    Kemper or ?

    Long story short, I’ve played a Kemper doing a blind test and thought it was a real amp. Not saying that in a slamming way, it just fooled me so I’m now convinced it will fool the audience. After knowing it was a Kemper I was able to spend a few days at home with it and I just love the tone...

    FX8 or get a new switcher

    I've been a longtime user of the Rivera rm1 switcher. Unfortunately mine has died and I need a replacement. Normally, I don't use much for effects. I run a Maxon od808 and Keeley red dirt for my overdrives (maxon normal and keeley if using low output pickups) with a flashback x4 in the loop. I'm...

    Helios owners: new vs 2014? Which revision?

    So I've wanted a Helios since trying one out a few months ago. A local one just came up for sale but it's from 2014. I had been looking at the current 50w version but this is a 100w. I know they had some hum issues early on and I thought it had a loop issue as well. Just looking for any owners...

    Opinions on G&L invaders?

    I have an opportunity to get a mid-90s USA invader. It's a swamp ash body with maple neck hsh and gotoh Floyd. I don't need another guitar but he's offering it as extra trade on something I'm selling. He doesn't have enough cash and this would be covering around 750 of the purchase price. It's...

    NKD ESP

    New Kamikaze day. I finally was able to snag a Kami 3 from a buddy of mine. It's as cherry as they come and an early one at that. Got a good deal and the last one I will get for a time. I sold a ton of my collection to get what I really wanted. It's been a purge, you all know the current market...

    New Explorer Day

    I've been wanting a classic Gibson E2 CMT. Good friend of mine has one and I always thought they were awesome guitars. Had trouble finding a clean one. Found one and here she is. Great guitars. Curly maple top, ebony board, 3pc flame maple neck, dirty fingers pickups, heavy and sounds great...

    NGD-Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White - Nickel or Gold

    Looks great. I like the gold on very few guitars but on a Les Paul Custom, it seems to fit. But I'm sure anything will look good on it, they are such classy guitars.

    Wizard or SLO

    I know there was a similar thread awhile ago but I have sold enough gear to finally get either an SLO or a Wizard. I play a Splawn now and love it but I've heard two different bands playing Wizard and holy crap did they sound awesome. On the flip side I saw a Crue tribute where the guy played an...

    Preamp tubes making me rethink my tubes

    I've always just bought whatever was the "good" tubes without giving much thought to all the hype over NOS stuff. Well I received a big box of the NOS chinese tubes Snave was selling on here yesterday. They came superbly packed and shipped fast so definitely don't hesitate to buy from Snave. I...

    That's a beauty congrats. I prefer the two piece bridge like that over the string thru. Shred time

    Splawn Quick Rod

    I'm reviewing a Splawn Quick Rod. I'm doing this review after owning the amp and gigging with it for a year. This month I turn a year on a used Splawn and all I can say is, thank you Scott Splawn. I heard tons about weird mids, marshall type, unknown speakers to me, etc. Well I'm glad I took a...
