Hi there, strange question maybe: has anyone ever tried to use a 2 - 3 m long cable between his transmitter and antenna to be able to mount the antenna in a higer position and keep the transmitter in it's rack ? I've bought a rackmixer + an IEM unit to be able to use headphones from the FOH...

Hey guys, who has hands-on experience with both of these speakers and can tell me how they compare ? I have one of my 1960 cabs loaded with old Celestions and I really like them. I also had them in a 2x12 and that worked great too. Since it seems nearly impossible to find more of those speakers...

Hi all, who has first hand experience with those and how they compare ? I read completely opposing stories but a lot of them are no real comparison because different amps and cabs are used for instance. What I'm really looking for is opinions from someone who actually swapped them out in an...

Hey all, to prevent groundloops in my 2-amp setup I'm using a Lehle P-split at the moment but I'm not totally satisfied with the tone I'm getting. It just differs too much from the original signal. So I've been looking into alternatives and especially Olaf keeps recommending the Palmer PLI-01...

Damn ! was looking around on Youtube and found some strange comments so I investigated a bit further and came up with this: Gary Moore (1952 – 2011) dies in Spain 06 Feb 2011 Hot Press has learned of the death of Gary Moore. The legendary Belfast-born guitarist died in his sleep last night...

Hey all, just for the hell of it I've been experimenting a bit with Gold Lion KT66's in my SLO. Much to my surprise I liked them biased to 20-25 mA each where normally I'd be running my JJ 6L6's much higher. It seems that running the KT66 high adds some really nasty artificial harmonics and...

For my SLO I'd like to try some KT66's. Right now, I have JJ 6L6GC's in it and that's the only reference I have. I've been reading as much as possible but there doesn't seem to be a general concensus on what is "the best" modern KT66. I'm leaning towards the Gold Lions, don't ask me why, just...

Hey guys, I've come across a JCM800 cab that supposedly is loaded with G12H100 speakers. Since I already have a few of them and really like them I was wondering if anyone knows what type exactly is in that cab ( if they are, or have been once, stock speakers). I know there are several...

So, I like to play my SLO and VTM in tandem through a chorus. The VTM is a single channel. So when I switch from the crunch to the leadchannel of the SLO they get out of phase. I'm sure I can build something that changes the phase on the speakerleads on the fly but I'm worried the OT's aren't...

Hi everyone, I recently bought a H&K Duotone head which has the Ruby tubes in it. This is a rather bright amp so I went reading EL34 reviews. Some say the Winged C's have more velvety like, maybe more subdued highs (which would suit me obviously). Is there anyone with firsthand experience that...

Anyone can compare them ? I'm considering an SLO but the price makes it an expensive gamble if I don't like it. Would an SP77 through a 2/50/2 get me close enough to make a judgement ? I'd be going for rock/classic-rock tones using hb equipped guitars. Thanks

Hi all, can anyone tell me from their own experience how good or bad this eq is ? I once had a Boss GE7 for a few days and couldn't get rid of it quick enough due to the very weird things it did to my tone even with all the sliders at zero. Because of that I'm a little worried this might do...

Hi all, could those of you who have experience with the Dunlop rackwah please share your opinions ? I'm also very interested in hearing about the build in volume function. The manual says it has a relais true bypass. Is it transparent when switched off ? The Jim Dunlop site mentions a price...

Hi people, I'm normally residing at the amps-forum but the question below doesn't generate a lot of answers/tips over there. Anyone here who might be able to help out ? Thanks ! I have 2 old Marshall Bluesbreaker pedals which I like a lot but they have 2 problems which, to me, limits their...
