I just had an idea. What if you were to have an amp that offered half power on one channel, I like having clean cleans at high volume, but I like the sound of cranked lead channels. Do any amp manufacturers do this? Seems like the best of both worlds. I've always been put off by 50 watters...

So, I've been seriously thinking about selling my 5150 II, since I don't really play much metal anymore and would like a more versetile amp that can cover jazz, and prog rock, which is what I play mostly. The 5150 II is a great amp, love it, but I think I could have an amp that suited my...

I'm a huge fan of artists such as Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour etc, I think they're incredible musicians and I've learned a few songs by them, two by Andy Mckee and one by Antoine Dufour. Problem is, I'm playing a £60 acoustic by Encore that my friend gave me for my birthday that's beaten up and...

So, I've been looking into delays, and these grab my attention more than any others, features wise, good price and they sound less..harsh than the Boss delays. Can anyone give me some insight/advice on which to go for, nowhere anywhere near me stocks TC Electronics, it's all Boss and sometimes...

I've recently discovered that there's quite a few doom/stoner/sludge fans on here, which is great, it's a genre that hardly anyone I know enjoys listening to so I'm always nervous to bring it up. Anyway, I run a 5150 II and I'd like to get some doom tones, my doom guitar is a Epi LP Goth which...

So, some time last year I heard about Harley Benton, which is the name given to the own brand ripoffs by Thomann, the huge German cyberstore. Now, everyone's raving about how great their cabs are, apparently better than a Marshall, with V30s, very cheap. but since they're ripping off...

I've been playing a 5150 II for a year now and after a few reliability issues, I've decided to fix it, sell it and buy a new amp. As much as I love the 5150 II, my playing has become so mcuh more versetile and moved more towards prog rock, jazz and fusion and away from metal, I still love...

Hopefuly this will be the last thread on this amp. I've spent £80 on new valves for it, tried switching pre's around, nothing seems to get this amp to work, I've taken it to a tech 3 times with only temporary results. I've had enough. I've just pushing in the tube sockets on the 6l6s with a...

I've decided to clean my tube sockets, after replacing the power tubes with TAD (which are great by the way) sometimes I get a loss of volume, clarity and 'whooshing' sounds. Apparently that's down to the tube sockets. However, I have no idea how to remove them to clean them or if I actually...

I've been looking through guitars and I realised something about signature guitars. Alot of them have really cool designs and features and are often improvements of stock guitars and would be very marketable. But... Lots of them have graphics on the fretboard or body that ruin them...

So.. My valves are busted and I can't really use my amp, I've switched the pre's around so I figure it's the power valves. I've used JJ and EHx, JJ I prefer but I've heard alot of bad things about reliability, EHx valves just didn't sound great but are cheap. TAD 6l6GCs are only £15.50. and...

I've been getting really into acoustic fingerstyle playing ala Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Don Ross. I absolutely love it. Already learned 'All Laid Back And Stuff' and 'For My Father (partially) Anyway, a local 80s style hard rock band has lost their bassist and since I'm good friends with...

I have to write an essay on this subject and it's something that I'm not finding very easy to find information on, any info any of you could provide me would be very useful. :) Or feel free to discuss the advancements of music technology amongst yourseves.

So, XXXSIVE has inspired me to make this thread as I'm tempted to trade my 5150 for something a little better and seeing as I love it and have heard pretty awesome things about other Peavey amps I thought I'd ask. Can the 3120 do what a 5150 does? How does it compare to the XXX? Haven't...

So, I've been looking deeply into different delays, and the Eventide Timefactor is out of my budget, also I've decided on digital delay, I may pick up an anologue later on if I feel I need it, 300ms isn't enough really. So, if the DD20 has presets and so on and a larger range of options, with...

I've been listening to some stuff with crazy time signatures and timing and I'd like to include some of this style into my own playing, does anyone have tips as to where to start? I find it hard to play and keep time with lots of different metres changing all the time. It's much harder to get...

So I thought I'd check out something new in the pick department as I only have about three left. I currently use .88 for jazz, 1mm for metal and 1.14 for recording (metal) How do the picks compare in density/flexibility? I'd like the pick to be stiff but slim for metal. or any general...

Hey guys, I know lots of you have done home or studio recording, and I was wondering the best way to record acoustic gutiars for my Music Technology A level course. I'm recording for myself and a friend in the year above who is also doing 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd. I only have...
