    Mark 2c+ this vid sounds good

    we all have to play the thing to decide. there is a major "FEEL" element to the c+ that these demos are never going to capture.

    Jeff "Skunk" Baxter: Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, and the Sound of an Era

    there is a story in Elton Johns auto bio about how in the mid 70's he briefly played with an american guitarist, who he got rid of after the guy talked about how he likes to fuck chickens. Elton never names names, but Baxter was the only American guitar player he worked with in that era...

    The IIC+reissue goes live Dec. 3rd. $3599

    Which obnoxious You Tuber is going to make the first amateur review of this thing? I can picture the thumbnails now. One of those douche bags will be shocked looking or disappointed looking with a photo of the amp haphazardly pasted next to their big fucking heads. Someone should Re-issue...

    Tell me about the Mesa Mark IV

    its RHY 2 for a reason. otherwise it would have been RHY1, LEAD 1, LEAD 2 I just think of it as the clean channel with a built in od pedal.

    Behringer Centaur

    Also Behringer has like its own city in China. massive production facilities = cheaper shit. also, i can't believe anyone "Goops" their circuits. like a hair dryer and a metal pick aren't going to take care of that shit in 5 minutes. or measure components from the bottom of the board...

    What strap locks are worth a damn?

    been using them to scratch the shit out of the bottom of a lot of nice guitars over the years. i love them, but that plastic clip digs at the finish in the same spot.

    The IIC+reissue goes live Dec. 3rd. $3599

    damn, thats really close to me. could walk up with 5 racks right now... oooh and its the long head with the presence on the front!!! so fucking tempting, but thats a lot of coin for a guy with a mark IVa that he loves. Every time i had a IVa and a c+ in the same room, it wasn't long...

    Well, the new Opeth dropped today!

    this. i remember being a youngster in 1999 trying to learn songs off of Still Life. Just looking at those tabs, and the way he writes riffs, had me convinced of their brilliance.

    A Lesson In Tone: Master Of Puppets

    totally this. if you google my screen name and the HCAF, i used to tout those g12-65's like they were the next coming of christ. i had a bit of an obsession with those for a while. i bought a jcm 800 1960a loaded with them once that was owned by the obscure band Villian, and then a few...

    The IIC+reissue goes live Dec. 3rd. $3599

    fwiw, i REALLY dialed into the justice tone when i ran 2 master effects PMEQ's in series in the loop of my mark IVa -> 1960av. it was totally there. you have to compensate with more volume for all the dropped frequencies, but thats what they did.

    No matter how hard you try. There’s an Asian kid on the internet that does it better.

    the internet is a fucked up place. it really shows every average person the extreme BEST and WORST of humans. its bad for your brain. i remind my kids of this every chance i can get. as a musician, you probably learned within the first year of playing that there is ALWAYS going to be some old...

    Wolf Hoffmann's Stage Gear Run Down

    i had the edwards white v with the block inlay and white binding on the fret board 100% because of him. played it on stage a few times in the early 2000's when it was so NOT cool to be like that. it was a sweet guitar too, shouldn't have sold it. my cork sniffer got the best of me at the time...

    Yeah, but you're a reasonable person, aren't you. We're talking about the MESA CULT MEMBERS! i'd be the first to admit, i'm one of them lol

    Wolf Hoffmann's Stage Gear Run Down

    whole band is missing something these days. i think wolf is just going through the motions and its a business. the first few albums with their new singer were pretty good, but it got generic and forgettable fast after that. i think wolf comes of as a great guy, but the ex members seem to...

    Wolf Hoffmann's Stage Gear Run Down

    fast as a shark is one of the best metal songs of all time. that dual guitar solo always gets a few rewinds and playbacks while i'm listening to that song. especially the live version from Staying A Life where they play it even faster. thats a high wire, delicate solo for sure... ONE wrong...

    The IIC+reissue goes live Dec. 3rd. $3599

    one could argue that the long heads have a little more room inside the chassis and cabinet for air flow to keep it cooler, as many boogies run notoriously hot in some spots on the board, hince the reason for the fan. other than that, they're all the same circuits between long and short heads...

    Peavey 5150- Effect Loop Trouble

    fwiw...make sure those fx loop jacks are clean too. dirty fx loop jacks are a classic 5150 issue for some reason.
