    JJ6V6 - the forgotten tube...any love?

    I was using 'em in my RM50 for quite a while... as an old Deluxe Reverb player, there's just something great about the "feel" of 6V6's. Now my RM50's on ebay, haven't figured out what to do with the 6V6's yet... thought about putting them in the RM100 and doing a mixed quad with 5881's, only...

    Anyone Running An M4 In Stereo?

    I'm running an M4 in stereo now, using a Digitech GSP1101 for effects, a VHT 2/50/2 power amp, and two V-30 loaded 4x12's. Biggest downside is that the GSP1101 isn't quite as stereo-friendly as other processors (i.e., not as many mixing/panning options), so I pretty much only notice it when...

    Is it me or does the EG5 sound like...

    ...one more reason for me to get an EG5... just love the tone & playing on that album. --B

    Vai style tones from an Egnater?

    I'll check tonight... I remember either the PAW CD liner notes or tablature book had a full breakdown of the gear used... off the top of my head I can't remember if it was an 800 or 900 but only that it was heavily modded. --B

    Vai style tones from an Egnater?

    Having not tried the EG5 (though I'm planning on sending my MHG in to have it converted), I will say that the EG3/4 dishes up pretty close lead tones for tunes on the Passion & Warfare album... --B

    Killer chops, killer tone... even the east german judge would say that one goes to 11. --B

    Best for Led Zep tones?

    I dig the SL for classic rock tones... typically I use the "A" channel for chord-based stuff (AC/DC) and the "B" channel for single-note riffs (Zep). --B

    Would you... trade an MHG for an EG5?

    Oh I know that feeling... I used to play a Triaxis + 2:90 + 2 G-flex ported cabs for gigs... that'd shake the balls off of about any living creature. Suddenly I must have an EG5. I just dropped an email to Jeff to ask about modding my MHG to EG5 specs. I can foresee that matching up nicely...

    Would you... trade an MHG for an EG5?

    Hmmm... good to know on both counts... that I can get an approx MHG tone by dialing in the EG5 the right way, and that I could get my MHG modded to EG5 specs. Another ?: Is there considerable difference between channels A & B on the EG5? --B

    Would you... trade an MHG for an EG5?

    Semi-philosophical, semi-practical question here... for those of you who have had both an MHG and EG5, would you give up your MHG for an EG5? or said another way, once you have the EG5, would you ever go back to the MHG? Two reasons I ask... 1) seems like everybody on the forum is obsessed (in...

    My Mod 50 story...

    Nice pictures... I almost got a whiff of that "new amp smell". Congrats on the new toy! --B

    EG5 A/B voicing ?

    Classic... my last band used to have a tune called "Guitar Center" where we all detuned, turned the gain up to 10, and proceeded to play different songs at the same time. One of those "art rock" pieces that was totally lost on most folks but totally loved by fellow musicians. :p --B

    If I was going to make a module....

    That's pretty hot... I kept staring at it thinking that the EQ sliders could just be decorative, permanently fixed in the "classic Mesa V" shape... Then I realized, it still doesn't have enough tone-shaping options to look like a real Mesa amp, thus... That's more like it. ;) This may...

    Where to order Egnater-style knobs ?

    Quick Q... I have an M4, an RM50 Palomino, and several dual-channel modules that have cream knobs on them, and one old single-channel module with black knobs. Anybody know where I could order a set of cream knobs for the single-channel module? Thanks, --B

    If I was going to make a module....

    Nice, Jim! Gotta agree with that... a Mark-type module with a IIc rhythm tone (Metallica) & IV lead tone (Petrucci) would be my top pick. I played Mesa (Triaxis, Mark III/IV, others) for years, and there's nothing in the Egnater lineup that really cops that tone/feel. Totally dig the idea of...

    Module Storage

    When I first got into the MTS gear (and was waiting for the official Randall module case to ship), I put together my own case... Basically just a Craftsman soft-sided tool bag with some styrofoam/padding for module protection. Doesn't hold as many as the Randall case, but works perfect...

    How is this for my "PLAN"?

    Looks like a good plan to me... I'm using an M4 and 2/50/2 right now, and (though I don't have one now) have always liked the G-Major. Let me know how the Tourmaster 4x12's work out... I've got a mismatched set of 4x12's now (a Rocktron 4x12 and a Randall 4x12, both with V30's), but kinda dig...

    Egnater Clip Collective

    Well, this took longer than expected... I thought I'd get 4-5 tracks done this weekend, but I spent so much time fiddling with the stupid drum loops that I only got 2 tracks done. Anyway, here's an excerpt from the second tune (the full-length track will be posted once the vocals are recorded)...

    <ElvisModeOn>Thank you, thank you very much.</ElvisModeOff> Funny thing about that tune... my wife and I wrote it about a year ago when we were putting together a blues band. Turns out, that song is exactly all the blues I had in me (obviously not much, 'cause you can tell I gave up on the...

    Egnater Clip Collective

    Ok, here's the first track, working some of the lower-gain modules... still needs a few tweaks to the mix, but you get the basic idea: http://studio.depalma-duersch.com/turnandrun.mp3 For the record, here's what you're hearing: - L rhythm: G&L ASAT through the Deluxe side of the T/D...
