The best thing in the world can be playing a true temperament guitar.

Good stuff but it’s like everything else: subjective. The complete packs are a bit expensive in my opinion however you can also try the essential packs although there is a smaller selection of cabinet / speakers compared to the complete packs.

From the side of the complete packs: the clear advantage is that they create IR files with plenty of microphones so you can try many interesting alternatives in addition to the usual "studio standard" microphones like SM57, R121, M160 etc. On the other hand it can be a downside: we all know what it’s like when we have a million choices to choose from and we listen to them all along. Another advantage is that you can choose from IR files with premium quality preamps. (All IRs captured with a neutral power amp). I should also mention that although the selection of microphones is huge, the files made with each microphone do not contain many positions, although you will also find an EQ version along with other versions. Finally, if you are looking for mixes of multiple microphones, you will find a total of one such directory (quick start folder).

I recommend both Ownhammer and Choptones. Ownhammer (also) very popular, it is used a lot. If you haven't tried it yet I recommend the Heavy Hitters Collection for rock music.

Vinny, the picture itself (which is great anyway) would fit into a guitar commercial as well.

Quote from GearJocke

Just watch his right hand. So relaxed and it looks like he doesn't do much with it but really does. I know many don't like him as a person and..well he's not the most humble and nicest guy. But he can't be worse than Ted Nugent. But if I had to like all famous musicians I like I would have stop to listen to more bands.

Visually, Malmsteen is the most elegantly playing guitar pal next to Steve Vai. I know less about today’s scene (I know the big names, of course) but among the “old big ones,” they’re the ones who make you think "it’s not hard", since they also play without the slightest effort.

It is also important to say that in addition to the fast scales and arpeggios, his guitar playing is full of soul and life. If he gets to a slower part or plays blues, you’ll hear it right away. Yes, let’s say he has such a strong personality ( ) and I haven’t really been able to love his records released in recent years, but without him, that’s not what the world of guitarists would look like today.

I noticed that Steve Vai (very cleverly) spoke respectfully about him during their performances and Malmsteen appreciates that. Otherwise, it could not have been a Queen project either. (Bohemian Rhapsody).

Some gems:

The very first YJM record I heard from start to finish was Seventh Sign. The singer was Mike Vescera, who may also be familiar from the band Loudness.

Newest video, the album comes at the end of this month

Nice color & top. Not so 'metal' but unique.

Probably you should get a look to the shop, there's something cool

Great, I look forward to the presentation

Hi, I’m voting to have something modded or extraordinary Marshall in rock-metal style.

New Evergrey is coming in February. Seeing the two new songs I know I won’t be disappointed

Professional in every aspect. The singer may have been very angry at someone for shouting so much.

Unfortunately 2021 kicked in the door with bad news as well. Alexi Laiho has passed away. He was only 41 years old. Although I haven’t really followed the COB band in recent years, they were one of the most popular extreme metal bands in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

One of the first good news in 2021. "DAWNING OF A BRAND NEW DAY from the forthcoming album SY-OPS"

Tha great Loudness, the golden years with Mike Vescera

Any news about the Driftwood amp pack?

Quote from Monkey_Man

Indeed brother.

Definitely not puppets! God knows, we have enough of them in the world already.

... and they have good messages, even though I’m not vegan.

Unique story, they achieved great popularity together. I don't know what to do with their music, but the concept, visual realization and uniqueness also caught me when I first saw and heard them. It seemed from the beginning that they were not two "puppets."
