    Return of the Stuck on Desert Island Series!

    I think I'm +1 on the Sig:X. Or just give my my Helix, headphones, and a headphone extension cable.

    D Moll vs Hagen

    They sure do. I think I got my first D60 head in 2012 for $600. That was a saga. Traded that head + $300 for a Mesa Roadster, then traded the Roadster + $300 for a 2011 Fryette Ultra Lead, all within a year. Spend a year with the UL but didn't jive with it like my CLX or Deliverances, so sold...

    D Moll vs Hagen

    LOL totally get it. Want a 1+? I bought a D120 and FB412 6 years ago for $1000, AND the D120 had an insert FX loop added already so I could run 4CM at that time (with my old GSP1101). This was over Craigslist and wasn't some old grandma who had no idea what she was doing, but I felt like I was...

    D Moll vs Hagen

    I want to chime in. I've demoed a Hagen, own a D-Moll, and am a Fryette/VHT-head at heart, so I think we come from similar(ish) places. The one thing I want to refute with Ventura is the mid-cut function on the D-Moll. I actually use it as a mid boost for leads. If you turn the mid cut...

    Tell me why the Kemper sucks

    It sucks because it's not a real tube amp. :oops: Actually, were I you (and I'm not so YMMV), I'd consider a Kemper Stage or an un-powered Kemper rack/toaster, and a tube power amp like a Power Station (which has other utilities obv, so not a one trick pony), then run into your cab. Or just go...

    NAD: Dual Recto Tremoverb

    I'm on the lookout for a Trem-O-Verb head. It's the only amp I really want to add right now.

    New Mesa Boogie Amp: Badlander Rectifier

    Eh... I loved my old Trem-O-Verb with EL34's. That's THE Soundgarden sound to me (Superunknown). TO ME it gave the amp a Bogner-ish feel.

    This brings me a lot of joy. I'd steer clear of getting him anything with a floating trem. There's nothing more discouraging than a guitar that requires a lot of work to re-string, tune, detune to drop d, all that. I think any standard Strat would be perfect. Squier or Mexican Fender. Most...

    What is the best 80s hard rock bedroom setup?

    Have you considered a FleshLight? I hear the tone is to die for.

    Yamaha SPX90 and Alesis QuadraVerb 20k

    Hey there. Welcome! Yes, I'd recommend using the FX loop of your Marshall for the rack effects in question. I'd also recommend getting something like a RJM Mini Amp Gizmo or Voodoo Control Switcher so that, with your midi controller, you can do full on patch changes including switching...

    It's gotta be the Fender Frontman 15R. The reverb circuit just seems to add some spice to the tone even when it's not engaged.

    NAD JCM 800 4210 Split Channel Reverb, 50W 1x12" combo

    I had an '83 4210 for about a year in high school also. Arguably the WORST amp I've ever owned. I ended up trading it for a Carvin X100B (EL34 carpet version). Value bath, but the ice-pick of the 4210 I had was unbearable. I've played later 2205's and, yeah, sounds like they got better in the...

    Anyone Remember Madison Amps/Cabs?

    I remember in the mid-2000's when I was in high school coveting that amp as an affordable Recto (which was my dream amp at the time). My old bandmate ended up having one. It sounded pretty good but was very unreliable.

    Super Strat Recommendations

    Do you care about... 22 or 24 frets? Pickup configuration... HS, HSS, HSH, or HH? Neck joint: bolt on or neck thru? Angled or straight headstock? Rear or front rout? Shape? (Strat vs Dinky vs PRS double-cut vs EBMM, etc) Top/finish? If you're indifferent most of those, then I'd suggest booking...

    Modern JCM800's, are they any good?

    I had a '77 2203 that I could never jive with. Maybe the speakers I had were not a good match, but through V30's and K100's, it just sounded ice picky in the highs, and flubby in the lows. No meat to the tone at all. I did have it recapped, retubed, everything. I had a '84 (horiz input) 2204...

    Stratocaster Replacement Necks

    I know a lot of folks have had great experiences with MJT/USACG and Musikraft. I haven't bought any of their necks so can't comment there, but have been very happy with Allparts and Warmoth. Allparts isn't really "custom" but they make a decent array of necks as long as you're not looking for...

    Diezel D-Moll vs Mesa Mark V 90?

    Never played a Mark V. I do own a D-Moll. It really doesn't feel like a Marshall to me at all, so if that's a concern I wouldn't worry about it. D-Moll has one of the best clean channels in a high gain amp.
