Graduate level software engineer with a love for guitar, and have played for many years. I never made it big in the music space, but I have lent my "skills" for a couple of studio sessions for some friends. Now instead of concentrating on "making it" I enjoy writing and recording the music that is my passion. I have an abnormal obsession with gear of all kinds, and I have spent a couple of years tweaking what I have until it sounds exactly the way I want it to :D.
I've also built my own amps/pedals/guitars, and heavily modified the stock one's I own. I'm an electrical engineering nerd--although I don't think I could handle it as a profession--I still find the physical properties of guitars/amps/effects fascinating. You can find me on twitter at the address below.

Multi-Effects Pedal or Multiple Effects Pedals? As for the money comment, you're usually going to spend way more on a board than you will on say a Line6 MX10 or something similar. Granted, I know AxeFx rigs run in the 2k range, but my personal gigging board has approached that easily--and if you count all the pedals I have unloaded in the search for "my sound" eclipsed it. |

Multi-Effects Pedal or Multiple Effects Pedals? Hah okay okay, so some of my bias comes out. I tried pretty hard to keep it objective XD. Sounding digital definitely has it's place--I even own and use a pair of T-Rex Replicas on my main board because I can't live without tap tempo. So let me clarify that "I" consider sounding digital to be a con, but your mileage may vary. Thanks for pointing that out. It's not technically incorrect though. A discerning ear should be able to spot a digital delay against an MXR Carbon Copy or similar analog delay in a heartbeat. |

What is the difference between analog and digital effects pedals? Other features typically inviable on analog circuitry include tap tempos for bucket brigade echo effects. Several companies have built hybrids of digital and analog components in an attempt to bridge the gap however. |

Cleaning the fretboard of an electric guitar Agreed, there is some risk involved--but it will get the shiny buffed look he's looking for without actually grinding down the frets any. If the frets are very damaged, take the guitar to a luthier for a fret job--don't try and fix that yourself. |

What's causing this buzzing sound on the high e string? Correct, thanks for clarifying that! |

How to Calibrate / Setup an Electric Guitar? @Luiscencio We still have your "tremolo" problem that we could address. Could you please describe it in more detail? |

In phase, out of phase pickups The middle pickup is not out of phase in some cases, it's simply reverse wound. Think of a humbucker, which is two single coils wired in series with one another--one of them is wired in reverse (our opposite polarity). If a humbucker were out of phase with itself then it would sound very strange :D. Humbuckers are wired this way to "buck" the unique hum you hear on single coils. |
