At church I’ve been playing through a Synergy amps sn-2 with the BB-BE module and the HBEx2 module. I was powering it with an old Mosvalve 962. It sounded ok but it was not a tube amp. I just picked up a Tubeworks Provalve rt-4250 tube power amp. I dug around online and could not find much of...

I have an old g-major I am trying to use and when I turn it on the screen is scrambled (unreadable) for 5-12 minutes and the system is locked up. While this is going on I cannot change channels nor does any signal get through it. Then the screen becomes readable and it starts working. This has...

Has anyone ever gigged with 2 16ohm cabs that were different sizes? I am playing tonight and due to the small room, my 4x12 will be turned around and mic'ed. I'd like to use the 1x12 as a monitor in front of me. I realize I will not get full power but that isn't an issue. Anyone ever do...

I recently picked up a 1971 Marshall B cab. The tolex was stripped off but it has the original speakers. Unfortunately it has a very strong musty smell. I put a box of baking soda inside of it but it is still too smelly to put in the house. Has anyone had luck de-stinking an old cab? I am not...

Bought Henning Cherry Bomb #1 from Octavio on the forum, got new tubes in it and it really sounds great. I'll try to get clips recorded tomorrow morning at church. When ever you buy an amp built by one of the smaller builders support can be a joke, and shipping cross country for repairs is...

I recently bought a Jim Wigle Puplexi. One of the reasons I bought it was to use as a platform for learning how to mod an amp. I have absolutely no desire to go into business or sell anything I do, I just want to tweak it to my taste. I would like to do the following: 1. Add a line out. 2...

Ghosty999's post on how today's music sounds the same from a production perspective got me thinking about Gene Simmons pronouncing rock music is dead. There are no current popular bands that have the ability to craft complex yet easy to digest songs and can play/sing on par with Pink Floyd, Led...

The band: Lead singer - never been in a band before Drummer and other guitar player - has not gigged in 10+ years (the guitar player only gigged a few times). Bass player and myself - 25yrs in active bands The bass player in my current band has missed half of the practices since I joined 3...

I always struggle with pitch shifting/detune/chorus effects. I'd like to get this type of tone: JMLGyVjNdO4 Any ideas? I have a 1974 Friedman modded Marshall, 4x12 with 2 Scumback M75's and 2 old Creambacks. For effects I have a G Major, Boss PS-5, CE-2, BF-2, a vintage Phase 90, an old...

This past Saturday I attended the Melodic Rock Fest in Arlington Hts, IL. Andrew from http://melodicrock.com/ runs the fest and it was pretty cool. House of Shakira and HEAT from Sweden stole the show as far as carrying the torch for new melodic/hard rock. Bombay Black from the US really...

Is Jerry still making amps? Does anyone have one? A couple friends are looking at buying a new amp and for the price, Jerry's stuff looks good. I remember some interesting posts of his, but I never heard of anyone being ripped off by him. Thoughts?

I think these guitars were briefly talked about here before but I do not remember for sure. Has anyone here bought a guitar from http://www.rareelectricguitar.com/? I know it's Asian and I get that the electronics are not top shelf but some of the prices are pretty good even if you have to...

I am looking for another power amp and seen the Retro Channel power amp. Are they any good? bqt4cWMpN-g Are they still in production? Anyone try this amp? gDFPQZFCct8

Actually x2 but I do not have the second yet. I sold my BE-100 because I simply cannot carry it due to my back. And I still gig 2-3x per month. I have a Kemper and it is unreal and will be my main live rig but I missed seeing a traditional amp behind me. I saw a blurb here about Mahaffay amps...

Believe it or not I am a huge Mott the Hoople fan, have been since 1976. I saw Ian Hunter's book; "Diary of a Rock and Roll Star" and thought I'd go to Amazon and grab a copy. Wow, $160 and up!!! If anyone knows where I can buy a digital copy, please let me know. :rock: :rock:

Does anyone know what kind of V Ken Logan plays? Here it looks like a Gibson but I have watched some of their videos and it does not look like a Gibson there. Thanks.

I had a 1987 Kramer Pacer and the Floyd posts wore out the hole they were in and tilted forward as you'd expect. I just saw another Kramer on Ebay with the same issue. Is that a common problem with wooden bodies of the type Kramer Pacers were made out of? When you think about it, the posts are...

I am looking for metal head video magazine volume 3 - end. I checked Ebay and found volume 4. Does anyone know about these videos? I have volumes 1 &2, they are a cool glimpse of the metal scene back in the day, and would like to get all of them. Any ideas or info?

My 2 Friedman modded Marshalls: 1981 Marshall 50 watt 1975 Marshall 100 watt The 75 Marshall is the only "thing" I was ever sorry I sold. I boguht a CCV and the BE-100 and was truly done with GAS, then my back started hurting. Turns out the fusion I had in 2008 did not take. It it loose but...
