    Do you get tired of V30's ?

    I think that V30s sound great when you're playing un-mic'd, with a full band. By themselves, they can get annoying. But when a heavy-hitting drummer and aggressive bass player kick in, the V30s shine.

    New Bogner Pedals at NAMM

    Considering the last 4 Bogner pedals never came out, and the Helios is still not out, I'm not holding my breath on these.

    Polytune in line going to suck tone?

    polytune / koko / BOSS Super Chorus / ISP decimator and an Ibanez DE-7 sitting The Polytune itself is true bypass and doesn't suck tone. What *could* suck tone is 20' of cable to your board, and 20' back to an amp. that's a long cable run, if you didn't have a buffer. but... Your Boss CH1 has...

    Clean boosts. Whatcha ya using? What application?

    RC Boost is great. Very clean. It has the ability to add grit, but it's very transparent. Active EQ too. For me it sounded great before AND after dirt boxes, either pushing the front end for more gain, or after adding a volume bump and slight compression/bigness for solos. For straight up...

    CARVIN TL60

    I usually don't like Carvins, satin black, or black hardware, but I'll be damned if that isn't a kickass looking guitar. Congrats!!!

    New to Los Angeles, want to pursue the dream.. need advice

    1. Just fully realize that there's exactly one bazillion dudes in LA alone that have the same exact "plan" (or dream) that you have. 2. The internet doesn't need any more videos of people covering EVH songs on guitar. Be yourself. Write some original riffs and solos that show diversity in...

    advice on a new compressor

    The biggest Q you have to ask yourself is: do you need a blend knob or not. If you do, Barber Tone Press or Wampler Ego. Me personally, I need one. And once you get used to having it, playing a comp without one seems very limiting - no pun intended. If you don't, then there's a bazillion...

    Tell me about Warmoth necks , what will I like?

    I've played an N4, and i know what you're talking about when you say "flat". The N4 shape is like a D shaped back. Most of Warmoths offerings are C shaped. I will say that for a middle of the road, beefy but not baseball bat, the 59 Roundback is very comfortable.

    NGD: Les Paul Jr.

    Dude, $400 for that is a NO brainer - great deal!!! There really is nothing like a LP Jr. Nothing to hide behind. Just pure rock and roll. 1. Those faded models DO buff out relatively nicely to a semi-glossy finish, if you choose to do that. I did that to my 05 Faded LP DC. Looked really...

    Les Paul versus ES335

    Yeah, your descriptions are pretty much spot on. I own a bunch of Les Pauls, and also own a really nice 2001 Gibson ES335 - one of the last ones made in the Nashville Factory. ES335 sounds a little more extreme, tone wise. Meaning, the neck is woolier, and the bridge is brighter and more...

    Beveled picks

    It's funny you mention that Mike... That's the exact reason that I *can't * use the Gators, or the Ultex's for that matter. The bevel, for me, is too sharp. I like a fatter, plain ol' rounded edge. But you're right - the bevel on a pick really does affect the feel.

    Try any V30 clones with a Shiva?

    SteveZ above actually has a *Retro*30 custom 100W - I know because I'm the one that sold it to him! haha. The Veteran30's are great speakers, but like AdamBomb said, just a different EQ curve. The Retro30's are much closer to an actual V30 Celestion.

    It's 2013. How have we not incorporated some sort of Javascript warning feature like this yet?

    What's the story on the Bogner Wheat cloth?

    I have very, VERY limited knowledge on this, but here's my assumption: The wheat grill cloth was some NOS overstock, and Reinhold bought ALL of it. Lasted about a decade, and then they ran out.

    Bogner ecstasy 7 pin cable foot switch pin out/diagram

    I copied the diagram from their old website, before they changed it... but you're right, it's nowhere to be found now.
