    Melodic Rock Fest 4

    This past Saturday I attended the Melodic Rock Fest in Arlington Hts, IL. Andrew from http://melodicrock.com/ runs the fest and it was pretty cool. House of Shakira and HEAT from Sweden stole the show as far as carrying the torch for new melodic/hard rock. Bombay Black from the US really...

    Surreal Amps

    Is Jerry still making amps? Does anyone have one? A couple friends are looking at buying a new amp and for the price, Jerry's stuff looks good. I remember some interesting posts of his, but I never heard of anyone being ripped off by him. Thoughts?

    Rare Electric Guitars

    I think these guitars were briefly talked about here before but I do not remember for sure. Has anyone here bought a guitar from http://www.rareelectricguitar.com/? I know it's Asian and I get that the electronics are not top shelf but some of the prices are pretty good even if you have to...

    NAD!!

    Actually x2 but I do not have the second yet. I sold my BE-100 because I simply cannot carry it due to my back. And I still gig 2-3x per month. I have a Kemper and it is unreal and will be my main live rig but I missed seeing a traditional amp behind me. I saw a blurb here about Mahaffay amps...

    Crazy expensive autobiography

    Believe it or not I am a huge Mott the Hoople fan, have been since 1976. I saw Ian Hunter's book; "Diary of a Rock and Roll Star" and thought I'd go to Amazon and grab a copy. Wow, $160 and up!!! If anyone knows where I can buy a digital copy, please let me know. :rock: :rock:

    Does anyone know what kind of V Ken Logan plays? Here it looks like a Gibson but I have watched some of their videos and it does not look like a Gibson there. Thanks.

    Floyd posts in old Kramers

    I had a 1987 Kramer Pacer and the Floyd posts wore out the hole they were in and tilted forward as you'd expect. I just saw another Kramer on Ebay with the same issue. Is that a common problem with wooden bodies of the type Kramer Pacers were made out of? When you think about it, the posts are...

    Metaltronix distortion pedal

    Does this sound good to you? :confused: For some reason I want to like Lee Jackson's stuff but after 6-7 of his amps and one Marshall he modded, it never got better than ok. The only time I got a Metaltronix amp to sound good was when I stuffed a Friedman modded JCM 800 chassis into a...

    The realities of life

    I just came back from the neurosurgeon's office and life just gave me a slap in the face. My back is a huge mess, a previous fusion did not work, the disk above it is crushed, leaving 1 disk in decent shape below my rib cage. The surgery to repair this is very risky due to a pain pump I have...

    Pink Taco after 4 months

    I have to say, I am really digging my PT. I never thought I would like a 20 watt amp (it does not have the big amp presence), but this thing keeps getting better the longer I own it. It is not a super high gain amp but it will do early Metallica with ease (Think BE with Sat and you can get an...

    I dialed in the Pink Taco

    :rock: :rock: I had to play with different cabs and adjust the amp by ear not by eyes. I am very pleased with it, it sounds just like it's big brother, the BE-100 only it is a lot lighter. Here is an iphone clip with just a little reverb in the loop: _vpK8NbNquM

    BadCat Unleash with Pink Taco

    Dave, do you see any reason I shouldn't use the Bad Cat Unleash with my Pink Taco? I need a solo boost and this seems like the ideal way to get one. Thanks -
