Question for Helios owners Hot input, 80s mode...at band volume do you have issues controlling unwanted squealing feedback with the gain cranked up pretty high? I just got the amp and only had a quick run at good volume, but it seemed really sensitive to gain and went nuts in close proximity way...

What's out there besides the Jackson PC1. I don't think the neck with no inlays would work for me. Otherwise I like the features and looks of those. Diggin the idea of the onboard sustainer system.

What is the most pissed off, raw, aggressive high gainer in the Marshall tone camp?

They are different right? How so? I need another amp like a hole in the head but now that I have the 20th I am left wondering what that sought after blue of the 101b sounds like as I never played one.

I bought the 20th XTC from Reza. I was only able to fire it up at low volume when the family went to bed last night so I really can't comment a whole heck of a lot. That said, even just at low volume there is something really cool about how it feels and responds. I see a ton of useful...

Would it be safe to run 5881s in a 6L6 basesd 20th XTC? And would it arguably mix in some EL34 vibe in the mids? My understanding of the 5881s is that they have some EL34 characteristics, but are in the 6L6 family.

More specifically the 20th Anniversary XTC. I have a Splawn 4x12 with Small Blocks at the moment. Just wondering if that cab would allow for a fair assessment of the tone or if they are really much better paired with a particular cab or speaker.

In one of my bands the lead singer plays acoustic guitar for any songs requiring it. He has a Takamine with onboard electronics, but has said the input gets a bit flaky and crackles at times. So he ditched it and has been sticking one of those sound hole pickups in it. He plugs that right...

Can you guys educate me on the difference of the early 101Bs compared to those after I believe it was 2001? I can't imagine the early Red channels didn't have enough gain but that is what it says...revised to have more gain. Are there other differences? Do the early ones really lack gain? Can...

Seems like the onboard boost is more of a gain boost and not meant to add volume for solos. I like to have a footswitchable higher volume of my tone for leads. How do you accomplish this on the Bogner 101b and/or 20th Anniversary? Looks like the loop is line level and I have no interest in...

I decided to pull the trigger on a new Quickrod fully loaded with the all the options and put my deposit in today. I like my 09 a lot. I like the idea of some of the changes on them since mine, plus having the ability to toggle the B+, the new/old, and drop the mids to be more like a Nitro just...

So the new options for the Quickrod look pretty cool. The B+ thing for the variac feel is not new so I would imagine some folks on here have experience with that, but what about the new/old switch and the Mid switch? It would be nice to hear these things in action or at the very least get some...

Does anyone happen to know where I can order a replacement Power switch for MOD50? I had a suggestion of a replacement part from Mouser, but it turns out it only has 2 terminals so I am back to the drawing board on finding the proper replacement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btNZ-q82_KU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEHzVy5LaQ8 New Replica offering from Jaded Faith. Silverado shoots to capture the vibe of the Marshall Jubilee. I never played a Jubilee and can't say how 'close' it is to the real deal, but I can say it sounds and...

I got my Mod50 loaded with the VX and SL2 modules. I didn't have a lot of time to play, but enough to plug in my LP and give all the channels a run through. I was really surprised by the VX module. On Ch A I got a pretty nice clean that had just the slightest hint of break up, but was nice...

Its been a while since I have had an amp w/out a built in solo boost volume control. In the past I have used an EQ set to boost or some other clean boost type of pedal to bump up volume for solos w/out changing gain level or tone. I understand the Mod50 has a line level only loop so many of...

Does anyone have any first hand experience with both of these to offer some insight as to how they compare? Mainly curious about the high gain tones so maybe more specifically a Mod50 with SL2 vs the Renegade Ch2. I like the Renegade, but mine has a wonky tube mix pot on Ch2 so its gotta go...

Channel 2 only, when I have the Tube Mix knob all the way to the 6L6 side and up to about 9:00 the volume jumps up and down. I can make it go in and out of this by playing with the knob a bit. All the way to the EL34 side and it doesn't do it. Doesn't do it on Ch1 either. Going to see if I...
