    Vinnie Vincent - What Is Going On?

    His aspirations and self-image exceed what he can achieve on his own, but he also doesn't play well with others. He seems fairly talented, but like a lot of talented people, he's his own worst enemy.

    Wasted Years -Isolated Guitars

    Very cool hearing this, and how much of the detail gets lost in production. Maiden were my metal crush in the 80s. I had whatever posters and tshirts I could get my hands on. Live after Death was their first album I bought, and I'm pretty sure I bought it because of the artwork. I'm not sure I...

    Any Peavey JSX owners here? What's your opinion of them?

    I've got the JSX 212 combo. It's got a really good clean for a channel switcher. The crunch channel is seems like a refined Marshall crunch. Maybe a little darker, and has more range of gain. It doesn't need a boost like a 2203 does to get the same level of crunch. The ultra channel is my least...

    David Lee Roth Fires Shots at Wolfgang Van Halen: ‘This F-ckin’ Kid’

    On the one hand, EVH could be a real asshole, and seemed to like to make his drinking everyone else's problem. Alex was loyal to his brother, but seemed to be less outwardly abrasive. Given the toxicity that was going on back then, especially towards the end, it's not at all impossible to think...

    What's best for drop C#-drop B chug , modded Marshall style(Splawn nitro, Ceriatone, ground zero, gower mod) or Rivera knucklehead?

    The Ceriatone Gargoyle looks interesting. I've not played one, but I've had great experiences with other amps of theirs.

    v30 4x12 advice

    I like the Egnater Tourmaster 412, which came standard with V30s. I didn't even know that's what I was looking for until I found one on GC for a crazy low price, back when they'd ship a 412 for $40. It's the cab that every amp I've tried sounds great through. I liked it so much I bought a second...

    Reverb find: 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar w/ Glass Display Case One of a Kind!!

    Dude acts like he thinks it belongs in a museum, but it looks like something you'd find in a jar of formaldehyde.

    Ceriatone King Kong 50 vs Chupacabra 50

    This ^^^ I'll add that Channel 2 of the KK is voiced similar to the Yeti by default, but Nic will do it like a Chupa if you want. It's almost like a 2.5 channel amp. The "Solo" control is just a second master volume for channel 2...but it has its own ERA switch, so when you switch masters on...

    Buffer pedals. You NEED one.

    I think some people like the color they impart. I think that's different than what's being discussed here, unless you're talking about how much the receiver loads the signal at its output. I can't remember who else besides Angus, but I see to remember reading of others who stayed with those old...

    Is the Arab hooker industry so bad they advertise here ?

    I'm not sure about Arab hookers, but if my web browser is to be believed, there are all kinds of horny MILFs in my area looking to connect.

    Buffer pedals. You NEED one.

    Nope, I never said that about active pickups. They're great for people who like them, but they're not my thing. For people who like them, they do a great job of eliminating the need for a buffer at that point in the signal chain. Have you seen the video of the corrugated Strat loaded with Strat...

    Buffer pedals. You NEED one.

    Most of us are already using buffers, even if they're not labelled as such. Unless a pedal/device is true bypass, it's acting as a buffer. Your dedicated buffer pedal is only helping up to the point of the next buffered device in your chain, but sometimes that's all you need. Whether a...

    Gibson Releasing $999 PAF Limited Edition Pickups

    Yeah, I don't get that these are targeted at people because of how they think they'll sound. Maybe a few cork-sniffers who think there's magic in something that's more period correct. It seems like these are meant for people who want to spend money on bragging rights, or perhaps want to sit on...

    2203 Clone

    https://www.tedweber.com/8cm100-c-kt/ They will do assembly if requested, for additional cost. I think mojotone will also do assembly, but theirs is a 2204. I went with a 2203 from Ceriatone, so I can't speak to either of the above, I just know them as two other options.

    Dylana at 3rd Power Amps to build Satriani his next amp for the tour

    It'll be interesting to hear how it sounds and what everyone thinks of it. I'll likely never play one. Kind of nice though to see another smaller builder getting some pub.

    How to get Adam Jones (tool) guitar tone onMesa Rectifier?

    Interesting that they're using toroidal transformers on many models, and I don't see chokes on any of them.

    Found an old listing to my stolen ‘78 Les Paul Custom

    For felony theft under $25K in Louisiana it looks like the statute of limitations is 4 years. In terms of the intermediaries, pawn shops can get into some shit for selling stolen goods. Private citizens though rarely get prosecuted for selling items they didn't know were stolen. And a company...

    Synergy Inbound!

    This is what I have, and what I'd recommend...when you can find them. I've got EL34s in one side, and 6L6s in the other, and I can switch between them when I switch channels/modules. Sure, it's not gonna sound exactly like the power amp of the module's name sake, but the RT2/50 isn't a bland...

    Roland Orzabal…..

    I saw them in Denver this past July, and they played a great show. I'd forgotten how many good tunes they have.
