most Diezels, esp. Hagen and VH4 and the most of the 3-4 channel multi machines no matter what brand... EVH 50W, Marshall JVM, Jubilees , Engl Invader, JSX. Those amp has very flat and generic sounding midrange and I just hate to play them.

I looks like Grace Bowels steals Your boyfriend ... sorry to hear that :)

For the heavier styles 498T works better, '57 Classic are little bit mid-heavy an weak. I got 2013 SG yesterday and there is Angus Young pickup and it works great, more bite than '57 and more clarity than 498T. Also Burstbucker 2 work in SG, little bit more push than usual PAF pickup.

You should ask before order... lol. Painkiller is suited for lower tuning because it doesn't have too much bottom end and treble are on the brighter spectrum. It is little cleaner but thinner sounding than SH-6. Also depends hot much bass has Your Eclipse. Buddy of mine has non FT one and it is...

Sounds like some of the speaker is out of phase. Try 9V battery test or check wiring again.

muddy and harsh at the same time, weird mids, personally don't understand the apeal of Jubilees. Old 2554 is good because Drake trannies and without diode clipping it is very JCM800-ish. 2555X are very cheap in EU but still I will choose cheaper DSL or JCM900.

The price analysis are quite a funny, especially here on Rig-talk, where biggest hits are modded Marshall clones for 5000$ or 10k boogies :) I had a Sky king from Bartel era and it is an excellent amp. Very spacey, deep clean sound, fantastic reverb and tremolo. Sounds big for a 1x12 combo...

Any lower RG will not feel the same as 450-500-700 series from Japan. It is about neck shape and finish and of course Edge trem. Wizard II or III has weird shapes and they are too glossy/sticky or raw/unfinished.

BKP Holy diver it is. Less mud and less typical upper mid mess which is JB known for. Works great for hotroded strats. I have BKP Rebel Yell in Charvel and it is 80's rock/metal machine.

PAF pickups...usually 7.5 - 8.5 kohm, Alnico 2 or 5, 42 AWG plain enamel wire...burstbuckers, custombuckers etc

No experience with Pepetual burn but the spec are in hotter PAF territory. Something like DM Norton, versatile, even, 'works in most guitars' type of pickup. BKP RY has bigger output, very specific midrange clarity of lower output PAF pickups and works better in darker/bass heavier guitars. I...

Helios, V30+GB is very versatile combination. The cab itself is perfect mix of tightness and woodier sound of old Marshall cab. Best cab on market.

bore-core. Genderless elevator music 😀

Noise gates in Fractal devices. They are quick, precise, works in 4cm and You have 4 settings in one presets...hard to beat. And in case of FX8, You have absolutely zero signal alternation.

I had quad of those in old Engl cab, 8 ohm, T4139. Best V30 version without any doubt. Check out if there is any printing on the magnet.

Playability goes to R9, perfect neck profile, action, weight and sustain. Heritage 80 has similar profile but bigger frets, sound more vintage, fuller lows and doesn't resonate as much but has really unique voicing. Classic has very thin neck profile, medium jumbo frets and plays effortlessly...

Hi guys, I have opportunity to buy nice Gibson R9 Reissue '23. Before I make my mind I compare it to my current LPs, Gibson LP 1980 Heritage80 and 1996 Custom shop Classic All mahagony. H80 is heavy 10,0 lbs with Throbaks MC102-B (A4, 9,4 kohm bridge ) R9 is very lightweight 8,0 lbs with...

Customs are very different feeling and sounding guitars than R9. Thinner, more D schaped neck, more glossy finish, usually heavier, Nashville bridge with bushing, 9-hole relief. Different enough to own both 😀 There are prehistoric/90s Reissues era, a lot of killer tops. 04-12 era and the latest...

Exactly. Really don't understand the apeal excluded size factor. The 'plastic' thing is real, it has no depth compared to big 5150/6505, crunch sounds are mediocre at best and the feel is very stiff. After all these glowing review I ran to the shop as soon as they was stock and it was quite a...

I had MKII, amazing amp, massive iron for 50W amp, flawless loop. When boosted, it is a beast. Here is some Slayer. boosted MKII and old Soldano V30 cab.
