    What are Some 80’s records That….

    I always loved Kick Axe:

    Friedman IR-X sounds great whether IRs are on or off!

    Leaving an IR on wouldn't sound harsh, it'd sound the exact opposite; like a blanket over the speaker. In general, the excessive filtering from an IR diminishes the sound of a cab because the cab is rolling off the same frequencies the IR is and they double down in an uncool way. You probably...

    Spot the Tube Amp vs Modeler - 3 clips

    Quoted for truth. In digital, there is Fractal and then there is everyone else. IMHO. Like @TheGreatGreen , I own a bunch of other gear and amps but the Fractal could absolutely be my entire rig if I did not have that luxury of collecting analog stuff as well. Fractal + Powerstation + Cab can...

    Alright this is cool as shit: Soldano is bringing back the X88R Preamp

    Rarity is driving those prices. The HR25 had people trying to sell them for 5K until the SLO30 dropped for 2.7K and the floor fell out from under them on the used market. I doubt there is any meaningful relationship between what randoms on reverb are asking for those old ones vs BAD’s target...

    Elmwood M90, Anyone Know The History?

    That sounds correct.... I bought an M60 this year (about a month or two back) so have been researching Elmwoods for a while this year. :D Mines an early one (the M60 had two variants) the serial starts with '05' so I'm wondering if date of manufacture wasn't 2005. They are a bargain on the...

    Mezzabarba Trinity (video)

    MZero is EL34, Trinity can be built w/ one or the other depending on buyer's taste/wishes.

    Lynch is retiring Lynch Mob after next years tour

    My understanding is Lynch did not want that to be an LM record. From an interview:

    High gain amp comparison

    The Driftwood slays, IMHO. Maybe my fave. That said, the Kraken was the only one that I would consider less than good. The 6505 was also a bit uninspiring which surprises me because I consider it the archetypal metal amp; but that is probably just me wanting more presence on it rather than a...

    Anyone here from the early days ??

    Two days after. 6/26/06... Also part of the HCAF exodus.

    New 50 watt Bogner 3534 ?? Discussion is open.

    Yeah Bogner stated the OG was around ~45W. @gtr31 That makes a lot of sense. I wonder if a 3534 could be modded to a 50W version w/out a transformer swap.

    Tell me about the Soldano SLO 30.. Good for more than 80's? Thrash?

    My fave of the cabs I have is my Synergy 412, which is the same as the Friedman 412 (Greenbacks on top, V30s on bottom).

    any opinions on de Lisle amp switchers?

    I‘ve had this one, about three or four months: https://www.delisleguitar.com/shop/de-lisle-amp-speaker-selector-8x6-pro-plus-with-reactive-attenuator/ It’s been great so far.

    Dave Murray now using Fractal

    Doubtful. That'd be peanuts for Maiden and Fractal has gone on record saying they don't pay artists. It's pretty easy to understand what is going on here. Most of the appeal for these big acts are probably pragmatic considerations that apply for big name artists that are doing a huge...

    iPad Bluetooth guitar solution?

    No one has made such a product because Bluetooth’s inherent latency is far too large for live guitar playing or monitoring.

    Might fall into the FM9 Rabbit hole LOL !

    Before you give up on digital completely: buy a Kemper and compare your experience of not playing it versus not playing the Fractal. You may find that you have a strong preference for not playing one over not playing the other.

    NCD: Synergy SYN-412

    Yes. They're identical cabs. Only difference is the aesthetics/branding and the Syn cab has a multi-jack that supports either 16 ohm mono or 8 ohm stereo connection (to support stereo power amps for the Synergy preamp/power amp type rigs). Oh, yeah, and the Syn sells for $300 less new. :P Got...

    Amp Switchers .......

    I got the DeLisle with the loop switching (8x6 Pro Plus w/ Attenuator) even though I have a PS2. This allows me to run my Syn2 preamps, Kraken V4 preamp, AxeFx III, or Quad Cortex amp models into any given power section that is hooked into the switcher. So, I can run my Synergy preamps into...

    Best Recorded SLO-100 tones

    It doesn't have to be. The Normal channel is anything but. IMHO.
