    Tempting Trade offered to me... What say you?

    I've gotten rid of far too many sadly. I will miss my Ultra Lead forever. I try not to get rid of any gear anymore. Usually just trade when it's a trade up. Honestly I have $250 realistically in the Roadster. It all started with a block letter I found that they thought was broke and ended up...

    Tempting Trade offered to me... What say you?

    Sounds like I'm keeping the Mesa 🤣 Damn that's a lot of responses but that's why I always turn here. I do boost the Mesa currently. May try stacking boosts to see what it does. Had good success with that on my JCM800. Really made that thing super tight. As soon as people started comparing to...

    Tempting Trade offered to me... What say you?

    Recently I picked up a Mesa Roadster head, an amp I have wanted since they first came out. Just didn't have adult money like I do now back then and they became a little difficult to track down over the past few years. I absolutely love this thing. It sounds (to me) dramatically different than...

    NAD: Mesa Dual Rec Roadster.... Tube Suggestions fellow Roadster/Dual Rec owners?

    To be honest I think the difference between each channel is what I like about it the most. I have an extremely diverse musical pallet. I play mainly drop tuned 7 string deathcore, but I love to play around with old 90s grunge and rock, classic rock stuff, blues stuff and even country stuff at...

    NAD: Mesa Dual Rec Roadster.... Tube Suggestions fellow Roadster/Dual Rec owners?

    It's just all MESA tubes and a lot of the lettering on them is worn off or chipped off. They physically look like they are probably whatever the amp originally shipped with. 6L6GC, 5U4GB and 12AX7.

    NAD: Mesa Dual Rec Roadster.... Tube Suggestions fellow Roadster/Dual Rec owners?

    Played one of these in a music store local to where I was living at the time back in about 2007 and fell in love. Unfortunately at that point in life I wasn't in a position to spend the money to grab one. Always kept an eye out as the years passed, but could never seem to find one when I had...

    Educate me a little please...

    I'm gonna sit and wait for the market to flood with used ones and grab one of these down the road anyway. In a year or so I bet they are on marketplace for $1200 or so lol

    Educate me a little please...

    I've got a friend selling an original Orthos right now I've been curious to take a look at so I might. I've never had a Diezel, no. Really never looked into them because they were always way above my price range. Having adult money makes that different sometimes lol Some of the videos I've seen...

    This is honestly not one I ever considered. I'll have to look up some videos on it.

    Educate me a little please...

    As much as I love it, a buddy of mine made me an offer on my JCM800 2210 that I couldn't refuse. It's going to be disappearing here in a few weeks and I am going to be on the hunt for something different. Budget will be 2000-2500. I haven't kept up with the world of high gain heads outside...

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    The way I approached it is not "does it sound like this amp" it was more, "can I get a badass tone" and the answer was beyond yes.

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    Man, I love my tube amps don't get me wrong. But this is one of my favorite pieces of guitar gear I have bought in a while. I've had a Helix and Kemper before and could not get along with them at all. They just were too cumbersome and were not intuitive enough for my tube amp brain. I need...

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    Thanks sir, I'll deep dive into this over the next week.

    NGD: AxeFx.... Ultra?

    Grabbed this thing for $450 off Reverb and it finally showed up yesterday. Super clean condition and even had the plastic on the display still when it showed up. Did a little reorganization in my rack and moved the XLR patch panel to the rear and dropped it in. Still want to upgrade to a bigger...

    WTB: AxeFX Ultra..... (FOUND ONE)

    Sniped one on Ebay today. Got it out the door for $475 shipped.

    WTB: AxeFX Ultra..... (FOUND ONE)

    Yeah I'm limiting myself at $500 shipped. I don't NEED one, I just want one. Nothing will replace my tube amps. I just want something for late night jam sessions in my studio. Unfortunately they started building houses around me so I can't really crank the full rig at 11:30pm when inspiration...

    WTB: AxeFX Ultra..... (FOUND ONE)

    Now you may be opening this going this guy is nuts but yes, I do indeed want an AxeFX Ultra. Not interested in other options at this time. I've had HD500X, Avid Eleven, Helix, Kemper and an XL+ in the past. A buddy of mine has an Ultra and it just does enough for what I am looking for... But I...

    Post your 2023 stable here

    I consider my gear to be "the basics" in a way. I would love to have a Diezel, Peters or REVV in the collection, maybe a Twin Reverb or AC30 as well however, racecars are expensive too and that's my other addiction lol I have considered offering up my space for recording but as @Jack Luminous...

    Post your 2023 stable here

    I don't have all the high end crazy gear a lot of you guys have, but I'm pretty stoked on the setup I've put together. I've toured a bit with some low end metal and hardcore bands, I've played in a number of local bands both in FL and when I lived in MA. These days I just noodle at home and...

    Unexpected NAD x2...

    It's all I've played since it showed up. The Stealth has only been jammed on for an hour or so.
