She´s been kicking around for probably almost ten years by now. I first heard her in some big youtube jam where she schooled a lot of boring shredders, but she´s also done some albums and EPs and what not and has been touring a bit as well. Rig-talk maybe isn´t the number one place for digging...

Yeah, the bright cap out is mostly for people using distortion pedals or want smoother, cleaner tones at low volume. That huge 4700pf cap you see in the 70s Marshalls basically is an on-off switch, unless the volume more or less is off you´re suddenly full Judas Priest and too loud for your...

I should add that I really dig my (non-SE) Custom Audio 3+ preamp too, I don't know anything about the circuit itself but the third channel sounds pretty Marshall-ish to me for high gain tone.

The 90s stuff, I guess. Probably not the best comparison, maybe just as much Rush as anything else, but definitely a different sort of songwriting after Scenes from a memory.

I assume it´s the plugin from a few years ago running on a dedicated box?

My uninformed guess is that like, one or two token songs from the last five (?) albums will remain in the setlist. Sort of like Sign of the cross from the Blaze albums when Dickinson came back. You don´t pull a move like this and not start focusing on the old stuff along with it. But yeah, I...

Yeah, I think someone said Friedman was doing a replica of his favorite plexi with the variac. Again, I guess, the Blankenship Variplex was supposed to be the same thing.

I have a Kramer mutt coming in a few days, I guess that counts as sort of a parts guitar. Probably needs work on the frets and the electronics, and I need to settle on one hardware color instead of all three that´s on there now ☺️

Here´s my favorite, the Zé by Three monkeys/Blockhead main man Ossie Ahsen. As old school a circuit as the José stuff gets, I suppose... it´s really not that saturated by the standards of today and pretty lean in the low end compared to more modern interpretations.

People stopped buying preamps and rack rigs in the mid 90s when the vintage stuff became the hot ticket and stereo sound seemed too impractical, it's basically just fashion and not really related to the sound. I would say that rack rigs got a bad rep mainly because of people not knowing how to...

Even the best kept of these are busted at this point and in need of expensive specialist care, but if you can get this up and running for less than 1000 bucks you're way in the green.

The Super II is super bright and originally made as a neck pickup, I´ve never played the 1400 but I doubt they are very similar at all. I bet the Super D or Super III would be a better comparison.

Unless you want the delays in parallel with the detune that´s not right. The Rolands have their own analog dry path, so they´re typically between the Rane and the power amp. Also, each channel on the Rane can be either an in or an out, so my preferred routing here would be as follows: Mono from...

I can´t remember using it for the pitch effect, but it sure has a ton of very nice chorus programs and I wouldn´t be surprised if the pitch is great too. But yeah, straight out of the box the M7 probably has a wider range of guitar-friendly presets than anything I´ve had, so I didn´t mess...

The M7 is the best bang for the buck out there, for sure. I consolidated my FX to a H3000, a GTR4000 and a Kurzweil KSP8 six or seven years ago and sold everything else - except the M7, which I still have in a box somewhere. It really is that good, and cheap enough that it wasn´t worth selling.

Chandler did good stuff, zero resale value but perfectly functional parts. If Chandler operated the same in the US as in Europe I guess they´re more or less partscasters, as opposed to custom guitars.

The San Dimas 95 series are great guitars, but essentially 90s Jacksons with another logo. That one is the Traditional, and not as sought-after as the I-II-III-IV models are. I would take one of those four over a new Select Charvel any day, for sure, but I would say the new ones are more...

Yeah, it´s a 1982 JCM800 2203 in JMP clothing that´s been modded. I know us scandinavian countries had them well into the 80s, for whatever reason, maybe Germany did too.

Maybe the last ad for the 900s, the JCM2000 line rolled out in 1997. But yeah, Kiss were surprisingly relevant in the mid 90s, compared to a lot of other 70s and 80s bands... that reunion was a huge deal.
