    Darkglass Noisegate ?

    So, I stumbled upon this a couple minutes ago: "Darkglass Electronics has announced the NSG Noise Gate pedal, a noise suppressor designed for bass, guitar and any signal chain ..." What's the deal ? Anyone with some experience with this one ? I know it's designed for bass players, but what if...

    The ultimate high gain head for my needs?

    Hi man, I promised you back in 2022 to share my personal thoughts about the Rivera k-tré 120. It took too long due to some logistic issues, shipping the amp took a longer time than estimated, then I had a massive career change which made me neglect playing and rehearsing...add to that my will to...

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    Honestly the WGS speakers are very nice, I would not change my veteran 30s, it's just that I want to have a 4x12 for it's typical acoustic qualities, I think the Rivera fits the bill but who knows where gas may lead me to lol

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    I have a Marshall KK, love it to death, glorious hot rodded Marshall tone with clarity, tightness, and oomph due to the big bottles and iron, I use it with a Portcity OS 212, oversized cabs are known for adding lowend, bass, and sometimes the result is a mushy and loose tone. The k-tré has extra...

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    Indeed, speakers make or break the tone. So far it looks one can't go wrong with Rivera's k412

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    Since you did mention the Uberkab, I came across a Redseven 412 ad with the v30/T-75 combo, I don't know if it's as effective as the Uberkab, but it's rear loaded.

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    Is it the mode four cab by any chance ? Kerry King swears by those over the regular Marshall cabs. The k-tré has huge amount of low end, thus I thought that the k100 could help the amp breath and kick harder.

    Rivera k-tré 120 vs P50s ?

    Thank you for chiming in. I got some contradictory reports about the p50s, although the Fryette is top notch as a 412, the p50s seem ro be a hit or miss, I don't know... But the same applies for Rivera, people who used one and those who opened and checked the cab from the inside confirm it's a...

    Bad Cat Lynx - undiscovered gem of their line

    Necrobump Is the point to point Lynx 50 a real high gain amp with what seems to be a blend of Soldano and hot rodded Marshall ? Is it capable of some heavy lifts à la Uberschall and Marshall KK ?

    The ultimate high gain head for my needs?

    Actually I'm waiting for a K-Tre 120 to hit the door in a couple of weeks, I did an extensive search, went through numerous comments, reviews and threads... I wanted an organic warm sound, bold, with clarity and meat, with a nice balance of lowend, tightness and sagginess, a musical clean clean...

    Rane MPE14 or Rocktron Pro Q ?

    Hello brothers in tone ! Looking to get one of these ! Any pros and cons ? Do they add any hum or extra noise ? Do they color the sound in an unpleasant way ? It's for a Rocktron Piranha/Mesa fifty-fifty rig which is mainly for highgain applications.

    Rocktron guitar silencer rack

    What do you guys think of the Rocktron guitar silencer rack ? It seems that Bob Bradshaw praised it, but I'm curious to see if any regular rig talk member owned or used one in the past since I'm about to snag one. I know that Mustaine used one with a jmp1 and tc G-force for Cryptic Writings tour...

    Two rack processors in series without an external mixer ?

    Hi tone friends ! I was wondering if it's possible to run two Rocktron units in series without any external mixer ? For example : you go from the Piranha preamp to an intellifex blackface then to an Intellipitch and finally to a poweramp ? It seems as long as the hush is not activated and the...
