At 100 watt amp prices

I'd say stay with the 1000 unless/until you have issues. I have a Kramer with a 1000 that works great. No issues. I got a EVH Wolfgang standard that had a 1000 that was horrible. Would not hold tune and kept breaking stings at the block. Dropped a OFR on the EVH no problem. So much better, all...

I picked up a IVa from GC during covid and also a IVb locally. The A was beat to hell. Sent it to Mike at Mesa for a full overhaul. Side by side they were almost identical to me. The A was a little darker but I could eq them to be the same. The A was also noisier. The B was mint. Sold the A for...

Meh, I hear more Mustaine than Hetfield. Its a Swing and miss for me.

Me too. Pocono Downs. It was a muddy mess. Good times. Saw them again on Use your illusion tour at the Suncoast Dome and they were amazing then. That show is actually on Youtube. They were in their prime that night.

I have no regrets. They all were dismissed for a reason.

Best album of his, anyway.

UPS left an 8 foot roll of carpet on my porch with an address label for a girl in DC. I'm in PA. I called and they told me to make an account and go online and fill out a bunch of forms. No, how bout you come pick it up? Sat there for two weeks. I called Crate and Barrel where it came from and...

Check to see if all power tubes are hot when this happens. Had a similar issue where the pins on the power tube socket were loose. Seems some tubes have fatter pins that stretch the sockets, then if you go to a tube with narrower pins they are too loose and lose connetion. My amp would lose it's...

I had a 90's Charvel Fusion that was killer. If you can find a "Charvette" they were the budget Fusion that was short scale and were a great modding platform.

His Marshall was probably so freakin loud they had him low in the FOH mix.

I Don't heavily scoop my Mark IV's either. It cuts better and has a nice snarl.

I bought a Mark IVa from GC used for pretty cheap. Came in a tour case and looked like it was rode HARD and put away wet. Sent it in to Boogie. They overhauled it (told them do whatever it needs) had it back in a month and it was a little under $400 less shipping and tubes. I ended up selling it...

If you need reverb, dont buy an amp based on that, just get a pedal. For practice I have a Zoom ms50 in the loop of Soldano mini. Has a bunch of reverbs,delays,phaser,flange whatever you want.Works great.

I never found a combo to sound as good as a head/cab. I tried plenty. Combos will have an open back which is usually not ideal for any type of rock/metal. Also they are heavier and usually cost more. The Fender Bassbreaker is one combo I did like, but again it was close to 50lbs.

I had an HT5. It was pretty Meh. Check out the mini Soldano. That with a few pedals and a little 1x12 is what I'm rocking for a bedroom amp. Sound really good.

Did they fix the noise? I waited over a year for one I had on order and returned it in 3 days due to the noise level on the red channel. One of my biggest gear related disappointments.

I had an old 100 watt Marshall Super Lead, bone stock. Even cranked to ear splitting volume that thing was clean as a whistle. No where near the gain of even a JCM 800. I was so bummed I sold it. That's probably what we're hearing here.

It should be on the scratch and dent clearance rack.
