I'm being attacked by a large group of people who basically want to ruin my life. They do these attacks on the internet and in real life using deception, taking things out of context and lying. They doused a bunch of my Vintage 30's in water for example by first breaking into my place. But...

I've decided to save up for one of these amps, which would you go for and why? I'm thinking Mark VII, but i'm a bit concerned about some of these users that claim they don't cut live?? Which may be a problem if I ever get a band going again. Is that just user error or what? I'm also a bit...

Thank you to the people that recommended it to me. I noticed quite a big difference in tone going from the stock Alnico 5 pickups to the Custom in my Yamaha. The high end especially, it's just very clear and defined with this pickup and distinct sounding, with a fat low end and mids have a nice...

Just letting you know that my account was hacked by some idiot, and they've been doing some bad shit. So anything negative that I may post might not be me?? Changing my password now.

Hopefully these new V30's are as good as some people say they are, or if it really just is like winning the lottery?? I shall give my judgement when they come. I guess it's the 5 - 6k region that is a little tamed in these new ones which can sound a bit fizzy with the wrong amp, also if they're...

I bought a Yamaha revstar res20 (i think it's called) for the hell of it and I gotta say it plays so well and sounds excellent for such a cheap instrument. I'm surprised, It's better than many guitars priced twice as much IMO, like many of the LTD's i've played and owned. The pickups in it are...

Is there any benefit to having a adjustable bias mod on a Mesa Mark series amp, or a Recto? I know they're biased on the cold side, but I wonder if a hotter bias would help them in any way?

I'm looking for clarity and note separation. Basically I'm looking for a reason to put my JB back in my Ibanez, but i just can't think of one, the Distortion rips pretty good,, but it does have quite a bit of high end sizzle to it that i think is interfering with the clarity of my tone?? But...

Me, I can't do pinch harmonics worth a damn. Sometimes I get lucky and hit one, but the only ones I can sorta get are on the unwound strings and they're like semi pinch harmonics. I think it has to do with the way I hold the pick? cause I've watched tutorials and they say to use a part of the...

I've got a cheap Ibanez LP copy with a duncan JB in it right now. It really does sound good, but I think it could possibly sound better. I'm looking for clarity in the top end, maybe a slight hi end roll off to add definition? That's what I like about the JB, it's really clear in the treble...

No excuses. Any amp that is decent should be able to record well. If an amp just sounds good in the room but doesn't record well, then it's useless. How many gigs do people play un-mic'd? I can't think of seeing many, if any gigs without a mic on the cab. If it sounds good recorded then it's a...

From Bob Rock on Hetfield's tone, it starts at about the 21 minute mark:

I've got about four sets of old 6l6's, Mesa branded and JJ's. I'm just wondering if there is any way to test them in a amp without damaging the amp in any way? like blow a resistor or something? I'm positive some of them are still good, but i'm also quite positive that some are no good.

While I'm not usually a fan of fuzz tones or fuzz pedals really, there are some exceptions, like this (the chorus:) Chevelle's whole Sci-Fi Crimes album is full of these great fuzz tones IMO, it's on the bass too. I wonder what kind of pedals they were using? List your favs.

I just bought a Duncan JB for the bridge of one of my shitty guitars, but then I see this video: What shitty timing hey, and what a waste of a $100 for a pickup that'll never change my tone. We should all commit suicide now, we've wasted our lives.

When you play a note softly on the low E , A or D string it should ring clear, but you're going to get a bit of buzz for a second when you play a bit harder and let it ring for a bit. There shouldn't be any fret buzz on the lighter unwound strings. Is this everyone elses experience as well with...

I've got 2 ltd Vipers with similar specs. One sounds amazing (2014 Viper 1000 deluxe, emg 57 & 66), it's thick and full sounding, articulate, clear, great to play, and the other Viper (2004 Viper 400, emg 81 & 60a) sounds like shit! (thin, gross) but has great playability. I want to know what...

It's an oversized recto cab I bought from Long & Mcquade in 2008, it's got a watts rating of 280, so this was when they rated their V30's at 70 watts instead of 60 watts. On the cab it says C2-61332 stamped. It has a tag that I still have with the serial of E50-3135, or E50-3131? it was...

For a while there I couldn't tell if the guy could play or not? The high gain stuff happens at about 11 mins in.
