Here´s the 590: https://www.axebition.com/bridge/jackson-jt-590 Otherwise it´s probably a japanese Takeuchi TRS, another extremely common model used by tons of manufacturers at the time: https://www.axebition.com/bridge/jackson-jt580 Jackson used variations of the Takeuchi for the imports for...

It´s got the Schaller JT590, presumably, so that´s a really nice Floyd. Basically the best stock/OEM trem of the era, and everyone used it even on high end builds when the OFR wasn´t available for manufacturers. One common thing to watch out for is wobbly pivot posts - just wrap them in some...

It's cool for what it is. Sort of a fatter plexi style on the crunch mode that takes a TS without getting too honky and thin, and a nice, rich lead channel. Never really caught on for the metal crowd, which is perfectly understandable but also where a lot of the confusion comes in. Back in the...

I personally wouldn´t choose pickups depending on which pots were in there to begin with, just as easy to swap those out at the same time and basically without extra cost.

Not all the Jackson Fusions had the active boost, I think those have three knobs. It should be fairly plain to spot one both by looking at the electronics (should be a battery and a small circuit board in there) and from the function of the knobs, the boost in the Fusions were a sort of...

Hi guys, I have a III+ modded from a no-dot, and rhythm 2 on this one seems cleaner compared to the blue stripe I had before. Tubes and components are freshly checked and fine. I think Mike doesn't mod the R2 gain when he does the R2 master volume, so unless it is changed up by the general III+...

Sure, I haven't played these new ones.

The CAE is cool too. If we´re talking the lead channels the non-SE lead channel is a great (very) modded Marshall-type, and the SE version is a bit gainier and scoopier and shines with V30s. I´m not a huge fan of either version thru the 2150, though, they have a lot of bass and treble and the...

Never played one of those, but if it was good enough for Mustaine and Pitrelli there should be some way decent tones in there.

Very nice, I love my X99 and 2150 together and this set-up should be very similar :thumbsup:

Luke is probably my biggest influence, next to his ol´ buddy EVH. I´ve seen Toto three or four times, with various personnel, but it´s always just a monster show. And yeah, extraordinary musician is not overselling him one single bit.

When I decided to jump to IRs for home use I wanted to minimize the option paralysis and general anxiety of having thousands of files to cycle through, so I went with the Bluguitar Blubox. Just a few good sounding IRs in good sounding hardware, no way of loading more, and I'll do the rest with...

Not sure what the issue is, but there was also the G-Lab Loop Adapter that did stuff like that. https://glab.com.pl/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/um_ala-1_30102009.pdf

Back in the late 90s he was just the most intimidating player imaginable. Certainly the guy (at least that me and my local friends knew of at the time) that just blew our doors off the most.

I once saw a show with Motorhead opening for Manowar, that was both the loudest stage and the loudest show overall I´ve ever heard. But this was in the 90s and I imagine it was far louder going further back.

I had both the PQ3 and the PQ4 a while back, and at least with those two specimens the PQ3 had a way more colored preamp section. Much more gain and noticeably thicker-sounding. The PQ4 was more neutral, and I didn´t have to EQ out the preamp sound as much. Horses for courses, I guess, but I...

About the big iron, I seem to remember they sold it as a 140W amp at the time.

It was designed as a George Lynch model, and despite his classic gear-whoring most of the stuff he (almost) put his name on is pretty good. The Penta is no exception, it´s a good amp. The second mode rotary probably was a mistake, leading people to think it was a two-channel amp. It is much more...

Maybe I´m just getting old and disinterested, but NAMM sure isn´t what it used to be.

For sure, I started putting together my big rack maybe fifteen years ago and still use it every day, and I used some rack units here and there long before that too. I was lucky to do most of my serious shopping when this stuff wasn´t that expensive, however, I probably wouldn´t do exactly the...
