    Marshall Valvestate 8100 with a 4x10 Marshall Cabinet

    Yep, Marshall has made 4x10 cabs so it could very well be.

    Marshall Valvestate 8100 with a 4x10 Marshall Cabinet

    Are you talking about the matching cabinet for the 8100? If so, that one is actually a compact 4x12.

    Universal Audio question

    You’re hearing the distorted tone through your daw and the clean DI coming through on the console app of the UA. Open up console and hit mute on the track/input you’re going through and you’ll be good to go.

    Low - mid output humbuckers: Am I missing out?

    Maybe, maybe not lol. I mostly play high gain metal and have found some low output stuff that works great. I’ve also put those same pickups in different guitars and didn’t like them as much because they didn’t match those guitars as well. I feel like sometimes (not always) hotter pickups are a...

    First 4x12! Opinions Wanted

    Yeah it’s either the Laboga Tight or Ultra Tight series. I’ve never played one myself, though.

    NGD: '68 Reissue Les Paul Custom

    Awesome! I had one just like that and definitely miss it. Yeah those necks are chunky, but still comfortable imo. Mine was somewhere between a ‘59 and ‘58 carve. I yanked the ‘57 classic too lol. It wasn’t terrible, just a bit flabby tuned down with some gain. Anyway, congrats on the killer axe.

    Look, another new Metallica song "Screaming suicide" RED MEAT!! Go attack them guys... lol

    This is what I find the most baffling with Metallica. Sonically speaking, they have no excuse for anything subpar, but they have had so many tonal missteps with various albums.

    Anyone ever use Music Toyz?

    I'm not sure if he's the only employee or not, but it was always the same guy I spoke to and he talked like he ran the joint. It didn't really have a store front either, so it was definitely an online dealer when I dealt with them. In the section I was in they had a bunch of gear in their boxes...

    Anyone ever use Music Toyz?

    I've bought from them a couple of times a few years ago. One time I met the dude on location when I lived in Maine to do a trade. He was a funny dude. He wasn't the best with contact back then either, but he came through in a reasonable time from what I recall.

    Peavey 6505 1992 original

    That’s what I heard as well. The invective transformers are supposedly based on what they thought was the best example/sounding of the 5150/6505 transformers they tested. Could be a great sounding transformer for the head, but no doubt it’s influenced by cost saving.

    Micing a high gain cab

    A buddy of mine leant me his 421, and it was great with the 57. It totally made sense straight away as to why it’s a frequently combo. I’m going to add one at some point. For something different, the telefunken m81 is another good one that blends well with the 57. It’s less aggressive than...

    When was the last time

    When I’m recording, I always have one going either via a click or a drum loop. I have also been breaking one out a little more regularly during warm up or when practicing something tricky.

    "Hot rodded" PAF recommendations

    I really like the MCP Nasty Nasty in a super strat. The MCP 2nd Degree is great too, but I prefer it in a LP.

    NPD: Wizard Gate Minder

    "Do you have any 'always on' pedals in your rig?" "No, but I do have an 'always off' pedal." lol

    NPD: Wizard Gate Minder

    Yeah if the Wizard doesn't fiddle with the lows then I'd also assume they color the tone differently. The Phalanx is supposedly a part for part Zuul clone. At least that's what the builder told me when I reached out to him when they were first rolling out. I never played one myself, but I've...

    NPD: Wizard Gate Minder

    That sounds very similar to what the two Zuuls I've had do. The Zuul also adds some detail and brightness, but it seems to be a combination of a slight increase in that area and a slight reduction in lows.

    NPD: Wizard Gate Minder

    Is the brightness and detail you’re describing from an increase in top end or reduction of lows?

    Pickup recommendation needed. Alternative to SH4 JB?

    I wasn’t a huge Aldrich fan. Sometimes the “improved” JB types end up too soft or polite when they tame the upper mids too much.
