    Vox Valvetronix VT20/VT40 for practice amp? How heavy?

    Hey guys, just looking to up a small practice amp for cheap. How well does the Vox VT20 or VT40 do stuff like Iron Maiden, Opeth, Megadeth, etc? I'm sure it can do those tones, but how good does it sound for that? I always thought of Vox stuff as more geared towards rock and not metal. I'm...

    Does LordOvChaos still mod pedals? Bodenhamer Electronics?

    I'm sure some of you guys remember LordOvChaos. I used to own an OD808 that he modded and it sounded WAY better than stock. Does he still post on here or do mods? :confused: https://www.myspace.com/bodenhamerelectronics

    NGD: Ibanez RG350MP (maple fretboard)

    Haven't posted about any new gear in months...mainly because I haven't actually owned a guitar since around November. I finally decided to buy one last week and this RG350 was basically exactly what I wanted. It's an extremely nice guitar for $430 new. Looks and feels really solid. Sounds pretty...

    Single coil to go with JB/Jazz in the middle?

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying an Ibanez RG350MP and replacing the stock pickups. I know I'd want a JB and Jazz in the bridge and neck, but not really sure about the middle. I would want another Duncan pickup. I really just want the output and tone to match the JB and Jazz. What would you...

    New Underrated Guitar Day: Washburn X50PROQ

    Saw this one last week on Music Go Round and decided to make an impulse purchase. I never hear anything about these guitars for whatever reason. It just looked great, had great specs and was really cheap, $350 shipped, so I figured why not. Dunno why these aren't as popular as LTD's or...

    This Ibanez looks amazing

    http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/S5EX1 Usually not a fan of Ibanez stuff, but I saw this one posted on another forum and it looks great. Apparently it's exclusive to Guitar Center, but I can't find any info about it. Wonder how much they are and if the tops really look that nice in person? :confused:

    Peter Wichers playing Diezel Amps?

    I just saw this video and I couldn't believe it. I'm pretty sure both guitarists are using Deizels here, but it's kind of hard to tell. So weird not seeing him with a 5150. Same with the ESP guitar too. He's been with Caparison for such a long time. Sounded really good though, even for a crappy...

    Dyed the fretboard on my MH-301 and made some other changes

    So I got this guitar for $250 a couple weeks back. Really nice for what I paid, and it came with a set of JB/59 pickups already installed. I've had a bottle of Fiebings Leather Dye laying around for a while, so I finally decided to put it to use. This is the second time I've dyed a fretboard...

    Melodic rock bands similar to Harem Scarem?

    I don't know many bands like these guys, but I'm sure there are some other good ones out there? Pete Lesperance is the most melodic guitar player I've ever heard. I can't believe stuff like this never got a lot of mainstream attention. The songs are so catchy, great vocals, and Pete's guitar...

    Stunning Caparison Horus with flamed maple top

    https://cgi.ebay.com/New-Caparison-Horus ... 27b2efbb91 :shocked: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: One of the most gorgeous guitars I've ever seen. Love that they finally started making some guitars that have the classy Suhr/Anderson kind of look.

    Bands that play in Drop A#?

    I can't really think of any off the top of my head other than In Flames on their newer albums. I'm sure there's a bunch more though...

    New Soilwork song

    https://www.myspace.com/soilwork Two Lives Worth Of Reckoning is the song. I think it sounds great. Only thing I don't like is that new guitarist's first solo. It's so easy to tell that isn't Peter or Ola, his style is so different. The solo isn't bad, but I dunno, just weird hearing a solo...
