    Budda SD18/SD30

    Anyone have any experience with one of these? I have a side project going (Alt. Country/Rock) and I need some different tones. I will be playing a telecaster 90% of the time through greenback loaded cabs. Just brainstorming on amps at this point :confused:

    Charvel pickup swaps over the weekend..............

    I dug through my parts drawer last weekend to find the best pickup for my San Dimas. I have about 8-10 spare pups, and I decided to try the following: Stock JB - OK, but I just cant get over the nasal mids and spongy response JB w/Ceramic 8 magnet - better, but went to the other...

    Splawn Small Blocks vs WGS Green Berets..........my review

    I'll start out by apolgizing for not having comparison clips........but I will do that soon. I used both of the amps in my sig for the comparison. I started with an old Marshall JCM800 4x12 loaded with Green Berets and a Mojo 4x12 loaded with Small Blocks. Both quads have had at least 15...

    Old G12T-75's.........wasn't expecting this !

    I scored a quad of 25 year old 75's and loaded them in a Mojotone 4x12 Straight. They sound fantastic and nothing like the recent 75's I have used in the past. Smooth as butter on the highs and nice tight lows. What I really wasn't expecting is that the cab is noticeable LOUDER than the exact...

    Les Pauls and Pickup Swaps

    I've come to the conclusion that no matter how many high end pickups I throw into the bridge of my Les Pauls, it always sounds better when I decide to put Gibson pups back in there. I honestly cant remember all the pups I've had in LP's through the years.............WCR, MCP, BKP, Rio Grande...

    Dimarzio Air Classic neck......

    Bareknuckle Cold Sweat !!!

    I scored a non-weight relieved Les Paul Classic off the Bay awhile back and have been struggling with it ever since. The tone is dark/muddy and has little sustain. Totally different than my other LP's. It also sounds really congested/messy with my OD pedals. Its been a real pain in the ass...

    Gibson 500T in a strat......

    Would this be worth visiting ? I swapped the pickguard on my USA s/s/s strat and have already tried a JB (too cocked wah sounding) and a Dimarzio Super Distortion (too muddy/bassy). I think I'm going to pop my P-90 back in there. But before I do, I have a 500T from the early 90's laying in a...

    Splawn Nitro/Super Comp

    Thinking about ordering a 50 Watt EL34 Super Comp. What is the general consensus around here? Will it cover classic metal or is it simply a brootz amp? How well will it perform at practice levels? Speaker preferences? Tell me anything you can. The clips sound great.

    500T vs Duncan Distortion

    Which one has more high mids and clarity? This will be put in a LP. I'm not interested in boutique pups so try and keep the discussion on these 2 pups.

    My WGS Reaper vs Hellatone 30 (G12H) comparison

    I know everyone will be screaming for clips, but I haven't got around to doing that yet.............but Today I received a brand new pair of Reaper 30 watt 75hZ speakers. My original idea was to replace the Veteran 30's in my 4x12 and run a mix of Hellatone 30's/WGS Reapers. Before I took...

    Opinions on 500T in Les Paul

    I just scored this mint 99' Classic and I've never used the 500T other than in a V and I honestly don't remember much about it. I'll be playing heavy southern rock and classic metal with hot rodded Marshall tones if that helps. Any reason to start thinking about a pickup swap.........even...

    Best OD/Booster I've ever used

    I just put my OD search to rest for good. I've been through a ton (Xotic BB & RC, OCD, Barber DD, Maxon 808, Keeley SD-1, Modded DOD250, Bad Monkey, MXR ZW-44, and probably more I can't remember........ I received the Maxon OOD-9 today and I have been amazed ever since I first hooked it up in...

    Anyone use a Duncan 59' in the bridge

    I'm growing tired of the JB in the bridge of my LP. At times it seems to be too compressed and a bit muddy on the lows. I'm thinking of going towards something with less output and more clarity. I already have plenty gain from my amps. I specifically want to know about the 59'. I've already...

    Has anyone played both ? Who can compare the amount of gain on tap and the differences in the voicing ?

    Going to see Nugent with Derek St. Holmes tomorrow

    Supposedly this is a "one time event" and Derek will be be on stage for the full set. I'm pretty stoked :thumbsup: I really love Nugent and I have seen him about 5 times in the last 15 years, but I probably would not go this time if it weren't for St. Holmes. He is one of my favorite rock...

    I plugged into my 6505 for the first time in about 5 months tonight and I forgot how awesome it is. Bone stock, no boost :rock:
