Laptops. Plural. I imagine those were the backups. I also imagine if they're big enough to have road crew then the road crew would be responsible for their equipment. I'm betting they didn't just leave it at the truck stop. Do we even know if they had physical amps, modelers or were they...

It's probably to do with click track control of lighting, stage FX, samples And countless other elements. Click tracks arent just about timing for the musicians and it's not about drummers not being able to keep time. Like many things, tech has made apparent big production value available to...

I can only comment on my own, but I like an ab/y with ground lift, polarity switch (maybe not necessary with two amps with same) and an isolated second out. This is before it goes into my mimiq. The mimiq then feeds both amps inputs. I do FX either in the loop, or via lineouts from the amp to...

Well I mean.. you've got a fan in the Reload sitting right below whatever's going on in the CAB-m. Interference isn't out of the question

What are the input levels like on the CAB-M? I tend to run mine after my loadbox.

I'd argue the Gotoh is as good, but either is way better value than an OFR, and, strangely, the 1000 series.

Edit: Updated Seeing as it's a minor discussion on the American series Jackson thread, its maybe worth going over the main current production types for clarity. The OFR UK price: £359, 1984 version: £500. (Andertons) The Original German made by Schaller Floyd. The Sean Connery of Floyds...

If it helps any, I use a Boss Core whose detune/micropitch is presumably shared with the MD500, and it gets the sound I'm after,which are generally sounds that had eventide micropitch shifting involved

I've a TAD Biasmaster. Honestly, things got quicker, easier and more stable when I just jumpered one of the probes to my Multimeter with croc clips and set the meter to mV. The biasmaster seemed to run away on the readings. So from that experience I'd say get a decent single probe with an...

That kinda happened by accident 🤣 but I was not disappointed one day when I looked at them on the rack and realised I had most bases covered. I thought I was past pointy headstocks, but no. The ESP itch is scritching me, so that's gona be a next thing. You'd be suprised how often I just plug...

It was a while and Many versions to get there. I knew I wanted to mix elements of mk1 (no chunky baffles) and mk2 (50/50 split of the front fascia) JMP headshells, with an offset style. But the colour combo eluded me until I saw a custom boogie in baby/carolina blue with brown grill cloth...

Dan does have what he calls a simple clean option on his price list, however this one is blackface twin derived which is another option that wasn't on the price list at the time (might be now). Obviously you can't crank the master too high because it's still a Superlead pattern power amp, so...

I'm honestly Sceptical they do. The transformers back then were nothing special, they weren't custom high spec things like Deyoungs for SLOs, they were more or less off the shelf.

Dan used to source amps locally (to the UK) if you asked. Would take a lot of hassle out of the process because he accepts the responsibility of finding a good one. If I remember, any bench time spent unf**king prior bad mods/work is charged, so if he finds you one, he'll try and find you the...

Nah, just fancied something completely different. The old headshell is up in my attic. I may put a clone chassis in it someday
