Dimarzio Pickups – ESP ST203-FR Part 2 Electric Boogaloo

Posted By on January 11, 2012

 

A while back I did a post confessing my love for a particular guitar I had acquired from our store , the ESP ST203-FR. I showed how I did a couple of tweaks and upgrades to make it rock out even better than it did off the rack  ( Dimarzio pickups, U.S. Floyd Rose, Giant brass block ) . I guess you can consider this the sequel to the demo I did a while back.  I wanted to let you hear the guitar in a more ideal situation…..LIVE!!!! Here is a quick video of me and my band Rock Opera Theater throwing down with my favorite axe.

Cable Shootout!

Posted By on December 12, 2011

 It is really hard to realize how valuable a cable is in terms of tone. It is the only link between the amplifier and the guitar. It is actually one of the most crucial steps to achieving great tone and is often over looked. Over looked because most don’t get the chance to really compare cables side by side and hear the difference it makes. So this is an opportunity to hear such a comparison and maybe find the cable you need to reach the tone you have been searching for. For this test I took 3 of the most popular cables in the store each running though a Roland M-16DX at the same gain setting. Then it was recorded using Logic Pro and a basic amp simulator. No EQ or compression was applied. So check out the video and see if you can hear a difference. To reveal the answers click on the description box on the video page on YouTube.
