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

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

I am curious what cab/speakers you were using?

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.

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.

I got a 5751 in the V1 and V2 of my Soldano HR25, still plenty of fire power!!!!

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...

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.

Scared to read this whole thread
