I’m curious when Marshall changed their 4x12 wiring from series-parallel (speaker to jack) to parallel-series? Was it in 1990 to accommodate the mono/stereo jack on the JCM900 cabs or was it sometime before that?

I've had the Carsten Grace amp for a little while now and have been really digging it. I finally broke down and grabbed the matching 2x12 cab with the Weber Ceramic Blue Dog 100w and Celestion Alnico Cream speakers. That amp really does sound great with that cab & speakers. Here's a quick clip...

I finally gave the MCP second degree blackbelt a go. It’s one I’ve always been curious about, and I have to say it’s a great sounding pickup. The WCR Godwood is another one I find myself curious about too. For those that have been able to compare them, what’s the low down between them? Also...

Found an old clip of my Cali mod I did last year. It was one of my first times running it through the front load cab. I thought it sounded cool, so I figured I'd post it up here. Solo'd guitars are after the drums. Here's the chain: Icebuckers Fortin Cali Mod (No external boost; saturation on)...

So I finally got around to trying the Seymour Duncan Custom SH-5. That's one I've always been curious about. I slapped it in my Hamer Korina Vector, and I have to say I'm really digging it in there. Duncan's description on the website is actually very accurate. This guitar has always been warm...

I reached out to TAD about what EL34's they'd recommend for an amp that sits around 520V at the plates w/the screens around the same. I don't know the exact screen reading, but it's on an older modded Marshall and I've always heard Marshall screen voltages tend to only be a few volts below the...

Got to say this doesn’t exactly make me want to run out and buy one…

I know the MCP Garuda very well and like it quite a bit, but the Rebel Yell is one that has interested off and on over the years. Have any of you all compared a Rebel Yell and Garuda in the same guitar? Bonus points if it was in a single cut style guitar. What I'm basically wondering: - Which...

Hey, you all. I'm brand new to reamping and have been getting some ground loop hum. The noise floor is of a similar volume level to plugging straight into the amp, but when I have it set up to reamp I get this underlying ground loop hum. I've exhausted everything I know to try, so figured I'd...

These pickups have piqued my interest. Have any of you tried these yet? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.

Inspired by the current Flying V thread, I thought I'd post a thread to see what pickups you all like in your V's. I find they're sometimes a little more particular about pickups than your typical super strat or single cut. Here are some I've tried over the years that I thought were good: MCP...

I have a MCP Detroiter bridge pickup I’m looking to trade. It’s 50mm spacing, short leg, 4 conductor, and it has plenty of lead left on it. It works fine with no issues. I will get more pictures tomorrow after I remove it. I’m looking for an uncovered MCP 2nd Degree Black Belt bridge pickup. It...

I'm curious if any of you all have played any of the 5150iii amps through some Celestion G12-65's? What were you all's thoughts?

Just curious whatever happened with the custom Celestion speakers. Are those still in the works or did they get canned?

Does anyone know if these are wired series (speakers) - parallel (jack) or parallel-series?

Just like the title says, what’s the story on these? There is a clip on YouTube with it compared to a G12-65 and both sound great, but the BM75-LD had something to it I really liked. Do these hold up well with fast riffing and lots of gain? Do the hold together tuned to D and drop C?

I'm selling a Lundgren M6 bridge pickup. There are no issues with it and it functions as it should. There's plenty of lead left on it. Paypal'd and shipped to the lower 48 for SOLD

It’s been 19 years since I’ve owned a rectifier, and I’m considering checking out a multiwatt. I’m mainly curious about the loop and volume. I can play loud where I’m at, but I do prefer something that can sound good at manageable levels too. - Can these sound good at bedroom level and does...

I've done some digging on these speakers and have a general understanding on the difference with these speakers. I feel like I run across more posts with players favoring the reissue. That said, I'm wondering if there is anyone here who has compared these speakers while playing something like a...

Hey, have any of you tried a Nasty Nasty in an alder strat of some sort? I have one and have had it in a couple of LP’s but never a strat. I’ve been thinking of swapping it in my super strat, but i’m wondering if anyone here already has and what your thoughts were? Was it too tight in a strat or...
