    DiMarzio D Activator

    How is the bridge model? I'm talking about the non-X. I'm curious about it. Thinking about dropping one in a guitar to replace a Duncan Distortion. I like the Distortion, but I want to try other stuff out. FWIW, I really like the EMG 81 and Black Winter. The Distortion, while it's great, isn't...

    I'm interested as well. I'm thinking about dropping one in my PRS Singlecut. How hot is it? Can it hang with the Duncan Distortion and Black Winter?

    Tube sreamer that...

    The Maxon OD808 cuts noticeably less bass than the TS808 also. And I agree. The Duncan 805 kicks ass. I love mine.

    Gotoh FR question

    Yeah, there's a bit less distance between the edge of the low E saddle and the edge of the baseplate. It's the same with an OFR. That's the way they design them, for some reason. Other than that, the saddles don't look misaligned to me.

    Any Love for the Peavey XXX?

    I used to have one. Solid amp. Both the Ultra and Crunch channels were very useable for high-gain rhtyms, thoug I feel both had a tad too much gain and were hard to control with high-output pickups. Good amp nonetheless.

    Better than EL84's, I guess.

    What makes a Klon so different than a standard TS9?

    The Tube Screamer blends the clean signal with the overdriven signal as well.

    Favorite EL34s for a Mesa Rectifier?

    Tung Sols if you want warm, smooth, and chewy. :D

    Help with guitar recording frequencies

    I like quad-tracked rythm guitars with a pair hard panned, and another pair 3dB lower and panned 90%. 80 I feel is too narrow, but each to his own. I like to low pass at 12K. I do like some fizz up top. I feel it makes the guitars more airy and 3D. I also feel high passing at 100 Hz is too...

    Ordered All New Planet Waves Custom Cables Today

    The Custom series cables I own have been rock solid and they sound good... ...but! The American Stage cables I own sound noticeably better. They're not as tough, though.

    Thick string players? Am I alone?

    I use EB's 12-56, but I tune down a whole step. I agree with D-Rock about the tone of thicker strings, though. At some point, they become a bit dull and boomy-sounding. I like to go as thin as I can go while still being playable (I think too light strings are awkward to play too).

    New DSLs...

    Thank you, dudes! The amp is a bit low-middy, but that makes it pretty chunky. I'm going to try some EHX tubes in it to see if I can make it a bit less stuffy. And hi, Jung! :)

    Show off your new stuff

    I grabbed a Marshall DSL1HR and a PRS SE Mike Mushok baritone. I also got a Boss GE-7, but we all know what those look like. :D

    New DSLs...

    FWIW, I love the tone and functionality of my DSL1HR I just got to replace my Randall RD1H. I know it's just a 1W amp, but I love it. This is a quick short test I made with it into my 1960A wih H-75 Creambacks: https://www.dropbox.com/s/69bq9l7xwjl55 ... 3.mp3?dl=0 It may not be much, but I...

    Trouble finding the right used metal amp.

    The clean tone on a 6505+ isn't as bad as a regular 6505. Hell, I wouldn't say the cleans are worse than on a Recto either.

    How is the EVH 112 cab?

    No idea. Don't they recommend two of them with the 50W head? I know the 50W combo comes with a G12EVH-50, which is a tweaked version of the G12H Anniversary that handles more watts. I don't think they put those in the 1x12 cabs, though. Then again, they also recommend the 80W 4x12 with the...
