I think he got called out one time for always posting threads of his videos and not participating in any discussion and he spazzed. I could be getting him mixed up with someone else.

Fluorescent lights and such also can induce a lot of interference into your guitar’s electronics if they are unshielded or insufficiently shielded. I’m sure it’s obvious but if the noise is only present or mostly present when the guitar is plugged in and its volume is up then it’s more of a...

I have never liked the nylon jazz picks. I like the 1mm and 1.14mm Tortex Jazz III’s sometimes (the ones I have white or black). I also like the Primetone Jazz III’s, I think they’re the 1.4mm. Pricey but they don’t seem to wear down much with use. I generally feel more comfy with the plain old...

Glorious…and a very good price for an HD-28!

And Biden tried to put one of them in charge of the ATF. Infamously took trophy pictures in front of the charred remains.

Considering the ATF/FBI burned down and demolished the building with people still inside, I don’t think the gear made it.

I mean, don't you think that's more space than you really need? Mr. Bigshot "I can almost stand upright in my pod?"

I have started to see prices get more reasonable locally but also the inventory is drying up. But even when supposedly everyone was trying to buy gear in the past couple years I had trouble selling stuff. I would even take offers that were almost low balls and dudes would always flake out. I...

Next thing I am going to buy for sure. I usually have about 124v from my outlets but have seen it as high as 127. I considered buying a variac as it is like 1/4 the cost but it also apparently weighs (actually 11lbs, Circuit Specialists has an error on their site that says 25) compared to the...

I really want to try one of these, either his or the Solo Dallas. I wonder if there are any noteworthy differences between them?

I mean the dude no respect, but Sweetwater needs to get someone younger and more capable with better ears to do their metal oriented demos. The dude from Grim Reaper seems arthritic or out of practice and never seems to have amps dialed in very well.

I know they didn't make the Sky King for too long before the other parent company pre-BAD went out of business. I didn't realize the original had the built-in attenuators.

I think the one in the OP video must be from the pre-BAD era. This video from Psionic Audio shows the inside of a more recent revision, and the implementation is entirely different and more run-of-the-mill:

The flip side is we at least had actual music scenes where you could actually play music with other human beings and play actual shows. The current technology is amazing for songwriting and - up to a point - allowing you to self-record, but there is a degree of growth as a player and just plain...

That sounds absolutely killer!

The only decent deals I ever see on older Fenders are Twins and Super Reverbs, for exactly that reason. Long gone are the days of 70’s Deluxes and Princetons being a bargain.

I don’t know where you’re pulling these price ideas from but OK. If I ever see a Cali Tweed around here for $1k I might bite. A Cali Tweed is still a single channel Tweed take. If that’s all I was looking for I would probably buy or build a simple 5e3 clone. The point of the Imperial and Sky...

I’ve seen the Imperial MKII come up used for less than 2K recently in my area. I’m more interested in that than the Sky King. They both are essentially attempts to offer Tweed and Blackface tones together along with a lot of extra features like the built-in attenuation. I’d use that for a lot...

Yeah I can see that it makes sense, but it’s surprising to me that they would go with such an unorthodox implementation considering this is an amp at least presumably based on the Fender Deluxe. I wonder what made them want to design it that way and also if the Imperial MKII is the same? I’m...

This is the first time I've seen a video of one of these being worked on and I've never seen anything like it (not that I'm any kind of amp tech):
