    No More Sozos? What are you guys using in your amps?

    I replaced mallory coupling caps with sozos and I liked the Mallory caps better. Of course, this is back when they just had the one premium cap line and didn't have the extra premium ones...

    good monitors around $200??

    You can get KRK Rokit5s for under $200 a pair - much better than any Computer/sub setup. I currently have KRK VXT6s, but have had the 5s in the past and they were great, especially for the money. For under $200 a pair, I don't think you're going find much else that will work as well.

    Van Hagar tones

    I think I got pretty close here. Original guitar first, then it fades, then mine recorded with one of my kemper profiles... https://soundcloud.com/okstrat/feel-you ... tone-match

    Mesa: another reissue -- "King Snake"

    Reissue something that is incredibly expensive or rare. Which.... this is. A II C+ would be a good candidate too. Or even an early (F or earlier) Dual recto two channel, with ONE change - the footswitchable solo boost the later amps had. Chrome chassis, black faceplate. They would sell the...

    Van Hagar tones

    I just thought the tones were interesting. Only VH period I don't like are the Gary Cherone years...

    Van Hagar tones

    The Summer Nights clip was using the transposer built into the kemper, all effects are... kemper. Love this box! I profiled my Hot Rod 50 Soldano for the VH ones and added some magic to em, money for nothing was my '74 50 watt Marshall. https://soundcloud.com/okstrat/van-halen-summer-nights...

    Former Bogner ecstacy owners.. what replaced it?

    One of the few amps I've owned that I never have even thought of selling. It's my desert island amp... every channel isn't perfect but overall it's damn near unbeatable for me.

    I love EBMM guitars, but that forum is pathetic...

    I've owned four EBMM's over the years, they were all nice but once I really got into Tom Anderson guitars for me the search was over. Just my opinion. Plus I don't think there's a builder out there that has better customer service than Tom.

    NIN still has it...

    How did the guitars sound? I think they are Kemper powered.

    Soldano/ Jet City/Fryette/ Kemper guys, help me out...

    Hate to disagree with ya Rupe - I A/B'd a HR 50+ with an SLO, the SLO sounded a bit bigger but I'm sure that was due to 100 watt transformer vs a 50, even at the same volume. The SLO did have a tiny bit more 'magic/clarity/3d/pixie dust/whatever' than the HR, but it was really close. I wouldn't...

    Soldano/ Jet City/Fryette/ Kemper guys, help me out...

    Here's my 10 cents on this, and just my opinion... the MTS stuff is awesome. I modded em for years, but the basic problem is you're only dealing with the preamp. You don't get the different phase inverter/power tube section going. Best option I found was to run the RT 2/50 power amp because you...

    Biasing a Jose

    Who led you to understand it could be biased over 70%? Was it this guy?

    Dumble Overdrive Special

    Nice amp, now send it to Friedman for some mods :D

    Price check: 1986 Jackson Custom Strat

    There's no way that guitar is going to sell to anyone for $2500. I'm not saying it's a bad guitar, just that Jacksons that are non graphic and non sharkfin are around 1200 used guitars tops. I tried to sell a pretty rare san dimas Jackson strat - floyd rose, pointy headstock, but it had a...

    PRS

    My current favorite PRS - Korina w/Brazilian Board. Tone for days and under 7 pounds.

    how do you configure your live rig (mono, wdw, etc)?

    Mono out, because if you run in stereo nobody is really going to 'hear' it unless they are center. I have run stereo monitors though, was actually pretty badass but since it was an extra trip to the car to setup and an extra trip to load, I said screw it.

    Taylor 314ce.. Worth my money?? Any comparable alternatives?

    Buy a used Taylor. If you're worried about buying used, buy used from Guitar Center (they have used gear on their website from across the USA) and use the 30 day guarantee if you get a dud. I spent far less on my 1996 510 in great shape than a new 314ce, and I would think all things being equal...

    Stock vintage Marshall appreciation *Update, NAD!*

    Looked kinda like they were on there. Here's a pic of a vintage marshall cab stripped - I just didn't see the piping slots up top on your cab. Does it have them?
