I've got a new 80s hard rock & hair metal project we're learning 40 songs for including some pretty challenging stuff. I have to say though, the hardest riff I'm learning for this show is Cult of Personality. Where he does the full main riff twice back to back is a real motherfucker for me to...

I used my OD-1X. It's my favorite non-botique boost.

Following up for posterity I tried the boost in the loop and it didn't work for me. So, the GEQ CUT is my way forward. Thanks guys.

Bumpalicious.

I'm going to try it tonight with a boost in the loop just for comparison. Mine is switchable C+ / C++ and the rhythm channel on C++ mode is phenomenal for rock gain. ...and with the right speakers, also killer with the GEQ off. For live work, I don't seem to have the same issues that other...

The amps I'm using are a Mark IIB KRG and a Mark IIC+ KRG. So far the only way I've been able to get a sufficient lead volume bump is with the IIC+ to set the GEQ to Auto, run the rhythm channel as rhythm with no GEQ, then run the lead channel for leads with the GEQ on and bump the mids way up...

Man, that was the ticket! I owe you a beer!! Thanks. (y)

Struggling with this one, which seems silly. Say you have a 1 channel high gain amp and you need to get a healthy volume bump for lead playing in a live band. How are you doing it? Things that I've tried that don't work for me- boost pedal, no volume bump. Wah- no volume bump, just an EQ shift...

John Browne and Glenn's findings are spot on with my own, having reamped tons of Mesa V30s from different years. I'm excited about the new ones.

Tap!

TTT

So looking past all the bitchjng about amps no one here has actually played and online personas that no one is putting themselves out there to try and do better… Say this Jose and the 1959 Modified are roughly the same price. Which one is likely to be better quality in terms of components and...

I've been on the hunt for a good 2203, but this may tempt me into holding out...

I'd agree with all these things. For rhythm tones I'd take any Coli over any 4 tube Mark. (...though the OG C+ is still hard to beat for lead tones.)

Not too side track too much, but so far in this group I've tried a Triple Rec, IIB+, IIC+, JCM2000 and this SLO30 paired up against the other guitarists's 2205 w/ T75 cab. No ego, I just want to find the best space for both of us to operate in. The group's consensus is that the best one by far...
