    Mesa JP2C - question on master volume taper

    I think I pushed my VH4 just past noon on the master vol once at a band practice and virtually made everyone in the county prolapse.

    Mesa JP2C - question on master volume taper

    There's a 100-60W switch, but it should still be deafeningly loud even with power scaling. Can you swap some other power tubes in?

    Suhr SSV+ and Thornbucker clip

    Sounds sick. Haven't read a bad review of the Thornbuckers. Where is the SSV+ retiring to?

    EL34 vs KT77 ?

    I preferred the KT77 in my VH4. I think they're a lot warmer than the EL34. I found the EL34 a bit harsh by comparison.

    Diezel Big Max

    VH4 Channel 2 was my favorite channel on the amp. Took overdrives really well. Just really balanced and with loads of clarity across the strings. I used CH3 & 4 less & less over time.

    Effects Bleed thru using G Major II channel switching?

    Hi, I had this effects unit. I was glad to see the back of it. Refer page 16 of the manual, under Global settings & 'FX mute'. Set to 'hard'. http://www.tcelectronic.com/media/21678 ... nglish.pdf

    Tell me about Kiesel Guitars

    That's what i've heard also. Shame if so, as Jeff Kiesel seems like a really top guy. I love the Becker numbers guitar. On the subject of looks vs sound, I found the same with a Mayones Regius I had earlier in the year. Amazing build quality, but pretty sterile in sound really. I think there...

    GAS is a brutal mistress.

    I miss my custom modern. Should never have parted with it, or should have at least let it go for more than I did. No way I can afford another one now I have kids. Got a pro series tele now though & love it. Had a Custom 24 & a Mayones Regius in the interim and neither were any where near as...

    Single Channel Build Progress

    One of my favorites too! I honestly wouldn't know where to start.

    Ordered a vh4 today

    I had the most fun with CH2 at about 3 o clock and an overdrive pedal. It had plenty enough gain & amazing clarity through the strings. CH3 is superb obviously, but I liked CH2 voicing more & more, the more I used it.

    Had an eye opening guitar lesson last night

    I'm a classically trained musician. I can't improvise for shit on the electric guitar by all accounts. Pretty much had to teach myself the framework of the fretboard & modes etc. It kinda baffles me why the classical syllabus doesn't really teach you to be creative with an instrument when its...

    Strymon Timeline question

    I've got the El Capistan on my board. For lead delays I much prefer using my carbon copy. I tend to use the Strymon only for cleaner tones. I find i lose a lot of the character of the pedal when I run it through higher gain sounds & it gets a bit busy & compressed. It's a tape delay emulator...

    Does Bob Bradshaw still do racks and pedal boards?

    Gotcha. Yeah, I looked earlier and wondered why these amps aren't in the Suhr product line anymore. I thought they were still making these amps but with the new chassis like Pete Thorn's latest amp.

    Does Bob Bradshaw still do racks and pedal boards?

    I thought John Suhr absorbed CAE. Wasn't Suhr building the CAE OD100 series amps?

    Axe FX Through a Cab

    When running the axefx into a solid state hifi power amp, the power amp simulation should be turned on for best results. When running into a valve power amp, the simulation isn't necessary but can be turned on to taste. The cab simulation should be turned off when running into a real cab. You...

    Pickup "Incompatibility"?

    Sounds like the Koko might be accentuating some of the faults with the pickup if the sound improves when you turn the koko off. Does the EVH have bridge & neck pickups? Same deal with both?

    Axe FX Through a Cab

    I ran an Ultra into a GT800FX & Orange cab. Used the poweramp simulation on the AxeFX. Tonnes of headroom in the poweramp. No complaints. Sounded killer.
