    Replace Boss SD-1w and GE-7 with just one pedal?

    I’ve been generally digging stacking a Boss SD-1w and GE-7 (in that order) out in front of my 79 2203 and 76 2204. But the GE-7, in spite of being modded, does add noise that even my ISP G-String II is struggling with. And I’m using up two board positions and two power taps. Anyone know of...

    Recommendations for single channel high gain head?

    I could really use some opinions here. I’m in the market for a new head. Here’s what I need to have: • A single channel of glorious 80s hot rodded Marshall. Rich, saturated, thunderous high gain. • A buffered loop. Tube or Metro Zero Loss style. • A killer master volume. I need to be able to...

    Hey all, I think I may have a pair of 4x12s on my hands that I just simply do not like: • 1982 Marshall JCM800 slant, w/ the original G12-65 quad. This cab is very dark. I was always puzzled as to why I've seen so many people refer to these speakers as being dark, but I've been experimenting...

    Chasing that stereo rack sound...with pedals? With both pedals AND rack gear?

    Hey all, I've recently started thinking heavily about getting that 80s stereo rack sound. For cleans, for high gain rhythm, for solos, all of it. I started messing with a stereo rig using a King Kong 50 (for the preamp and power amp) and a 100 Watt 68 Plexi (power amp / loop return IN). I got...

    Smoothest high gain amps?

    Hey all! I'm thinking of adding another amp to the arsenal. Whatever I add, I'd like it to be the smoothest, most polished high gain amp I can get. So, I thought I'd ask everyone their opinions! What I mean by smooth high gain - no harsh frequencies, nothing "sharp" about it, not overly stiff...

    Need pickup suggestions for 6 guitars (caution: long post)

    Hi everyone! This is my first post after lurking for awhile. I'm on a pickup quest. I've got 6 guitars. I'm going to provide lots of information, which will hopefully be beneficial. The guitars: • 1984 Gibson Union Jack Explorer. I believe it to be an alder body and a maple neck, with an ebony...
