    How hard is repairing a 5150iii?

    Yeah, I was gonna coment on pricing for these: I'm up in Ontario, Canada, and I can't find a used 100watt og 5153 for less than 2k, which is about $1300Usd. $850usd would be a great deal.

    How hard is repairing a 5150iii?

    Wow, that repair quote is actually a great deal. If that dude is only charging 1 hr labour to change out the filter caps and screen resistors, I'd grab the amp and run down there before he changes his mind. I've worked on a few of these and I don't think I could do that job in an hour. The...

    Evh 5150 III 2x12 Cab opinions

    While the cab construction is ok, the combo of the H30 anniversaries and the small-ish enclosure size is a recipe for focused and bright. Not a good match for Marshall style amps, unless its going to be used with a Jose style diode clipping circuit. The 4x12's with the EVH greenbacks are...

    Poll: Is this guitar Fugly? Ugly? So-so? Ho Ho? Yo Yo?

    Yes! I concur with this assessment 👌 That reverse headstock changes the whole vibe. As for the op's guitar.....well, its a Knaggs, so it probably plays and sounds great. Just don't play it in front of a mirror lol!

    Huey Lewis and the news 1985 Rock Am Ring

    Yeah, +1 I was never a big fan of this style of 80's music, but as a wanna be muso at that time, there was no denying the talent, songwriting and musicianship that went into creating a lot of the hits in that time period.

    Pickup for AC/DC toans

    I always thought classic Angus was an sg with T-tops. I put a set of MCP T- Wrecks in an 80's SG to cop that tone, and it sounds spot on to me. The T-wreck being Wade's take on that pu.

    George Dennis THE Blue midi commands???

    Never seen one of those amps before, but that looks really cool! If the gear sending the midi commands has an "omni" mode, or all channels, try that, and also try program change 100, 101, 102 etc... If I recall, the Diezel vh4 pc messages for channel switching are in the 100's. Maybe George is...

    INLINE MIC PAD: HELP

    What tube mic are we talking about, and what are you plugging the mic into? I'm not understanding what preamp you are talking about?

    INLINE MIC PAD: HELP

    Not sure what tube mic you're using, but the box that the mic connects to with the 7 pin connector is the power supply for the mic, not a preamp. The 3 pin connector coming out of that box is the raw mic signal. Put the pad here between the power supply and the interface/preamp. The reason for...

    My Langner mod 2203

    Amp sounds :rawk: First time I've seen those big-ass Solen coupling caps in a Marshall build. What did you like about those caps in the og 2203 build vs the usual suspects ? ( Synergy / Sozo etc..)

    What do people like for guitar pots now?

    Mojotone vintage taper CTS pots. They consistently measure close to the rated value and seem to last pretty well. I keep a stash of short and long 250k and 500k and change out all the electronics in any guitar I buy unless its a vintage piece.

    Charvel 2025....... *_*

    :love: Oh my, that looks awesome. I've been after a "super strat" style guitar for a while, but whenever I stop into the local big box retailer and play the Fender offerings, I'm never feelin it. Necks are too thin and the frets are too small. Looking at the back of the neck in those pics, it...

    Humbucker Coil Splitting question

    Grounding the green/white junction as shown in the diagram with the push/pull pots will leave the screw coil active. Same for both neck and bridge pickups.

    Fuckin FUZZ

    Oh man, whats that Arcane Analog pedal? I got him to make me an mk1 Tone bender, with all nos parts and a bias pot on top along with the vol and fuzz controls. Its the best fuzz I've ever heard. Had it for forever. And cool feature: the bias pot turned all the way counter clockwise has a switch...
