I took mine (mp-1 rackmount) out of my storage bin last week and started running it into the effects return of a peavey classic 30 head I have. Sounds great. Had a lot of fun messing with it again. Problem is its old and shit is breaking. The input jack got where it was very intermittent and...
Biggest problem with gear not moving is unreasonable pricing...like in this post. Still, if the seller said it was firm I would have respected that and not made an offer.
Was looking at a qsc k10. Mint. guy wanted $650. Well, they are $699 all day long new. Less if I get a coupon at GC or...
I tried one of the 5150 III's out at GC yesterday and thought it sounded really good. I've never tried any of the EVH stuff out before but I was pretty impressed. I was playing at really low volumes but it sounded thick and harmonically complex and very versatile. My main impression was that...
I've never had this problem with a Floyd either. I am running 9's and the guitar is tuned down 1/2 step so Db tuning, standard intervals. I don't think I can stand to go to a lighter string gauge.
I have a guitar with a Floyd that I'm having trouble with setting the intonation on one string. I basically run out of adjustment. I have the screw in the third hole, the one closest to the fine tuners, and am able to get it intonated correctly but in doing so I am having to move the saddle...
Thanks. i've done some of my own pickup installs but never any trouble shooting. It definitely looks like modern wiring according to the diagrams I've seen. I think I would prefer the vintage but with the pots all wide open they should sound the same and the neck pickup still sounds like crud...
Recently bought a 2011 LP which i think has the 498T in the neck. I love the guitar for all around playability and the bridge pup sounds good but the neck pup sounds absolutely awful. Thin and nasal but not in a good way. To the point I was wondering if something was wrong with the wiring. I...
I couldn't bond with mine but it was my fault. All maple neck on a neck through body guitar so the guitar ended up sounding like a slab of maple. as far as build quality it was top notch
I actually prefer it without the cleans. I'd rather run two amps if I absolutely had to have a clean channel. Just never heard a swiss army knife that sounded right to my ears. I don't really know enough about circuit design to say for sure but I suspect in order to optimize things for the...
It's not just the guitar that's too gained out on Different Kind of Truth. The whole mix is too hot and everything gets compressed. The bass is a muddy mess.
So any legal and safe way that isn't going to involve going to some shady website full of viruses to get a copy of this tune, the...
Sounds absolutely killer. I don't suppose you can use an a/b switch and plug into both the high and low inputs at the same time to toggle between the two without having to walk over to the amp. Would be useful on stage?
Also, what is this "clean" tone of which you speak? :D
Sorry didn't notice you had tried 5 different cabs. Dunno.
Most tubes are crap now, not just sovtek.
It's worth it IMO to pay for TADs or get them from Laura or someone who tests them on a load for a while. At least you know they won't blow right away, probably
My 2502 was blowing fuses back to back and I took it in to the tech and he ran it for 12 hours and never could reproduce it. Brought it home and sure enough, pop. Turns out it was a loose connection in my speaker cab. No idea why something in my cab would blow a fuse in my power amp but those...
