    Tech-savy people: What is really the same on a Recto and an SLO?

    Not really sure how much (or if) it affects the tone, but the SLO also never disengages the clean channel when the overdrive channel is engaged which doesn't happen on the Recto. There's been debate about how much this matters, however, considering the output of the overdrive channel likely...

    Does a boost tighten an amp when put in loop?

    I'd guess no, or at least not in the same way that boosting up front does. Putting the boost up front pushes the preamp tubes, which is what results in the tighter sound. Boosting in the loop would only drive the phase inverter and power amp tubes, which I'd guess would have less of an effect...

    Plastic Chrome Humbucker Covers

    I've been noticing quite a difference lately between my guitar with chrome pickup covers vs one without (same guitar model, both with Duncan JBs). It makes sense that throwing a big piece of metal between the coils and the strings would affect the tone, but I hadn't realized just how drastic...

    My 1st amp build!

    Hell of an undertaking for a first build! Good luck! I'd also recommend building an amp stethoscope (basically an output jack wired to the wiper of a 1M pot with test leads wired to the other lugs of the pot, one for ground and one through a coupling cap to block DC). Connect the ground...

    34s. Or even better, use both in a Mark series

    Also, there's a SE 245 that just came up on my local Facebook marketplace. Would be willing to pick it up and swap out the stock pickups, if you were interested. PM me if you are

    Mesa 295 Simulclass

    Who's tried one of these? How close are they to the Mark series power amp? Always loved being able to run EL-34s and 6L6s in parallel on the mark and would love to be able to use that with some other pre's. I saw somewhere that they use the same tranny's as the mark II or III, anyone know if...

    Reverb sold prices

    Totally shady business practice, if you ask me. I think eBay does the same, but not positive

    Sale Pending Would have jumped all over this if you had a chrome bridge PU.

    Fishman Fluence Signature Series - Devin Townsend Pickup Set - SOLD

    This is a set of Fishman Fluence Devin Townsend Signature pickups. Bought these and installed them in my guitar, but didn't use the guitar much and ended up swapping them out and selling it. They've got maybe 10 total hours of light use on them. They sound great and are dead quiet, and I...

    SOLD - Ibanez Prestige s5470 in Transparent Black w/ OHSC

    2008 Ibanez Prestige s5470 transparent black guitar in great condition. Has an amazingly fast neck--wide and thin. HSH pickup configuration gives a ton of tonal options. Innovative tremolo which is by far the best I've ever used. Thin, contoured body means it's super comfortable to play...

    EVH 5150 Stealth vs Soldano SLO

    I've not heard a better amp at low volume than my SLO, which is incredible considering it's 100W. There's definitely something magical there, IMO.

    The great Singlecut debate: Gibson LP vs PRS Singlecut

    Love both but the weight of the LP is what finally converted me to a PRS for live shows, at least. There's nothing like the chunk of a LP, though

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    IMO, people will always say we're not 'there' yet because modeling is trying to recreate the sounds of known amps. As long as there exists a 'real thing' and a 'clone', people will say it's not the same thing because, well, people like to do that sort of thing... It happens all the time with...

    Used GC Friedman JJ-100: Legit or Nay?

    Well, the good news is it showed up undamaged, the bad news is it was a JJ combo. Wha wha... I got there and the guy went to get it from the back. He brings out a giant box, and you could just tell it wasn’t a box you’d ship a head in. The packaging inside was terrible, with all kinds of...

    Used GC Friedman JJ-100: Legit or Nay?

    Damn, that sucks. Oh well, still worth a shot. Won't be surprised if that's what it is

    Used GC Friedman JJ-100: Legit or Nay?

    Tracking says 51 lbs. JJ-Junior is listed at 22 lbs, and JJ-100 is 43 lbs. 8 lbs in packaging material seems about right.... ⁉️
