Just recently got this put back together after living in the MIDI/Rack world for a long time. Simple, yet effective, and I can use it with either my Gerlitz or my MarkIII with only having to swap out the amp's footswitch. The CE-5 on top of the Pedal Power was giving me trouble (likely a cable...
Essentially, I slapped a Dual Rec Orange channel in the preamp. Had to add a tube for an additional input stage. I finished it up last night, but couldn't get any more than don't-wake-the-wife-and-kid volume, so this morning I fired it up at a reasonable volume. So far I'm very pleased. It's...
Been considering trying to trade one of my PRS CE Maples for a Mod100. What's the going rate for an empty Mod100 these days?
Or maybe trying to get an RM100, and then have it "Egnater-ized" by the boys in MI, if they still do that kind of thing.
So my best friend who, in his clearing out of stuff before moving, gave me his el-cheapo behringer guitar and Rockman guitar amp. A mutual friend of ours who was a Behringer rep for a while gave the stuff to him, but he never learned to play guitar. I figured I'd let my son beat up on the...
A very good friend of mine/former band-mate has put something together that I think some of you guys might like. He's the perennial DIY'er, and has a pretty good ear for tone.

I like his idea with the boost/OD. I'm definitely...
Makes me not dislike Mark Tremonti. :lol: :LOL:
I could never get into Creed, mainly because of Scott Stapp, but after having the first Alter Bridge album for about a year, and recently getting Blackbird, I really like these guys. Myles has the perfect voice for their style, and both of them...
Moving a few pieces of this rig, so I figured I'd snap some pics before I tore it apart. Really enjoyed it like this, but, as always, onward and upward.
Hey guys. I don't normally come in this section and post. But I'm feeling like I'm at the end of one of my spurts of ability. Over the past couple of years, I've been working on my speed moving across the fretboard, but I'm still missing being able to move up and down with any real...
To preface, my main "gig" is lead guitarist at my church, and have been for over 9 years now.
I went through too many different core rigs in that time from Rocktron Piranha w/ Ensoniq DP4 for FX, Mesa Boogie Maverick w/ pedals, Mesa Heartbreaker, Mesa Trem-O-Verb, then the Heartbreaker and...
Can totally nail that dimed plexi sound!
Lately, while getting my big rack rig up and running, I've been using my Gerlitz amp with a few pedals as my weekly rig. I decided to try the "dimed" settings the other week, and to my surprise, it actually sounded incredible. I did back off the gain a...
Just got back from a little road trip. Found a guy north of Columbus, OH who was trying to sell a 14 space Mesa sus-4. He was willing to drive 90 miles to meet me half way on the north side of Cincy, and I now have a practically mint condition (hang tags still on it) rack. I'm totally stoked...
Hooked my boogie Studio Preamp with fresh IIc+ mod up to a cheap little 2x12 closed back cab with a couple of old Black Shadow (CL-90's I think) speakers, and it just worked. I'd been using my Marshall cab w/ Celestion/Egnater elite 80's, and while it sounded good, it was just slightly off...
Something has me thinking about getting one of these again. I had one a while back, before I really knew mug about tone, and really liked it. I ended up parting with it because I lacked the time to really program it to where I needed it, but that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Just curious what...
How do these compare in size to a late '70s marshall JMP? From what I can tell, the JMP/JCMs were some of the bigger, longer heads made pretty much as wide as the Marshall 4x12 (29" or so).
So I'm thinking of doing the IIC+ mod to my studio preamp. So far, I've found this guide:

Looks easy enough. I figure I should be able to knock this out in about an hour. Has anyone here done this mod...
