A shootout/comparison doesn’t matter. They could sound identical and probably do. Quality/reliability may be the same too. The problem is that the cost to produce them keeps going down yet the prices keep going up. Greed is the reason.

I didn't know who this guy was until he showed up in my suggested with a clickbait "Celestion just ENDED the V30" video Turns out it was just a comparison between two different year V30's Even more embarrassing were all of the comments talking about the comparison or some other detail of the...

I really dig the Magnatone aesthetic. I played a Super 59 head in a local shop that was priced cheap at like $999 a year or so ago, thought it sounded good but didn't pull the trigger and regretted it later. Now especially that I realize what they were priced at new. It's really sad that they...

I love the OG Edge trems. The second picture is the correct way, saddles and bottom of the plate parallel to the body. The first picture is the "wrong" setup, bridge is tilted back 20-30 degrees which is bad. The Edge baseplate viewed from the side is "triangular" because the saddles sit...

I'm usually slow to news like this but found out thanks to a youtube comment. A few comments of my own: Dagnalls sometime in the late 90s or early 00's were made in Malta (an island in the Mediterranean) for the purposes of cheaper labor already. Definitely anything after 2009 has a Malta made...

This thing is gorgeous. How different does it sound from something like a Rockerverb? They look so similar externally so I wonder how similar it is in sound. My OR50 for example is very different from the Rockerverb.

Man sorry to see that. We have the same problem in the Kramer groups all the time too. It's really simple. If the guitar can slide at all inside the case - even an inch - if the box is placed neck-down during transit it's going to break the headstock, guaranteed. Doesn't matter if you stuff the...

-Roasted maple necks. -Guitars with traditionally Rosewood boards (Les Paul, Ibanez) using something "unique" like purple heart or granadillo. I understand Rosewood has its own whole set of issues that prompted this so not sure if it's as much of a trend or rather something forced on us. -Not...

I would love to know myself. I know there are a few variations on the circuit that aren't shown on any official schematic, but I just did a video about the 2203 circuit and I used these mojotone schematics to talk about how their 1976 schematic only has two gain stages, unless I'm reading it...

Those people are wrong IMO. Great sounding pickup, lots of bass and output, punchy, but looser on the bottom than a JB or D-Distortion style pickup. Depending on the amp, you might find it perfectly fine, but with a boost that loose bottom is a non-factor. One of my favorite pickups and one that...

My specific niche in this hobby is buying the cool boutique amps about 10-15 years after everyone's forgotten about them haha My experience may differ since I'm in the US, but it should be similar: Basically, two ways it gets flagged. Either youtube "checks" catch something it thinks is...

I’ll take a peek inside the cavity or neck pocket this week sometime and try to make a guess. It arrived and my girl brought it inside and she said she thought the box was empty. And it is indeed extremely lightweight, so probably not maple but I could be wrong. Most of the poplar ones I’ve...

By all accounts those are killer guitars and especially great as an upgrade platform. Would love to grab one but I always forget about them haha. At the moment I'm technically trying to NOT buy any guitars. I have amps I still want but I have more guitars than I need so I've been trying to sell...

Very nice. Vince has a stellar rep in Kramer circles and for good reason.

As a *small* youtuber the problem is a few things: 1. If a new product comes out, and they think you are going to review it critically, they won't give you early access to it. They want only positive reviews, so while they won't outright tell you "you must review this amp positively," they just...

I got really into Periphery like 10 years after the first album so it's still "new" to me so I'd call that modern. This one still blows my mind. No idea how to play it myself so I think that's part of the mystique. This one is from 2014, which still seems "modern" to me even though it's almost a...

Took a risk on a fair condition (in other words, beat to shit condition) used "Kramer Double Cut Floyd Guitar" from Guitar Center this past week. I squinted at the tiny picture and I think I could make out a black pixel that represented a single bridge humbucker and a yellow pixel towards the...

That's a lot of Gibsons and Fenders. I wonder if they have anything actually cool. (I'm only joking, I saw one Charvel in there...)

Gotcha, I wasn’t sure what your goal was from the first post. So yeah, you could do a switch to change the type of diodes. Maybe a 3-way, stock/off/LED’s or something. There’s some funky stuff going on around V1B so be careful you don’t make any big sweeping changes without testing or you might...

Ah man, I forgot that Garageband existed. That was what I used for a long time actually just to fool around and get started. That was back when Garageband was little more than a digital tape recorder with a few meh effects. From what I understand the current, free, version of Garageband is a...
