    2 Ch Recto G’s Being Hoarded?

    On my 2011 multi-watt triple the red and orange (both on modern) are very very close in sound. Not exactly the same but I can EQ them to almost identical. They are close enough that I prefer one over the other based on which guitar/pickups/boost I am using at the moment. Now they do "feel" a...

    2 Ch Recto G’s Being Hoarded?

    And why does everyone now say "I know right(.?!)" ? We have a guy at worked named Dan, and most people call him Danno, and his last name does not start with an O.

    Brad Gillis with Ozzy . Brads time

    Just curious if you like NRFTW, Zak's first album of course. That is where it ended for me with Ozzy, but I still love that first Zak album.

    Thoughts on Celestion G12-65 Heritage speakers

    I bet these would be a good blend with a pair of t75 on bottom.

    This is my favorite song of all time, but this version will haunt my dreams

    Fair enough, just checking. Sometimes sarcasm can jump over my head.

    Are you serious or just joking? Smooth Criminal surely is not your all-time favorite song is it?

    Recommend some "high output" pickups that don't suck with all maple L/P

    Anyways, at any scale length, something like an Invader or Warpig will balance out nicely with a guitar that is very mid-bright unplugged. It will indeed be somewhat 2-dimensional because of the compressing nature of high-dcr winds and the strident and focused nature of hard-maple. A lower or...

    Hard to believe Ozzy is still alive.

    Brad Gillis with Ozzy . Brads time

    All I know about BG is that SOTD is a beast of a live album.

    So you think it's bright because of scale length being 25"?

    Recommend some "high output" pickups that don't suck with all maple L/P

    The vast majority of LP scale guitars are darker because they have those huge hunk of mahogany bodies and are strung at lower string tensions.

    It's bright because it's all maple w/ebony. edit; (which in itself is an exception to the rule)

    Recommend some "high output" pickups that don't suck with all maple L/P

    Scale has little to do with it. My full-maple Carvin is 25" scale with an ebony board, and it has the basic EQ profile of a jcm800 lol. It is anything but muddy even with an Invader, which only on the internet is a muddy pickup. On a shorter scale just bump up the gauges by a notch and there...

    ^^^ Exactly this. You want something thick with fat lower-mids and not too much upper-mids, or at least not a dominant upper-midrange. Invader Warpig D'activator-X Sonic Ecstasy https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/high-power/sonic-ecstasy-bridge?v=32266

    Thicc vs Thinnn

    My ideal for E tuning would be 9-44, but I don't currently have any at E.

    Thicc vs Thinnn

    Those would be OK for G-standard tuning, but the 7 might often snap.

    Yer Mesa's are going to be boat anchors in a couple years ...

    Between my four rectifiers I'm sure at least one will outlast me lol. Only one of them has ever needed service yet, and that was my 95 dual needing some new caps, a couple new pots, a loose chassis ground fixed, and by choice a different effects-loop jack to convert it to their original factory...

    Vintage TS9 and TS808 vs. Modern Variants

    Those are really great. If set to the "standard" clean-boost with level at max and drive at 0 they are cleaner than the basic ts9 or 808. Sometimes I use the toggle in normal with the drive at 9:00-11:00, and other times with the toggle in boost with the drive at 8:00-9:00. Even using the drive...
