...tame the brightness of a guitar? I just did it and I am not sure I hear much of a difference. I do think that the output isn't the same though. Sounds like it isn't as much as before but I could be inventing that in my head. Thoughts?

Just got my new set of BKP Aftermath 7s today and put them in. Really digging the black bolts on black bobbins. Looks cool I think. Tonewise, I looooove them. Finally found a set of pups that this guitar likes. They have a much smoother midrange than the Painkiller I had in the bridge. They are...

Finally got around to making a proper clip of my new amp. :rock: This amp has an added 4th tube gain stage, sweepable midrange with 2 different ranges, sweepable depth, and glass control (power amp tweaker). Also has full clean channel that is the best clean tone I have in any amp I own...

...and realized how much I love my Fatbottom 412s w/V30 in them. I guess I have made the switch completely from rear loaded to front loaded cabs. I prefer them by far for modern metal tones. The low end is tighter and more focused than a rear loaded cab and I overall just like the sound more...

...is TWO Fortin amps!! :rawk: \:D/ :clap: :2thumbsup: :worship: Custom Cali ++ has landed and it is fucking killer. Been wanking away this morning and it is fucking ridiculous. Between my two Fortins, I have zero amp gas and am completely happy. This amp is so versatile it's unreal. So...

I played 5 shows in Bahrain 2002. Fun town. :rock:

So I, along with a lot of others, got in on the BRJ Black Friday guitar sale last November. Great deal on some awesome guitars, no doubt. Very cool of Bernie to make such an offer and for that I am grateful. I was told I would receive the guitar in 90-120 days. I knew that was never gonna...

Here is my new amp I am calling the Violent Cali ++. This is no mod, it is a complete rebuild. Mike continues to do original new things even in his amp rebuilds and this amp really shows that off. :thumbsup: It is a true one-off as there are things on this amp that have never been done on any...

Great alternative to rack mounted switching systems for those with pedalboards they want to have on the floor instead of mounted in a rack. :thumbsup: Anyone ever used one? Looks awesome to me. :rock: http://www.musicomlab.co.kr/efxmkiii.htm

I have had this rig (used to be an Intellifex before the GM2) since the mid 90s and used it for at least a couple hundred shows. Always loved it but went back to heads a few years ago. Well, I decided to dig it out and rebuild it and wow, it sounds fucking killer. :rock: All new tubes...

This is going to be killer. :rock: Drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ADRENALINE MOB) has joined forces with guitarist/vocalist John Sykes (WHITESNAKE, BLUE MURDER, THIN LIZZY) and an as-yet-undisclosed bassist in a brand new power trio. The project is currently recording...

Thought this might be cool to have here on RT. Not sure how many 7 string players we have here on RT, I know there are a few that I recognize from SS.org. I have been getting way more into 7's over the last year or so even though I have owned a 7 string guitar for 10 years. It just never got...

Loaded with G1275Ts. I hadn't played through those speakers in a looooong time as I usually have my own cabs but this being SXSW week and all, most shows have cabs provided. I plugged in and holy fuck, did the Pumpkin sound badass through that cab. :rock: It was awesome. Got shitloads of...

Hey everybody! Here is a demo I did for Kyle Rhodes of his Colossus 100 watt tube amp. It is a killer amp with a lot more going on then what I did in the video but I only had time to knock out this one clip. The demo is of the high gain brutal nature (natch ;) ) but this amp also has an...

I have a Legend cab with Celestion 65's in it from around 1980. It sounds soooooo freaking good. I haven't played on that cab in a while but did a bit last night. Forgot how good it sounds. I would love to find another quad of those, not the reissues but original ones in good condition. :yes...

Hey all - just got this G&L Asat Classic and I am having a blast with it so I decided to do a quick vid. I am playing through the Evil Pumpkin and getting killer low gain tones, this amp continues to amaze me after owning it for 2 years now. Anyway, enjoy. Let me know what you think! :thumbsup...

Some of y'all have probably seen it but this is sooooo fuckng funny I had to share. Worth every second, so blow off work and check it out. :lol: :LOL: ZlKzlfqmzpQ

Should be a cool show. Looking forward to it. :rock:

Anyone heard anything about them? I am a huge fan of 6CA7s wonder if they are anywhere close to the old Philips ones I used to have. I also really dig 6550s and with the SED price increase it is nice to have another alternative. Thoughts?

I forgot to put this in my NAMM thread. I went by the Anderson booth and checked out some guitars and was blown away. I used to be a dealer for them and always loved their guitars but seeing them this year reminded me how completely badass they are. IMHO, they are the absolute best boutique...
