    How do you ship speakers?

    I ship em 1 at a time in USPS large flat rate boxes, it’s like $23 per speaker. Add an extra layer of cardboard on the cone side inside the box. It’s no prob with a V30, could get riskier with damage with something heavier like a Redback, will not work with an EVM12L (frame is too big and damage...

    Engl E670FE announced

    I think the ‘Tubedriver’ channel is new. I don’t remember the original having reverb, but it’s been a while. Hopefully the noise gate is a new design, the old one was weak sauce. I might have been interested if they would have gone with KT88/6550’s.

    Best Metallica Guitar Tone ever recorded?

    RTL, best tone, best songs, band at its best with that thrash/heavy metal ratio. Although I can't stand any of their stuff beyond the 80's, which ranges from boring to ultra cringe, so can't comment on those tones.

    Blown Fuse - Protocol?

    VHT 2/90/2 was blowing fuses on one channel a few months ago. A couple of resistors were fried. Amp tech said it was due to a bad power tube. Put new tubes in and replaced resistors and no problems for 8 months until yesterday it blew another fuse. I don't see any burnt resistors. Amp tech had...

    Your favorite non-Marshall Marshall

    I’ve got a H&K Access and an ADA MP1 for different flavors of Hot Rod’d and a copy of the JCM800 pre section for raw tones. Had a Synergy BE-BB, would have kept if I wasn’t hurtin for money.

    Anyone try one of these? Chinese SLO preamp

    I have one, it’s legit. I’ve had his SLO, his JCM800, Recto and his E530 for a few years now. I A/B’d the E530 with a real one, sounds exactly the same but the EQ knobs have different frequencies/tapers. I would not trust the plastic shell on tour.

    7-String recommendations - Bang For Buck?

    My Schecter Banshee Elite 7 absolutely crushes my Ibanez Prestige in every way. Ibanez are over valued, I assume from commanding such a big share of the affordable shreddy neck and 7 string market in decades past.

    Bassier speaker for a 1x12 cab

    Classic Lead 80 sounds best in my 1x12 and Redback sounds best in my other 1x12. CL 80 is beefy, Redback is tight.

    Erik Rutan in the studio

    Agreed, although Gore Obsessed was kind of similar but with a better bass tone, but Blood Thirst was the best guitar tone they’ve recorded. But the bass tone on The Bleeding is fucking legendary in my book.

    What speakers are you all using these days?

    FWIW. I have 3 redbacks, one (older?) one with the black cardboard gasket, 2 (newer?) ones with cork gaskets, they’ve all been played around 90 hours at drummer volume. The cardboard gasket one is fairly dark, one of the cork ones is pretty neutral and the other cork one it pretty bright. I’m...

    Kirk Hammett: “Maybe the age of active pickups is over”

    At some point after 2017 they started making their pickups with much less gain. Manufacture dates are on the backs of the pickups which makes it easy to verify in a comparison. I was on the phone with EMG a few years ago after they sent me a second 81 in a row that was lower gain, turns out they...

    Is there an interface that works better with active pickups?

    OP, you’re saying the attenuation indicator light is lighting up red on the interface with the attenuation knob turned fully down on the interface, or you’re saying that you hear clipping but there’s no visual indicator of clipping? I have the same interface and multiple EMG 81-7 equipped...
