    PRS MT15 effects loop hum

    The wires connecting the effects loop board to the main board need to be shielded. I replaced mine with a single 2 conductor plus shield coax cable. I wish I did it years ago. Same with replacing the 500k lead master linear taper pot with a log/audio taper pot. Another useful mod is to replace...

    Gibson Les Paul Studio - New and Improved at the same price?

    That's $1080 in today's dollars. Still a better deal than the $1600 currently.

    Anyone remember the Peavey Penta?

    It's a great concept. The amp has 11 relays to change various components. The 5 ways switch has preset combinations. Low gain, has less tubes/gain stages, high gain has more/gain stages. The EQ has 5 relays switching the components. You'd have to treat each mode as a different amp. They should...

    triple rectifier 100w mod

    ^ I did that. It didn't help manage the volume or sound any better or worse. Still good to know in case you have a bad tube. Pull the pair, change impedance and keep rocking.

    Considering the purchase of a triple rectifier stack - What do I need to check?

    The only reason I'd buy that is to resell the amp and one cab. As much as I like albums recorded with a Rectifier, I can't stand playing one. The 3 ch triple I had was the worst amp choice I have ever made. I tried everything to make it sound good. I'd rather have the Bandit.

    Your take on Vox vs. Cry baby wahs?

    I have had 7 crybabys in various forms. The best deal is the 535q, found under $50 all the time. SMD? Sure. Who cares? The remaining mods can still be done on it. FWIW, there are many through hole dunlops still in production. Just find the cheapest and go to town. Most basic wahs are the same...

    Think i pinned down Ltd Ec-1000. Now JB, Fluence or EMG?

    I have a few guitars with SD JBs, they are my go to. Rock to metal. My ec401 came with emg het set. I don't like them at all. I had 81/85 years ago, not my favorite either. I also have a couple guitars with fishman moderns. I like the passive voice best. The single coil mode is good too...

    Peavey 5150 / 6505 you can use up to 5 pedals. What would you use and how would you run them.

    Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, buffer, lots of knobs to tweak, boost. Digitech XP100, does more than other Whammys, tuner, gate, volume, wah, auto wah, envelope filter. Proco BRAT, has both hard and soft clipping, a few simple mods and you get OD through fuzz. This spot could be any number of OD or...

    1981 Marshall JCM-800 G12-80 1982B 4x12

    I had the slant. It was the best all around cab I've owned. I traded a 1936 and some cash. I liked my Mesa cab better but I should never have traded it off.

    Recommendations for a great EQ pedal for the FX loop?

    The new Ibanez PTEQ looks great and is cheap. I like the old Boss EQ20, can save settings and toggle between 2 on the fly. I had the MXR M108, I didn't like it as much. I want the 800hz. Source Audio has countless fans.

    Any Peavey JSX owners here? What's your opinion of them?

    If you know how to read schematics you'll see there is not much difference. I highlighted the differences.
