I have a Jake on the way and will be running it through a Friedman 212 with V30s. I was wondering if the amp was voiced around any particular speaker? I know that the Jake is supposed to be voiced fairly aggressively, so I am concerned that it may be a bit "barky" with the V30s. Perhaps Cream...

I purchased this one new earlier this year. The guitar plays great and gets and amazing range of tones. This one has the quilt top upgrade with matching headstock. The neck has nice amount of flamed figuring. It is in excellent shape with no dings. $1,650 shipped and PayPal'd. I have done a few...

I am contemplating picking up a used VH4. Ideally, I would get a Diezel cab, but due to space constraints, I am considering going with the Mesa 212 Recto. I was curious if anyone here is running that particular combo? I have found the Recto 212 can be a bit boomy with some amps, yet it seems...

Scored a nice used Cheetah. Has a couple of Rebel Yells and a D-Tuna. Slapped on a set of 9s and it plays and sounds great. It is a bit portly at 10 pounds, but the design distributes the weight well. A quick pic:

I have a Shiva 20th head inbound, and I am considering my cabinet options. The current plan is to run it through my Recto 2x12, but I am also considering picking up the Shiva 1x12 cab with the CL 80. I'd appreciate any perspective from those that may have run their Shiva through the Shiva 1x12.

Got this one brand new in the box about a week or so ago. Played great, but after a tweak of the truss rod it absolutely rips. I am digging the Custom 5 and 59 pickup combo. The workmanship is excellent!

I am thinking about down sizing my rig as I am moving into a smaller space. I am considering replacing my SS 412 (4 V30s) with a SS 2x12. I had a few questions. 1. What is the approximate lead time? 2. Would it be possible to go with one V30 and one Cream Back? 3. Are casters an option...

Big Steve Stevens fan, and I gotta say the guy has good taste in gear. The Knaggs is a work of art and plays unbelievably well. Big neck on this one. The amp kills too! Great crunchy tones and a fat lead sound. Props to Tony at GC Platinum Nashville for great service on the amp and Rebel...

I received my Helios a week ago. It actually arrived on my birthday. After having it for a week, I have to say it sounds great! I am running it through a Diezel rear loaded 2x12 with V30s. Very pleased with the sounds I am getting. This amp can cover a lot of ground, and I can see this amp...

Was intending to buy a guitar, but had a credit on account for a consignment piece, and then this one walks in. It is a smoking guitar. Very focused lead tone.

A few months ago I picked up a new Diezel 2x12 rear loaded cabinet with two vintage 30s to pair up with my Herbert head. When I ordered the cabinet, the dealer's site listed it as an 8-ohm cab, so when I received I just plugged into my amps 8-ohm jack and let it rip. The other day I decided to...

I just unboxed this sucker. Initial impressions are favorable. Tone report to follow after I have had more time with it.

The Herbie arrived on Saturday, but my doorman forgot to let me know, so I didn't get it until this Monday which was a bit of a pisser. However, all is good now. First impressions are very positive. Very warm sounding amp. I previously had a Hagen and loved that. Looking forward to spending...
