If I can find them I can upload some shots of both rigs. I didnt take any of Toms rig though. LOL It was very cool. Only thing that sucked is that I was trying to get behind EVHs amp and zoom in but the lighting sucked and there was a guard like right there. He did let me take shot but without...
I will always remember going to the Met in NYC when they had the guitars and amp tour. There was Jimmy Pages entire rig right next to EVHs rig and next to that was Tom Morellos rig. Nothing for nothing but that rig didnt belong anywhere near those other two.
Bill Worked for Altec Lansing and bought all the original equipment when they went out. He uses the original machines and all original material to recone. Here is their site. https://greatplainsaudio.com/ Its been such a long time he may have even retired since I spoke to him last, but he was a...
These are one of the pairs of original (to me) 417s. One is an H and one is a C if I remember correctly. I A-B'ed them both with a reconed (by Great Plains Audio) and one re-magnatized and they sounded 99.5 % identical. The brand new recone maybe had more umph in the bottom but overall it was...
Its odd because even though I hear differences in my Altecs, according to Bill at Great Plains Audio, who is THEE go to guy, the 8C,8H, Etc are all supposed to sound the same. Yes, different construction but for the most part "Supposed" to be identical sounding. I have never had it done but I...
I have the early proto he did with my 71 Super Bass. The gain at 11O'clock is like any other amp on 10 and beyond. Its pretty crazy the amount of gain. Good thing is its usable from zero till about seven. Thats where its pretty much maxed out on mine. No noticeable difference after that, but...
Just looked up a newer interview where he said he used a marshall. I wish I knew where I read that article cause he went into detail about what he did. I am by no means a Geraldo fanboy so I was just going by what I read. Still sounded good though.
Read an interview with him and I am not sure exactly which ones he used it on but I know it was early on. He said he got a call from the Producer asking to come in and lay down solos. He said he was hungover and just went for it. He hadnt met Pat at that point either. Article is probably out...
The K-120 is going to sound waayyy different than the EVM12 though. If you are good with that not being an integral part of your sound (I see the other amp has Celestions) then you have a few options. The only thing that sounds really strange is that 2 different amps with two different speakers...
I'm about 5 and 1/2 hrs from Erie but I would be down if I can get coverage at work. I have 2 Diezels, 2 Monomyth Marshalls, 1 Monomyth Metro 12k, 1 Stock Metro 12k , a modded Mike B. Mark IV from 92, whole bunch of 4x12s and waaaayyyy too many rack effects.
Lots of things would have to fall...
Great products but what has been said.. He's a jerk. Had an issue with my Terc. Spoke to his tech and guy was giving me an RMA number to check it out. Mike got involved and all of a sudden it was user error, it was operating normally..etc... escalated to the point where I told him to shove his...
I bought the damn book just for the amp section and there is a nice paragraph about how "The Fractal AxeFx preamp has been a dream come true". He will take out a 1962 Explorer but wont take the amps out because its better to preserve them for recording. I saw them with GNR at Giants stadium and...
I own a reconed Altec that was done by the same guy using the same equipment that Altec Lansing used. There is literally no difference between my other speakers and the reconed one. I did a ton of research before I bothered sending this out and everyone I spoke to who had their speaker reconed...
