This 100%. Randy's tunes were some of the first I learned on guitar, and what helped me fall in love with playing. And wanting to be like him is why my degree's in music. Not a fan of his tone though. Even the better samples of his live tone, just aren't my taste. I'll still boost my mids all...

I love listening to Matteo play, but I don't think he's got the unique vocabulary/style of an EVH or a Holdsworth, or at least not yet. He seems pretty squarely in the jazz/fusion camp, sprinkled with blues, and the occasional nod to Holdsworth. He's a very expressive, soulful player though...

Mods are made from leftover parts of other mods. Errybody know that.

I used 5/4 oak. Nothing exotic really, I just wanted the extra thickness to anchor the screws.

Dude actually did a respectable job singing. Guest vocalist, cover tune, reading the lyrics, and Les missing the transition to the solo, makes me think this might not have been something that was rehearsed much. Otherwise, total hack move to be reading lyrics on stage. At least he seemed to be...

Having Feldman for your opener is kinda like co-hosting a cooking show with Gary Busey. You know to expect ridiculousness, but you're not really sure if it's an act.

I never really thought of Satriani as a shredder, at least in a post-Malmsteen sense. Sometimes the Vai-esque acrobatics (and emoting) gets a little old. He definitely has some chops though and has a distinctive voice and style, and he's managed to make a living doing it. It doesn't really...

Tell him "It's okay, I'm using a 120w speaker cable". That'll blow his mind.

Pre-war Ei Yugo is my go to for V1. It's hard finding ones that aren't microphonic though, so they go in the PI when they are. Otherwise Sovtek LPS.

They can avoid charging sales tax if their total annual sales in a given state is below a certain threshold, and each state decides what that threshold is. Some states just go by total sales, and others factor in the number of transactions.

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't get picked up by another company. I think they're more prominent in other parts of the world. It's hard to guess thought whether a prospective buyer would keep the company going, or if they'd just want the name, IP, and a few other assets like that.

+1 for getting an NFB control. I asked for that and a 3-way bright switch when they built my 2203. Sometimes you might want more or less of one or the other, depending on where you set the gain and the MV. Tons of flexibility. Their JCM 51/101 seems along the lines of the Friedman JEL in terms...

It's what I use in my main rig, and it's worked great. I run my entire rig (100w tube head, 8u rack, and pedal board) from it. I've had it since 2017 or so.

All four of my tube rigs are 100-120w. I think I just like big iron, big bottle amps, and I'm partial to EL34s. I'm still only ever playing at club volumes or less though. An amp can be 100w and still be designed with a usable master volume. Pairing them with the right cab goes a long way too...

I used an NS2 for years before trying the ISP stuff, and eventually sticking with a Zuul. The NS2 worked just fine for me. There's a bit of coloration, but nothing you can't address by tweaking your EQ. IIRC I needed to add back some of the highs.

Or with the McRib, where the most special thing about it is the artificial scarcity. McLarry?

I love whatever effect Dave Murrey uses when soloing on some of Maiden's slower and moodier sections. A little modulation on clean tones, like the intro to "Hey You" by Pink Floyd as well. That, or a full-on Steal Away/Unchain the Night flanger tone, lol.

Headfirst Alta. Channel switcher, covers the landscape of British tones I like with lots of flexibility, dual masters, effects loop, NFB and Depth controls, MIDI for switching channels and voicing options, big iron EL34, smaller builder with integrity. Current production, not unobtainium, but...

Meh. Not something I'd buy, but I don't see an issue with Kiesel doing this as long as they're not infringing on IP. I doubt they'd do it if there wasn't a market for it.
