    Mesa Quad vs IV

    I use the send as the output, much less compressed sound. I also have found the Boogie 50/50 is the best power amp, beating the simul-stereo 295 and Boogie 400 power amps IMO. Ultimate Boogie by John Bazzano, on Flickr 9/13/2021 by John Bazzano, on Flickr

    Post the monent Face Really/Acne Freckley decided he didn't need to pracite any more.

    Yeah, that's what I thought also. I was into Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc., so when the Kiss Klowns showed up, I died laughing, it sounded like music for 7 year olds.

    Mezzabarba

    This is how I felt about the M-Zero O.D. Ch.1 was a great rock tone but ch.2 muddied up after 1 o'clock on the gain knob. The cabinet was great with the greenbacks. Rig by John Bazzano, on Flickr

    New Testament

    I like this type of music the best. Alex is always going to play great leads and Eric is the real deal rhythm wrist. I remember these guys coming out with such great music 40 years ago in Legacy. "Practice What You Preach" was a game changer for metal sound. It was so awesome people would go...

    How much would you spend on a guitar...

    Play it out live. I still bring my O.G. C+ with me, as if anyone cares that watches, they just compliment the tone and say, "Boogie? Never heard of it!, Sounds great though".

    How much would you spend on a guitar...

    $25,000.00 for the right pre-CBS Stratocaster. $3,500.00 for everything else. I paid $1,800.00 for my Jackson RR in 1988 which is about $5000.00 in today's money. I still have that guitar and play it regularly. Recently I paid $2500.00 for a Knaggs and I play that 90% of the time. I bought a...

    Raw Cabs will make one fairly inexpensively. Here - https://www.ebay.com/str/pineguitarspeakercabinetbuilder?_trksid=p4624852.m570.l113337

    Looking for the right amp…help

    I won't be much help here but I'll chime in with my 2 cents anyway. In November last year, I bought an O.C. 1983 Boogie Mark2C+ DRG that I sent back to Mike B. to have him fix it up with the switchable ++ mod. After it came back, that's alI I play so decided to sell my Mark V35. Well I played...

    Eras of Marshall Vintage Cabs?

    I'd stay away from the G12-70 speaker cabinets. Do not trust the wattage on the amp plate, they don't always line up with the speaker wattage.

    Bass Player didn't show- *now with video*

    I texted the guy who hired us and he said he thinks so. He said he'd get back to me.

    Bass Player didn't show- *now with video*

    No one complained and we received many compliments. We did some Metallica. The gig was in a field and we mic'd the drums! I played the mandatory bass parts when needed but my sound was so full, I am actually considering doing more shows without the bassist because we can play more songs that...

    Bass Player didn't show- *now with video*

    The bassist couldn't make it to the gig at a large local campground, and our back-up had a gig of his own. I informed the people and they said that they didn't care, so we did the show and,... after the first song, the crowd went wild cheering and clapping! We played the same set list we had...
