I'm going to buy repairs so my son & wife's cars pass inspection.

No, I don't use noise gates. If had too, just plugged into the amp with no added gain, then that would tell me that the mod is not for me. The work itself is really easy for a good tech to do. I'm sure they would be happy to do it. lol $$$ Your basically just adding a few caps and couple...

FWIW- I did the JEL mods on my 2203 and turned IT back to stock. Why? Well, even though the mods are easy and sounded cool at bedroom levels, it was very noisy - noise that comes with the mods. When I used it at rehearsal and at gigs, the JEL mod, was too much. Too much hiss and gain. Stock is...

Yep. Most of them sound generally the same and are way overpriced. I learned to just go with the pickups that came with my guitar, even the Squier pickups! Deepest rabbit hole / money pit you'll ever fall into. Good luck!

I don't understand all the hype or what is so difficult about that riff, especially the swing of it. :dunno:

Take your time and take it one step at a time. No rush. You'll get a million different answers on how to do one simple thing. Watch YouTube videos and Shorts (there a100s of them) and decide what method works best for YOU and what makes you feel most confident in doing. Avoid Stewmac - they...

Overdrive?

Buying a pedal to fill a space....interesting logic.

JCM 800 + SD-1 = Just about every 80s hair / metal guiatist's rig back in the 80s /90s. What an original sound. LOL Cool videos! Thanks for sharing.

All this VH tone chasing from newbies just discovering him & his brown sound is getting really silly after all these years. Just Google it. It's not hard to dial in that sound with a PLEXI or 2203.

Not music related but Eduard isn't shipping to the US either now. They're in the Czech Republic. They manufacture scale models and accessories. What a drag. They make killer models and that's my wintertime weekend morning fun. I can still buy from US retailers but I'd like to order right from them.

No. I have a few cheap guitars with cheap hardware, and they sound great for gigging.
