Finally got this thing in today. Gave it a run through at the rehearsal space and it killed. We compared it to the following through 3 different amps: Keeley SD-1 MXR GT-OD Fulltone OCD v4 BBE Green Screamer & BBE Gus G Boss OD-3 Bad Monkey TC Electronic Spark Boost Honestly it was no contest...

What's the scoop? Anyone try them? Reasonably priced and have some cool options on paper.

FedEx dropped off this new Ibanez hardtail Prestige this morning. This is my first ever "shredder" style guitar other than a couple of Charvel San Dimas' that I no longer have. I am blown away at the craftmanship, playability, and tuning stability. The Super Wizard neck is insanely fast and...

I've been on an exhaustive search for a V. Gisbon has discontinued the standard model and the Custom Shops are just out of my price range. Plus, I was particularly looking for one with no pickguard and a rear route. After my inquiries with 3 custom builders were either ignored or...

I have a bunch of speakers that need a home. A guy locally is selling an unloaded mid-90's Ampeg slant. He says its all birch ply except for an MDF back panel. It essentially looks mint and he is asking $75. Just curious if anyone uses/has used one.

Anybody still play one of these? I'm trying to help our other guitarist replace his old Carvin Legacy. I want to keep it under $1k and it will be used for playing heavy southern rock and classic metal (similar to UFO, Thin Lizzy, etc). We are planning to keep his V30 loaded Legacy cab. I...

What can can you tell me about it? Pros/Cons? I will be pairing it with a high output full sized bucker in a modified American Strat

Getting married and moving in a new house in 2 weeks..........so no more blasting the amp all night :lol: :LOL: I'm looking for the best possible headphone solution for late night jamming. My idea is to get the C.A.B. and use the headphone out with my Bogner Red pedal. The C.A.B is a lot of...

I have the HT-Dual and run it into the front of an Ampeg GVT 5 watt head for late night jamming. It sounds really good to my ears, but I'm wondering if I should invest in the Bogner. Does anyone own both or have played them both?

For a while there, everyone raved about them, but I rarely hear about them anymore. I'm looking for a couple speakers on the cheap to pair with some new Creambacks in a 4x12.

I wanted to do something interesting to one of my mahogany Carvin SC90's. I took a chance on a Dean DMT "Lights Out" bridge pickup since I am a huge Schenker fan. It measures out around 17k........but it doesn't sound that hot in reality. I wasn't expecting it to be the best sounding "hot"...

I guy at work is moving and just gave me a pair of brand new Eminence Delta 12A speakers. These are NOT the Delta Pro 12A's. The Eminence website describes them as "Recommended for professional audio as a mid-bass or woofer (with high-pass filter) in vented enclosures". I'm assuming they...

Gibson LP Studio "Nitrous". This is a really cool LP at an affordable price ($1,099). It is WAY beyond my expectations. Believe it or not, I am going to sell my LP Traditional. It just flat out feels better, plays better, and sounds better. Comes with push/pull pots, 500k all the way...

I do like the amp "as is" but a few things were bothering me. First off, all the channels seemed a bit bright. I could remedy this by running both the treble/presence knobs around 9:00. However, it seemed odd having to run them that low. And second, CH3 has entirely too much gain and is...

I've read numerous times about the EVH 50 not liking 8 ohm loads. However, there is no description or explanation of why. All of my cabs are 8 ohm and I think it sounds great. But this talk makes me wonder if I'm missing something. Can anyone shed some light on this???
