    Judas Priest have just scored their highest charting album ever with Invincible Shield

    FFS people :no: It's simple...they made a great album...build it and they will come. Don't try to adapt to trends, don't hold back...deliver your classic sound/attitude and fans will be receptive.

    Best Boost Pedal

    Yes indeed, good eye....was originally a 70's AC powered one....I gave it a fresh sprague atom cap while I was there....I need to give the Reticon SAD1024A a new socket but it's working great so I didn't F with it.

    20 year anniversary: Damageplan - New Found Power

    Couldn't get into it....Nu Metal does nothing for me, nor anything influenced by it. I personally(even though I like all the albums) wished Pantera would have stayed in the direction that CFH was on....more ripping guitar solos and interesting melodics with thrashy grooves.

    Power Amp shootout by Michael Nielsen.... H&H v800, VHT 2150, Fryette Power Station, Rivera TBR1-SL

    I do not use the hi cut as the power stage is flat compared to if I was using another head or tube power amp to amplify the slaved signal.

    Divine Intervention is the best Slayer album

    It's the last Slayer album I purchased(later works seemed to have too much"outside" influence....it(Divine Intervention) was good, but it also had the pleasure of delivering what Slayer should, at a time when many in the genre were seemingly trying to adapt to trends of the day(foolishly), and I...

    Tell me about the DiMarzio Air Norton, please.

    It's my fav. neck bucker, I traded out a lot of them back when I was searching, neck pickups are hard to get right...it's not lacking attack by any means(otherwise I wouldn't dig it as I tend to favor a shreddy neck pickup) but I know what you're saying(I used to frequent the dimarzio forums too...

    Tell me about the DiMarzio Air Norton, please.

    I can see that in a Les Paul, but in a floyded guitar it would be just right (y)Results will vary between guitars of course.....For me the Paf Joe is "the one" https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/vintage-paf-output/paf-joe?v=24289

    Tell me about the DiMarzio Air Norton, please.

    That happens by default really, the only difference is if the neck pickup will be mud......I've found through the years a bright neck pickup in combination with a fat bridge pickup can work great....this allows you to have respectable treble on the amp to get the bridge just right(but not ice...

    Tell me about the DiMarzio Air Norton, please.

    Not enough cut in the neck position for my taste....too dark.

    Power Amp shootout by Michael Nielsen.... H&H v800, VHT 2150, Fryette Power Station, Rivera TBR1-SL

    Very NICE! Man I do miss having it in the arsenal.....was a keeper and I fucked up and sold it lol, all to fund new shit through the years.....so much of my old gear I wish I would have kept.....but I'm super happy with my tone now and am out of the chase....only thing I chase nowadays is the...

    PanterA with a iic+

    Clip sounds good to me, and well played! Agreed on needing a bit more low end. What drum software you using there? Cowboys FTW!

    Power Amp shootout by Michael Nielsen.... H&H v800, VHT 2150, Fryette Power Station, Rivera TBR1-SL

    +1 Great power amp for preamp based rigs(used one with different MP-1/Triaxis/3+SE rigs through the years and always sounded great, wish I had kept mine)

    Power Amp shootout by Michael Nielsen.... H&H v800, VHT 2150, Fryette Power Station, Rivera TBR1-SL

    Dave F. is recommending the Avantone CLA power amps, I'm not sure if the Matrix power amps are still available, I get great results with the Duncan Power Stage 700 for this application....it is stupid loud and sounds great....David Phillips(LA sound design) gives the Duncan power stage power...
