Simple question, really. What's your preference? Most of us here (including me) are high gain guys who probably spend the majority of the time on the bridge pickup. But every now and then, we'll swap over to the other end of the guitar and get down that way. Based on the kinds of guitars most...

I've wanted one of these amps for a long time now. About 10 years ago I went to Vintage King audio in Nashville and tried one out, and by that point, I’d been interested in them long enough to make an appointment reserving time at a high end guitar store over an hour from where I lived just to...

Poll closed. Clips: (edit: clip volumes have been slightly mismatched on purpose. Please us your own volume control to adjust for yourself) Yep, it's yet another one of these threads. Everybody loves to talk endlessly about how modeling is and always will be just so vastly inferior to...

I believe a lot of what we think of as "tone" is actually technique. I had an injury to my right wrist recently, which took me out of playing for a few weeks. I'm healing up fine now though, and have started playing again. Last night I was going through some woodshedding stuff and kept thinking...

Official photo of the Dual Rectifier on Mesa's site. They changed the tolex to... *gags* bronco.

So this is going to sound ridiculous, but for the longest time, I was hesitant to start messing around with drum machines, basically for no other reason than using them on a technical level was not something I just immediately understood how to do. I've been telling myself that even if I go out...

***NOT MY VIDEO*** I saw this come across my youtube feed. I haven't seen this guy before but the video is very well done, thought you guys might get some useful info out of it. Also, the tones this guy gets from all three amps are great. Check it out.

If you're in the US and want to sell your Matrix GT1000FX 2U, please let me know. Thanks!

I'll get right to it. To sum it up, the amp is incredible and I'm having a blast with it. Reinhold should be proud of this one. I guess I'll start by telling you what this amp isn't. It is NOT some caveman amp that only does over-the-top gain at the expense of feel, dynamics, clarity, and...

edit: ok so apparently the actual song, sans video, is only 7 goddamn minutes and 39 seconds long.

This just came across my feed, thought you guys might find it interesting. Here's everybody's favorite controversial youtube guitar player with yet another banger of a claim. I'm glad this notion is finally getting some traction.

Hey guys, I was messing around in the studio a little while ago just testing amps and thought some of you might find the tones interesting. Guitar: PRS Custom 22 w/ EMG 81 bridge Boost: Boss GE7 - clean boost by about 5-6 db with slight low end rolloff Amps: Bogner Helios 100 Mesa Mark V:25...

For the longest time, I always glossed over Bogner amps. I have always gone for heavier and more modern sounds, and for whatever reason I thought Bogners were too "boutique-y," too soft, not my style, etc. But not too long ago, a guy I know got me really interested in them and I started down the...

Somebody put up a thread on TGP asking how long it will take Gibson to screw up Mesa, and after a few baffling "it doesn't matter, who cares" posts (because, in case it isn't obvious, it does matter and you should care), the thread was deleted. Here's a screencap of the thread title, poll, and...

I feel like 5150's get reputations as one-trick-ponies, known for being 100% high gain fire breathers and not quite good at much else. So, to see if I could stretch one a bit outside that wheelhouse, I tried to dial in the impossible... a dynamic tone that could go from almost clean to mediumish...

Lately there have been a few really great sounding Bogner Ecstasy high gain clips floating around. To me, these clips have sort of conflicted with the conventional wisdom I've heard that Bogners (Ecstasys in particular) are dark, slow, and spongy. "Chewy" being the most common word for them. So...

I came across a video earlier that compared a bunch of speakers. Among those were two Celestion G12T-75 speakers, one made in 2017 and the other made in 1994. The one from 2017 sounded pretty excellent to my ears, while the one from 1994 was one of the worst sounding speakers in the whole video...

This is a picture of the iPhone 7's mic. Samsung cell phone mics are basically identical. To buy a replacement costs about $0.25. Notice the dimensions. The diaphragm is less than 2 millimeters wide. When you record a demo of your multi-thousand dollar rig with one of these, with the cell phone...

So after doing some research, it seems that the two most popular multi-head into multi-cab switchers come from Ampete and KHE. Both companies offer flagship products with more or less the same feature set at more or less the same price point. However, the KHE manual notes that it can handle 150...
