It sounds great!

A friend sent me a Sweetwater link recently to a Captor X asking my opinion on it. A few days later someone from Sweetwater both called and texted me asking if they could answer any questions about the Captor X for me. That's just wildly uncool. I cleared my cookies and asked to be taken off of...

That's how I feel about my early 2000's Mesa 4x12 that everyone seems so excited about. I still have it out of nostalgia for all of the shows I've played with it, but it always sounded brittle and brash no matter what amps (dozens over the years) I plugged into it.

They're cool speakers for sure. I have 6402's in my Wizard 4x12. They work well with brighter Marshally voiced amps.

My old Edwards was pretty much a Les Paul shaped guitar of 1000 series LTD quality. It was fine, but I sold it and don't miss it. A Les Paul Classic is just a better guitar all around. That's not knocking Edwards at all, but it's not an apples to apples comparison. Get the Gibson and don't look...

Came here to post this. My all-time favorite guitar tone.

I used to work for a retailer that was one of the first to pick up the Quilter line, and I did a bunch of YouTube demos on them back in the day. I never really cared for the drive channels, but as a clean pedal platform they're quite cool. I even owned a Quilter Aviator head for a while and...

The Koko sounded good before I took out the resister, now it sounds hilariously good. Interested to hear your findings. Also, for you guys smarter about this stuff than I am, is this same resistor present on the Smallbox? I'm so over the moon with what removing it did to my BE-100 that now I'm...

Interesting. No volume difference on mine between BE and HBE after removing the resister and replacing it with a wire.

I was genuinely considering letting it go because as great as it sounds, it just didn't work for my style of playing. I always go back to my Splawn or Wizard. This simple change though gives me more of that tightness and punch that I love about those other amps, but with a great loop and a good...

Holy crap! I just pulled the resister between the volume and treble pot, and I'm floored. Way more open, aggressive and punchy. I can also hit it harder with an overdrive or boost without it smushing out. Thanks so much for this!

I may give this a try. Do I need to replace it with a jumper wire from the treble wiper to the master volume or can I just pull the resister out?

If I could snap my fingers and play like anyone, it would be Andy. He's absolutely incredible.

The last two I had done were when I was still in Portland, OR a few years ago. I had an explorer done for $590 and my Les Paul Custom done with stainless steel for $700. That's definitely on the higher end, but it's a pricey city and their overhead is high. You can get it done for a lot less in...

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to turn 37 because of this very scene. "I'm 37" "What?" "I'm 37, I'm not old"
