    Most overrated amp ever... pick 1!

    most Diezels, esp. Hagen and VH4 and the most of the 3-4 channel multi machines no matter what brand... EVH 50W, Marshall JVM, Jubilees , Engl Invader, JSX. Those amp has very flat and generic sounding midrange and I just hate to play them.

    How are 57 Classic Pickups in an SG?

    For the heavier styles 498T works better, '57 Classic are little bit mid-heavy an weak. I got 2013 SG yesterday and there is Angus Young pickup and it works great, more bite than '57 and more clarity than 498T. Also Burstbucker 2 work in SG, little bit more push than usual PAF pickup.

    Is the Bare Knuckle Painkiller suitable for Standard E or Drop D?....

    You should ask before order... lol. Painkiller is suited for lower tuning because it doesn't have too much bottom end and treble are on the brighter spectrum. It is little cleaner but thinner sounding than SH-6. Also depends hot much bass has Your Eclipse. Buddy of mine has non FT one and it is...

    Sounds like some of the speaker is out of phase. Try 9V battery test or check wiring again.

    Talk me in to/out of a Jubilee 100

    muddy and harsh at the same time, weird mids, personally don't understand the apeal of Jubilees. Old 2554 is good because Drake trannies and without diode clipping it is very JCM800-ish. 2555X are very cheap in EU but still I will choose cheaper DSL or JCM900.

    Ever seen the inside of a Tone King Sky King?

    The price analysis are quite a funny, especially here on Rig-talk, where biggest hits are modded Marshall clones for 5000$ or 10k boogies :) I had a Sky king from Bartel era and it is an excellent amp. Very spacey, deep clean sound, fantastic reverb and tremolo. Sounds big for a 1x12 combo...

    cheap rg550 alternative?

    Any lower RG will not feel the same as 450-500-700 series from Japan. It is about neck shape and finish and of course Edge trem. Wizard II or III has weird shapes and they are too glossy/sticky or raw/unfinished.

    New pickups, good or bad?

    BKP Holy diver it is. Less mud and less typical upper mid mess which is JB known for. Works great for hotroded strats. I have BKP Rebel Yell in Charvel and it is 80's rock/metal machine.

    Duncan Perpetual Burn vs bare knuckle Rebel Yell

    PAF pickups...usually 7.5 - 8.5 kohm, Alnico 2 or 5, 42 AWG plain enamel wire...burstbuckers, custombuckers etc

    Duncan Perpetual Burn vs bare knuckle Rebel Yell

    No experience with Pepetual burn but the spec are in hotter PAF territory. Something like DM Norton, versatile, even, 'works in most guitars' type of pickup. BKP RY has bigger output, very specific midrange clarity of lower output PAF pickups and works better in darker/bass heavier guitars. I...

    Bogner 4x12 cab question

    Helios, V30+GB is very versatile combination. The cab itself is perfect mix of tightness and woodier sound of old Marshall cab. Best cab on market.

    Gate-Talk

    Noise gates in Fractal devices. They are quick, precise, works in 4cm and You have 4 settings in one presets...hard to beat. And in case of FX8, You have absolutely zero signal alternation.

    Black chassis vintage 30s

    I had quad of those in old Engl cab, 8 ohm, T4139. Best V30 version without any doubt. Check out if there is any printing on the magnet.
