This is happening to the whole industry. Everything is being done in the box and the people that used to buy amps no longer play out. Maybe there is a ground swell of a new generation, but I don't see it. Personally, I love my amps, but most are collecting dust and I have a whole storage...
I haven't priced them in a long time to know if that is good or not, but if you want one and it's in good condition and the price is comparable, I would say pull the trigger.
Once you have it, there are old websites out there with patches or at least settings for certain guys sounds. The Ola...
As a long time Triaxis owner and user, I have the non-fat, recto mod sought after version. I can tell you, the recto mode sucks, regardless of which version you have. The updated boards changed the recto mode, but also improved the midi features. If the price is right on the one for sale, I...
Having owned many preamps over the years, I owned the JMP1 for awhile as well, the tubes don't make that much of a difference. You can hear some subtleties, but mostly I tried to find some that weren't crackling after a few hours. Something that I didn't pick up on until much later is, don't...
This isn't locking, but this is all that you need to know;

To answer your question, properly setup, you should stay in tune. Tuning issues occur when the bridge is out of alignment, neutral is too far forward/back, one post is drastically higher than the other...
I go to a lot of hair metal shows, can confirm, Warrant still sound amazing and I don't even care for them. I will add that Firehouse and Winger still sound great as well.
As someone that has more amps than they need, sell/trade the amp, especially if you are already trying to sell it.
Used car salesmen don't look at a trade and think, 'well, I need to move this '12 Subaru, but I can't get $28k for it, but this guy has an '08 Explorer that I can offer $8K for...
What does your signal chain look like? What you described sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. In the past I tried an attenuator and it just made the sound so fuzzy and fizzy, it was not the same. Currently, I run an effects processor in the loop and use that to control the volume so...
I don't have the JVM, but I do have two Marshall derivatives. If you play classic rock, the Marshall all day every day. The Mesa is great at what it does, and I used my triaxis rig in my cover band as well. Listen to any youtube video of Dream Theater on their Images and Words tour circa...
As others have said, it's amazing how similar these all are. At low laptop volume, the 5150 and the VH4 sound nearly identical. It wasn't until the JMP that I thought, he did actually upload something else. Personally, I thought the Marshall sounded the best. The 5150 has something in the...
I saw Bach last year, he still has the range, but his voice is a lot thinner (if you can imagine that). His tone was really harsh. He started the show with three covers in a row and stated that he was just having fun. He seemed happy, but I came away thinking, meh, pretty forgettable.
They...
