Because of the blocked Floyd Rose then instead of retuning the D string we can use the d tuna, right ? Another question, can we still pull up AND pull down the floyd while we blocked it at the back ? Sorry for my poor knowledge, I will get my first floyd rose guitar in few days :’)

    • @RockGuitarVibes
      @RockGuitarVibes 29 днів тому

      When blocked you can't pull up the trem any longer - that's how it works. However, dive bombs etc. are still possible. Theoretically you can also install a D-tuna - the issue is, that you'll need some additional space for it, especially when the trem is unlocked and you want to hardly pull the trem. Otherwise the extension part of the D-tuna will touch the body and can only be pulled upwards to a certain extent. The problem can be solved by routing out some wood under the D-tuna. Not sure if it's worth the effort...

    • @RockGuitarVibes
      @RockGuitarVibes Місяць тому

      Well, it's no problem if your power supply has enough slots - however, the used power supply has only 5 outlets, that are all in use. So I'm not able to use the tuner without replacing the power supply - that's not what I would have expected from a modern tuner with many good features. I don't know any other *tuner* which isn't able to be used in a daisy chain setup!

    I had to send back both of the Ltd I ordered because of qc issues, and was quite bummed as well. Especially since they moved most of the production to Indonesia. These 2, H3 1007B and Arctic Metal 7, were the reasons why I switched to Solar. The guitars are probably made in the same, usual factories anyway, but it seems that Esp doesn't pay enough to guarantee proper quality control compared to other companies. Their Ltd's reaching E2 prices doesn't make it better either. The most shocking part is that you got a Korean model, which are usually good. Guess I'll stick to my 2 Solars. I always wanted Esp as a kid, but fate decided that I shouldn't. After all, I can't just order every model and then send it back if more of the Ltd models are flawed, or Thomann will probably blacklist me lol

(btw good choice on the thornbuckers). I thought both sets sounded great, but the Suhr's sound more classic. I like low output into higher gain boosted with a pedal vs higher output. Both of those sets sound great, the thornbuckers are just more my style, they have that classic more PAF type dynamic.

      The line level is taken from the power amp output which is a good thing - means with your preferred cabinet connected and an IR you'll get the best result at a certain volume level. With a loadbox, the amp can be used in silent mode at any amp volume, but the result will not be necessarily better.
