    JBL K120

    I got this in a Seismic 1x12 with a Crate BV60 for freaking $50 this week. No idea what this speaker is intended for or how it sounds, but I'm trying to see if anyone here has experience with them at all?

    Recorded with my kid this week

    My son and I started working on recording last few nights. He's been playing for a year and a half now. He's crushing it on rhythms on all the Metallica albums up to the Black album, as well as a lot of Slayer and Pantera. Decided to team up for the interlude harmonies on Metallica's One...

    DSL resurrected

    Bought this a few weeks ago for $300. Previous owner said it went whisper quiet all of a sudden. He put new power tubes in it but didn't solve the problem. Didn't want to mess with it and had to pay a bill. 2009 model w/Issue 20 board (no bias drift!) At first I thought I was overpaying for a...

    JCM2K DSL

    Bought this cheap from a guy who said it was whisper quiet even when the volumes were dimed. Brand new power tubes, unknown age of Mullards in the preamp. PT and OT was changed to Classic Tone Not a very good wiring job, but looks to be hooked up to the right spots per schems and Marshall...

    I feel dirty for buying this, but...

    Couldn't pass it up for $315 at GC. Presence and Master Volume pots were wonky, but DeOxit cleaned up most of the issues pretty quick. I've seen a few bands use them live and have been impressed with how they sound especially for heavier tones. Mostly got this to compliment my son's Spider...

    NAD - FB score

    Intentionally didn't mention I picked up a Line 6 amp in the title just to clickbait you guys :p But anyway. Spider Valve 2x12 combo for $50. Seller listed as non-working - powers up but no sound. After chatting with him he thought maybe a fuse blew, or maybe a bad tube, but didn't care to get...

    Metallica/Pantera Nov 3rd St Louis - anybody going?

    Just bought tickets this morning for an absurd amount :sick: , but it's mostly for my 11 y/o son who will be thrilled. Wife and I have never seen Metallica or Pantera (or Zakk) live, so I figure may as well do it so we can check it off the list. Thought I'd see if any R/T folk are going.

    Mk18 thread

    My wanna-be entries to the club. Started out with cheap parts to barely pass the 10ft test, but I'm slowly getting the real stuff on these guys. Mod 0 <------->Mod 1 . More GWOT insprired pr0nz

    Riveted PCB - Peavey Ultra Plus

    Picked up an Ultra Plus for an absurd prce of FREE yesterday :p, but it does not have sound (was forwarned prior to receiving it). Upon brief inspection inside the amp, looks like a power tube arced on the socket. I can remove the impedance and pre-out boards, but the power tube board looks...

    NAD - Unreal CL score

    I really haven't browsed my local Craigslist for a few years, but every now and then I'll hop on and see the same ol' listings. Today found an ad for a Peavey Ultra Plus. Hardly ever see those around anymore. Then I noticed the ad stated FREE. Quickly emailed the guy and asked where he wanted...

    My son started guitar 6 months ago. Metallica content inside

    His progress in 6 months is about equal to my first 3 years lol. He learned a good portion of the song on his own, but we got the harmony part nailed down in about 10 minutes. Anyway, proud dad moment for me.

    Victory RK50

    Never had a chance to check these out until I saw one last weekend used at GC for $1k. Quite impressed with the tone considering the minimal control layout. These are super punchy and thick sounding! Had a lot more gain that I thought it would have to be honest. Had my kid jam on it through a...

    If you could only save 1 piece of gear . . .

    Hypothetical question. Let's say god forbid your house catches fire. You get all your family out safe, all the pets, all good. You have just enough time to go back in the house to grab one piece of gear before it all burns up and the house comes crashing down. What do you take?

    Soldering EMG pickups

    I have an 81/85 set with no solderless wiring kit. I installed them in my son's Jackson V according to the attached diagram. Issue I'm having is after playing the guitar, set it down, then come back and hour or so later the volume cuts out when rolled past roughly halfway on the guitar. First...

    Bogner Ecstasy 3534

    I am reluctant to post this up for sale, but the only reason is to move into a 101b. JJ EL34 tubes, "China" labeled 12ax7s. I added white knobs to up the aesthetics. Comes with footswitch. Works exactly like it should. Sounds like a stripped down XTC with a more gnarly Red channel. Really is a...

    FX loop placement

    Just curious here.... Both of my non Marshall 2204's had a passive loop placed between Master wiper and PI input, but I 86'd them and added zero loss FX loops (with no return level control) between Treble wiper and Master Vol input as recommended on both. Both work well and have no complaints...

    What's in your humidor?

    What cigars and pipe tobacco are you folks into? My humidor is pretty sad looking so no pics from me :ROFLMAO: Last few years I've been heavy into RomaCraft Cromags and Micallef Leyenda #2. Used to love Liga #9, but they haven't been consistent with me for the last 4-5 years or so. Pipe...

    Anyone use a Mojo effects loop?

    Since I've already used Metro and Ceriatone loops in other amps I've modded, I decided to give the Mojotone one a try. Prior to purchasing I did look for some reviews on Google, and found quite a few that were negative - mostly regarding how distorted it made the signal. Decided to go for it...

    FX loop install woes...

    Ordered a zero loss loop kit from Ceriatone to install on my 2204 (Ceriatone built). Apparently similar to the older Metro loops. Seems like an easy install, but I'm not getting sound. Loop installed from treble wiper to Master input. Tapped power to the main board from the PI, and used a...
