Hey all, I'm curious about the ESP eclipse, I currently have a Gibson LP standard with the 60's slim neck but i'm looking for a single cut that's a bit faster and can go a bit heavier (given a lot of the eclipse have EMGs in them) and I prefer an ebony board. I owned an LTD KH-602 in the past...

Hey all, Has anyone tried one of these? The addition of the neck pickup is a nice addition relative to the older models. Not sure the ESP Custom Shop version is worth the big bump in price given the specs are very similar. Looking to get a V-type shredder that can do the heavy rhythm stuff and...

Hey all! Been a little while since I posted. I've seen lots of positive reviews on the new Uber Ultra lately. I've never tried an Uberschall unfortunately, but I have a fantastic Ecstasy 101B from 1997 that impressed me with Bogner. I have several high gainers (Friedman BE100 DLX, Monomyth...

Curious to see what people's thoughts are on these if they've tried them. They seem to be fairly similar in price to the current Gibson LP Standards. just wondering if people have tried any of these yet. I'm most interested in the Greeny and Adam Jones Standard models. Cheers, Jesse

Hey everyone, This is a bit of a niche question, but for anyone out there who has tried / owned both, what did you prefer and why? Curious to see if the differences are significant or not between these two models. Pricing premium seems to go towards the Black Dot / No Stripe from what I can...

Hey all, What would you choose between these two if they were the same price? Curious to see how people compare the III vs the IV. Curious as well what the "best" revisions are for these two amps. Don't see those comparisons as much. I've only ever owned a Mark V and wasn't crazy about it...

Hey everyone, I've beefed up my amp collection recently. I have a late 90's Bogner 101b, Fryette Deliverance D60 I, and a Friedman BE100 DLX in my collection and have been using them through a Mesa Recto 2x12 with V30s in it. I've been thinking about getting a 4x12. I've only heard good things...

Hey everyone, Looking to get some fresh views on everyone's favourite high gain head for lead tones. Curious to hear what effects you're running through. I'm more of a marshall-based guy but love some obvious non-marshall lead tones (some of Petrucci's stuff in Dream Theatre comes to mind) but...

ThorpyFX Pulse Doppler Phaser, Redbeard Effects Angry Rhubarb, Demon Pedal Kondo Shifuku Dumble Style OD Realize I am just not going to use these pedals ever - been using my current board and Axe FX III for effects mainly. The pedals i've bought new and have only used them once to test them and...

Hi all, Have the BE100 Deluxe which I love - covers a lot of ground and no plans on moving it. What are some high gain alternatives that would complement it? i.e. different voicing, more gain, less "saturated" etc. Curious to see what options there are to justify adding another high gainer that...

Hey everyone, I've been looking at the Fryette stuff for a while for a bit more of an open sounding, high gain head. The D60 II is available new (albeit I can't try one because I'm in Canada) but I could buy and return if needed. There is also a used Fryette Pittbull 50 CL. I was wondering if...

Hey all, Was in a store picking up a new guitar and wanted to give it a test run. The store had a Badlander 50W combo which has a 65W Creamback speaker in it I believe. I was pretty impressed with the sounds I could get in under 5 minutes (mainly playing hair metal and thrash type stuff on it)...

Hi everyone, I've found I am very attracted to the modded Marshall builders mentioned here frequently (Friedman & Wizard for example). I think i'm covered there. But could someone give me some insight on the prototypical American high gain sound (Mesa, 5150?) that is different from the marshall...

Hi everyone, I've enjoyed being part of the community so far. I really like the Friedman BE Deluxe amp as it covers a lot of ground for the genres I play. I have a couple other amps that cover super clean and super heavy. I'm just curious what cabinets people are using with their BE deluxe (50...

Hey all, Newbie here. Been a long time observer but after building up my stable of gear I'd like to become more involved in the forum. I'm looking to add another high gain amp (or two) to my collection. I currently have a Mesa Mark 5:35 with the horizontal 2x12 with v30s in it. My other amp is...
