    NGD: Kramer Sambora mutt

    Picked this up from a buddy the other day, he found it sitting in a store a few years ago so we don´t really know the story of it. Sambora body, an American neck, a Floyd which seems to predate the rest of the thing by a couple of years, an 80s Duncan Distortion and what looks like maybe two old...

    NPQD: Furman PQ3 and PQ4

    I stumbled across both of these almost simultaneously a while back, but never got around to hooking them up and doing some proper A-B testing with them. I´ll only be keeping one of them, if any, so we´ll see how this goes. First impressions are that they in fact are very similar and sound very...

    NGD: Kramer Elliot Easton

    I´m a super strat guy all the way, but after all these years I don't think I ever had a Kramer before. This one popped up the other week and I took a flyer on it, I guess it's really not a typical Kramer and for good reason it's way more like a Tom Anderson instead since he made the prototypes...

    NAD: Boogie mark III+

    Lately I´ve found myself looking at Boogies again, sort of missing the blue-stripe Coliseum I had five years ago and probably sold a little too fast. Anyway, I got in touch with a guy in the next town over about this fine specimen, and even though it´s a bit more expensive than what I originally...

    What is this powertube and should it be in a Mark III?

    Hi guys, I´m looking at a simulclass Mark III and noticed this is what´s in the inner pair of tubes. I don´t think I´ve ever seen anything except EL34s and 6L6s in a Mark and this looks maybe like a 6550, which raises the question what the Boogie biasing can handle.

    NAD: 3 Monkeys Zé (José style)

    I was definitely not looking for another Marshall-ish amp, but this was so cool I had to jump on it. 3 Monkeys is/was mainly Ossie Ahsen who made a nice name for himself in the Marshall/EVH world with Blockhead amps earlier, and he did a lot of work for Brad Whitford who also is/was a part of 3...

    For sale (EU): Valley Arts M Deluxe tele (700€)

    Here is a very cool and unusual japanese Valley Arts from back in the 1980s. It caught my eye a while back, but as it turns out I´m still not much of a tele guy and this one needs to find a new home. It is one of their 7/8 models and it basically comes across as a telecaster with some key...

    Valley Arts M Deluxe "tele"

    I played one of these at a shop maybe fifteen years ago and thought it was pretty cool, and I just came across an almost minty fresh one that I decided to grab. This is from the 80s japanese production, which typically is classy stuff. I´ve had a couple of other guitars from the same M line...

    Does anyone still use the Rectifier Recording preamp?

    I see these floating by from time to time with little fanfare, often selling very cheap considering how expensive they were new not that long ago. Was it just a dud and a disappointment even for Recto fans or are they worth looking into? I understand the Recording aspect of it might be hit or...

    NAD: Germino Masonette

    Looks beautiful, sounds beastly! I didn't have time to do much beyond seeing that it works before I had to go on a work trip yesterday, but man oh man does it have a great crunch. Really looking forward to spending some more time with it later in the week :)

    Soon to be NAD: Marshall 1987 from the JCM800 era

    Isn´t this just pretty? It´s a minty fresh model 1987 from 1985, so more or less a late 1970s JMP MkII 50w in JCM800 clothing. Really looking forward to this coming in, I´ve never owned a nice non-master Marshall :)

    FS in Europe: Custom Audio 3+

    Hi guys, up for grabs is my CAE 3+. It´s the original non-SE version from 1991-92, as used by Megadeth and Steve Lukather among countless others, and it looks, works and sounds great. A bit of rash up top, but nothing major. It´s a killer preamp, but I have other amps that work better for me and...

    WTB Europe: Vintage Revolution PedalPro MIDI

    Hi guys, I´m on the lookout for a PedalPro with MIDI. Drop me a line if you have one you´re thinking about parting ways with, and I´m sure we´ll get a deal done :thumbsup: /David

    New power amp day: VHT 2150

    In all my rack days I never had one of these, and I've been on the lookout for one on and off for a year or two. And well, here it is in all its purple glory :yes: It´s an export model from 1990, a fairly early one but after they went over to KT88s. I actually haven't played it yet because I...

    Hi guys! I´m looking for a 2150 or possibly a 2100, so if you have one you´re thinking of selling drop me a line and we´ll get a deal done ;) I´m thinking it´s easiest if it´s in the EU, but from outside could be interesting too depending on price. Thanks for looking! :thumbsup: /David

    Can anyone give me the lowdown on VHT Pittbulls?

    Hi guys, does anyone have a quick rundown of all the different VHT Pittbull models? There seem to be a ton of them and they all look really similar: Classic 50/ST Hundred/CL Fifty/CL Ultra-lead Hundred/CLX One hundred The 45 and the 30 at least seem to be a very different thing with the EL84...

    SOLD

    Hi guys, I´m putting my Boogie up for grabs. It´s a monster of an amp but I have other amps that I use more and I don´t want to keep everything around just for the sake of it. What we´re looking at is a blue stripe Coliseum with EQ, reverb, Simul-class and euro power. All in all a bit of a rare...

    NGD! Valley Arts California Pro

    I actually got my hands on this one a few months ago, but it was in a state of neglect and I´ve been bringing it up to speed again an hour here and an hour there. Anyway, this is a California Pro which was a limited run back in 1989. They supposedly made 100 of them, even if there´s no...

    Soon to be NAD: Rivera TBR1

    I had one of these beauties years ago and have always regretted selling it. They´re kind of rare here in Sweden, I only think I´ve seen one out for sale except my old one since 2010, so when this popped up for a fair deal I decided to give it a second shot. It´s a standard from about 1989...

    Any opinions on the Demeter TGA-2 Inverter?

    Hi guys, an ad for one of these just caught my eye and I figured I´d look into it some more. Demeter hasn't made much a splash over the years compared to the more well-known names, and much of the stuff you can find is about the TGA-3 or TGP preamp, so there really isn't a ton of info going...
