I will fight you. At least let Maximum Security stay as is. Love that Rockman-esque tone. Sidenote: I know a lot of guys say MacAlpine used a Peavey with the 800mhz freq pegged, but in the liner notes of George Lynch's Will Play for Food album he says he recorded Tears of Sahara with Tony's...

I typically am not a fan of non locking tremolos if I'm using them for what I use a Floyd for. Having said that I echo what was said above in that in my experience they perform about as good (or bad depending how you look at it) as a traditional strat trem, maybe a little better tuning...

Locking tuners actually aren't designed to do what most people assume they do...

99% certain there is no "Mark I" or "Mark II" - "MK" is literally just the initials of Martin Kidd who designed them. There's the MK50H which is a single channel, and the MK50HII which is a 2 channel. Like what the Soldano Avenger is to the SLO. I own a MK50HII clone that was branded by Jet...

I might have a few medium magnet Jet City speakers in my garage if those interest you...

Oh man. The Vintage ones? I have 3 pairs but I don't think I can let any of them go just yet. Try finding the Eminence CV75 speakers which are what the Vintage ones essentially are (MIC version)

Line 6 Spider II, because of obvious reasons. Had it for not even 24 hours and after a disappointing band practice I returned it to GC. But then again this was around 2006 when I was starting out with the band thing. I think every other amp I've sold I have regret selling.

I got this in a Seismic 1x12 with a Crate BV60 for freaking $50 this week. No idea what this speaker is intended for or how it sounds, but I'm trying to see if anyone here has experience with them at all?

Lol old habits die hard.

In regards to King Crimson/David Gerlach... I never had a bad interaction with him, but didn't really chat much. Back in the HC days maybe around '01 he posted a clip of his 5150 with integrated quads, and to this day I think is still one of my favorite amp clips. "Cookie Monsters" I think it...

My son and I started working on recording last few nights. He's been playing for a year and a half now. He's crushing it on rhythms on all the Metallica albums up to the Black album, as well as a lot of Slayer and Pantera. Decided to team up for the interlude harmonies on Metallica's One...

Buddy of mine had a Chadwick and Nineteen80 Jr - both very much exceeded expectations in terms of tone. I'd imagine the rest of the Krank lineup followed suit. Maybe over hyped and too flashy imagery, but haven't heard a bad one unless it was from a bad player.

'Met' Jeff Loomis and Keith Marrow as they walked past me after their Conquering Dystopia set opening for Animals as Leaders. Shook their hands and congratulated them on an awesome set. Nothing to write home about but they were cool. Had a 1 on 1 private lesson with George Lynch back in 2011...

Man I really like Liquid Charlie and have been a fan for years . . . but this is not one of his finest demos. Sounds like the input to the board is constantly clipping and captures mostly high end harshness. Listened to this through laptop speakers, BT earbuds, and Sennheiser 280s. All the...

So Diablo Guitars is owned/operated by Parker Lundgren who was in Queensryche until a few years ago, so I would bet prices would be a bit elevated.

Another update: Found out the old Tung Sol 12AT7 I popped in the PI slot was the cause of the latest round of super quiet sound. Put in the Millard that it came with and roaring to life. Since I solved that I put in a 3H Hammond choke. Really digging this amp now!

I'm going to be the one guy that says it: Line 6 DT50 combo. Good variety of tones that sound great mic'd up, and can be had cheap in comparison. Caveat: Power transformers are a weak point. If you're lucky enough to find one with a new/replaced PT or can do it yourself, they're solid.

Update: Found R8 was also toast. Measured 1.6M. Explains why I was getting 24v bias on the right side. Replaced with new 1 ohm 1w and was able to get proper ~90mV each side. Now ... It's quiet again. Will keep digging, but at least the board is Issue 20 so it cuts down on factory failure...

Thanks (and also to everyone else)! To be fair, I don't ever claim I know how to; I'm just curious enough and semi-knowledgeable enough to dive in haha. I've rescued a fair amount of amps locally that folks either don't want to fuss with or fear it's too expensive to take to a tech for repair...

I have a quad of Chinese made CV75 (labeled as Jet City Vintage), that sound a lot like V30 without the mid spike. Really fond of how that cab sounds. Much better tone with those than I ever got with Eminence Legends (as a V30 alternative that is)
