Just wondering if the Variplex is the precursor to the Small Box. I know the Variplex comes with the Variac but seems very similar otherwise. I made this video a few years ago...does it sound similar? Listening back I find it had a nice grind to it...totally dry...no effects.

Heres a rough mix of a first song to an album that me and my keyboard player are doing. Only thing left to do is the crazy trade off solos between keys and guitar...shred fest...and me to double the last keyboard solo a third down. What would you classify this type of song? I'll get up a...
My 50 watt plexi build with Merren transformers just came in the mail from being modded by Fortin with his Jose mod. Quick plugin and all I have to say is fucking wow!!!! :rock: Why didn't I do this before???? I had a shitload of amps and this is fucking insane...its the sound I always wanted...
Not just here but a lot of places. Its pretty bad when you have to take such a hit to try to sell something thats worth much more and even then you have a hard time selling it. I have a guitar easily worth 5K in the classifieds...a couple of lowballers and thats it. Just checked Ebay...3 guitars...
As I mentioned a while back I sent my 50 watt small box plexi build to Fortin to do his magic with the High/low gain Jose mod with a loop. Its on it way!!! Cant wait to plug it in and hear the KEERANG!!!! :rock:

I have a 68 50 watt plexi build lying around here...just talked to Mike and want to send it off for him to do his Jose on it with a foot switchable loop and external bias and test points. Anyone get this done?? Thoughts?
Listened to the clips on his site...gain mod and Kali seem too gainy for...
I imagine its out of the circuit if you dime it....dont like the effect it has on the tone...becomes hollow/softer sounding when its lower. Thoughts???
As I mentioned in my Steve Vai post...its guitar festival time here and Frank Gambale is next for me tomorrow night...dont know if he is well known here but he is another monster player. Has the canadian jazz band Uzeb to back him up...only canadians might know what I'm talking about...anyways...
Just got back home from seeing Steve Vai...guitar festival time here once again and he opened with the first show. Kinda cool because its his first show starting his new tour...hes off to Europe tomorrow. 25th Anniversary of Passion and Warfare and we were treated to a few songs of that album...
Its been a few weeks now and it still surprises me all the time. Extended lows and highs...so clear...tight...way more than enough gain...changes character with minor tweaks...my settings today. :D
Well I'm at home bored and off work with a herniated disc in my neck so I'm all pilled up and trying to do a clip with my cell phone lol so you've been warned. ;)
This is straight in the lead channel dry with the gain on 6...master on 2....then I pull the lead boost for the ascending...
