I've been spinning my JB collection, Lps and Cds. JB had a great blues/rock band in the late 60s with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass. I can't understand why that band wasn't more successful. Jimmy Page must have heard Truth and Beck-Ola. Led Zep was the same thing with the turbo on. JB kept evolving as a guitar player, Clapton stopped after 1970, Page after 1980. I spun Who Else, electro dance 90s stuff, Clapton never would have done that. Oh well, he's jamming with Jimi and Eddie now.

I remember installing a new chip in my Line 6 Pod 1.0 upgrading it to a 2.0 back then. I recently sold it to a friend for 50 euro...

I have a 2LP with BBC recordings of Hendrix. In the liner notes they write the BBC engineer told Jimi he was getting back a lot of feedback and distortion. It took a while for Jimi to make them understand that was his sound...

I know, old thread but i finally got off my lazy ass and tied to figure it out. Album version off YT. Harmonic Pitch, interval 1 Unison, Interval 2 +3rd. Key is Ab(Fm relative minor). Probably in A but tuned down a half step. Play the BOTTOM line.

With the Roland stuff, modeling works flawlessly but with the GS PCM stuff you keep having the tracking problem. I always try to play the part on the keyboard first.

Hey, I have a GR55 and VG99 as well as a Kemper. Don't use the Roland stuff a lot anymore but i keep it just in case. 12 string Rick simulation or GS stuff. Nice setup!

Or an organ module like the EHX B9. I have a Roland VG99 , a Gr55and a dirt cheap Boss Katana head all with a Metheny GR300 simulation. The Katana obviously works with a normal jack cable.
Wilder idea. Use the USB input with a Roland device like the GI-20 and a hex pickup. Use midi mono mode. Then you could process each string individually. Think of the possibilities, alternate tunings etc.

Wouldn't he need an intelligent harmonizer? So say we're in C: the harmonizer knows that when you play a C it should add a major 3rd and on a D a minor 3rd.

Back to the 80's !

Ibanez RG 550 from a local thrift store. F series, Fujigen Japan 1989. Before overhaul. Look at the price tag
OK it has the feared crack in the headstock and very low flat frets. Hey you can't have it all...

Just scored a laptop in the local thrift store. Intel I5 chip, 8 Gb RAM, 220 Gb SSD (!). 45 euro. It has a Windows 7 sticker on it. It ran W7, W8, skipW9, now W10 and without a doubt it will run W11. The old standby Kemper is still up to date.

There are no modelling devices which will make a standard guitar, tuned to standard pitch tune to something like drop D, drop C# or similar.
Not true. Any old guitar with a Roland GK pickup and a Roland GR55, VG99, VG88, Boss GP10 etc. modelling device will do the trick.

I just scored a Roland VG99. You don't see them for sale often and i wanted one for a long time. The basic modelling is surprisingly good for a 10+ year old device. It really shines with a GK pickup and 13 pin cable. I just recorded a song with a VG99 modelled 12 string Rickenbacker guitar, it sits nicely in the mix. Alternative tunings. Drop down tunings for the metal dudes. Low E and A strings with a bass sound one octave lower.
I know the Kemper doesn't have a 13 pin Roland input but it has a USB input. I have a Roland GI-20 interface from Roland GK to midi over USB. It would be so cool to be able to process each string individually with the Kemper.

Very nice! Never seen one with a Sustainiac. That JEM isn't bad either!
-
I just looked into Boss Tone central. The rec out has its own cab sim so it's not neutral.
-
I have a HT-5 head, it has a tube power stage so it's going to color your sound a bit. I have a UK Marshall 1922 cab, the old Blackstar rocks on it
5 watt can be loud on a good cab though. My Boss Katana has power scaling, i run it on 0.5 watt!
-
I also have a 1990 S540, same neck, same problem. It's 30 year old wood though and you can feel it. There's the new Genesis RG550 reissue, pricing is OK for a MIJ Ibanez but it'll feel like a new guitar.

Ibanez RG550 F series Fujigen Japan 1989. I scored it in a local thrift store for a song! Ok there were several parts missing and it has 2 major problems. The neck has the infamous crack in the neck/headstock region. And the frets have been levelled almost down to the wood, extremely low wide frets. So i would have to refret it myself... Awesome shredder though!

you could try the line output of the kemper to the line in of the interface.
