In the never ending quest for sustain and “tone”, players using vibrato bridges look at every part of the guitar, most notably the bridge, to upgrade. Big sustain blocks, brass or titanium string retaining blocks, bigger brass spring claws, brass claw screws, titanium saddles, etc, etc. And...
I have a 2005 SLO and would like to mod the loop so I can use it with pedals. Will it change the tone characteristics of the amp? Is it easily reversible? Will it affect the amp’s worth?
The RT FB group was started a few years ago (pre-pandemic) with mixed opinions here. It’s wasn’t meant to take the place of the mothership but to augment it by giving members the choice to connect with other RT members in a different format. I’ve been a member of RT for about 14 years and feel...
I’m looking for a simple, small, portable, and most of all compatible unit to use with the MKI SLO’s line level loop.
Has anyone used one? Especially the V2 as it seems to have a pre and post boost. Looks like it has 15dB’s of post boost which should be more than enough to meet SLO’s line level...
Finally finished!! This project started 8 months ago and turned out better than expected. My first partscaster. It’s what I would do if I had my own signature guitar.
BODY: MJT, alder (sorted for light weight), Nitro Graffiti yellow, light aging
NECK: Musikraft, thin C profile, 10-14”...
Having a difficult time finding examples of low wattage tube combos with the following features. Only amps I could find is a Marshall DSL40 (which may be the way to go as I found a few locally in the $300 range) or an EVH combo. Want to stay away from the EVH since I already have the head. I...
I’m looking to add Floyd Roses’ big brass block (37mm) to an original Floyd Rose (Hot Rod model). Will it limit the range of motion when pulling up on the bar compared to the standard block? Is it common practice to have to enlarge the body route to accommodate the larger block?
I am...
I’ve been a member of RT for about 10 years and have seen many things come and go from original/frequent members to ownership. I know that many of the original members were pretty vocal about their dislike for social media but times have definitely changed. Brad King, though not the founder of...
Bogner Shiva 20th. This began after having the amp on standby for about 10 minutes without a speaker cable connected. I strummed a couple chords before realizing the overlook. Now this happens. It sounds fine until you wait for the notes to trail, then it breaks up and cuts in and out. I’m...
Just hoping to find someone in Minnesota that can help a friend who has a fly gig scheduled for July 7th and is in need of borrowing an amp for the show. Rob Tahan is a killer guitarist for Ashes Remain and is a member here on RT (though it’s been years since he’s logged in). His usual rig...
Happened to come across this for my all-original Marshall 2204. I’ve heard mixed reviews, but for the price of a pedal I thought I’d give it a try. Anyone have experience with it?
I'm looking to put together an ultimate 80's rig (ala Michael Wagener) based around the ADA MP-1. Let me know if you have one of these EQ's lying around that you wouldn't mind letting go cheap. I would prefer a reissue with the input on the front panel but doesn't have to be. :rock:
I recently bought a 30 year old Jem on eBay. Surprsingly, it came with a fantastic heavy duty case that has a “Chandler Guitars” name plate. My original plan was to buy an actual Ibanez Jem case but I now want to keep this one. The problem is that the foam interior is breaking down causing...
Patience pays off! I’ve been looking for a fairly clean original run Jem 777 in desert yellow for years, preferring it over the pink and green paint jobs. I remember staring at it in the 1990 Ibanez catalog for hours as a kid. I always passed on most that were for sale because either the...
I finally want to set up my amp room and be able to switch to different heads with a push of a button or two, preferably all using the same cab(s). Also, I have one main pedal board that I would like to use with 3 different heads (fx loops). Is there some sort of junction box that I could hook...
A few years ago I made a short list of amps and gear to be on the hunt for. Stuff that's responsible for the sounds and tones of 80's rock and metal that I love and have been influenced by (i.e. Vertical input JCM 800, Boss CE-2, RG550, etc). I've had an increased sense of urgency to acquire...
