    I am going to have to start looking for some 412 cabs that I don't need, but want, lol

    Marshall 2555x - are the current ones different than original reissue run?

    The rhythm clip adds diodes. the lead channel adds LED clipping and another half of a 12AX7 as an additional gain stage.

    Re-tube Mark IV or wait?

    I would just stick with what you have. Mark IVs are known to be biased really cold on the inner set of power tubes and less cold on the outer set. When I needed power tubes, I ended up replacing the bad one and put a couple of the those in the inner slots and put new ones in the outer slots. I...

    What's Up With Expensive Cabs?

    For used on FB market place I either see really cheap 412 cabs like the lower series Marshall cabs or vintage cabs for crazy money. Very little in between and honestly not a ton of listings in my area for 412s at all.

    Do you stick with one brand pickup?

    "Handwired" 4 Watt Vox AC4......

    I wish there were more kit builds options like from Mojotone on Vox amps like the AC4 and AC10 SRT. They have an AC15. I am following a thread on TGP on these new Vox amps and there is talk of the new AC10 HW having a transistor as one of the gain stages. I looked up the specs and sure enough...

    2013 Gibson at its finest, WTF?

    My buddy brought over his 2013 Gibson Les Paul Gold top. He had got some Suhr Aldrich pickups from me and they weren't sounding right, very weak. After some testing, I found the stock pickups were wired wrong. They put the coils out of phase when in standard series mode. Both the bridge and the...

    "Handwired" 4 Watt Vox AC4......

    The new Vox handwired amps are trickling out, seen the AC4 and the AC10. They are said to have a pretty thin cab, so some have been reported to be warped. The AC4 has mostly gotten good review form what I have seen, but I wish they would have skipped the effects loop and reverb.

    TU3 goes out of tune vs Polytune

    I like the switchable buffer on the Peterson Strobostomp HD. I have used a TC Polytune and it was good, but I don't want to support Music Tribe.

    I like that I don't get banned for stupid stuff.

    Brian Wilson died :(

    RIP Brian What a life. Amazingly gifted and also tortured at the same time. So happy that he was able to complete Smile decades later.

    Got a temp ban on TGP

    That is a pretty weak excuse for a ban. You just acknowledged that you couldn't go into other issues due to TGP rules, I don't get how that is ban worthy.

    Bucket list amps you haven’t gotten to play yet, much less own?

    Hiwatt DR103 or DR504, but I did play my first clone a while back Never played a true Bogner, not counting the Alchemist Fender Tube Tonemaster from the 90s Laney SuperGroup That is what comes to mind.
