If you manage to pull that off, make sure to share the recipe :)

I’ve been generally digging stacking a Boss SD-1w and GE-7 (in that order) out in front of my 79 2203 and 76 2204. But the GE-7, in spite of being modded, does add noise that even my ISP G-String II is struggling with. And I’m using up two board positions and two power taps. Anyone know of...

Haha, thanks! That's 24-7 for me :)

1979 JMP in the house! It’s a 2203. I was naughty :)

For any of you that have experience with boosting 2203s and 2204s, have you ever compared the two? Yesterday was a 2203, and was delivering the goods. How different would a similarly boosted 2204 be?

Had a rehearsal today, and noticed that the facility had a 77 JMP 2203 as a rental amp. So I grabbed that for the day. I also had my wife’s Quad Cortex with me, to play around with. With the surprise 2203 in hand, I stuck the QC in front, selected the SD-1 clone it has in it, put the gain on 0...

I do have a friend with a SLO-30, and I should give it a try. As far as the Monomyth goes, and whether it would be too unforgiving for me…if I’m being honest, my chops a couple of years ago just weren’t anything to write home about. I still feel like I’m a hot mess with broken fingers most of...

I could really use some opinions here. I’m in the market for a new head. Here’s what I need to have: • A single channel of glorious 80s hot rodded Marshall. Rich, saturated, thunderous high gain. • A buffered loop. Tube or Metro Zero Loss style. • A killer master volume. I need to be able to...

Yeah, we've been talking back and forth about it. This particular module gave him an obscene amount of trouble. I felt really bad about it. Props to him, though, he kept at it until it behaved in every test he put it through. What was driving him nuts was that once he would get it sorted...

Yup, this is actually my module he's referring to. It was a Treadplate that I had him turn into a modded Stein+ w/ custom graphics. This particular module was in such poor shape, and caused him so many problems, I think he would have rather hurled it out the window than keep going with it. It...

Is that even needed, though? I've always just ordered right off of their website. Every possible color combination is available that way.

I'm actually wondering what kind of fun I can have with the graphic EQ on the IICP...like, one of the sliders is 750hz...I'm wondering what kind of Tom Scholz-y fun could be had with that...

I find that I get different results than most with the Synergy modules, and don't really dial them in like a lot of the YouTube players do. I've had excellent results with the SLO, Powerball (red channel) and VH4, and I go for high gain 80s rock and metal tones. They are absolutely delivering...

Well, I found a Mesa OS 4x12 (slanted straight), bought it, and sure enough, that did the trick. Of course I had to make some EQ adjustments for apartment volume, but suffice to say, this fixed the problem I was having. I am now going to buy a second one to match it. I got rid of the 73...

I've decided to cancel the order for the Mesa Vintage 30s for now, since I found one of the oversized Mesa cabs for sale nearby. I'm going to pick it up this Thursday. Fingers crossed that this does what I'm looking for when I get it home!
