    How often do you discard picks?

    I use the carbon-fiber jazz3 max-grips. Doing a fair amount of fast alt-picking the bevel starts getting slanted a bit after a couple hours of play time. So I only get a few hours out of each pick since I really do prefer the stock "even" bevel of the brand new pick. The JP-trinity picks, which...

    Anyone have a trick to remove Seymour's name on a pickup

    Never minded it on the Invader (my favorite SD) because it is much smaller, and the blacked-out models are fine too. IIRC they do a blacked Distortion and Black Winter along with Nazgul/Sentient/Pegasus.

    Mesa going old skool

    Didn't the OGs have EVM12L speakers? Were they the tops or bottoms in the old cabs, and what others speakers were in the OGs?

    Different types of V30 speakers. Opinions?

    They're all good speakers IMO. Which version you like best will depend on the ohms and cab they are in just as much as the year of manufacture, not to mention every individual speaker has some variance.

    A reflection on Skid Row

    If it weren't just for I Remember You and it's silky solo I doubt we'd even be having this conversation.

    Experience with the Rectifier Roadster?

    You can always calibrate it a little bit by just swapping preamp tubes, namely in the first and second positions.

    Mesa 6L6 Tubes: Where To Buy?

    They still sell their own tubes, but since all the global stupidity they have been hoarding those in shorter supply, so availability has been off and on. Always check with Humbucker Music supply out of Georgia because they still don't charge tax last I knew. No tax no shipping

    Mesa 6L6 Tubes: Where To Buy?

    They don't need to be quad-matched for rectifiers. You can even have all three pairs in a triple be of different color codes, as long as the inners match each other, and of course same goes for outers and tweeners. Furthermore they don't even need to be of the same tube model, only within the...

    NAD and cab…lol

    Is this the series 2 version? I think I see the raw mode at the top of the mode-select toggle.

    Anyone here have experience with a DiMarzio Dreamcatcher?

    Actually if you go through the specs of all the past and present jp pickups there is much variation in output and dcr, maybe not as much in general EQ profile, but then again I would say more EQ variation than Dimarzio's tone chart would suggest, although I think they have recently switched to...

    My favorite pick - Dunlop Tortex Jazz III XL

    Still my favorite all-around pick. (cf jazz3 max-grip) 99% of the time it's what I grab. Occasionally if I'm in a clean strumming mood I like standard red tortex .5mm. For fast technical alt-picking the JP-trinity is also great, they have a sharper tip and a slightly crisper tone than the cf...
