From what I am gathering, the Marvel Mod is done with a board people were getting from someone on a forum? Are they still around and can someone point me in the right direction?

Whenever I try to hit an amp with a boost out front it always seems to thin out the low end. I tried all sorts of settings with my Cusack Screamer into my Helios yesterday and none of them sounded good. It took away from the character and feel of the amp too much. I know a lot of people use...

Anyone try one of these? Looks to just be the oversized 2x12 with a V30 and a Creamback 65 instead of 2 V30s. I am trying to get my hands on an OS2x12 to use with a Helios, Mark IV and a 20th Shiva (but most likely trading that for a 101b). May have to bite the bullet and get a new cab and...

So I have a guy willing to sell and ship an oversized Bogner 2x12, but he has not been able to find a box to ship it in. Custom packing by FedEx kills the deal. So does anyone have one laying around taking up too much space and collecting dust they would be willing to part with and send to...

Head with KT88s. Got it a few days ago and had some time to open it up last night. Only played through my Splawn 4x12 as my Bogner V30 4x12 is on our gear trailer. Very cool amp. That Bogner grind is really addicting and makes me want to play AIC. Not much I can add to what has been well...

I think I have a problem. There I admitted it. But I think I am in the wrong place if reversing the trend is the goal. 20th Shiva on the way

So I just bought a 20th Shiva head so by some time next week I'll have this figured out for myself, but I am really curious how the boost works. On the XTC I know the boost on blue and red adds gain, but not volume. On the Shiva I see there is a separate volume control for the boost, but it...

I have had a Furman SPB8 for years. I don't use the 1/4" Jack's as I find them very noisy, but the 9v power spots and the 3 120v plugs up top are very convenient and allow me to power everything. Well sort of...I use a Boss tuner and daisy chain chord to reach a few that are too far from the 9v...

I've been at this for 26 years now and got to thinking about all of the amps I have been through. Going to document here while I can still recall them all in what I believe is chronological order. Feel free to join in. 8" Hondo practice amp Peavey Super Chorus 212 Pignose Fender Dual Showman...

Nothing really new or too enlightening here, but I'll share any way. I have had an interest in these amps for years, but I was always a bit put off by the consensus that they are difficult to dial in. I have also been addicted to Marshall based sounds for quite a while and everything else...

Picking up a Mark IV locally. Kicking around getting a 2x12 to run it through at home as all I have now is a crappy Jet City 1x12. I have a Splawn 4x12 I leave at our rehearsal spot and a Bogner 4x12 with V30s that stays on our trailer for shows. My thinking is that the Mark will work best with...

Maybe this already does exist somewhere, but I have yet to come across this idea. Tube Screamer type circuit on one side, Line level type boost on the other. One box, classic tube screamer controls on the left, simple MXR 401 like dB boost level knob on the right. One stomp switch that...

Interested in picking up a Mesa Mark amp soon. Been stuck on modded Marshall type amps for the past 10 years and feel like trying something different. I never played through a Mark, but heard a Mark IV live a few years back and was really impressed with the tone. I think the whole thing with...

I am fairly midi illiterate. Since the gafc is back ordered a while can my HD500 act as the footswitch for now?

So I've got an issue that's become fairly consistent. Over the years towards the end of a full nights gig I would occasionally get leg cramps and sometimes hand cramps where my hand would cramp and basically lock up. It's starting to happen every show. I try to hydrate properly every day...

So I recently got a second Axcess with the purpose of setting up the trem to fully float (my other is dive only) and adding a Sustainiac. Tried a Jackson PC1 to work in the sustainer on some tunes but just couldn't get along with the tone and feel of it. Love my Axcess so went this route. Just...

It's been a long time since I tried doing a full floating FR. All of the Floyd guitars I have had in recent years got a term stopper for dive only and I put plastic tubing in the springs to dampen the noise. Got a new axe I want to float but with an ESP Arming Adjuster for added stability. I...

For anyone that has purchased a guitar privately and had it shipped from Canada I would like to hear about your experience. Did you get hit with any customs taxes/duties? Is the declared value the same as what it is insured for with the shipping carrier or can those values be different? What...

Delayed NAD thread I guess since I have technically had it since Monday. I don't often get opportunities to crank my tube amps at home, but found myself with some time to let it rip a few times since Monday and also spent a bunch of time with it at low volume. So far I am really liking this...

Trying to figure out how I can achieve adding some gain and volume for solos with my Bogner Helios. Lets say for now I don't have anything in the loop that requires the loop to always be on. I know that I can put a jumper in the loop, set the loop volume higher, click the loop on and get a...
