    Looking for a quality 8" speaker for pedal test rig

    As the title states. I am out of the loop on the market here to be honest. Been building and that's about it. Its been a year or so since I have been here. I bought a Terror Stamp and orange 1x8 for a pedal test rig. I am waiting for the cab to show up, but I know I am not going to be served...

    Whatcha liking for KT77's?

    Getting a 2015 Archon 50want some KT77's, I don't really know where to go tbh. JJ or Genelex? I am not thrilled with JJ, don't want to pay $50 a pop for Genelex and I have found Genelex to sound a little stiff with some other amps. But that's about it. Whatcha'y'all think?

    Russian / Soviet 6V6 equivalent?

    I just bought some 5881 and EL84 Soviet tubes for dirt cheap on eBay and I like them. Is there a cheap Russian 6V6 equivalent that I can nab up cheap? I would be buying 20+ to stock up if I can find one.

    Need Studio Headphones $200 what should I get?

    I am looking to spend $200 on a pair of headphones. This will be used with a DAW and for my Suhr RLIR. I am looking for something relatively flat, but comfort is important too. These will be used in conjunction with my NS10's for mixes, although I am used to the NS10's for mixing for the final...

    FIRST GO! Mesa and Suhr RLIR

    This is the first time i have used the Suhr RLIR at all, it had been in its box for a while unopened. it was intimidating TBH, especially because i am not a computer buff regaring the Reaper and that kind of stuff. Got it hooked up, dialed in the IR i liked which was a V30 IR. really liked it...

    NGD 1989 MIJ Fender Strat

    I snagged this for $400 on Craigslist and gave it a little bit of love. I gave the frets a quick crowning, cut a nut, shielded the guitar. I got a new pickguard FOR an HSS, replaced the pots with a CTS 500k for volume and Bornes 250K for the tone knobs (I prefer Bornes taper for tone knobs)...

    Who pulls a pair of tubes on their 100w Splawns?

    I have ran my Nitro, QR, and PM for probably longer than 10 years with just two power tubes (half tubes thus half ohms) . Still a shit ton of power and bottom end. No complaints. At the time I liked it. So I just put a quad in the QR and thought it was just about the same, pulled two of them...

    On the fence... Framus Dragon.

    I am contemplating selling my Framus Dragon. I *like* it but I have too many amps that overlap, but it's not a *love* thing. It's in great shape and if I sell it it will be FB Market Place or CL, I really really don't want to ship it. My only hesitancy is that I don't know how hard it would be...

    NAD KRUZE modded Mesa

    I don't really post NAD ever but Got this in trade for an Engl Powerball. The Powerball was not my thing. It was decent, but I don't trust Engl to be reliable and did not want to go into something with a failed amp down the line that I can't reasonably repair. I got a Mesa Stiletto Ace that...

    Combo LOVE!

    We all seem to dig our heads and big ass cabs, let's showcase some of our combo amps in here and not leave them in the backline. I recently snagged a PRS Archon 25w 1x12 and swapped the speaker to a Scumback M65 and she breathes fire, the speaker woke up the monster and made it much more...

    Drum software recs...? General Recording setup advice.

    I am looking for drum software, but I have no idea where to start or look. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, a Korg Synth (MIDI), and the guitar will be going through my Suhr RLIR, and I use a Tech 21 Sansamp for the bass. I also have a few Radial Engineering Reampers and DI's around, as well...

    Shout-out to Scott Splawn!

    My Nitro (KT88) was down for a bit and I didn't get around to using it. I went through basic troubleshooting and a little bit deeper. Could not figure it out. So I called Scott. I told him that I bought it used and did not expect much guidance but as always he is a great guy and I told him...

    Radial Engineering headbone VT issue

    I have a Radial Engineering Headbone VT, Which is a switcher for two heads into one cab. I have the Promod and Quickrod hooked up to it, and there is clearly something that is wrong. I triple checked the wiring, powered everything up, and when I have one amp on the Headbone makes a high...

    PRS Archon Speaker Recommendations?

    I have the 25watt combo and find myself very impressed, but I cannot help but feel that the T75 really isn't helping anything and that I could squeeze a little bit more out of it with a different speaker. I don't want to buy a 'new' speaker ideally and don't really want to drop more than $100...

I have had some JJ's in the past that in all honesty were decent, but I wasn't overly impressed in general. I just...
