    QOTSA...Like Clockwork

    I haven't bought it, but have stayed away based on the sample clips. I'm sure it's a great album in its own right, but I keep coming away from the more recent albums wishing it was one of the first 3 again. For me, Rated R was the pinnacle. But I love the first album and Songs for the Deaf as...

    Ear plugs/ear protection???

    +1. I thought I was the only one using these for something other than at the shooting range. :lol: :LOL: Use them without the tabs in and they're perfect. They were designed for military use so that soldiers can still hear voice commands to each other but knock down the sound level of...

    Celestion Vintage 30s

    To add to the mystery, there is one more T number that was made. T5321. This is what was on the label for the Hellatone 60L speakers I had. Supposedly they were V30s (16ohms) that had been made as an OEM speaker for some company.

    What's the lowest you'll take?

    Take the politician's route when being interviewed. Answer the question you wish they had asked. Reply with your original asking price. :D Buyer: "What's the lowest you'll take?" Seller: "I'm asking for $x" Really, a buyer should be giving a counteroffer, not asking for a new asking price...

    Recording with a Palmer direct box and IR's from Axe Fx2

    Haven't tried the effects loop send method. But if you still want to use the power amp speaker output, get a regular DI that doesn't have cabinet emulation instead of using the PDI-09. It's probably possible to dial out the sound of the PDI-09, but essentially the signal is going through 2...

    NAD Diezel vh4s blueface 96

    Since it has already been presumed, I recommend you ask for more than anyone has ever paid for a VH4. :lol: :LOL:

    NAD Diezel vh4s blueface 96

    I recommend to buy a good set of bookshelf monitor speakers. You can still hear the tone at low volumes with good quality using the Two Notes unit. Much more controllable level than a 2x12 and much better sound quality than headphones. I've just never had any luck with headphones, but when using...

    Muffs?

    Wow. I didn't realize the green version went up in value. I've had one of these sitting in my pedal box for years. Bought it back in the 90s when I wanted to sound like some nu-metal band that used it. :D Well, the pedal didn't end up sounding anything like that band, but that's not a bad...

    Diezel VH4 channel switching

    +1. 1 button for each channel. Phantom powered through the mini cable, no need for a wall wart. Works perfectly for simple switching. :thumbsup:

    Retro 30 vs Vintage 30 vs Veteran 30

    My favorite is the Retro 30. My cab is loaded with them. I've had the Vin30 and also the H60L which is a Vin30 made by Celestion for only one manufacturer (Marshall). I haven't seen any complaints posted yet in this thread about the Retro. So I'd go with that one. :D Completely happy with it...

    Attenuator/load box question...

    Looks like it acts as a load box if the attenuator switch is on but no speakers are connected to its output. That's what I'm seeing in the manual although I don't have one. They also recommend setting it to 16 ohms if the amp supports it because it can handle a higher wattage at that setting.

    Attenuator/load box question...

    I've been doing this using an Aracom attenuator as a load box, and running the DI signal into a computer running impulses. It works really well! For best results you may need to look at a load box that advertizes itself as having a reactive impedance curve similar to a real speaker. Aracom and...

    Which multi effect floorboard are you using?

    I'm using a Line6 M9. It has no amp models, just effects. They can be put in any order and are easy to dial in. FWIW I had a Boss ME-50 in the past and recently sold a Nova System. They are both good but I like the M9.

    Buying new guitar and analog stuff!

    I'm thinking the analog overdrive pedals won't get you into the tone territories you are looking for if the amp is to be played clean. Also seems you can't easily import big/heavy amps. In that case how about a modeler? For the money, a RP1000 or a used AxeFX may make you the happiest. The plus...

    Selling my VH4.....what do you recommend?

    How about a software plugin modeler? I'm really impressed with Guitar Rig 5 Pro. The built in cabinets are provided by Redwire and the clean and low distortion amps sound great to my ears. Full version is less than $200. That, or get a load box and DI that can take a speaker level signal and...

    Diezel Hagen/Vh4

    They will handle 4CM fine. Only issue is if the HD500 doesn't support line level signals for the return. I tried an M9 in the loop of my VH4 and it was distorting due to the signal being too hot. But that was fixed with an ebtech line level shifter. So you may have to use one of those depending...

    How do i remove a triamp MK 2 from the headshell?

    The biggest pointer for removing it from the head shell is to remove the 2 lower rear plastic corner protection pieces. They get in the way when you slide the amp back and out. After they are removed it's a clear path. Just work it out slowly holding the transformers. And tilt the amp forward...
