    Preventing Speaker Explosions

    Just plug into a Fender Bassman. It's a bass amp that sounds great with an electric guitar. Been done for decades. Maybe use an octave pedal to add an octave below. Here's a two-piece band of just guitar and drums, Hootenanny. Fender Strat, coily cable, into a Selmer amp head, into a 1x12...

    Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave” Live

    Pretty cool man! I like the swoopy sound effect on the rhythm guitar. I see you've put a lot of work into the lights so they're timed with the pinch harmonics. Cool effect.

    Tool fans

    I have at times. His rig justifies why I can't get my guitar sound with just one amp.

    best sounding iso cab?

    I reckon the only decent iso cab is a small studio room with thick loose curtains hanging about 15cm from the walls.

    Engl Fireball 100: Any users?

    I think that's why I regrettably sold mine. I got fussy about the classic rock stuff for a while, and just turning the gain down wasn't getting what I wanted, even though it sounded great for tight high gain metal sounds and clean sounds, even when running effects into it. Although I am very...

    Solid state preamp into valve/tube power amp?

    I have a solid state amp head (actually a JVC hifi stereo amp) that I'm wondering about converting to all-valve. But then I wondered if I could just take a line-level signal from it and use that to push a Mesa/Boogie 50:50 50 watt valve power amp into "high gain" distortion, thrash metal levels...

    Andy Larocque/Pete Blakk: is there a better duo?

    ^Yeah that's my fave, Shermann & Denner. I love how they both play rhythm and lead, and swap throughout each song. According to this video, I take it that Mike Denner had the "squawkier midrange" guitar sound on Don't Break the Oath back in 1984? Hank Shermann's seems to have more lower mids...

    What Amps are you looking forward to at NAMM?

    Really?

    listed a guitar but decided not to sell it. Am I wrong?

    Yeah I smelled a rat too. Seemed strange the buyer was so eager and keen to come and pay you, even when you hadn't actually said "Oi come with cash NAO or you snooze you lose". He might have just been washing some dirty money and then go pawn the guitar for double the price. Who knows? I don't...

    Most realistic pc amp sim?

    A friend of mine used amp sims and IRs for an album he recorded, basically replicating his live amp rig. It sounded alright through computer speakers, however in the car doesn't sound near as good at all.

    Metallica playing a country version of Four Horseman

    I haven't heard this yet. But you know, I've always thought of Jump in the fire as a country rock song, coincidentally with distorted guitars. I always imagine people line dancing to that boot-stompin' bass line and people waving their ten gallon hats in the air shouting "YEE-HA!" I don't...

    V30s and Greenbacks in a 4x12

    I'm thinking too that the X-pattern tends to smear the sounds into one mass, rather than spread out.

    Quick demo of a small amp from the 90's - Peavey BRavo

    That was GOOD! Chunked hard :rock: Yeah I could hear a particular midrange honk to it in both clips- not a bad thing at all, because it still distorted nicely, or rather, retained its aggression rather than just smear over the rest of the sound. It would cut well in a band. I like it heaps...

    New amp help/suggestions: Marshall style high gain

    I love it! :rock: Love that thump on the palm mutes.

    Foam inside speaker cabs

    Wow, I haven't seen this thread for a while! (Usually it's me getting warnings by moderators and posters about bumping up old threads...mostly on TGP... Being that I started this thread I don't mind at all.) I have to admit it does sound a bit dark. No wonder I miss the "zing" of a 4x12 I...

    Chorus Pedal for STP Tones

    ^Wow, those chorus settings are interesting. I guess it's like pressing two buttons at once on an old Roland SDD-320 "Dimension D"?
