The Akira Takasaki demo of the BE-100 sounded plenty bitey to me, but he had the mids and treble dimed, and most people probably don't do that.

99/100 times I would rather roll a crunch down to a clean on my guitar volume knob. The 1 time out of 100 I want uber Queensryche clean, and I don't want that basically ever. It is meaningless in the context of how I've participated in every band I've been a part of.

I thought it just clips on? As in the wire, there is a little alligator clip to hold onto something.

I really like Doug's playing, but it feels like he almost has become a caricature of himself. I mean that with all the respect in the world. He seems like a nice guy, as long as you don't be a Chippy. I like his work with others, Hurricane, Lion, Bad Moon Rising, Dio, etc. His solo on the House...

100% We had a little tone fest yesterday and its always cool to hear a guitar be passed around to a few people plugged into the same rig/same settings and hear how different the sound is. We had cabs with different speakers point in opposite directions so you could walk to one side of the room...

If you think you're willing to go for the thing, I'd go in and crank the amp to whatever volume you like. For something that expensive if the shops want to make sales they have to be willing to let customers check the gear out. It wouldn't hurt to let them know, if they are unwilling then you...

I know exactly what you mean, because I have done a similar thing recently. Now that I'm in a position where I could afford any of the amps I've lusted after (Not necessarily all at once or anything), and it realistically came time for the rubber to meet the road, that's when I had to look at...

Sounds great! I enjoy your videos, always great sounds and great playing

That’s great! I don’t mean to necessarily imply that they are unreliable, rather that should something happen, there is generally so much going on in a Mesa that troubleshooting can be daunting.

Mesa Amps seem like a timebomb of shit to go bad. I’ve had a handful, but fortunately they aren’t the amps that are behind the sounds I gravitate to, so I’ve been moving them down the line after a short time.

Hardline - Double Eclipse Winger - Pull Harem Scarem - Mood Swings Bang Tango - Dancin' on Coals Slaughter - Stick it To Ya, The Wild Life (both great records) Vince Neil - Exposed Enuff Z'Nuff - Strength Tyketto - Don't Come Easy Saigon Kick is great, but I wouldn't call them a "hair band"...

You only think you need two channels

I just have a hard time with "what else am I getting for 5k vs like $2500" Most of the guitars of my heroes were pretty much beaters. So I don't need some fancy shit. Jus give me a good plank with some good hardware and good pickups, away we go.

My perfect sound is similar to Demartini’s sound on Detonator, and I’ve got it.

I wish the Glide series didn’t have painted necks, but otherwise they seem super cool. Nice score!
