Same with mine. It was a 98, apparently worked on or built by Mike B. This amp breathed fire, didn't have to boost to get a great tone. The guy I sold it to owns a studio and uses it on almost everything he records now. Won't sell it back to me ☠️

Nothing like watching cueball hamfist his way through these terrible riffs. I hear more of his pick chirp than I do the amp. Hopefully people fall for the hype so Rev G and Multiwatt prices fall. I'm trying to scoop something up cheap.

I'm currently getting away with my Quad Cortex as my only amp. Positive Grid FRFRs as the cabs. I have captures of my favorite amps at various settings, mostly my old IIC+s. If we're talking about tube amps? JP2C. Hands down the most versatile amp I've ever played. Dead quiet, no boost needed...

I shipped a IIC+ about a year and a half ago. I wrapped it in four moving blankets and put it into a Home Depot heavy duty cardboard box. I then wrapped that box and put it into another Home Depot heavy duty moving box. The boxes are $6 each. Moving blankets I got at Harbor Freight for $4 each...

Pretty positive this is a legit Kruse. I had a correction from my friend. The unit I have, he bought used. The unit with the warning label on the bottom he bought new. Given that the screws on both of them are expoxied in the same exact manner.. I can confidently say they are built by Kruse...

So you want to have Warm+Tube-like Tone? It can be in your hands for under.. $60+/- I had a friend talk me up on this Kruse power amp. He sent me the pedalboard version of the power amp. He bought two of them brand new. I got curious. What made this relatively unknown amp builders stuff just...

Let me get some of those duplicates :D

Literally take your pick of any Pete Thorn video. Timestamped 2:06

I never liked his channel mainly for his Kemper opinions, BUT.. I met him at NAMM last year and he's actually a really nice guy in person. It changed my opinion on him. I sometimes wonder if other youtubers I hate would be delightful in person. Except Glen, I could smell him coming from a mile...

Pretty fascinating. Thanks for the info. So it is a legit Fender, just assembled with parts and stamped "Made in USA" by the guys who threw the parts together. The neck feels pretty good, like any Japanese Fender. The body feels O.K., just a cheap feeling bridge and the pots/knobs feel gross. I...

Thanks for sharing the post and the insight. Tony kicked me out of his little group because he's a man baby, so I can't read or partake in the sharing of any of this info with some of the other IIC+ nerds.

If I may make some suggestions; use a Suhr RL or Redseven Ampcentral. I captured all my IIC+'s, 5150, 6505+, Invader before I sold them. I'm not one bit unhappy about it. I tried a Mesa CabClone IR+, Captor X, UA OX and they did not sound great for really pushed/gainy stuff. The Captor X...

I'm not an expert on strat identification at all. I've worked on a ton, just not my expertise. I saved this one from the dumpster. It looks like someone took a MIJ strat, stamped "Made in U.S.A." on the heel and tried to pass it off as a USA strat? I've played a handful of MIJ strats and the...

Those heart attack moments are stressful as fuck. :ROFLMAO: I stopped gigging with floyds for a bit because I just didn't "have it". I later 3D printing blocks for my floyds that I'd keep on top of my amp or in my back pocket. If I ever broke a string, I'd pop it in and it would keep my floyd...

Minimum of 2, although my Quantum case holds 3. I may look into an Enki. The first time you break a string on a Floyd equipped guitar live is fun, you can't even hobble through the song. It's rare, but made me paranoid. Pitch shift for anything weird. Guitar doesn't matter, audience can't tell...

What Pre-500 mod did you end up doing? These are the ones I've always read about but never had the chance to do. I have no idea how full of shit or accurate these are: - Change Orange Channel Gain pot to 500k - Change Red Channel Gain pot to 1M - Change Presence Pots to 250k on both channels -...

I make my passwords for everything my daughters name and a number. So my password for 90% of things is Susan69.

I've found a lot of variance in older Mesa amps within the same models. I had a buddy who bought a Rev F after he heard how good my Rev G sounded. His Rev F was flubby and trash. A Triple sounded better. He managed to sell it for a decent chunk because of the hype. Had another Rev G that sounded...

I'm thinking Dustie Waring might join them on guitars. Or at least I think that would be fun.

I foolishly sold my Rev G to buy a Badlander. I bought into the hype about it being the best dual rectifier, modern, tight, aggressive, no boost needed. That was a lie. I won't believe anymore Mesa Rectifier hype. I wouldn't pay for any of Mesa's line up these days. Same business plan as Gibson...
