    Changed the v1 tube on my Slo 30

    I've done a lot of rolling with my SLO-30. I put GT 12AT7s in V1 and V3 to tame the gain a little. But yesterday I threw a newer Mullard 12AX7 in V1 and like it a lot. I feel like I'm wasting something by only running the gain on 2, but that's as much as I can take. I always dime the volumes...

    For Sale Friedman Dirty Shirley 40w head

    $2200 PP'ed and shipped to lower 48. This is a 2023 model, in like new to new condition, no signs of wear. Comes with original box and power cable. Killer amp, tone for days, but It's just not my thing, and I need to thin the herd. No trades.

    Thomann bought Hughes & Kettner

    I only know about them through Alex Lifeson. I saw lots of shows on the tours where he used them. Dunno what he recorded those albums with, though.

    Kramer Pacers, 84s and Barettas......

    I used to go to Manny's and Sam Ash on 48th St. back in the day. They had everything you could ever want. But that wasn't always the case in the small stores in the burbs. I got to tour the Kramer factory just as the 5150 tour was starting. Oh man, what a candy store that place was.

    Kramer Pacers, 84s and Barettas......

    That still wasn't real cheap back then, but Kramer was small time in 1982. They had really taken off by 1986 and there was a waitlist to get a Baretta. I grew up in NJ, so I suppose it was a little easier for us. But you had to go down to your local mom and pop music store and place and order...

    Kramer Pacers, 84s and Barettas......

    My best guitar buddy growing up had one of the second run of the Barettas, candy apple red, identical to the one Sammy plays in the Live Without a Net video. IIRC, that was something like $900. In 1986 that was some serious money for a guitar. It's amazing how much guitar you get for the...

    What guitar is currently in your hands, or was in them last?

    The black one.

    Kramer Pacers, 84s and Barettas......

    The 84 Barettas and cheap Pacers I've fondled almost all had sharp fret ends. Maybe it's because it's so dry in AZ, but other brands have not felt like that to me.

    There is a PRS EVH model floating around out there that PRS pitched to him, I think around the time he left EBMM. It's kind of cool.

    EVH Custom Shop

    I took this photo at Sweetwater back in December. My guitar teacher when I was a kid got one of the very first ones when the bosses from Kramer were driving to all their dealers in NJ and showing off the first run. He got it for $500 then and it was stolen in a home break-in about 8-9 yrs...

    EVH Custom Shop

    I got a like new chlorine burst WG standard for a song a while ago. It's a killer guitar, but I just never play it because I have so many others I like more. I need to sell it now, as I was surfing Reverb while intoxicated (SRWI) last week and snagged a Friedman DS head I need to pay for...

    Kramer Pacers, 84s and Barettas......

    Here's my '83 Pacer. Wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny and will probably never go down in value. Pickup in there now is a Jalen clear bobbin.

    EVH Custom Shop

    The only VH-style guitars that are worth their current prices are the Wolfgang Standards and that Kramer Baretta reissue like the one in the No Bozos ad. The others are overpriced for what they are. For the money I'd rather build my own, get some parts from Musikraft, Warmoth, etc. and maybe...

    EVH Custom Shop

    Those prices are ridiculous. Anyone who's an EVH disciple probably started loving VH back when Ed was playing a guitar that looked like he dragged it behind the tour bus. I thought prices were insane when his EBMM signature model came out, but those were super quality guitars and have...

    There's a dude somewhat close selling a Marshall

    That'd be a fun project and could be made to sound absolutely killer. That board looks like Ceriatone or Mojotone. I think you can still buy a real Marshall 2203 board. I'm not looking for another project and I love my real '79 2203. But this might be worth $1000 to the right person.
