Went to Tokyo for a few days and wanted to get a MIJ Jazzmaster. I like the JM shape but I haven't had a "real" one yet. There were a few humbucker models (Modern/Elemental) that looked good online but were mostly out of stock in shops. The final contenders were this Heritage 60's VS an Inoran...

I've been looking into a post-2014 '68 LPC reissue for a while, which supposedly have more "correct" specs but there weren't a lot of them made. So I settled with this 2010 '68 LPC "Authentic". No idea what "Authentic" means, maybe it means the VOS finish which wasn't too common on older 68RI's...

I've been looking into a semihollow for a while. But every time I looked into a Gibson 335 I just go "HOW MUCH they want for a plywood guitar?" and end up with another Les Paul instead. I was looking at a new Epiphone Lucille but realized that I can get an used Eastman T486 around that price...

I bought a 100w MC1 a few years ago and really liked it. Always fancied a MC2 since I'm quite curious about what the contour control does. Having a master volume on channel 1 sounds useful too. Got the chance to pick up this 2020 MC2 50 watter. Channel 1 is definitely a lot more usable than the...

I've looked into it back when I had a Mesa 2:90 but lost interest after I sold the 2:90 for a Fryette 2/90/2. The new Synergy IICP module actually got me interested in the Studio preamp again. Picked one up for not much more than the module. The condition is a bit rough but it's all functional...

Just picked up a 2019 Japan limited run 1955 Black Beauty Reissue. Mahogany cap, long tenon, true historic parts (whatever that means) etc. 9lbs 5oz which is fairly light for a non-weight relief Custom. I've seen weight-relived ones that are 10lbs+. 59 neck profile ie not a baseball bat but...

I ordered it during their black friday sale but they didn't have enough supply of the green chassis so it took a while to ship. I usually don't bother with low wattage amps due to my dislike of EL84's. However this one has 6V6 so I decided to give it a shot. Obviously it still doesn't sound...

I bought my first SLO100 in 2015 which still remains one of my favourite amps. I also had a HR50+ which I let go in early 2018 before the Seattle facility closed (you guys know the rest of the story), so I sort of regret not keeping the HR. A few weeks ago a friend told me he wants to get rid...

The first Norlin I've got. I was GASing for a Silverburst since a while but there isn't a lot of good choices out there. They only started making Silverburst Customs again sporadically around 2007 (?) and went richlite not long after. Maple neck VS Richlite, had to pick the lesser of 2 evils...

Seems like these 2 amps get compared a lot so I did a quick comparison clip. Just some random jams, excuse my shitty playing. Guitar: PRS McCarty Pickup: Bareknuckle Pig 90 Cab: Soldano 4x12" Speaker: Eminence Swamp Thang Microphone: Shure SM7B https://soundcloud.com/godgrinder666/se ...

Cheers to lespaul6 for the smooth trade. Two things I really like about it so far: It's got that "kerrang" of a good ol' Marshall but without the harsh fizziness, yet not being too "polite" like some modern M-type amps. It also remains crunchy at very high gain settings without becoming too...

7hCgo-0gwDY Just made another clip of the Synergy/Diezel VH4 module. 0:00 Through power amp and cab 1:39 Internal cab sim direct Power amp: Marshall 2203KK (through the fx return) Cab: Soldano 4x12" Speaker: Eminence Swamp Thang Microphone: Shure SM7B Song: Feared - Godless Devotion Reamped...

l__SDm7NQ-c A friend lent me his DSL100 for a few days, guess it's a good amp to showcase what the VFE boost can do because you all know what a DSL sounds like... Cab: Orange PPC412 Speaker: Celestion G12M Heritage Microphone: Shure SM7B Song: Feared - Caligula Reamped from Ola Englund DI...

A good deal came up locally, a friend really wants it but doesn't have cash at the moment. So I bought it for now and he'll buy it off me when he sells a few things in the next couple of weeks. Anyway here's a quick clip: YnCvLGVa6sA Cab: Soldano 4x12" Speaker: Eminence Texas Heat Microphone...

3vg2jOdUEX0 Just picked up this Salvation Camerock module which was supposedly based on a CCV. Not sure if they actually opened one up or is it based on the schematics floating online. Sounds pretty good anyway. Power amp: Marshall 2203KK (through the fx return) Cab: Orange PPC412 Speaker...

EGC aluminium bolt on neck + Warmoth black limba Regal body. Pickups are BKP Impulse and Dimarzio PAF Pro. A friend helped me with drilling and soldering. The tone knobs are dummies, just 2 vol controls and a 3 way toggle. However once we wired the toggle in, it seems to pick up more...

3OydsTpU8QQ Probably a bit "last month" by now haha. Anyway I borrowed a friend's Katana head for a few days. Very impressive for the price. Loaded up the SneakyAmps models as well, some of these sound decent too, even though they haven't been optimised for Katana. Cab: Soldano 4x12" Speaker...

A metal fest focusing on reunioned 70's/80's bands, and new bands that play old school styles. Figured that it might interests some of you here. FB event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1846486335597474/

Saw moltenmetalburn recommending this one in a Fortin Grind thread, which piqued my interest. Tracked down an used one and recorded a little clip with it. To make a somewhat over the top example, I had it boosting a bass amp. :lol: :LOL: https://soundcloud.com/godgrinder666/vf ... -meatsmoke...

Really loved this band when the first record came out 10 years ago. The 2nd record lost me a bit especially considering the long wait. Haven't checked out the new one yet. Been enjoying these 2 recently: https://frontierer.bandcamp.com/album/o ... athematics...
