    Some brutal metal tones with a VHT GP3

    I've just had this EMG 81 equipped guitar for a few months, but it is my No. 1. The bass is the only one I own, a Warwick Vampire SN-5. and I think it is a good match. I headband on the bass parts, but not the guitar. I can even make a stank face. Just too busy when I'm playing guitar haha.

    Is Pantera’s Cemetery Gates one of the best songs in three decades

    Phil had some vocal range, back then, but Dime was in his pirme I cry, and cry, that I will never see my heroes. PS: can anyone confirm that Nathan Gale went to school in Sri Lanka? That kid beat me with a baseballl over his claim that he wrote Pantera’s songs. I used to know him as Nate...

    Engl Savage 120 tone in a mix: Can't understand the hate for this amp!

    Apparently, this is one of the most hated amps on the forum, but I really like it a lot. And that's despite my poor mixing skills and playing. So what's wrong with the tone? Would love to get some constructive feedback on what sucks about this amp.

    I just lost my faith in Slayer…

    Well, not really. But just look at this interview with Tom Aarati’s. It’s like one giant cover up lol

    ESP RZK-II into Engl Savage 120 into Axe FXIII (Mix test)

    Just some riffs in a mix through this amazing combination of gear. I know there's a lot of dislike for the Savage 120 on the forums. and I'm not sure why. Aside from my poor mix, this thing really cuts, and sounds pretty brutal imho. No boost either.

    This is in a double dropped tuning. Guitar is an OD Guitars Venus 6. Running the amp into my Fryette PS-2 and then into the Axe FXIII for a cabinet.

    Hating on digital gear: How close does the Axe FXIII (as one such device) sound compared to one of the amps it models (Marshall JVM410)

    This is a comparison of the Axe FXIII OD1 orange and OD2 models versus the actual Marshall JVM410H amp in those same channels. I think it comes pretty close, and might even be indistinguishable in a blind test. Marshall makes great gear, and I hope this video will convince you that Fractal...

    Do you think he does this on purpose?

    What guitar is Eddie Van Halen playing in this video?

    Never seen anything like it. It’s a bit like an Explorer, with a cool graphic. https://www.facebook.com/share/XavJjx9ioaWeCA7Z/?mibextid=WC7FNe

    The best combo amp for metal (smaller gigs obviously)

    With everyone playing in smaller and smaller bars these days, and often without backline support, I was wondering what you guys thought was the best combo amp for metal in these types of gigs. I have limited experience, but my vote goes to the PRS Archon 25-watt combo. I used to own the...

    Comparing channels OD1 and OD2 on a Marshall JVM410H: Is the second overdrive channel that bad?

    I compared Channels OD1 and OD2 on the JVM. Funnily enough, I think the best tone I got out of the amp was with all the EQ controls at noon on OD2. Just very modern sounding.

    Grounding issue on guitar: Input Jack gone bad?

    Just clutching at straws on this one. Plugged in my Strandberg 8 today and there was this really loud hum like a grounding issue. Even when playing, you could hear the hum underneath. Popped open the electronics cavity and this is what I saw: Everything looks neat and tidy, so...

    Metallica wins Grammy

    Who’s surprised? Sounds like garbage to me that’s unrepresentative of metal today. But hey, the “people” voted.

    NAD Marshall JVM410H finally landed (with clip)

    So happy to have got this in the mail today! This is one of the amps that I sold and regretted selling immensely. So when I was amp shopping recently and I saw one in good condition, with a flight case included, I jumped on it. It's in mint condition, tubes have plenty of life, and everything...

    New Peavey 6505 II

    Anyone have the skinny on these? https://peavey.com/product/6505-ii-guitar-amplifier-head/ Peavey's classic high-gain legacy continues with the 6505 II. Like the original 6505 head, the 6505 II offers two channels. However, the 6505 II adds separate EQ, Resonance, and Presence controls to each...

    Ah, admission to nursing school

    I bet they require you to wear short skirts and come on video. What a pity, I don't fit the profile. I could use some extra cash.

    What is your favourite guitar tube amplifier? Only one, please

    Thought this might make a fun thread. What is your go-to or desert island amp? No modellers, please, I know they give a tonne of options. But tube amps only, please. In other words, if there was one amp to end all amps, which one would it be to you (looking at you Profs @Techdeth)! I would...
