    Sleeper Amps On The Cheap!

    Yeah, I think that's really what kind of floored me about the values over the past couple of years. Some of these amps were holding steady, then all of a sudden they just exploded. Hell, even a decent 2203 or 2204 could be easily had for sub $2K... often sub $1500 in great condition...

    Sleeper Amps On The Cheap!

    There are so many regrets I see in this thread. Bought a D60 in 2012 for $600. Traded it + $300 for a Roadster later that year. Bought a D120 and FB412 in 2013 for $1000. Traded the D120 plus $300 for a Sig:X in 2015... after being offered a red stripe GEQ Mark III and passing on it. Bought a...

    Fryette power station into pa

    You don't want to go direct from PowerStation to PA. There is no speaker emulation in the Power Station. It will sound extremely harsh and terrible. You need some type of speaker emulation or IR in between. Do what JLR is saying. Even better, split your path in the Helix and put an IR or...

    Hope nobody falls for this…

    It probably got crawled/indexed by search engines so started showing up in search results before they were ready for it to go live.

    4x12 cab (Fatbottom) speaker replacement issues

    I've been using an Allen key for the original screw. Found that the original screws' heads are too narrow for the Fanes also, so had to get wider head screws. Got the correct thread though for the T-nuts. I also emailed Fryette support about this several weeks ago and they have not responded...

    4x12 cab (Fatbottom) speaker replacement issues

    Hey fellas. I've got a VHT FB412-P50E. I am trying to swap out the speakers, and I noticed a couple of issues. 1. A couple of the T-nuts have come out. I tried to get them back in through the other speaker holes but no joy. How the hell can I get the screws out so that I can remove the...

    You prefer way to run modeling amp

    I think it depends on the venue, whether there's a supplied backline, and overall size/PA quality. Generally speaking, though, I prefer running my Helix in 4CM with one of my amps. I have a RJM Amp Gizmo also to cover midi switching by snapshot... makes for a well integrated rig. But if it's...

    Mustaine/Megadeth Lead tone

    Had no idea he was using the GSPs. I thought he had moved back to Marshall JVM heads for a while before picking up the Axe-Fx.

    This interview is ON POINT.

    I've seen them several times over the past twenty years. They are always a great show and get the crowd moving.

    Biggest sounding 212 you've played?

    This is it for me. Loaded mine with G12K-85's and haven't looked back.

    Favorite cheap...

    I just got a Yamaha LSTA used that I love. Here's one: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Yamaha/LSTA-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-117789143.gc?cntry=us&source=4WWRWXGP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmuiTBhDoARIsAPiv6L8y9ib8ffkU7_jMTNMUlMgkicA4cp5-f5YQnnMDw6dv2mIeXeSVVREaAo97EALw_wcB I've read really good things...

    Bridge Humbucker / Neck P90 thread.

    I have a Duncan P-Rail in the neck of my kit Les Paul and really like it (except for the noise in single coil modes). I think I need to re-shield the whole thing, though, so maybe that's the real issue.

    Frusciante back with the RHCP

    New album has been out over a month. I think it's their best since Californication. They brought some of the funk back, and his guitar tones are on point. The interplay between Flea and John feels fresh yet familiar. FWIW I hated By the Way and most of Stadium Arcadium. I expected this new...

    Complete Drum Kit Question

    Craigslist is usually the best place for an all-in-one deal for the shells, basic hardware (usually single kick), throne and cymbals. Then supplement with individual parts you want to customize--like the double kick. All of the big brands make good stuff even at the mid-tier that lasts well...

    Guitar Room Ideas

    Keep all of your gear a few inches off the ground (those wire shelves are great for it) especially if you live in any type of flood zone.

    Super cheap wireless worth it?

    I've had a GLXD16 for 6 or 7 years. It's never failed me. Love that thing.

    High gain pre amp recommendations

    FWIW I've really enjoyed having the Fryette GP/DI, and I use it as a pre almost exclusively.

    Surreal Amplification?

    Is something like this a good deal? https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/msg/d/richmond-surreal-watt-tube-amp/7468428812.html I don't need another amp, but just trying to understand as far as used (where you don't risk dealing with the actual guy), are the amps worth this in terms of sound...
