Anyone use a plain old PA speaker for tweaking modeler patches? Had considered monitors, but feel like they won’t give me an idea at volume. What speakers are you using?

I like this. Really good advice. I just need to train my brain to think a different way.

This is exactly what my teacher tells me. But, you do need some basic vocabulary lessons to speak!

I know a few scales I am just at this point struggling not to play them in a scalar fashion. Keep it interesting. Hard to do

That’s really interesting. I find myself doing that too, but then don’t always remember what I play. I also have a hard time “unboxing” myself. I swear learning scale boxes is more curse than help.

There’s a video out there of “5 tones” that’s great. For some reason those settings don’t even sound close on mine.

I have a KSR Eros that I've been mostly using as a boost, but I'm curious how people dial them in when using it more as an overdrive/distortion pedal?

I’ve got a Line6 Helix that I plan to use for a band. I need something in the way of a powered speaker to dial in my patches because I plan to DI to FOH. It would also be nice if it were portable enough to serve as my “cab” for band practice. I had a Powercab212+ and absolutely hated it; I AB’d...

i've got a Diezel VH4 and a Fryette SigX. i've heard time and again a MV amp doesn't need an attenuator. i have mixed feelings on that. the VH4 is hifi and fizzy at lower volumes. the Ox Box got rid of that but did suck some of the tone. kind of a no-win, that one.

A lot of love for the Fryette on the forums . . . But doesn’t that have a tube in it? I’m looking for a minimal fuss option that doesn’t require maintenance. With that said, the more I think about it, the more I do like the idea of something that can handle variable impedance since I have a...

Opinions on something that just does attenuation and does it well? Tried the Ox Box, pretty nice, but had a hard time getting the volume right between the set levels. Also noticed a bit of tone suck. I’m not really doing a bunch of recording (yet?) nor do I need a lot of the bells and whistles...

I'm a rookie to the speaker game, only having played V30s. For reference, I have a Diezel VH4 w/ matching 412 w/ V30s; just picked up a Marshall 1936 w/ M65 cream backs. Both sound glorious. I've looked at charts on the Celestion website, but is anyone willing to give a quick and dirty verbal...

Jackpot! Great stuff. Thanks folks!!

Sold a guy a brand new set of bkp pickups at a steal and he knocked me for not including the coaster…WTF?

Being a total noob I’m just not sure if a 212 cab with creambacks is going to be vastly different/better than a rear loaded Diezel 412 with v30s? I’m sure it’s apples to oranges.

what gain channel are we talking about - rhythm or lead?

what kind of music do you play? i tend to play pretty heavy music, but i don't see why a Marshall can't do that. folks tell me that creambacks aren't great for heavy music, but a lot of players i respect use them and their tone is glorious. i think it's worth a try

Well I’m down to that or a Marshall 1936 for the same price. It’s not about the brand name per se, but I can’t AB them so I have to wing it a bit. The Marshall is horizontal but it has creambacks which I’ve wanted to try. That said, the Z is vertical which I like and I could just swap in a...

I’ve been after a vertical 212 cab, and there’s a Z Best cab for sale at a decent price. It’s ported which I like the idea of. Anyone know much about these guys for rock or metal?

I have one, yes. But watching the video the underlying sound of the amp is there without it. I’m just not even getting close.
