[Skip the first few paragraphs if you want to get straight to the point.] I've been gassing for a strat lately, and since I've both started working more and given up an expensive habbit of mine (in place of an even more expensive habit; gear.) I thought I'd save up and buy a guitar. I have a...

Looking to buy a reverb soon. It needs to work in the loop of my Jet City first of all. I know the HoF and HG will work. The Holy Grail sounds really lush and organic, but seems to lack versatility. I really like my TC Flashback so I'm tempted to just go for the HoF, seeing as it's the same...

It's my 18th Birthday in two weeks and for a gift I'm asking for money to improve my pedalboard/rig since I'm now playing with a band reguarly and would like to expand my tonal possibilities. I'm looking at a Delay, a reverb and possibly another delay. I like the idea of having a digital delay...

Hey guys. I've got my Rockschool Grade 8 exam in electric guitar tomorow morning and I need help on two small things in the technical exercises. I have to play two chord sequences in varying keys, these are. These need to be pepared in keys G-B (example in G Major) Am7#5 - D7b5 - D7#5...

I've decided to build a clone of a Soldano soundman eliminator (Or any other passive attnuator) Since it's such a simple build, I'm reluctant to pay £25 for a kit, I'd like to see if I could get it cheaper, I may make a 4 or 5 way true bypass looper, the cheap ones cost £80-120, so building...

I've been wondering if different types of valve, because of their power rating, bias etc last longer than eachother, specifically if big bottle valves Such as the KT-66,77,88,100, etc last longer than say 6L6s or EL34?

Since all of my guitars are metal guitars, plus an Epiphone Les Paul Studio, and only two of them get any use, I was thinking about selling all of the ones I don't use and getting an all-in-one guitar, in another thread, someone mentioned Charvels or HSS strats being good for that, and I really...

Despite my entire pedalboard (tuner, SD-1, EQ, NS-2) being BOSS, I'm not a fan of most of their line of pedals, I've always found an alternative that I'd prefer or just don't fancy them much. But some of the discontinued Boss pedals are really interesting, as I'm playing in a prog/psychedelic...

I decided to try and fiddle with the preamp valves in this amp to try and get a little bit of a better sound, it does sound awesome though. I replaced the V1 slot with a Marshall 12ax7. The ones in the preamp were labelled 12AX7-B, I don't understand the significance of the B part but I think...

So.. on friday I came out of my last exam of this year, Chemistry.. (yay!), spent three hours in the car driving to Guildford and back to pick up my Jet City JCA 100h. This thing sounds great, except I feel I may need a new cab soon, my Marshall 1936 just isn't as nice as the other cabs I've...

Well, four piece plus you. :D Guitar - Guthire Govan Bass - Victor Wooton Drums - Gavin Harrison Vocals - Phil Anselmo Go.

If you don't/haven't.. Do it. I know my recommendation won't mean much to everyone here but I played the cheapest amp out of the Cornford range and it sounded incredible, the EQ was really responsive, it was responsive to my playing, great tone, rich harmonics, great dynamics. If it weren't...

I'm buying a new amp tomorrow, the Jet City JCA100. I felt like the choice between the Blackstar and the Jet City was like a swiss army knife vs a katana, plus they have a pretty decent returns policy if I change my mind. I'm really thinking of putting some kt66s in, or modding for kt88s...

So, I've been roaming the internet trying to find info on amps, since I'm buying one probably on Saturday, if not next week. The Soldano/Jet City loops seem to get really mixed reviews, some peple loving them and some hating them. There seem to be two issues with the loops on these amps...

The Blackstar. I went to the shop yesterday and got to A/B the Blackstar HT-100 with the Jet City 100 watt. The cleans in the Blackstar are great, and although the 'base tone' of the Blackstar's OD channels aren't as authentic feeling as the Jet City, they still sound great and there's so much...

I've been looking at effects pedals to add some new tonal dimensions to clean sections, etc. Settled on the TC Flashback and the Electro Harmonix Worm has caught my eye, it's really cheap and has four mod functions, all analogue. Has anyone owned one or used one? What's it like? Clips sound...

Hey, I'm picking up a new amp tomorow, it's between a Blackstar Ht-100 and a Jet City JCA100h. But I'm clearing up questsions that I can't find much info on elsewhere. There's an additional jack for an extra footswitch on the HT-100, that apparently gives a mid boost and apparently gives a...

Jackson is taken I think, Torquil has a ring to it I guess. :lol: :LOL: Go.

Apologies for the number of threads. So, after setting my heart on the Jet City, I've read some reviews and the Blackstar scores better in a lot of them, for the same price, and it has better features. I'm worried I might be making the wong choice in going for the Jet City. It's great but I...

Let's just say.. my 5150 II is going on Ebay tomorow morning. it sounded HUGE. Great through the Jet City cab, I may have to buy the cab too if it doesn't sound fantastic through my Marshall 212. The shop has stopped dealing Jet City due to lack of interest (most people just want Marshall...
