If it's anything like the TC preamp, just leaving everything at noon already tightens he tone. At least it does when I use mine with my rev G dual recto or recto preamp. Then just a bit less bass (not zero) and a bit more volume and BLAMMO ! It does work very well with the recto. It also works...

It happened to me once years ago to get burned out of $300 because I did F&F (never again). I tried to chargeback with the credit card but after that Paypal immediateley contacted me and threatened to ban me for life if I tried to chargeback a F&F payment. I choose to keep Paypal because of...

Sounds exactly like my 90s rev G dual recto. Guy is dialing in a little too much gain for my taste and I think that's why it sounds a little messy.

Both my '83 2203 have around 480V on the plate so I'm not sure it could have been much higher before.

You have my attention. I don't have the Legendary Tones HotMod but I do have the original Soldano HotMod. It sounds great. Bit noisy though. I like Caswell, have the Soldano/Caswell X99. His modded Minimoogs are great too. Everything he does is interesting in one way or another. Please review...

Maybe already posted but it's worth re-posting anyway. Now that's a proper death-metal performance :

Nice and properly articulated analysis. I'll add: no matter how musically relevant or cringeworthy he is or not, he's definitely one the greatest borefest in the known universe. His impressive command of the instrument is about as impressive as the Millenium Falcon entirely made out of matchsticks.

Nice chuggy death-metal style palm-mutes, great tone ! See, it's obvious the SLO is much too loose and flubby in the low-end to play any kind of metal..... NOT. LOL

My two preferred amps are the SLO and the 2203. Although clearly different, they do have some similarities that may appeal to a distinct category of guitar player. The dynamic, the impact, the raw power etc. The Marshall has more kerrang and air, the SLO is smoother yet pummeling. Still they are...

You'll never know until you try one yourself. I smile when I read that OG 5150 is a much better amp than the SLO. It's obviously a matter of taste. What's stopping you from buying one and sell it if you don't like it ? It's the only way to know, really. I know I love my SLO. I'm trying new amps...

Hum is often a technical problem, either ground loop or local EMF radiation, badly grounded guitar/amp/wall plug, faulty preamp/power amp tube, badly balanced/biased power amp, too old/leaky capacitors, cold solder joints etc. I recently recapped a Marshall 9200 power amp that gave low-level hum...

Saw Soulfly at the Dynamo Festival in '98 an Sepultura several times before that !!! Fuckin' brewtal ! Max is a beast. What an awesome musical decade the 90s were ! Today feels like a severe musical drought comparatively...

Where do you live ? There are still stores with huge inventories in some places. I went on a trip to Cali two years ago and tried dozens of guitars in different stores between Los Angeles and San Francisco until I found something I liked. It may be worth spending a few days over there with a...

I have an older 90s purple slant cab with X12000 speakers. So different form you straight cab. But the Eminence Legend are in the same ballpark as the X12000 tonally. They sound smoother and flatter than V30, which are more piercing and agressive high-mids. Still, they do work very well with the...

Neil Young - Old Man JH - All Along The Watchtower (and several others...) Pride And Glory - Machine Gun Man The Police - Walking On The Moon Level 42 - Children Say Aimee Mann - Calling It Quits Ozzy - Crazy Babies Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

LOL no.

Ditto ! Still love current Zakk too but he's not getting any younger. It's quite quite normal he repeats himself after almost 40 years of career.

Because he's old now like the rest of us LOL

That's a very good description of his style ! His solos are not rehearsed nor composed, he just jumps in the cold water, improvises and does it in one take every time, just like jazzmen, but with a rock feel. I really like it. He explains it in the video quoted above. Third one, "Stain", is...

Hard to beat the dual 2203 full-stack attack ! :rock:
