After finding out recently about the Friedman BE-OD Deluxe, the sound in some of the review vids had me intrigued. I've owned the Bogner Ecstasy Blue and Red pedals myself, as well as a Blackstar HT-Dual, AMT SS-30. They all had their pros and cons. The Blackstar sounded probably the best (tube...

Guys, I have a nice re-issue Kramer SM-1, that came stock with 2 Seymour Duncan Cool Rails (neck and middle) and a JB bridge. So far, I've added a ToneVise Pitchshifter to the Floyd Rose, and replaced the (already brass, but thin) trem block with a thick, 34mm trem block. This had quite an...

Here's the story: I got an Engl Savage 60 head which only has 2 speaker outputs; an 8 Ohm and a 16 Ohm. Now all of my 2x12 cabs are 8 Ohm (with each one having 2x 16 Ohm speakers in parallel). So I figured, with a speaker jack plate like this, I could potentially make one cab in a sort of...

https://www.gearnews.com/kramer-sm-1-figured-new-aaa-maple-higher-end-model/ If I did not already own a nice vintage white SM-1 that I've slightly upgraded (CRL switch, Bourns pot, Switchcraft jack, big brass trem block), I'd be all over that Carribean Blue (more greenish) Perimeter...

As some of you may know, I got an Engl Savage 60 back in my collection since 2017 (posted a thread here at the time too) and lately I've been noticing a 50Hz hum becoming more apparent (mine's the 230V version), together with some rumbly ticking sounds every now and then. Given that this amp is...

Today I scored my 2nd 90's EVM12L loaded Mesa Thiele cab. (top one in the picture) Serial no. is even close to my 1st one. :love: It sure thumps and I have to cut down bass on the GEQ of the mini Mark. From all the good stories, I was even more on the hunt for an half-open MC90 version of...

So I got the Quintessence for a while now, fun pedal, tracks better than the Boss PS-6 that I sold, but the Boss still had that cool detune setting, that almost veered into DC-2 territory. Now, according to some folks on the internets, with the TC Tone Print Editor you should be able to create...

A while ago I sold my Mesa DC-5, since I prefer the drive tones of the Mark series more, but damn, that was one gorgeous clean channel. Turns out I did record some clips at the time, and listening back I could hear what was the reason for selling... There is this fuzzy thickness in the low-mids...

Since I'm on a roll now with simple phone recordings :lol: :LOL: , here's the Mesa Boogie DC-5 (rev B), both unboosted and with a Ibanez TSMini boosting it, true a Marshall 1966B 2x12 (T75 and V30). Graphic EQ is on all the time (heavy V setting). I'm running the Bass on the channel EQ lowish...

As requested in my Savage 60 thread, here are two high gain clips of the Mark V:25. It actually sounded better through that 2x12 Marshall cab than I remembered. The sound level is no longer bedroom friendly. Not exactly stage volume either, but you'd have to shout in the room to be heard over...

Didn't want to start a YT acc, and found Streamable. Interestingly enough you can hear how my phone (Samsung S7) starts out pretty well limited, and then allows a ton more low-end to come through after a few seconds. The downside is, in the clips it sounds a lot boomier than in the room now...

So my Burny Les Paul Custom (Randy Rhoads model, from '81) was itching for a new neck pup, mainly to make the guitar 'all Duncan'. Bridge pickup is a Custom/59 Hybrid and the neck pup was a DiMarzio 36th Anniv. PAF neck (DP103). Mind you, that DiMarzio is great in its own right and if I didn't...

After a few years of searching, I found one! :rock: It's a Rev B, looks near-mint and it's a lot lighter than I expected after a stint with a Mark IV. The good: -those cleans... Ermahgedd... :D :thumbsup: -versatile drive tones, that will really bring the br00tz once boosted. -no...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fySO70XIfWU That Austrian guy from Thomann holds his own with the sillyness. "...mic drop". :lol: :LOL:

Why would you make the Savage 60 MKII 'full size' instead of the 24"/60cm width as the old one? :confused: :aww: 7uHwR3bjkt4 According to that video feature set between the 120 MKII and 60 MKII is identical, save for the power amp (6550's vs. EL34's). :confused: Since he mentions...

Lusted after Kramers for years and never found the right one... (I like the beak headstocks myself, don't like the hockeystick/banana ones)... but this came along and ticked quite a few 'want' boxes: -arched top -neck through -ebony fretboard -real Floyd Rose -Duncan pups and I didn't have a...

An ENGL Special Edition EL34 head. The 4th Engl in the house, next to the Ironball, Savage 60 and InVader 100. :rock: As my previous experience with the 6L6 version was so-so, I never had buyer's remorse of my Invader (also, because the Invader was reachable financially, whereas the SE was...

Currently I have a Tungsol 12AX7 in V1 of my Invader 100, which is nice, but I think it may have caused Channel 2 to have become too smooth. (It's fine for Channels 1 and 3, plus I can EQ a lot more there) It doesn't help that I'm playing my Savage 60 most of the time at home, which is a more...

Last week I got a Torpedo Live, and I wasn't able to do some IR uploading and tweaking until yesterday. Man, this thing rocks! Finally get to crank the Fryette Sig:X and the Engl Savage 60 at home! For now I've focussed on Mesa 4x12 recto-cab IR's (got some Ownhammers to compare to the stock...

:rock: :rock: :rock: This might be the first cab I'm gonna name... Sgt. Thump. :thumbsup: Here, below my Mini Recto 1x12 Slant cab and Mark V:25. And it works even better with the Ironball! Major Thump! Nice lil' mini-wall of Death:
