    So I have a purple ESP LTD EC-1000 that I had an aftermarket evertune installed onto and I have noticed the same thing you’re talking about. After the install there’s not as much sustain and it’s a little more woofy now. My biggest gripe against it though is that the springs in the back resonate on stop and go’s when they’re technically not supposed to so I don’t know what happened there. For me too, the guitar was just more fun to play before the swap so I’ll write it off as a lesson learned and go back to Floyd’s and hard tail / TOM

Sorry I dont have any kemper products...but If i can get a solid "amp sound" and try to work in an fx floor board with in/outs of my floor unit. I will consider this pack if I get a player..this is awesome cool..mid range tight tones in a lot of this. Wicked stuff

    Some people say it doesn’t affect the tone. But the ones who do, they say is brighter. I must have watched every Evertune review since it came out. It is the first time I hear someone saying it makes it sound bassy. I hope this serves as a testament that opinions on gear are so varied and subjective, just try it and see!

    • @JoshMiddletonOfficial
      @JoshMiddletonOfficial 4 дні тому

      In my experience with people discussing tone/gear on the internet, a lot of people get a lot of things wrong. I don’t trust a lot of guitarists ears. People like Nolly or anyone that is also a producer and has really trained their ears for mixing as well as being a player are usually the most reliable. As you said though, the best thing is to try it out and see for yourself 👍🏻

    Josh.. Have you thought of merging the old Sylosis "Marshall" sound with the newer 5150/6505 sound? The EVH EL34 100S is perfect for that. Also, what string gauges are you using now that you're in C#, and have you thought of trying Duncan Blackouts? I swear they're better than Fishman!

I literally have his EII Eclipse beside my 4 knob at home right now and they're incredibly close. My Edwards Alexi has a few tiny cosmetic blemishes but the neck profile, fretwork and feel are the same as my Horizon (and I've owned 2 made the same week). Have you owned an Original Series or Custom Shop? That's the next step for me, almost bought a Kiso bolt on KH-2 but it wasn't quite the price I was ready to put in, it seems like it's the only attainable used CS ESP for lefties. I'm quite curious to see if there's a real difference considering how good the SS can be. Also I have another Edwards Alexi and an EII Eclipse on order (the perks of being endorsed and spending just as much money as before since you just get more guitars lol) so the comparison will be interesting

My SS was about 2300€, regular stock pricing back in the days, which I think was some kind of a steal for a guitar of this quality. I own a KH-2 and a KH-3. But I they are not Custom Shop. As far as I know the Term "ESP Custom Shop" refers to the Instruments that where specifically handcrafted in the ESP-Store in NY. Btw the KH-2 is a real workhorse!!!
