Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Yeah.. the Regius. It's a neck-through (the others are bolt-on necks except the PRS)
That's not even a 'great' top for Mayones.. I've never been a huge flame maple fan.. much prefer quilted.. but this one just jumped out at me!
Caps are great guitars! I played Adam D's (Killswitch Engage) before I came back out here.. He has a new signature model that's STUPID LIGHT (he has back problems), and it was amazing.
They're expensive but honestly the best built guitars I've ever seen. There is literally ZERO flaws in any of them. At some point I'm going to build a Regius 7, but that'll have to wait.. It'll cost me close to $5k when I done, but meh..

So Kemper released The Profiler Floorboard but I think I would still prefer the powerless head for $99 more.
EDIT I'm hoping the cost of this will lower the price on used non powered heads as well.

I got to watch Tommy Emmanuel perform in Maryland last night. Great performance and glad I got to see him while he’s still at the top of his game.

Pretty sweet looking unit. Just imagine carrying that instead of an amp everywhere and having album-quality tones.

Yeah those kempers are fucking nice shit. I just cannot justify the price for a hobbyist like me, lol. But damn, I saw some videos of some profiles and it blew my mind, like the van halen one.
Ive played with a lot of dudes in garage type setups back in the late 80s and into the 90s (drums) and im betting they would give their left nut to change up their sound like that especially doing covers and shit like we always did. It was mostly with either a peavy or a marshall 1/2 stack and of course some pedals and shit they had but it always sounded "samey".

I found out yesterday they have a version of Rig Manager in the works that will allow you to tweak profiles and not just load/unload profiles to the unit. So price wise that puts the stage as the best deal if you aren't looking for a powered version. It certainly changed my mind about getting the stage over the non powered head, since it gives you a $500 controller that doesn't come with the head. No release date on the 3.0 version of the Rig Manager but with the stage out now it seems like it shouldn't be to long.

You need to have some nut files to replace nut. they come in different sizes for different strings. Good jap ones are expensive, but they have chinese knockoffs.
Best price I have seen for the jap ones...

Check this dude out, hes got some good vods on the subject... Kinda long winded because he covers the entire process for his customers, but there is always the fast forward..

So I made PLENTY of mistakes in this as it was one take without fully figuring out the song. However, wanted to show off the power of the Fractal AxeFX III. Absolutely nailed Ty Tabor's tone which isn't easy.
Can really hear it stand out around 1:33.
