    I've not been able to find someone who has done a comparison between them. I currently use addictive drums and I'm happy with it but would like to know if there is something better for metal before I pull trigger on something like bogren (as I would like to expand and try something new)

    By the way, some of us beginners are old and are better at fixing things than playing things. Just saying. I live in Portland and I'm in the market for a pointy guitar if you've got any that you're sick of. I want to try something I can angle up and straighten out my wrist, it might improve my playing, haha. I would trade 1 or 2 or 3 or more of my guitars for a pointy one. I've got a new black JS22 7 string that I installed red Fishman Fluence open core moderns in so it looks like a stovetop with 2 hot burners, but now it's too good for my apartment/practice amp. It needs a real amp. I would trade that as well. You get partial credit for turning me into a gear junkie.😎👍

  • @TJEvans98

    my only comment is that the Headrush Core can do all the stuff that the Flex Prime can do, with the software, the superclones, cloning plugins, etc. Headrush provided every Prime/Core owner with free access to the revalver software with the 4.0 update that coincided with the release of the Flex Prime...I know that opinions are based on personal usage, but I use the Core for guitar, vocals, and backing tracks, with the "practice tool" feature. The Flex Prime doesn't have the I/O to support all of that. I actually wished that they had released a "Flex Core," as well, that was similar, but didn't include the expression pedal.....kinda HX Stompish, with cloning tech.

    The JS11 is also great because it's HIGHLY VALUABLE as mod/upgrade platform. 2 point trem, 2 hum, 3 way toggle, full size pots. Also, there is a JS12 model with 24 frets that is similarly spec'd and priced.

    I'm not sure I've seen any other people do a tier list of their own reviews... Very smart move tbh! A good way to summarize the year, and then send more traffic to the videos you've made of the higher tier items.
    PS: I want to request a review of a somewhat out-of-pocket guitar--the Yamaha Revstar lineup (Element, Standard, Professional). John Browne of Monuments made a review which sent me down a rabbit hole of reviews... Oddly his was one of the only reviews demonstrating the Rev's metal/overdriven tone capabilities. I ended up with a Revstar Standard, and it's now one of my most prized possessions/favourite guitar. The build quality VS price point on the Rev Standard seems.... illegal. In a good way.

    • @TaylorDanley
      @TaylorDanley  День тому

      You will now lol. In all honesty, I always try to do some sort of recap video like this at the end or beginning of the next year. This year I just decided to do a tier list instead. TBH, it worked out great because I'm constantly getting asked "what do you think of X now that Y time has passed?", and this is a really efficient way to address all those questions at once without making dedicated videos!
      Interesting guitar, I've never heard of it, but if I get the right opportunity to I will!

    I had the Friedman IR-X and did return it. Just couldn't dial it in to produce anything that sounded better than the digital modelers I already had. Tubes don't make that much difference any more. It was not bad though. Didn't like the boost in it vs an actual TS9 or something like that. I think the TS9 circuit they included in the IR-J would have been a better option for the IR-X IMHO.

    • @TaylorDanley

Get two Tonre X Ones and slap vol pedal inbetween them and yuo have a fully and highly functionall MFX modeller board basically. First one is your amp and boost and the later is your IR and wet FX. Like $400 bucks you got something that can compete with $1000 plus modellers. You can do MIDI with it, you can set scenes using the set up mode. The Tone X One is highly functional once you get to use to it. Graat job Ikmultimedia!!
