If you like T-Top type output and sound, and aren’t squeamish on price: try the Throbak ‘70 Select set. A slightly overwound (7.8k) T-Top with a short A2 magnet for a little more mid presence. Low output clarity goes perfectly with my VH4. I play mostly in D or C# and this set just KILLS. I’ve...

Halloween bump

Sunday bump 😎

Bump and a price drop, someone help me clean out my music room. 😁

FL cabs respond much faster IME, are very “pointy” (fizzy in your face top end and need to be eq’d for differently) and the bass is somewhat subdued, doesn’t surround you the way a RL does. With my VH4 I prefer RL by a mile, and keep it hooked to a Mesa Recto 412 since getting one a few months...

Cool video! My “The one that got away” was a Matchless JJ-30 I played sometime in the early 2000’s. Most sensitive and “connected” amp I’ve ever played. This from a metal player who loves Diezels. 😂 That thing with a Strat just blew me away. Couldn’t afford it then, can’t find one now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agreed, something is wrong. I’ve had Herb Mk2 in the past and now have a Mk3 and they RIIIIP! Yours sound as you stated: weak. Let us know what BAD says.

Anyone using a Universal Audio Apollo interface with high impedance headphones? Just ordered an X4 and gave my old Focusrite Scalett and my studio headphones to my son. Wondering if the Apollo has enough power to run a 300 ohm set of studio headphones from the headphone jack? Anybody running a...

Labor Day bump!

Weekend bump

Have a like new, bought this summer Diezel FS7HE foot switch for the Herbert and D-moll. Includes box and Diezel sticker, just like if you bought it new retail. No scratches, dings or dents. I received it new and tested it and then put it away. Uses a standard 1/4”guitar cable and does not...

My first American made guitar, a 1996 Fender Am Std Stratocaster I bought new after mowing lawns all summer. That and my father’s Telecaster he bought at the same time and never learned to play so gifted me about 5 years ago.

To follow up: my brand new Mesa straight Recto 4x12 arrived today! (It‘s a Standard or “Oversized”) Backordered it a little over a month ago when I started this thread. Only had time to check it out a little before I had to leave for work, no break-in time, just get right into it with my VH4 and...

I love my 1960B (from the late 90’s) but ONLY with Marshall or Marshall-based amps. All my other amps are shrill and lacking mids with that cab compared to others. Truthfully I prefer the 1960B with Marshall amps over the 1960BV, which some think is strange. Marshalls seem to benefit from the...

Alright, I’m in. With the supply line problems everyone is having I just went ahead and ordered, should be here in about 2 weeks. Dealer said Mesa isn’t taking any new orders till they get caught up with supply chain problems so looks like it’s time to get while the getting’s good. Thanks guys.
