    PRS Custom 22 Tuner Issues

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my low E tuner on my Custom 22. The shaft that the string goes through isnt attached properly any more, it just pops out. If I get it just in the right place the tension of the string keeps it held in when restringing but it's definitely time to replace. I'm...

    Running a 16ohm and 8ohm cab together

    I'm using an 8ohm Diezel FL v30 cab with my VH4, sounds great. For bigger gigs it'd be nice to somehow incorporate my 16ohm Marshall 1960a as I'm the only guitarist in the band. Is there any safe way to do this? I've already done a bit of research and discovered the Weber Z Matcher, although I...

    Distortion pedal with built in volume/solo boost?

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can suggest any high gain distortion pedals with a built in solo/volume boost? I just need something for live situations that require minimal gear and/or when I need to travel light. Only ones I can think of are the Triple Wreck and the Metal Muff. Any ideas? Thanks

    Midi Moose Users

    Hi guys, tried finding an answer for this everywhere but can't seem to get an answer. When I run my Midi Moose with a battery, is there a way to turn it off? The Led stays on constantly and I can't find a way to turn it off other than removing the battery (hugely inconvenient when it's...

    Boss Katana KTN100 (100 watt 1x12) Advice

    Hi guys I know the general consensus on the Katana head is that it's great. I'm getting a bit tired of turning up to smaller gigs with either a huge and heavy Diezel rig or just going direct with amp modellers and relying on the sound man. I need something in between for smaller venues with...

    Head above cab or cab above head?

    Hi guys. I'm having a live in flightcase built for my Diezel Vh4 and Diezel 2x12. I'm not sure if it would be better to have the cab above the head, it'd bring it closer to ear height which could be a good thing live on stage? I'm also having a pedal board slot and 4u of rack space which I...

    Vh4 Channel 2 Tuner Mute Question

    Hi, I'd like to use the insert on channel 2 on my Vh4 as a tuner out/mute as suggested in the manual. I don't know how to 'connect the tip and sleeve internally' on a jack myself. Is there an easy way to do this? Is there a jack you can buy with the sleeve and tip already connected? Many...

    Delay pedal for vh4 parallel loop

    Hi guys Basically the only effect I need right now is a delay. I don't want to go rackmount but I would like to be able to turn it on and off via my midi fs. This means I need to find a delay that works well in a parallel loop. I had real trouble with my mesa rectifiers with phasing issues with...

    Floyd Rose FRX on Gibson Explorer

    Does anyone know if the new FRX Floyd Rose trems will work on a Gibson Explorer (pro). It says on their website that it's compatible with Lps, SGs and Vs but nothing about Explorers. I can't seem to find any more info on it. Thanks

    Vh4 and octave pedal..

    Hi, Is it ok to run an octave pedal in the channel insert for channel 3? I'm asking as I've heard different opinions as to whether the insert loops are placed before or after the pre amp and usually I'd run this pedal before the distortion. Thanks

    VH4 Power Valve Questions

    Hi, I need some new valves for my VH4. Never had to buy them before, let alone rebias! The amp stopped making any sound and 2 of the valve failure leds came on the back, so hopefully it is just the valves. I think they have been in the amp for at least 3 years. I'm in the UK, it currently has...

    Vh4 Channel 4 Question

    Hi, Just wondering, does anyone here use channel 4 for rhythm playing? I find channel 3 quite stiff and lacking in gain. It's probably partly due to the fact I've been using a lot of modeling (Pods into power amps, Vetta etc) for the past 10 years, or possibly I need a re-valve. I have been...

    Using the VH4 thru jack in a dual amp set up...

    Hi, Does anyone here have any experience using the thru out jack on the VH4? I'm thinking of running a dual amp rig with my 900 SLX. Is there tone loss due to using the output? Done quite a bit of searching but can't find much info on it. I even think the manual is pretty vague. Thanks Jake
