    Anyone here into hardcore or punk styles of playing?

    Throw us a drum track up here. I'm game. I'll spit in it's face n punch it in the mouth while giving it the middle finger! :lol: :LOL: I'm 43, but still play aggressive.

    I Don't Get JJ Preamp Tubes

    In my experience... amp.. and position. I can "hear" a JJ pre in the pre a lot of the time in my amps. My Rockmaster pre was.. nah, but my EVH5150III loves 'em. I just don't like it in V1.. I went with reissue Mullard CV4004. Never had a ecc83s failure or 6l6GC. EL34's... different story. I put...

    A few thoughts on the original Peavey Vypyr series

    I bought the 120 with Sanpara II footswitch 8 years or so ago. At first I loved it. You could set your amp model, fx, whatever and hit the switch and all was well.. cleans, dirt, and heavy if you want. I put it on a stand and it would keep up with a half stack no problem. The first issue I had...

    1 more time: let's talk EVH & Stealth

    Does his mod turn the regular 5150III to a stealth.. for real? I mean if they were side by side, could you tell the difference other than aesthetics? If It does I'll send mine. I think the blue channel alone is worth it.

    +2. Whithin the next year I will be rebuilding my Ampeg V-2 in my avatar.. (attempting anyway) along with learning basic amp design. I will need AALLlll the help I can get, wherever I can get it. Plus once I understand what's going on, how to make small changes in the amp to achieve the tone I...

    JJ-100 only accept EL34's ?

    So I can safely run 6l6GC's in a BE100 if they bias right? :confused: ... had no idea.

    BE100 Toasty Resistor.. Heeeyalp!

    Thanks, I expect coincidence. I thought maybe when I put the fuse back in, the fuse holder hit the resistor and something grounded, but it was clear. I'm no tech. I can solder, use a multimeter, know how to read (barely) wiring/schematic diagrams, but I was afraid if I do anything it will void...

    BE100 Toasty Resistor.. Heeeyalp!

    LP Freak asked a question concerning fuses for BE100, I pulled out Main, looked at it, put it back. Pulled out H.T., looked at it, put it back. Told him what I had in my amp. I flipped on my amp and let it warm up. Flipped standby on and ANGANNGANGANGANGANANG.. Amp made a horrible noise. I...

    BE100 Fuse

    Mine is from 2014, Mains- 4A SLO, (the one that came in mine reads 4A/250VP) H.T.- 2A (250V/2A). As far as a specific brand, I can't recommend. I blew the 2A when a tube went bad, the hardware store had a 4 pack for a couple bucks. It's been in there over a year with no problems.

    Amp Mod Availability

    Dave, I have the monies, when will you be available to do mods again? I have a BE-100 that I would like a gain switch and a few others. Thank you

    Wah models...

    Another vote for this. I had early 70's cry baby, muff fuzz, and Electric Mistress that one of my "buddies" decided needed them more than me. Not my buddy anymore.. This has that vibe to them and is easily adjustable.
