    Going to Tokyo, need guitar buying advice

    Hey all, going to Tokyo for my first time this November and I've always heard the music stores are out of this world. I'm looking for suggestions on places to go while I'm there. Also, doubt I'll be able to carry much back with me on the plane, so if anyone has had stores there ship to the USA...

    Herbert problems

    I'm not sure how to describe this one, but looking for some help. My Herbert is making a sort of crackling noise when I sustain a chord. It's intermittent, but really annoying. If you listen to the clips below, it sounds like a sort of digital breakup on the recording, it's not. It's live in the...

    Looking for a reputable tech for my Herbert, NY/East coast

    I've got an older Herbert, been losing power and having the amp cut out. Went to replace the power tubes and flipped on the power (in standby) to starting biasing the new tubes and there was a loud pop and smoke. Immediately shut it off and haven't touched it. Guessing it's going to need some...

    Herbert blown fuse

    During the process of retubing my Herbert, I came across a blown 500ma on the outer tube pair. The tubes in that pair were 6550s (now KT77s). I've replaced the fuse and all the tubes, biased to 75mA per pair as per Peter's suggestion on another thread and I'm going to keep an eye on things. Just...

    What are the stock speakers in JCM800 cabs?

    What speakers came stock in the JCM800 cabs? I've read that it could be G12-65s, G12M70s or G12T75s. There's a guy selling one locally and he has no idea what's in it and I'm wondering if it's worth going over and taking the back off.

    Marshall 1982a cab

    I found an early 80s Marshall 1982a cab locally that's loaded with G12-80s. It's beat to hell and I'm trying to find out what a fair price on it is. Anybody have any idea what they're worth? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is these aren't all that valuable or collectible.

    Diezel and Celestion Golds

    Anybody using them? I love the clips I'm hearing of them and I've loved the Celestion Blues I've heard, so I'm toying with the idea of getting some golds to go with my Herbert and Mesa Mark III. Not many people seem to be using these speakers with high gainers, so I was just wondering if anyone...

    Parts for Herbert

    Much to my dismay, my Herbert only has 5 pin midi jacks on the back. I figure swapping it over to a 7 pin jack, at least on the midi in side for phantom power, should be an easy swap. The problem is, I can't find a 7 pin midi jack anywhere that I've looked. Anyone know where I can find one in a...

    WGS Reaper vs Weber 1230/Scumback H55

    I'm finding the pair of Reaper HPs I have are slowly becoming my go to speaker with my Herbert. I'm thinking about buying another pair and I'm wondering if it's worth it to spend more on Weber 1230s or Scumback H55s instead. Anybody A/B them or try them all and care to offer any insight?

    Herbert midi jacks - only 5 pins

    My Herbert only has 5 pin midi jacks on it. Is this normal? I've been looking for a new midi controller and many need a 7pin cable for phantom power, so I'm thinking this is going to be an issue. Serial # 001/081 if it matters. Thanks.

    Problem with Herbert - crackling noise with MIDI

    I know there was a thread about this a while ago, but I can't find it with the search. I'm running some older digitech rack stuff (2112/2120) with my Herbert and a Behringer FCB1010 foot controller. Anytime I use one of the expression pedal on the FCB1010 I get a real quiet crackling sound...
