I always thought Ron Jarzombek was really unique, underrated player.

This got me inspired to fire up my Stealth! I almost forgot how cool it is for such a cheap amp.

My Metalhead modded JCM 800 has 3 gain controls, the original preamp volume then two added gain pots from the mod. The preamp volume (gain 1) seems to effect the character of the gain, while the 2 additional pots just add gain to what you already have dialed in. The two added controls don't...

That's me! I wish I had played something a little more composed instead of random chugging but it gets the point across :lol: :LOL: . The amp totally crushes! It's aggressive, clear and tight but still has some warmth that keeps it from sounding too sterile. It has a great feel too, easy to...

A friend of mine has a Skyhammer. I've played it a few times, it's definitely on the loose side. It's a cool amp and has it's own thing going on...very thick sounding with a lot of gain on tap.

This has been on my to-do list for quite some time, glad to see some feedback about it. My music room is rectangular with 4 bare walls and sounds terrible. Huge difference (for the good) when I use my rig anywhere but there.

Very true. I found that Shuguang 12AX7B's sound best in my Metalhead modded 800 but they didn't sound quite as good as other tubes in my stock 800.

:lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: I guess I need to log on here more often! I wasn't quite sure what to expect because I bought the amp off Reverb without hearing it. I was stoked when I plugged into it and low and behold, it totally nailed that early FF tone. I can't wait to...

Decent pickups too. Unless you're a stickler for 50's specs, Norlin-era Gibsons are definitely worth checking out. I love mine.

I used to use them when I first started playing, they were all my local music store carried. Once I began trying other brands the Boomers fell out of favor for me. I've been stuck on regular D'Addario XLs for a number of years now.

:lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: I thought the same thing as soon as I saw that Helix video posted.

I don't have a huge collection but I'm pretty satisfied with my current setup and my GAS focus is moving back toward guitars. That being said, there are still a ton of amps I'd like to get my hands on just because :lol: :LOL: .

I'd attend an ampfest in a heartbeat if I saw one reasonably close by. I have to drive about 2 hours to find a music store that carries higher quality gear and even then it's still mostly mainstream run-of-the-mill stuff.

I've been wondering about this thing myself, seems like it would be great for a pedalboard based fly-in rig. I would probably go with a single channel Marshall and some sort of distortion pedal if I was doing black metal but I imagine a 5150/6505 would be alright too. You want lots of treble...

That thing is clean! It's hard to beat a good single channel 800, they can be more versatile than you'd think.

I haven't listened to any clips of it yet nor am I much of a Misha/Periphery fan but I have to hand it to them, it looks like a lot of thought went into that design and feature set. There's a lot going on but it's incredibly practical.

I use D'Addario EJ22's (13-56) for drop B on my SG and I really like them, they aren't super tight though. The wound G seems to help out a lot too.

Huge fan of those things! I have an SS-140C that was my go to metal amp for years, it's hard to find anything much better for old school death/thrash tones.

I stick with my boring old blue Dunlop Tortex picks. :lol: :LOL:
