    Fedex are fuckers

    UPS left an 8 foot roll of carpet on my porch with an address label for a girl in DC. I'm in PA. I called and they told me to make an account and go online and fill out a bunch of forms. No, how bout you come pick it up? Sat there for two weeks. I called Crate and Barrel where it came from and...

    Bogner XTC 20th problems...please advise

    Check to see if all power tubes are hot when this happens. Had a similar issue where the pins on the power tube socket were loose. Seems some tubes have fatter pins that stretch the sockets, then if you go to a tube with narrower pins they are too loose and lose connetion. My amp would lose it's...

    Finally tracked down a Jackson Fusion

    I had a 90's Charvel Fusion that was killer. If you can find a "Charvette" they were the budget Fusion that was short scale and were a great modding platform.

    Randy Rhoads Soundboard Recording 1982

    His Marshall was probably so freakin loud they had him low in the FOH mix.

    Picked up a Mark IV

    I Don't heavily scoop my Mark IV's either. It cuts better and has a nice snarl.

    Picked up a Mark IV

    I bought a Mark IVa from GC used for pretty cheap. Came in a tour case and looked like it was rode HARD and put away wet. Sent it in to Boogie. They overhauled it (told them do whatever it needs) had it back in a month and it was a little under $400 less shipping and tubes. I ended up selling it...

    Convince me not to get a Blackstar HT-5

    If you need reverb, dont buy an amp based on that, just get a pedal. For practice I have a Zoom ms50 in the loop of Soldano mini. Has a bunch of reverbs,delays,phaser,flange whatever you want.Works great.

    Convince me not to get a Blackstar HT-5

    I never found a combo to sound as good as a head/cab. I tried plenty. Combos will have an open back which is usually not ideal for any type of rock/metal. Also they are heavier and usually cost more. The Fender Bassbreaker is one combo I did like, but again it was close to 50lbs.

    Convince me not to get a Blackstar HT-5

    I had an HT5. It was pretty Meh. Check out the mini Soldano. That with a few pedals and a little 1x12 is what I'm rocking for a bedroom amp. Sound really good.

    New 50 watt Bogner 3534 ?? Discussion is open.

    Did they fix the noise? I waited over a year for one I had on order and returned it in 3 days due to the noise level on the red channel. One of my biggest gear related disappointments.

    Kiss '73 - original demo

    I had an old 100 watt Marshall Super Lead, bone stock. Even cranked to ear splitting volume that thing was clean as a whistle. No where near the gain of even a JCM 800. I was so bummed I sold it. That's probably what we're hearing here.

    who the hell in their right mind would buy this thing

    It should be on the scratch and dent clearance rack.

    Buying GC used online…

    Its a crap shoot. I've won big, and got some clunkers. Best case, you can find stuff under priced .Worst case is I'm out an hour ride back and forth to dump it off at my local store and get a refund.

    Nope not at 1200. Jackson has the market for that style guitar covered for less money.

    Mesa Mark III price list 1987

    That was a lot of money back then. I bought a brand new JCM 800 2210 that year and it about $700 if I remember correctly.

    Fixing Bad Pod Go Presets

    Line 6 cabs are the worst. I had a POD Go for a minute and also a Stomp. Free IR's improved the tones but at the end of the day the tones are just not there for me. Fractal tones are so much better straight out of the box. You can gig with a Fractal factory preset no problem.

    Kramer Pacer question

    I have one of these Pacer Tigers also, Made in Indonesia. Great guitar for the money though.

    Wait until you get into the effects. They are top notch.

    Kramer Pacer question

    I love those old Kramers. But the prices are stupid. Unless you need the old school mojo,You can build a comparable guitar for much less. They were nothing more than parts guitars assembled in a factory in NJ back in the day. The newer Pacer with a few upgrades will get you there or buy a...
