This is cool as hell, man. Takes me on a ride. I got an Alan Parsons vibe, into a Judas Priest vibe, then into a neoclassical adventure. :rock: I got asked to join a hardcore band so I've been writing some material but it's completely out of my wheelhouse. I've been told to dumb down my...

I've got an ENGL E670 Special Edition. It has more features than I'll ever use. Midi is practically plug and play, worked instantly with an old peavey footswitch from the 80s. Worked fine with my Quad Cortex when I clicked 2 settings. This thing fucks. Hard. More gain than I deserve. More...

I got one in 2022 and the other in 2023. I forgot I also had a headless when they released them in 2020ish and a light blue one I traded for in 2019ish. The thing I like about them is that they need minimal adjustments. I work on guitars for a living and the last thing I want to do is work on my...

I think it has more to do with Dave going through throat cancer. His voice hasn't been quite the same since. Who knows how much of a struggle touring is for him physically. I'm a big Megadeth fan, it's sad to see them go, but I'm glad he's going out respectfully. He could cling on like some of...

I ordered two Aristides 060s built exactly how I'd want, first one was $3200+/-, second was $4200+/- after import fees. Such a small price for me to pay because I will have them with me until I die. I never have to worry about fret sprout, fretboard cracking, body cracking, leveling the frets...

Looking to pick up one or a few cabs. I keep selling my cool cabs and regretting it. Here we are in the regret arc of my story. I'm in Basking Ridge NJ, willing to drive a decent distance. I have friends all over so I can make a trip to pick up a cab and hang with buddies. WANTED: ORANGE...

I had an Orange PPC412 that sounded absolutely massive. Sold it like an idiot because I wondered "What else is out there". Now I wonder who I sold it to so I can buy it back. ☠️

I will be buried with this guitar

I used the ESP Trem Stabilizer, now the double version.. Which is the same as the Axlabs one. Along with something like the Schaller Sureclaw, you've got an absolute machine that won't disappoint. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JCB8857

One of my Mode Four 412's came with all 4 Celestion V30MF's, they're killer. All the V30 bark, no ice picky bite. The other Mode Four 412 came loaded with Chinese V30s, someone yanked the originals :( - The Chinese ones are noticeably brighter, way harder on the ears even for V30s.

People get worked up over the name, but as long as it's good plywood and good speakers, it'll sound great. I picked up some Marshall Mode Four cabs cheap because people think they're junk since they came with the solid state Marshall. Curious if you've got UK or Chinese V30s in there? I've been...

What's wrong with a cocksucking jaw?

I'm obliged to post this in every Cameron thread I see so anyone reading in the future will see: Do not give your money to Mark Cameron. Do not send your amps to Mark Cameron. We've been here multiple times. You may get lucky and get an amp. You most likely will get ripped off and won't receive...

I've run both WDW and WW rigs a lot. I don't have a lot of this stuff now, but now I ran it in the past is.. WDW: AMP --> 8 Ohm Out --> Cab 1 \--> Send -->Lexicon MPX1 In/Out Left -->Mesa 20/20 Input A -->8 Ohm Out -->Cab 2 Left ..Lexicon MPX1 In/Out Right--> Mesa 20/20 Input B -->8...

Bad hyperbole. He could have said "Using plastic nuts and cheap pot metal for bridges and tuners." Saying rubber for guitar parts is like saying, "If you put kool-aid in your car's gas tank, your engine will run bad." It's not even something that's in the equation.
