    Just bought a Marshall DSL40c

    arriving Friday (brand new from sweetwater as these are hard to find on eBay). sold the Peavey 6534 locally and the Schecter SLS blackjack c-7 is available as well (I'm trying to sell that to buy a tele/strat). anybody played one of these? from the demos on youtube sounds like it has a lot of...

    NIN live gear

    referring specifically to amps and efx. sounds like robin finck is a big user of LP's and schecters. I was watching the All that could have been live dvd (highly recommended!) and at one point he's playing some oriental stringed instrument looks like. i'm guessing they use axe fx like...

    need help with a Peavey 6534

    oh yeah, soundgarden is playing LA this week. try playing along with rusty cage cranked with a peavey 65xx amp and 7 string (the song is in B). That break down part is totally badass. I always thought badmotorfinger was a fantastic album. so much good music in the 90s. @2:47...

    need help with a Peavey 6534

    Main issues I have with the 6534 is that it's way too loud for home use (and it doesn't have a loop level like my Rivera to make it usable at home) and the inherent fizziness in the distortion sound. It's great for palm-muted chunking and fiercesome low-end. Good for single note lead passages...

    need help with a Peavey 6534

    1) the amp may not have "come with problems"; it worked fine for weeks initially with the tubes it shipped with 2) I like the amp with my Schecter 7 string active, totally kicks ass for hard rock and metal, no question 3) I did check the bias and it seemed out of whack with the original tubes...

    No love for Rivera Amps??

    so most guys like riveras once they have them (sounds like) but it's hard to sell. counter-intuitive. that's interesting.

    need help with a Peavey 6534

    btw, what the hell is this 2+3 Peavey warranty policy (2 yr standard with 3 yr extension if you register product in 90 days?) Mesa is 5 yrs straight up transferrable (Peavey is not transferrable). I would definitely not buy a Peavey amp again. They seem too cheap for Made in USA. My Rivera...

    need help with a Peavey 6534

    volume is low. bought this used on eBay, no issues, pretty much minty. retubed all 4 EL34's. retubed V1-V3. noticed that the PCB board for the preamp tubes is flimsy, and stretches/moves b/c it doesn't have enough support (very crappy/cheap design!) took it to a tech in Burbank after I...

    No love for Rivera Amps??

    I've had a love/hate relationship with my S120 (currently love with Maxon OD808 - thx to mightywarlock!). I use the ch 1 OD 2 the most and don't think the ch 2 cleans are stellar. I like to run the amp in pentode one side and triode the other side. Brutally heavy for hard rock and metal and...

    Gojira (setlist added) & Townsend show...

    BTW, Townshend was a total disaster: "hey you all need to masturbate!" oh really, fuck off and go away. That music was absolutely repulsive and crappy...

    Gojira (setlist added) & Townsend show...

    Last nite's show at Fonda Theater (Hollywood) was absolutely sick. My neck still hurts and I almost broke the guard railing while head-banging during one of the older songs. I've never experienced a band completely take over my CNS like that. Highly unusual and highly recommended show and...

    Gojira (setlist added) & Townsend show...

    I will be attending the Friday show in Hollywood. I wish they'd play "Love", half-time and drop half-step is ghetto heavy. who else is going to the Friday show at Fonda's theatre?

    Good amp tech in the LA area???

    http://www.rockandrolldoctor.com/ steve used to tour with aerosmith as amp tech for a couple years. i'd take it here just for the entertainment value. he dubbed my ex-switchblade an "abortion". he absolutely refuses to work on that amp anymore and does not work on Mesa Boogie amps either...

    Recommend some Amps that sound good at low volumes?

    marshall 2266 was great sounding at lower volumes.

    Recommend some Amps that sound good at low volumes?

    option B: play flute (with a Maxon OD808 for spice)

    Recommend some Amps that sound good at low volumes?

    Mesa amps sound pretty good at lower volumes compared to marshalls for example. Most of the tone comes from preamp section on mesas. Mark iv or v would fit the bill or the lunch box recto or express plus series. Mr. Bungle uses JMP-1 direct out. You can too. Trey spruance recorded guitars...
