I’d go jet city 50w head, easy to service with a decent amount of gain, peavys are a literal hell to fix. As for cabs I’d stay away from the Marshall mg cabs, stick with the classics like a 1960. I see them on CL for decent prices. Also around me recto cabs can be cheap and are a wise choice.

Hey man, you get enough beers and cocaine, any room with a guitar becomes an arena.

What shape does she find cool, and how big are her hands? For that style I don’t think scale length is all that important but a wider vs narrower nut is something to consider. Sometimes new players want space to finger cords and others struggle with stretching they’re hands out.

They’ve been mentioned here before but this is one of my favorite tones, and the entire album is packed with great riffs and solos. Honorable mention to iconoclast on that same album. Gotta pick up a music man or whatever was used on this album soon.

The biggest threat to tube amps if home ownership and cost of living, hard to crank any amp in an apartment or your parents house. All it takes is someone with cool shit (such as the people on this forum) as most kids have never heard tubes in person much less played them. Plug a kid into a...

Pulled from another forum but… v1 r1 and lead v2 r2 and lead v3 lead and loop v4 reverb v5 pi Never found a chart from mesa. V1 is the tube socket with a shield mount, also the board will state which tube is what. Not sure if the coli’s layout differs from traditional short heads but they...

I misspoke on that one, meant to say v1. From what I gather the three first tubes have an influence on the lead channel.

One thing to add. Try an old Mullard in the lead channel (I think) slot if you have any. Adds a nice level of cut and aggression while keeping low end flub out or high end ice pick.

I have a no stripe but have yet to play a green stripe. From what I know the green stripe is mostly a blue stripe with small improvements and an extra 10 watts of output. I think the black stripe premium tends to be because people think they all come with the 105 power transformer, and because...

Talking out my ass but I don’t think they have more than 3-4 people building stuff, spread that out over 10ish labor intensive products and it makes sense. They could farm that shit out to BAD and rake in cash. Set up alerts if you can, that’s how I found my 2A as a “blem” on sale.

Hell yeah dude. Eagerly waiting on a stereo coli + 1959 clip. Absolutely bitchin find.

Is that still a cathode follower? I remember you posting some specs on it a while back but forget. Amazed you got that amount of thickness out of a jca20.

Aside from some small stuff this is the main rotation. 2203 special sauce clone on a mesa road king cab, v30’s and M65’s. 1985 no stripe DRG on its matching 2x12. 1979 2203 on its matching blackback 1960a.

You either need a 1ohm resistor tied from pins 1 and 8 to ground to read the current or a bias tool which will allow you to do the same. With that and your plate voltage (pin 3) you’ll be able to set it if I understood you correctly.

Thanks for the info man, I think your officially the 1987 and blue murder historian. It’s nice to have actual answers and backstories to all this stuff.

Liked his work with the animal drive, back to the roots stuff. I don’t find his voice to work especially well with chunky modern metal riffs, and it gets a bit tiring after a while. Almost needs someone to write with as his vocal abilities outpace his ability to write great lyrics. Also, can we...

He posted up some gut shots in a video, might be that one. Board looks 99% stock surprisingly. Looks like he might have a cap over the 820 on v2. Hard to believe though, surely dosent sound like my 2203.

Must haves: properly cut nut, thick neck, les Paul nut width at a minimum, jumbo frets, smooth as possible fretboard (typically maple or ebony), 12 inch or flatter radius (within reason), independent volume and tones, HH pickup configuration, easily sweepable pickup selector… so basically a les...

It’s a ripoff with slight changes and options to offer more versatility over the slo, and as time went on more of the recto changed. The slo tonestack is a 47k slope 0.022 mid and bass caps with a 470pf peaker on the slo, compared to the recto which is the same although one TS has a 500pf...

The early recto compared to a slo is nearly identical in terms of the preamp from best I can tell, and no way two different guys came to the exact same preamp configuration. The only real difference I could find was no input grid on v1 in the recto an an additional resistor on the cathode of v1...
