Heartbreaking. Didn’t know him personally, but a killer guitar player, a guy happy to share his knowledge, and a nice guy to boot. His posts about Zakk Wylde’s gifts to boost his spirits brought a tear to my eye. My favorite RT thread ever. RIP, Todd.

Yep, love how he walks back his handwringing around the 9:00 mark: "People will always love tube amplifiers...people will always play tube amplifiers...there will always be a demand for tube amplifiers..." ?‍♂️

I believe hearing from a Tone Talk with Dave Friedman that when Seimens stopped making EL34s they were the only producer of EL34s at the time and the reason Marshall starting shipping amps with 5881s. EL34s came back because there was a demand for it. There's still a demand for replacement tubes...

Anyone get good results with a Friedman BE-OD through the normal channel of a plexi style amp? Some unexpected medical bills came up so it looks like I’m going to sell either my Suhr SL68 or Friedman BE-100. Love the SL68, but I only play it through the top left, high treble channel as the...

OP, I swear I’m not a believer in guitar tone mojo, and my mantra has always been if it sounds good it is good, but there are a specific set of specs on a Strat that more often than not has led to better traditional Strat sounds for me over other configurations. This isn’t just for fenders, but...

Tough choice, but RIP was the reason I bought my first guitar. Tight rhythm playing and Marty’s solos were unlike anything I’d heard before. Still think Tornado of Souls is one of the greatest solos of all time in any genre of music.

Sorry to hear about the issues you’re having, OP. Sucks and it’s frustrating. Been there. Currently having an issue with a Bogner Ecstasy 101b, myself. I’m on my fourth SL68. It’s the amp I keep coming back to. Run them hard and I’ve never had a problem with any of them. Go figure.

Great song. Love letter to the VH days. Not always a fan of nostalgia, but goddamn…some things were so good they’re worth being nostalgic about.

I appreciate the work Monkey Man does here on the forum. The classifieds thing was a little strange and it kind of came out of the blue, but it was apparently needed. Monkey clearly puts a lot of time into moderation here and is trying to clean things up all for the betterment of the forum...

Jason Bieler. Tone just crushes. Solo rips too.

I remember this song on a compilation I bought from Eruption Video back in the late eighties/early 90s. Until not too long ago I also had a cassette tape from a ‘76 club show that was almost all covers. Pretty sure their cover of Sugarloaf’s “don’t call us - we’ll call you” was on it. I don’t...

I liked what he said about narrowing that album down as being the first recorded example of 12301 being modded with the fat cap. When Dave Friedman, John Suhr, and others have mentioned that the amp was essentially stock, I always assumed they were referring to the fat cap, otherwise they...

Sure thing! The volume knob placement being adjusted is very minute, but I first noticed it when I overlaid an HRR pickguard with a regular Strat one. I saw the HRR on the guitar center page, which I’d guess you’ve seen too, but I didn’t mention it as there’s been a ton of hardware changed on...

Looked like this was on Reverb then it was marked as sold there. Is this still available?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of these. They typically pop up online two or three times a year. Buyer beware, I’ve owned two of these and passed on several as (IMO) they were built with a design flaw: a tendency to develop cracks on the back cavity wall of the humbucker rout between the...

I have one. Really liked it a lot. Used it with a Suhr SL68 and I was happy with the tones, pushing it for more gain into 2203-ish territory. Sold the amp, so the Lynch Mod is now stored away.

Owned a ‘16 BE and an ‘08 101b. Compared them extensively and kept the Bogner. Loved the BE, but I just preferred the range of tones more on the XTC. It’s a Swiss Army knife and completely satisfied my need for Marshall-ish tones, even right next to a Suhr SL68. Needs some volume to sound its...

Megadeth is no more a band than Bon Jovi is.
