    What's Up With Expensive Cabs?

    For used on FB market place I either see really cheap 412 cabs like the lower series Marshall cabs or vintage cabs for crazy money. Very little in between and honestly not a ton of listings in my area for 412s at all.

    Do you stick with one brand pickup?

    I also like to mix it up, Seymour Duncan, Suhr, and TV Jones are some of my favorites though

    "Handwired" 4 Watt Vox AC4......

    I wish there were more kit builds options like from Mojotone on Vox amps like the AC4 and AC10 SRT. They have an AC15. I am following a thread on TGP on these new Vox amps and there is talk of the new AC10 HW having a transistor as one of the gain stages. I looked up the specs and sure enough...

    2013 Gibson at its finest, WTF?

    My buddy brought over his 2013 Gibson Les Paul Gold top. He had got some Suhr Aldrich pickups from me and they weren't sounding right, very weak. After some testing, I found the stock pickups were wired wrong. They put the coils out of phase when in standard series mode. Both the bridge and the...

    "Handwired" 4 Watt Vox AC4......

    The new Vox handwired amps are trickling out, seen the AC4 and the AC10. They are said to have a pretty thin cab, so some have been reported to be warped. The AC4 has mostly gotten good review form what I have seen, but I wish they would have skipped the effects loop and reverb.

    Another Stupid Deal of the Day

    I read Satin very fast and thought the 'i' was an 'a' but don't worry I called the Church lady

    TU3 goes out of tune vs Polytune

    I like the switchable buffer on the Peterson Strobostomp HD. I have used a TC Polytune and it was good, but I don't want to support Music Tribe.

    I like that I don't get banned for stupid stuff.

    Brian Wilson died :(

    RIP Brian What a life. Amazingly gifted and also tortured at the same time. So happy that he was able to complete Smile decades later.

    Changed the v1 tube on my Slo 30

    I am curious what cab/speakers you were using?

    Got a temp ban on TGP

    That is a pretty weak excuse for a ban. You just acknowledged that you couldn't go into other issues due to TGP rules, I don't get how that is ban worthy.

    Bucket list amps you haven’t gotten to play yet, much less own?

    Hiwatt DR103 or DR504, but I did play my first clone a while back Never played a true Bogner, not counting the Alchemist Fender Tube Tonemaster from the 90s Laney SuperGroup That is what comes to mind.

    Gibson haters……..

    Some Gibson hate is justified, like on the Silver panel Gibson amps from the mid 60s like the Saturn and Minuteman that I worked on recently. WTF was Gibson thinking? As for their guitars, sure they have had some dogs, but I love my '73 Norlin LP custom, especially with the new bridge. Love my...

    Most disappointing distortion pedal you ever tried

    Empress Distortion is the first that comes to mind. https://empresseffects.com/products/distortion?srsltid=AfmBOorgCpwZTeBXhTS2QYhJ5OhXo88C0JNyxxPut6s8E-nqHsF9fDod I like other empress effects like their compressor, delay, and reverb, but the distortion was just lacking character and harsh.

    Do any of you guys use Fuzz(s) at all ???

    I don't use fuzz a ton, but my musket big muff style fuzz gets the most use. Also have a Si Fuzzface and a Superfuzz. On my wish list is the crazy tube circuits constellation fuzz, which has a Treble booster and GE fuzz in the same box.

    Interesting concept...Celestion Peacekeeper: A Revolutionary New Attenuating Speaker for Guitarists

    I don't know how inefficient those speakers actually got and they were only easily adjustable if you had an opened back cab.

    Impedance change when pulling two power tubes?

    If the captor is designed right, it should handle a 100Watt amp no problem, in which case you don't need to pull two power tubes. I would check it both ways with 4 power tubes and with 2 power tubes into the captor and see what you prefer I am getting a captor X in a trade in a few weeks. I...

    Interesting concept...Celestion Peacekeeper: A Revolutionary New Attenuating Speaker for Guitarists

    This can be tough with hollow body and semi hollow body guitars. My Epi Casino is very loud acoustically. I am glad celestion is releasing the peace keeper, its another way to keep volume in check, another tool in the tool box. My issue is the price, at ~$250 its priced in the celestion alnico...
