If the Engl SE 6L6 vs EL34 is anything to go by, and the KT77 being perhaps closer tonally to EL34's, my guess is that it will not sound larger per se, but less scooped yes. I dunno if you've seen this video, but he makes them sound quite similar when distorted (slight preference for the KT77 I...

I never had them at the same time, and there was almost 10 years in between them. What I mostly remember, is that the Engl sounds a tad more focussed and punchy and the Mesa sounds bigger/wider. I replaced the top Mesa V30 speaker with a G12-65 for more smoothness and low-end and placed a...

I have multiple; a few diagonal 2x12, measuring roughly 24" x 24", and the Mesa vertical, measuring 24" wide by 30" high. Had an Engl V30 2x12 vertical in the past too (paired with my 1st Savage 60). Depending on the quality of the woods and workmanship, it may weigh considerably less than some...

My mistake if I sounded like I was disagreeing with you; I was actually agreeing and expanding. :cheers: So, no it doesn't hurt the amp. It may or may not color your signal in an unpleasant way and you'll notice quick enough. :giggle:

If you're sending too much signal into the front of an already (slightly) overdriven amp, many (not all!) amps will: -just distort more -flub out in the low-end -become oversaturated/fuzzy To balance the flubbing out, that's why popular boosts like TS9's and SD1s actually lose some low-end and...

I would personally stay very far away from the PAF Pro, as it's the pick up that exudes the complaint about most Dimarzio pickups the hardest; that vocal, cocked wah-sound. I have plenty of experience with the following Dimarzios as neck pickups: -Super Distortion/Dual Sound neck: powerful...

Back in the day, when the WGS speakers were really affordable, they were a nice gateway to getting classic tones, but nowadays, what's their USP? In Europe an ET-65 costs €130-135 nowadays, while you can get a new, UK made Celestion G12-65 Heritage for €156-160. For €/$ 25 difference...

Cherry-picking, dude. I named 3 things, that had world-wide effects, and in 2021 there were still plenty of lock-downs WORLD WIDE, oopsie-boatsie was in March '21 and Ukraine crap started Feb '22, so...you know? Logic, instead of parroting a flawed narrative? So, sorry, nothing false in what I...

Because, like I said: "And in some cases you can blame policies, and in some cases catastrophic world events." So, nobody said a peep, because it wasn't just Biden that did that. If Trump or any other person for that matter, was in office between '20 and '23, they would also have to deal with...

Here's a link to that chart, and I see a few take-aways: Short-short-term 1) inflation is on the rise since April. Possibly catalysed due to the tariffs getting into effect. 2) Your comment 'inflation is low'...Well, relative to May 2021- May 2023, sure. But... long term: 3) it's not LOW. It's...

Holy crap, I modded both my MIJ and MIT myself for maybe $10; the 2 main things to tackle is replace the 1uF (IIRC) tantalum caps (the ones that look like yellow/brownish drops) and replace the IC's with something low(er) noise; TL072 is fine. NE5532P is real fine, but draws a bit more current...

You do realise that both things can be right at the same time? So, printing extra money during a pandemic causes inflation. Aaaaaand the current situation with the tariffs *adds* to inflation (I'm not saying 'causing it'), because local product prices are rising as a result... But seeing how...

Interesting to see a band of their scale still shitting around between songs, during soundcheck, you know, the stuff that sound guys usually hate... :cheers: Oh, fun fact that no one in the comments seems to have picked up; at 13m39s Kirk starts this riff of a Jaguar song; "Dutch Connection"...

"That don't confront me. But booyyyyy, he was so nice. Real lovey-dovey." So @BeZo did you see him? I assume his concession stand was rent free as well. \:D/

+1. Set up your Mark's unboosted tone for more of a 70's hard rock meets sludge rock tone (so, a bit more flabby or loose, not too gained) and then the tightening of the boost (be it an SD-1, TS-9, etc. as long as it adds volume and cuts low-end) will do the rest. The same goes for my Caliber...

Ho-lee Sheet, almost forgot about that one...even though now you mentioned it, I remember back in the early 2000's, I was convinced my home-studio NEEDED one of these to make my tones more pro. :rolleyes: I'm glad I never got one in the end. I will say, one studio device that DOES make your...

If you play a Mark side by side with most other amps, that's telling as well. I had a Mark IV Rev A for a short while (when you could still get them for ~$1k mind you) and while it did do 2 things very great (cleans and lead), I actually was gravitating more to my 5153's 50W 6L6 blue channel...

or any of Neil Young's "guitar solos" as "guitar solos"... I also wonder, suppose if an actual recording artist lets AI write/compose the song, but then still record it with actual musicians, would we be able to tell that the song structure and melody was AI generated? I hope that bubble bursts...

U wot mate?

fixed it for ya. 😉 🤘
