    What do you consider modern metal ?

    There is no modern metal. There is metal or there is no metal. A lot of current bands pretend to be metal and and parasitizing this word. Musicians who play drums, bass and guitars. Is this a met condition for metal? They don't even look like metal. Metal is THE energy that the band gives to the...

    New GZ CNC logos…

    IMHO. The new logo draws too much attention to itself. It is not very in harmony with the rest, especially with the fine lines on the control panel (the old logo is better in this). Perhaps this is due to the rather thick frame of the logo and also the color of the logo. It also breaks the...

    Just delivered: St Rock React IR

    Impedance curve of the speaker in a cab shifts and depends mostly on the volume of the cab. So "V30 curve" can mean anything.

    Just delivered: St Rock React IR

    There is not too much to complain about St.Rock. What annoys me a lot is that 3.5mm headphone jack, as I use headphones really often. Studio device equipped with 3.5 mm jack is from another world (walkman world). In addition, I would welcome manual switching of the input signal source...

    EVH 5150 III Comparison: all three EVH 100w amps

    Thanks. I thought so, wasn't sure about the stealth version anyway, never seen a schematic. Cathode follower is not counted as a gain stage of course, otherwise we could also count the tubes in the effect loop as a gain stage, or even the PI and power tubes.

    Battle of the Bass Guitars

    I played bass a few years before switching to guitar. Played clarinet a few years before bass :) @midnightlaundry That AP5 is a great bass. I played it once, guy was selling it for 500 Eur and I regret not buying it.

    The Kerry King band unveils logo… and Paul Bostaph is on board

    I don't think anyone has much against him, or disrespects him. It's more about how his playing fits into Slayer's style music. https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/why-paul-bostaph-didn%E2%80%99t-play-on-slayer%E2%80%99s-divine-intervention.283083/

    Fortin NATAS Pedal/Preamp

    Ahh, it's delivered with a stand, so it's worth the price :). However, it sounds good.

    All speakers in phase? Check with 9V battery?

    Yes, that's how it works. Just connect the battery only for a second or so, otherwise you will discharge it fast. edit: plus of the battery to the plus of the speaker causes cone to move "out"

    NGD ENGL FIREBALL 60

    Without a doubt it is a mod.

    Why Paul Bostaph didn’t play on Slayer’s Divine Intervention

    I don't know if it's the sound of Paul's drums or his technique when he plays with Slayer, but I always feel like he is behind the band. I also don't like his (snare) fills, they're always a mess, especially when compared to Dave's surgically precise hits.

    Preamp Tube Tidbit

    Just for fun and imagination, simulation of different tubes in a somehow standard stage. And here with 500p caps across anode resistors.

    I would be more surprised if they were getting worse and worse :)

    KSR Orion - Beastly Lunchbox Amp

    @killertone I wouldn't buy anything based just on your review. I believe that even a fridge with a broken compressor would sound great under your hands :).

    Anyone else find switchable wattage amps....

    My Engl Savage SE sounds worse on 50W setting, even on low volume. The same with Marshall SC20. Laboga Mr.Hector was ok on lower setting, but still missed something.

    What Passive Bridge Pickup Is Closest To An EMG 81?

    Those old good strings should be trashed? :) BW vs. 81? Have them both, I like BW much more.

    Right-Angled Cables for Amps

    Try to find suitable pedalboard patch cable. Some of them have small jack bodies. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GL155Pedal20--george-ls-guitar-patch-cable-20-inch

    Comparison is the root of unhappiness!

    Especially if one sniffs it from below :)

    Those new cheap Kramers

    Copy/Paste I bought a Baretta Special and sold it right away. Poor HW, poor fretwork. Hardware is cheap, tremolo unusable, no discussion here. Necessary to change trem, tuners, nut. Because that guitar never stayed in tune at least 1 minute. And the fretwork was really bad. Sharp fret edges and...
