Set it up, and the damned thing is probably the best or one of the best playing guitars I have. I have Vintage and current USA Jacksons and Charvels, Tom Andersons, PRS Custom, USA Fenders and Gibsons, ESPs, *thinking* other guitars and this damned thing has a better neck and fretwork than 90%...

So my friend in the brown truck brought me a 1970 Marshall Superlead. Built in January of '70, just like me. :D I'm in much better shape though, this poor guy is beat to shit! The tolex is pretty ragged in spots, it's missing a knob, one of the center caps is gone from another knob, Marshall...

Put some $ down on a Jan 1970 Superlead. 100 watts, original transformers, mustard caps still there on the board, does had a hole in the back but the circuit was restored to stock and filter caps replaced. She's a little rough looking, but I do have 48 hours to check it out when I get it. This...

Had one of these back in '04, had to sell it. Spent a long time finding this one, it's staying here for awhile. :) Guitar is a '89 Jackson Archtop Student Soloist. USA made, has a very early mother of pearl jackson logo. No idea if that's why it's missing the made in usa or not. This one is...

Don't have any gigs scheduled for the rest of the year, so I grabbed the marshall and cab from downstairs and put em in the mancave - and thought it might be cool to put all my marshalls together. I love my Bogner 101B for convenience, but there's just something sweet about an old marshall...

have a gig friday, been thinking about this: Running the '72 SuperLead into a hotplate set to load, take the line out from the hotplate to fx, then fx to VHT 2/90/2 poweramp into a cab. Am I crazy, or has anyone else done something like this? I love the SL tone, but no effects is messing with...

Was curious if anyone did clips of the same amp through different cabs... I was thinking of doing this for grins. I have the following 4x12s easily accessible for clips: 1) '72 stock Marshall with greenbacks and a plywood back 2) '76 stock Marshall with blackbacks, mdf back 3) '80s stock...

I have an old Marshall with loose (and possibly wrong) grillcloth, was going to redo it and I also have a boogie oversize 4x12 w/armor that has a tear, so I'd like to replace it also. 1) best place to buy grillcloth material? Specifically black and basketweave. 2) are there any online 'how to'...

Am about to take the back off of her and see what speakers are inside... I was told V30s, cab sounds great. Question for the marshall experts - does this look like a '72 cab? It has the square metal '100 watts' label on the back instead of the later round ones, but has plastic handles. The...

6MqzFN5-5jk Allan Holdsworth burning up a Charvel in the 80s. Interesting thing - the beginning of the solo he does this two handed tapping technique where he's tapping two strings at once - something that Satch 'borrowed' for a few tunes years later. I'd like this song better without Chris...

I sold my '92 classic to a guy, and pulled the tubes before shipping. Amp arrived in perfect shape - he even sent me a text stating how well the amp was packed. When retubing it, he put a 12ax7 in the driver position and told me how 'weird' the amp sounded. Over the phone I made sure he put the...

Going to run my Mesa Quad Preamp with my dual recto rackmount and hopefully be able to select any 6 channels with the power section of the Mesa. Crazy? : ) Now to figure out how to route this stuff with the ground control. Any ideas? I could probably do it with my fractal and GCX, and just run...

So, last night took the mighty VHT UL to the gig. Wheeled in the 1/2 stack, set it up, powered it on standby while I gathered other gear and set it up. Hit the standby switch, got a loud POP and the power tubes flashed briefly, stayed lit and the amp stayed on, but no sound. SHIT! Replaced...

Ok, trying to figure this out and I don't want to get beat up on the fractal forum. What I'd like to do is get a impulse file of my VHT fatbottom cab and SM57 to use with my axe fx. So if I got the voxengo convolver software, ran the sine sweep tone through my 2/90/2 poweramp into the fatbottom...

Ok, so I show up friday for a gig. Dial in my 2009 Freyette UL where I want it. Put the amp on standby after soundcheck, go get a beer, relax a bit before we go on. Get onstage, first song, time for the first solo - lead channel footswitch 'blinks' and then goes back to rhythm channel. WTF...

I'm thinking about getting a little more serious with my recording setup - for ease of use and I just enjoy recording my stuff, my band and others. Here's what I currently have - a Korg D3200 32 track digital recorder. Been running everything 'direct' but vocals to it (I use a V-drum kit...

Trying to get most of the amps on one wall and then a few on the sides, leave the other clear for guitars, may have to hang more guitars in the room next to it that I'm going to turn into a tracking room so I can monitor 'live' mic recordings in the mancave. Have some XLR jacks and such coming...

So I bought a G50. $399 at GC. my quick, dragnet style review: Good Stuff: 1) uses 2 AA batteries on the reciever, up to 8 hours. 2) cable from transmitter to guitar is short but not too short - but not a freakin' jumprope like most. 3) reciever has an actual clip on it that works, not a little...

Witness... 1960 Fender brown Concert. 4x10, 40w of vintage badassery. Right between the tweeds and blackfaces in the evolutionary scale. Cabinet is a repro, but electronics are 100% stock with the exception of a 3 prong plug and replaced filter caps. Faceplate and backplate and knobs are...

Great subject, eh? Had a friend of mine over last weekend who plays guitar but is a lot more into the guitar stuff than amps. We hung out and played guitars and stuff. I thought his take on the amps above were pretty interesting. He's around my age (40) and grew up playing 80s metal like me...
