    I've not been playing for a few months, due to feeling like I suck (after playing for 34 years). But I gotta say, this makes me want to play. Which I'll do, as soon as we have electricity here in central Florida.

    What a GREAT GREAT video man! Loved it. Can you PLEASE do another video on IR? honestly, I've watched a million videos on this and I still don't quite get what it is. I realize it's a way to import some cab/speaker settings somehow, but I have no idea (despite the million videos I watched): Where do you find these IRs? Are these files? what are these IRs exactly? How do you apply or import them to your software? can you import to your amp? I can ask a few more here , but hopefully you get the gist. If you can do a video on IRs truly start from scratch, explain what it is, demonstrate where you find them, how you apply them - it will be a MAJOR MAJOR help man. Thanks for this video Ben. The Horsemeat is incredible!

    Maybe I am biased because I love Opeth, but these are some of the best tones I have heard. Particularly the neck lead tone on top of the clean guitar. Just the exact tone I have in my head. I cannot decide whether it is the amp or the pedals

    I dont really know if the pedals meant anything. any descent player with a PRS and a EVH/Marshall stack is gonna sound good and Ben could make a squire sing, so those together is gonna sound fantastic even before studio mastering. You could replace the pedals with a literal brick and this would sound sick as hell.
