I didn't have any size issues. I did spend some time getting the height right.
I tried one other pickup in the neck. Bridge has never changed.
Install was maybe a hour.
Taper on the volume pot is good. Push- pull pots for the single coil is useful for me.
I was basically replacing all the...
I have had a few amps hand built and was around when a few amps when they were voicing the prototype.
There is absolutely a break in. The sound and feel changes. Seemed to me the biggest change was in the first few hours.
They should of hired James Alan Hetfield to demo the reissue. Randall Smith was right. They can't make a IIC+.
The real issue is obvious. None of these people know how to make a amp video.
I pretty much only buy NMV amps. I have not bought anything high gain since 2008. I still have a few of these amps. I bought them in the 80's and 90's. I haven't seen anyone play this type of stuff in about 25 years.
Last time I listened to Metallica was 1989.
Each slider is +/- 10 dB. The level knob is 6 dB of boost. I tend to fine tune so the range works well for me.
I have not tried it in front of the amp yet. But don't usually boost that much dB.
These two are okay at best. Easier to watch than Glen. I don't think very many people play heavy guitar anymore. I quit decades ago. I don't know anyone that still plays that stuff. There must be other people that could do a video for this amp ?
Almost a year later the Ibanez PTEQ came in yesterday.
So I sent a few hours with the PTEQ in the effects loop of my Fryette Sig X and Les Paul with Seymour Duncan Distortion and 59 with split coil.
So far really liking it. Not a lot of noise with high gain. Controls have plenty of room around...
