I like the Custom a lot. One of my all time favorites, though I do also love the Distortion, Black Winter, and Nazgul. Like everyone has kind of said, it is a med-high output pickup with a slightly scooped midrange, tight low end, and balanced high end. For me, it's done well in a lot of...

I assumed you were referring to the black 6l6 version. I've typically seen the EL34 version for $800-$900, but the black one usually $900-$1100.

Looks awesome!

Well, this is the EL34 version. While technically a "stealth", I think most of us refer to the Stealth as the all black 6l6 version.

Yeah, the SUN has been fantastic. No complaints. I now have one on each of my 3 boards. I've also sold my 3 Zuuls and Roaches. The GupTech is a lot cheaper, too. I paid $110 for them during BF sales.

It didn't respond as fast. I also didn't want to have a splitter on my board, so I bought the Zuul+ as soon as it was released. I had a few emails back and forth with Fortin, and they suggested that it seemed like I simply preferred the OGs response and let me return the + without a restock fee.

So many noise gate options. My favorites have been the OG Zuul and the GupTech SUN. The Zuul is great if you already have something on your board to split the signal. Otherwise, I find the GupTech to be really close, and it has the key in and out built in. I didn't like the Revv or the Zuul+. I...

I've been using Celestion Speaker Mix Pro for direct recording lately, and it's easily the best sound I've been able to get with this method.

I'm a big fan of V30/Redback combo. I had a 412 with Redbacks and a Mesa OS 412 with V30s, and both sounded great, but I traded 2 speakers between them and it was like leveling up both cabs. Also have a KSR 212 with the same combo. 3 cabs, same combo of speakers lol. So dumb. Anyway, I love...

The other guitar player in my band has had a PB2 since like 2009 or something that he bought used. He plays in 2 bands, gigs at least twice a month, and practices 3x a week with it. Never had a single issue. He also has a FB25 that he bought off of me that has been great. I just got a FB100...

Noise gate. Currently using a GUPTech SUN. But every amp reacts differently to different gates, so it depends on everything else.

I have an EVH 100s and 50 watt 6l6. I'm a 5150 guy at heart, so those things always seem to win out for me, but I'm also not looking for dynamics for what I play. But I do love the Fireballs as well. I can't say I like one over the other, though. They both are really great. I'm sure I will buy...

I would agree with that statement about the EL84 power section, at least with my limited experience trying to use a Mark V25 with a band years ago. I have a FB100, and my other guitar player has a FB25 that he bought from me. They're both great, and they're different but the same at the same...

An amp on my list! Congrats!

Those Avatar 212s are amazing cabs. I had 2 for years until somewhat recently.

I had a Mako Mak4 preamp. I owned an Omega Obsidian briefly, and that amp reminded me a lot of Mako's stuff. Played a Titan at an ampfest way back in like 2010 or something, and it sounded great! They weren't SLO clones, but they did use parts from the SLO clone board or something like that. Way...

Appreciate that! I am so busy these days that I really only get on here when I have some random free time...which happened to be right now! haha. Yeah, I don't get the VII mode lol. I heard cool clips and tried a lot of dialing, and just couldn't get it to do anything I liked. I had the amp...

I briefly owned a JP and VII together, and ended up selling the JP. I also have owned a V25, V, IVa, and IVb. The JP didn't have quite the low end I wanted. The VII sort of resolved that, but had it's own things that I wasn't super into. I preferred the JP format...2 EQs, Shred mode, but...

Been a couple of years since I've ordered anything from Wade. Really frustrating to deal with because I think he just refuses to respond to emails these days. Typically, my wait times with his stuff have been 2-4 months. I've had a couple Afwayus, Nukes, and Solutions. All pickups I really...

This album came out, and a year later I started playing guitar. These guitar tones have a special place in my heart, and are definitely my favorite Metallica tones.
