    Help with ##%@% noise gates!!

    I know I need to try one of these, I tried getting together the parts for a clone build, but I never did finish that. It's not an emergency, but it's probably next on the list.

    Help with ##%@% noise gates!!

    It may be, but it's not been my experience with it. I have loved mine, I think it is the G-String II? I have it set up when my clean guitar goes into it first, then it passes on to the rest of my pedal chain. The noise gate section of the pedal is inserted into the effects loop of the amp...

    Hughes and Kettner Triamp MKII with one dead channel...how to troubleshoot? Or good H&K service centers/techs to mail it to?

    I *think* we tried that into the poweramp section of my other Triamp MKII at the time...but I am not sure, it's been a while. Definitely a good way to figure out which section it is in, I will give that a try, thanks!

    Hughes and Kettner Triamp MKII with one dead channel...how to troubleshoot? Or good H&K service centers/techs to mail it to?

    Hi, I have had a H&K Triamp MKII for a long time, maybe 12-13 years. Some time after I got it, channel 3A started to make a horrible noise, it lacks much character, just noise. Almost like a buzzing, but it is so loud as to almost completely overpower the guitar signal and makes the channel...

    "Dream" guitars...

    The Ibanez MMM1. I have had a couple, they are funny (all *rock* baritones that are no longer made have done this), no one knew about them for a really long time (I remember dreaming about owning own when I was 18-20/whatever age when it came out and I still listened to Staind...yea), then they...

    Sound like Deftones from the late 90s/early 2000s

    Well, I have not stopped looking at JMPs (the preamp version) since I saw this. So, thanks for that. :D Anyone care to talk me out of it? I have a Suhr pt-15, closest thing I have ever really had to a Marshall. Is there a point to the JMP when you start talking IR/cabs/does it get me anything...

    "Dream" guitars...

    I know what you mean, a baritone set up well will often be described as piano-like.

    UberKab 4x12

    Wish I had more to add, I have always wanted one, I would probably grab one in a second if it was a good deal and local...but that's not likely. That aside, 4x12s are just way too much money and hassle to ship anymore that buying a cab sight-unseen isn't going to happen. I would love an Uber...

    I have Tele GAS - Who's sportin' one for harder rock?

    i have a 1972 Custom reissue (single in the bridge, oversized fender humbucker/not humbucker thing in the neck), I had the neck re-built by BKP (stupid really, I only did it so I could keep the Fender logo on the pickup cover, but now it has no resale compared to a stock p/up and a Loller, or...

    Mesa 4x12 cabinet issues.

    Dumb question...but are you 101% sure the 8 ohm jack has ever worked since you had it? If it used to work and now does not, you should be able to see something inside, like you were thinking. I know myself; if I really couldn't find anything loose inside, I would probably assume that I had in...

    Single humbucker guitar , separate volume and tone knob or just single ?

    In fairness, you could just push/pull the volume...maybe two different purposes for the switches, the volume pot splits the coil, the tone one puts it out of phase, something alone those lines.

    Suhr Pt-15IR (and a ton of other gear) left outside all night...worth sending it to Suhr?

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Thank you, this actually helps a lot! The morning after when I found the stuff, I asked him why he would leave everything out all night without letting me know? He responded "Well, I wouldn't leave it out all day!" (cute joke, huh?). That is the first and only...

    Selling on Reverb

    I lose money buying and selling gear like most other hobbyists. I rely on it for quickly selling gear, it is quite good for that. agreed. I have never heard of this before...

    Is NAMM going to be exciting again?

    Same, I had not even heard of it until I saw your post. That looks really worth checking out. I hope they keep the 2022 date.

    Suhr Pt-15IR (and a ton of other gear) left outside all night...worth sending it to Suhr?

    I think I will just follow through with this. The ones yelling "dry it and fire it up, pussy cuck!" do not seem nearly as...informed as those recommending service. Then there are some in the middle who just say dry it and play it and it will be fine. I will just have to decide that myself. I...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    And I bet FOH would still talk shit about you. :D 150 watts? Obscene. :p The sound system at RR is truly obscene, I guess it has to be, outside. Never got to play the MKIII, but I have played 99% of my gigs with a Triamp MKII, which I still have, and currently have a Tubemiester deluxe 40, which...

    Powering a Kemper - What are you using?

    Necro-quote, but since this thread has been bumped from the dead..."There is no actual formula from tube to ss watts or vice versa, because the deal is that cranking a ss amp past its clean rating usually sounds terrible, while cranking an all-tube amp past its clean rating results in massive...

    Selling on Reverb

    Just as an anecdotal response from someone who does use the site, and quite a bit over the past year; roughly $30k in purchases and orders each, not only have I personally never had an issue with the way Reverb handled a situation, but their Safe Shipping has saved my ass multiple times with...

    Selling on Reverb

    That is not what he is talking about, here is the situation: Buyer buys bought item. Within 7 days they report an issue to Reverb, they do not want a partial refund, they want a return/refund. Reverb grants the return, or the seller does. Now, according to the claim by the OP, the buyer can...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    That is where I am right now, and I am happy with it. I like it better than a straight sim. But I don't know if it *is* better. I will say, my favorite tones have been captured with a real amp into an IR/load box...but I am also getting slowly better at recording, and that is how I have been...
