Also, some amps only sound good if they're cranked and the speakers start pushing air. No attenuator will save them. Every Laney (GH, VH) I've owned sounded fizzy and uninspiring until you cranked them past 3-4 on the master volume. Tried 5 different cabs and speakers, but same deal. Which is...

H&K Tube 100 from the 90s. Worst piece of shit I've ever owned or heard. Clean channel sounded like a guitar straight into a $50 mixer. OD channel sounded like a mediocre distortion pedal straight into the same board, but with extra flubby bass and grainy mids. It sounded so bad that I felt...

Dang, even pros are plagued by the wobbly OFR trem arm.

I don't know how much Laney GH/VH series cost in the US, but here in Norway you almost can't give them away. The past year I've bought a VH100R for $350, a GH100L for $250, and a GH100TI for $250. I've previously owned GH50L and GH100L, and never paid more than $400 for them used. At the same...

Also, FWIW, many of these Instagram/TikTok shredders can't really play their own stuff live. Or it sounds horribly butchered if they attempt to play the songs live. But that's just the nature of things where you write incredibly unrealistic stuff, and punch in the licks either note by note, or a...

He's a good guitarist, so are rest of these new class of "modern" shredders. My only complains are the following: - They all have dogshit clean tones, and that's pretty much all they use. There's just something about that ultra clean and hi-fi sounding clean sound that doesn't work for me...

Did it today by accident on my Folkesson modded plexi, where the fx. return is right by the input jack. My goodness, it turned out to be absolute perfection, as far as sizzling and PUNCHY hot-rodded Marshall tone goes - I could not believe my ears. Only downside, and this was unfortunately quite...

I used to play with a boss EQ pedal (level dimmed) straight into the front of a 50w JMP 2204, it sounded brutal. No doubt Metallica could sound like they did with a basic OD pedal in front of a JMP.

It has a interesting design, do check out the vids of them. I think the Metaltronix were re-branded amps of the same model. IIRC, they have this unique (discrete) circular switch, where you can switch through different levels of mid-tone. Some of the settings sounded quite good, very...

And FWIW, I feel that a lot of these aging artists need some youthful artists working with them - in the studio, helping the write songs, I don't care - just something. With the vast majority of artists, the creativity seems to dwindle as they get older. Phoning in the same old stuff, over and...

I'm a huge fan of Yngwie, one of my first true guitar heroes. To me, it simply seems like he decided to get rid of everything that costs money. He's always been in control, artistically speaking, but getting rid of a live drummer, and doing the vocals himself, were the last straw. Musically...

Decided I want to swap out the muddy V pickups. For Neck, I want something smooth and Yngwie like. I know a single coil would have done this, but it's a HSH guitar... I'm thinking maybe Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell, Bluesbucker or something like that? For Bridge, I want a Fat, but...
