I'm not a big pedals guy. By virtue of random luck I've accumulated a few assorted pedals, but most of mine are the same old crap I've been using for over a decade - TC Nova Repeater delay, Ibanez TS7 I recently took the plunge and grabbed an Empress Compressor. It's very subtle, but cool, and...

It sounds pretty good in the demo to me, with the mindset that it's supposed to be that modern raspy, saturated high gain sound. Really tight lows for downtuning, super aggressive hairy high end, very saturated gain level. This is the same tone so many other high gain metal amps are doing these...

Well if anyone wants to sell me an Omega for $2250 send me a PM…

Yes - I would love to hear about the differences between the two side by side. My understanding is that the Blackmore and AE are really similar to the Savage, mk1 at least.

My favorite Klone is the $35 one I got on amazon Less than half the price of this JHS, plus it came already assembled!

Used Omega Ampworks Obsidian Tube Guitar Amp Head - Guitar Center I mean, the price is ridiculous, more than a brand new one (yes I'm aware there's a wait list and all that) But it's hard to believe someone traded in an amp like this for probably less than $2k. Just crazy. Picture in case it...

All 3 versions have 6 tube stages + cathode follower on the red channel, 4 + cathode follower on the blue channel (technically the cathode follower is a "gain stage" but it's not introducing distortion or anything, just driving the tone stack levels)

Thanks everyone! I'm really thrilled with it. It's a lot more versatile than I expected, and really fits my playing style a lot - definitely much more gain potential than I realized, even without a boost it gets pretty heavy. I have an Uberschall as well and while that one is clearly much more...

Hey everyone. Been waiting on this one for a while. Bought this at Guitar Center over 3 weeks ago - they sent me the wrong amp (lol) which I then had to mail back, and they wouldn't ship the correct amp until they received the wrong amp back. Ugh. The plus side is I got to play a 20th Anniversay...

I'm an avid Kramer collector, and I've had quite a few. The non-tilt Barettas never really appealed to me, but I know there is a big draw from EVH fans. The price seems ridiculous to me at first glance, but then again it is in line with MIJ Jackson's and ESP's so it's hard to fault that alone...

I've started doing this the past year myself. Most of the time it doesn't matter, but I like to be prepared. Plus if your buyer ends up being shady, you have proof how it was packed up. Also with amps I usually take a short little clip proving that it turns on, makes noise, switches channels...

That's my thought as well. If I ever got another Uber first thing I'd do is open it up, damaged or not, and put a little line of glue just under the edges of the caps as "preventative maintenance." Here's what it looks like now, kind of hard to see but there's now a line of glue underneath the...

Thanks for posting this. I'm a little disappointed to see those two big caps still mounted on the terminals and held in place with zip ties, but at least this time they are not side by side held by the same ties. On yours, they are black and located towards the bottom by the heat sink, and a...

I have theories on this. Their website/inventory system is clearly pretty old/slow - they prettied up the site but the same system is still running everything underneath. If I add something to the cart and pay for it, it still shows on the GC site for a little while. You could still add it to...

Can I offer some constructive criticism? As someone who also has a large amp collection and owned a Kemper at one point, I also thought about selling a few profiles for a couple bucks. While you have some really cool, unique amps, what is the selling point of your profiles? Let's look at an...

This is killing me but I blew my cash on a bunch of stuff during the GC used sale last month...

Damn! A Peters is nearing the top of my want list these days. Those both look incredible!

I don't think gut shots are going to help much, the way these are built: (PCB is flipped upside down, and on the other side there is no silk screen so you have no idea which components are which) We'd need a technical service manual to figure it out (which I assume is against some NDA to share...

I enjoyed these. Sometimes the acquisition of something is almost fun as the actual thing!

I have a Hiwatt Lead100R. It's very similar to the D100L, same controls on the front, same circuit as far as I'm aware. It's not known as one of the "good" Hiwatts, and the serious Hiwatt fans really hate them it seems, Hiwatt in name only and not very related to the earlier ones. However I...
