    Nitro sounds like crap - FIXED!

    Hi guys - I excitedly plugged up my new (to me) Nitro KT88 today, sounds like shit. I've not owned a KT88 amp before, and I'm not sure how much they are the culprit or these an issue somewhere, but it's wooly and dull - no bite, all flub. Rather than replace them, was thinking I should go...

    Pickup for my cheap, token heavy axe

    So I'm more of a rock / Gibson guy but I picked up cheap and surprisingly nice playing Schecter recently. It's an older C1 blackjack with a JB in the bridge. It'll live in drop C or C# for when I feel the occasional need to chug. Thinking of a pickup swap to something ceramic - hopefully to...

    My Mesa quest continues - Studio Preamp

    Looking for a Mark style amp but came across a Studio preamp with C++ mod done by Mike B. What's the scoop? I'm intrigued but no option to try before buy. Was planning on running it into the FX return of a Marshall or Friedman, figured that should work well. If you've played one please chime...

    A pair of Fane F70's, and empty quad box and an itch

    Howdy - have a pair of Fanes I'd like to utilise. I have 3 loaded 4x12's - one with G12M's, one with G12H30's and a stock Friedman (M/V30). All sound great but want to get the Fanes in a spare 4th. Who's had success mixing them with Celestions? I have a spare pair of G12M's, Heritage H 55Hz...

    Mesa MkIII - your thoughts

    BE100 update from outside the US?

    Hey guys, Has anyone had successful communications through Friedman on this? I have a 2015 BE I'd like to get upgraded by a local tech as shipping the amp back to the states is ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't necessarily need parts, just instructions. I'm wondering if I'll have any luck as...

    How do you like to hear amps demo'd online?

    Hey guys, A friend of mine in the UK is starting do some pretty cool amp mods and has asked if I can help with some clips. It seems the most common approaches are: Option1 - close mic, guitar only Option2 - close mic, and hear it in a band mix Opton3 - no close mic (phone audio or some other...
