Oh and obviously a big thanks! to Wayne for this. I've been wanting another one of these forever so I can Velcro one on my board, but the focus rarely come up anymore and I'm sure they'd want $300 or more for one these days. IMO there's nothing better as a boost for actives and very-high-output...

Griffin Analog's new "scythe" boost is everyone's chance to get a vfe focus clone that has a couple slight improvements. a. The scythe has a slightly wider frequency spectrum than the focus when both pedals are set at absolute minimum filtering, in other words with the toggles set to shallow...

Anyone else dig earlier Behemoth? After The Apostacy album I lost interest because it all started sounding the same to me.

I'll correct myself. CC uses a mix of EVM mesa cabs and V30 mesa cabs, not mixed in the same cabs.

V30 by a mile IMO, but mixed is better. That's what CC uses in their Mesa cabs.

I'd suggest a quad of classic lead 80s. The newest versions are UK-made, but the MIC versions are killer too. Also there are the UK-made Mesa 90w black shadow versions that are very close to the same thing.

For me it's a tie between MOP and AJFA. Kill'm and RTL are both great too but they really peaked in the late 80s IMO.

The Scythe (focus) is actually a big win for anyone wanting a very organic gain/mid-booster. The term "transparent" gets very overused these days when it comes to boost/od circuits, but these really earn that description because when you engage it you still retain so much of the same...

Holy scythe that looks amazing Wayne!

I don't have any guitars at E, but if I did it would be 9-44 for me. I use 9.5-46 for Eb with 25.5" scale.

The current Deicide crew is sounding simply amazing these days.

Think they'll do a reissue triple too?

Death Metal goat is Deicide My favorites are the S/T and then Once Upon The Cross, followed closely by Legion and Serpents.

That's my favorite track on the JB album. Anyone who thinks he was all sweeps and showboat speed obviously hasn't made it to Opus Pocus.

I'm fairly even across the pickup brand spectrum. IME it's all about finding the right model match for each individual guitar.

I love Orgasmatron , but it wasn't originally on Arise, they later added it as a bonus track on later runs. As for #1 rock anthem of all time,,,,,,,in reality I'd say Juke Box Hero is, but We Will Rock You is more known the world over so maybe it's #1. I'd say ac/dc should get #1 rock band...

Yeah, great tube source. A few years back, fortunately before the tube panic I stocked-up on the Mesa coke bottle 420 and the older Chinese Mesa silver square-getter 12ax7. They basically were just standard prices for the day, not priced like NOS.

Luminlay side dots enhance visibility for low-light stage performances These are all you need really.

Not feel'n it either. I like them all but this sounds very uninspired IMO.

I much prefer the SOH tone because it's darker and thicker IMO. RIB sounds too crystal clear for me,,,really brash and trebly, but that does fit the tone I think of as "thrashy".
