Well, looks like you're in contact with the mods now but... That's a mistake on your end bro. Yes you jumped the gun. Paypal charges a fee to refund a G&S payment, and there are plenty of members who will not accept a G&S payment. $1k is a good deal and hoping no one got hacked.

Please clarify if you paid G&S before or after confirming with the seller what payment methods were accepted.

Channel 2 by a mile. I couldn't get along with channel 3 on either the Mk1 or Mk3. The gain is grainier and the voicing is a bit harsher. I agree it can be fine as a dedicated lead channel.

That's a really good point. Fucking A.

Yeah this is an amazing deal, I have this exact cab. No one is building them like this anymore!

Not sure if this was part of the blind test plan, but if you'd be willing to BE the blind tester and have someone else plugging you in to the comparison amps...and you make the guesses in the video...this would be an awesome way to showcase if the "feel" differs enough to be singled out! I'm...

This has been my dilemma as well. I've tried a Boss EQ-200 and also used the EQ's in an FM9. Both of them were decent but created this sheen over my tone that started to bug me. There is a warmth to the analog EQ's that just appeals to me. My go to has been the MXR 10-band and I also have an...

Who's played the Waza SD-1 and can compare to Wayne's? Somehow I've never owned OR played an SD-1 and I'm hoping for a shortcut down this rabbit hole.

Yep PM sent, what a deal!

I place the isolation transformer in line with my signal, just before the amp input. The P-Split has two outputs for a wider variety of applications but you could also just use the P-Iso. Either way Lehle is top of the line in this dept.

I can second the Lehle recommendation. I was having pretty bad ground loop issues running a noise gate in 4cm in conjunction with my amp switcher. I got a P-Split to use as an isolation transformer just before the switcher input and it solved the issue! I've got those Guptech noise gates on my...

I'm in the Denver area, tempted to go check it out. The thing is, even if he cut me a local deal, after sending to Mike B plus new tubes...still looking at $5k+.

I gotta say...compared to other top tier examples of art meets instrument, this is up there with the very best. Congratulations man, holy SHIT!

Honestly that shred mode on the JP is sick, though a bit harsh. Thought about picking one up again just to revisit. I couldn't quite get the amp to respond the same with a boost out front. The reissue is tempting but if it's a limited run then fuck it.

Well said. Something about their earlier work kept James' voice tolerable for me, and I could really get into the music as a whole. Nowadays I cringe as soon as his vocals come in. They have become the cheesiest sounding popular prog band IMO, and the song writing isn't what it used to be. Glad...

I feel lucky to have scored a Stoneage 4x12 in 2022, direct from John. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer built cabinet (maybe a Kerry Wright? Dunno, never seen one in person) . I'm sad to hear you're closing up shop, but can imagine the market isn't getting any kinder to cab builders. Thanks...

Same here. Finally ditched the EVH Greenbacks and the cab came alive. I'm currently running T75's on bottom and M65's up top. I will admit, those EVH speakers sounded great when I had it paired with a 5153 50w.

I think the bottom line is that Gibson needs to step up and offer a reliable path for getting vintage Mesas serviced. In other words, they are gonna need at least one amp tech in house that knows these amps inside and out. That may be wishful thinking, but it's step one IMO. If that doesn't...

I felt similar about the Spark 40. Sold mine and just got tracking info for the new Spark 2, should be here in a few days. Hoping the improvements make it a decent all-around option for practice and noodling.

Yeah I dunno, I'm a huge Opeth fan up through Watershed. Then they turned into 70's theatrical opera prog. This sounds like that with growling added back in. But I'll still be checking this release out, ya never know right?
