      @theorocks:

      Cool looks like you've been doing lots of research, for me its new gear like this is always hard to find the time to get to know it set up etc. I just started using IEM and I have weird ear canals so the stock fitted ear pieces don't work that great, I,m going to get custom molds just trying to figure who/what I should get. Any chance your familiar with IEM?

      westone do a serious kit for IEM. the have a basic range and a range that involves custom ear impressions. i get away with off the shelf ones and use shure that have now become my earphones to listen to mucis.

      Cool will check
      Out I have heard
      Of Westone

        I really should be practicing coding tests on leetcode, but instead I've been watching videos about the Boss SY-1000 guitar synth. It can be used directly from a 1/4" jack, so you don't need to bolt on their GK pickup.

        It has some of the effects and amp simulations from the Boss GT-1000 too, so it could be an all purpose unit…

        Looks like fun [emoji851]

                  Strat looks awesome but I’m being distracted by the Bassman (?) and the Plexi.  😛

                    I have been wanting to join this conversation since I joined the forum just as I wanted to pick up my guitars and start playing as I used to. I took a long break and wished I wouldn't had. As I found myself almost back to square one… I couldn't play anymore. After many false starts trying to build my skills back up I finally feel some progress. So much so, that I have rejoined my old metal cover band.
                    Then and now

                        Thanks Giles. I look forward to talking shop in this thread and posting some gear shots. Maybe even some music.

                        Something that got me back on the path was remembering this weird guitar I saw in Musician Fiend Magazine years ago. Back in the late 90's maybe. I did a bunch of searching and finally found it… was hell to find as I didn't know the brand or name of this guitar. But I persisted  and found it! They still sell them. Haha and I bought one and have been woodshedding ever since.

                          Another post featuring that same guitar along with my home practice rig that's evolved a lot since. I hope to show how my band rig and home practice rig is evolving.

                            Here's the always evolving rig I put together for playing with the band and I took it to the practice dungeon and just leave it there:

                              Here is that same pedalboard when I pulled it out of the vaults to see what I had to work with:

                                  Nice rig Dalt!  I too have been attempting to get back into it.

                                  Thx to a FB friend that keeps sending me vids of him learning/playing Team Spirit. And me retorting.

                                      @daltmeyer great to see you're getting back in to it

                                      @mikebarhoot plenty of versatility with those 3! Metal through to Jazz!

                                      The devil is in the detail..

                                          Thanks AdamJ and MikeBarHoot!

                                          So I had a lot of fun putting that pedalboard together. I took it to the band rehearsal dungeon and left it there. I decided to build a backup board or just one for around the house to keep the floor tidy and experiment with different effects.

                                          I looked around and found this online and sent an offer that was accepted. I knew it would be a lot of work to strip it bare and prepare it for different pedals. What an understatement! I underestimated how much scraping and adhesive remover I was gonna need. Let alone how much velcro.

                                          Here's the populated board before they removed the pedals and then some photos of the pedals removed except the huge Mondo power supply and all the cables that were included in the sale and needed stripped off:

                                            So after hours of unscrewing the wooden riser blocks, scraping adhesive and velcro. It's finally ready for carpet… or velcro. I choose velcro soft side.
