    Steve Vai and Joe Satriani have formed a new band together – and will release new music ahead of upcoming tour

    IMO they both have great stuff that was well after the early 90s.

    Front VS Rear loaded cabs actual test

    Theoretically wouldn't you move the mic back about the same distance as the thickness of the front baffle when recording the front-mount speaker? Otherwise the mic will always be closer to the speaker on front-mounts, hence the whole "punchier/brighter" descriptions that people often claim.

    Front VS Rear loaded cabs actual test

    Rear-loaded is for bottoms, and FL is for tops.

    School me on bang for the buck cabinets

    Also the Carvin V3 cabs. Some are V30 loaded,, some T75, and some have Carvin's house speakers. All are front loaded iirc.

    About recorded amp harshness and highs

    Anyone here ever try a beta-57? It's much crisper and more defined sounding in both the highs and lows than the basic 57, and a bit louder too. Maybe it's too bright/harsh for center or near dust-cap placement but I found it actually very useful for placing near the outside edge to blend with...

    DSL100, school me please

    Not having the DSL logo does not mean it is pre 2004. They were JCM 2000 up until 2009ish. The problems were pre 2004.

    (Gibson) Mesa Triple Rectifier with a fan?

    No it is not a new thing. They have been that way since 2010 when the multi-watt series was released. I have proof sitting right next to me, and mine is a 2011 custom ordered straight from Petaluma. When they redesigned the model for the MW/reborn series the safety agency demanded the fan for...

    (Gibson) Mesa Triple Rectifier with a fan?

    They always have on the MW Triple. They claimed it was a requirement of the government safety agency, whatever it is called.

    I got scammed on fake Ernie Ball Slinkys

    Definitely stay with the main outlets for all stuff IMO. Sweetwater, MF, or just buy direct. Juststrings is great for creating custom sets with bulk singles.

    New 4x12...which one

    Since you already have several Bogner V30/GB cabs, why not just convert one of them to the 30/75 ubercab specs. A couple t75 would be much cheaper than a whole new cab. You could convert one to the 30/75 mix, and then also buy a new K100 cab for something totally different. Best idea right there.

    57 years ago

    Jimi was great and all, but not quite in my wheelhouse in regards to style/genre. For me it was Tony Iommi who really changed things. For me the EVH era is instead the Randy era.

    Will the market come back around after the election?

    Super Distortion vs Super Distortion 2?

    Super2 in the neck is actually quite good as a shred-lead pickup to balance well with an X2N or even an Invader. If you want a neck that does nice cleans look elsewhere. Even other ceramic necks can do much better than the Super2 for versatility.

    Need larger radius saddles for OFR - Help!

    Have you pulled the saddles up to see? The stock shim does not go around the saddle/intonation adjustment screw like aftermarket shims do, so you don't see the stock shim from the front nor outside of the saddles. It is basically hidden. You can see the stock shim through the hole where the...

    Need larger radius saddles for OFR - Help!

    If you simply remove the solid center shim from under your OFR 2-5 saddles, then it is instantly a 12" radius bridge. IMO that is plenty close enough to never need modding.
