I've been looking around at some different JCM800's and I'm a little confused to say the least at what the differences are. I've been looking at a 1984 JCM800 50 watt. What differences would it have from other JCM800's? Thanks.

I currently own the Dual Rectifier Solo head, and love the red and orange channels, however I'm not sure if the clean channel is really doing it for me. I've been thinking about switch over to a Roadster. When I played one I really liked it, and the clean channel was perfect for my style. I...

I'm looking to get a jazz guitar soon for my dad for fathers day and I like to research well before I get presents for people. He isn't a serious player by any means but I would like it to be decent and to last. He wouldn't be able to tell anyways after a certain point of quality. I can't go...

I'm looking for something that is pretty warm but still shimmers, I'm not into overly bright or twangy cleans. However I don't want it overly fat, or sterile (I did NOT like the JC 120). Reverb would be a big plus. I'd also be using this to put some pedals through. My budget isn't to go over...

Why'd I bother asking this question at HCAF :doh: Anyways, I found a wicked deal on a VHT 2/90/2 and I need to know what tube types it can take. Can it take tubes besides kt88/6550 type such as el34 or 6l6 type? Thanks

Pretty much what the title says. I know about redplating, but if you see some blue in the tubes is that ok? What are things you should look out for? Thanks

I ordered a Carvin 727 and I have to say its one of the best guitars I have played (yes I have played Music Man's, PRS, Gibson and Parker). To be honest, I was ready to return it just in case because of the way some people had trash talked Carvin. I got it as Translucent Purple, Blackburst...

I'm looking for a solid, reasonably priced preamp tube tester for 12ax7 and 12at7 tube types. Anybody know of some good ones and where I can get them? Not looking to spend a ridiculous amount either.

I wrote this up for a different post, but I figured this would be valuable to some people. Options from BKP (all ceramic) that I have personally tried/owned/tested on different hi gain amps (Titan, Dual Rectifier, Sig X, Roadster, Invader, Savage, Powerball, Fireball, Herbert, E530, Blackstar)...

Has anyone heard of Prototypes amplifier repair? If so, are they good. I went to Pro Tech last time and they fucked up 2 of my amps, lost my records and then charged me 200 dollars for changing tubes... I need somebody who can do a GOOD repair a Mesa Boogie Dual Recitifer and not overcharge...

I'm so sick of dealing with these tuning/buzz/playing problems on sub-par guitars. I'm looking for a good HIGH gain, HIGH QUALITY guitar, pickup straight to volume pot thats it. I'm willing to spend up to about 1500. I need your guys help. I want some EDUCATED advice about some guitars out...
