Greetings :) Apologies in advance for a long-winded post... I'm looking for someone with an Eleven Rack that is willing to help me program some presets, or share ones they have that work well for live use. I play rhythm guitar in a cover band and need a core set of tones that I can...

My first guitar was a 1962 Gibson SG Jr. I was a dumb ass and sold it. I've wanted another one since, but with the cost of "vintage" guitars going through the roof, I haven't been able to justify the expense. One that is identical to the one I had popped-up for sale a few months ago for $3,900...

The thread from "samtheman" reminded me of a question I wanted to ask. Or maybe I asked it before, but lost the brain cell the answer was stored on. Regardless... "Diming" an amp means that you turn the SOB all the way up, correct? All knobs on "10"? If so, how is that even possible? I don't...

Greetings :) Anyone here rock a Peavey Roadmaster back in the day? I had one and remember really liking it - but that was a long time ago and it could be that I was easily amused back then. If I remember correctly, the house lights would dim when you flippped the switch, it had 87 tubes and...

I need some advice on a 4x12 Marshall straight cabinet listed on the local Craigslist. The Tolex is rough, but there doesn't appear to be any major damage to the wood. The seller says it is a 1982 and has four Celestion Rola G12H 30-Watt speakers and that the cones are all intact with serial...

Greetings :) I need to pick up a snake and I'm looking for a 100', 32-channel, 8 return model - ideally, one with paralleled XLR and TRS on the returns. A snake like that is going to be a little pricey; I'd like to keep the cost down as much as possible but not at the expense of quality or...

Greetings :) I recently picked-up an empty Mesa Recto 4x12 cabinet. If I want to retain the functions of the stock jack plate (mono/stereo operation) what ohm speakers do I need to put in it? I assume, based on the short section of lead left on the jack plate that they were wired...

Greetings :) I recently bought a Yamaha MG32/14FX mixer that has an XLR connector for a gooseneck lamp. Unless I missed it, the manual doesn't provide the part number for the appropriate lamp. It does say that the lamp must be 12V (A/C or D/C) and 5W max. It also states that pins 2 & 3 should...

Greetings :) I love my RG770. By far, my favorite guitar. Granted, I don't have dozens to choose from, so singling one out is relatively easy, but it's the only guitar I ever bought that felt perfect out of the box. I've never adjusted anything on it - neck, bridge, spring tension - nothing...

I've had several tube amps, but have never swapped tube types to see what change in tone I might get. The gigging amp I have now (H&K Switchblade 100W) uses EL34's. So..... If I re-tube with EL34's, what brand would be a good choice? (H&K claims their tubes are thoroughly tested and matched and...

Greetings :) Well, I started the investment in the PA gear for our band. We still don't have a lead singer nailed down (friggin' hard to do around here...), but we'll need the gear when we start gigging and it wouldn't hurt us to step up the quality of the sound in the rehearsal space. Since...

Greetings :) Has anyone purchased and installed the update for the Eleven Rack? What I want to know is if the update is keyed or locked to an individual hardware device. I have two of them and would like to update them both - but would prefer not to purchase the update twice ;) Can I buy...

Greetings :) The lead player in my band has a stock JCM2000. During practice the other day, he switched to the clean channel and there was no volume. The only way to get volume out of the clean channel was to dial-up the reverb (e.g. - the reverb level seems to be acting like a clean channel...

Greetings :) The cover band project that I am working on is essentially starting from scratch when it comes to PA gear and we need to invest in equipment. We are scouring all the typical sources for used gear but haven't found anything suitable and may have to buy a lot of the equipment new...

Greetings :) What can you tell me about the Vintage Modern 2266? Would this be a good choice for a gigging amp for a typical bar band playing covers of 80's and 90's rock tunes? I love my rack setup, but it's a beast to transport for bar gigs. I'm looking for another rig that is a little...

Greetings :) I'm starting to wire the pedals on the pull-out shelf in my rack. Obviously, there will need to be some slack in the cable bundle to allow the shelf to be extended. I have some ideas on how I can handle this, but wondered what those of you who have done it would suggest. Any tips...

Greetings :) Anyone have any experience with the Ibanez RG350M guitars? I have an RG770DX that I love, but I don't necessarily want to gig with it. Granted, it's not a $2K Prestige, but it is flawless and it would be nice to keep it that way. The RG350M is very similar (it has the RG body...

Greetings :) I plan on installing the pedals listed below on a shelf in my rack and connecting them to a GCX Switcher. Although I don't know what brand or model, I will also be installing some sort of "Boost" pedal to use as a clean volume boost for leads. I need some help deciding what order...

Greetings :) I'm getting ready to mount my effects pedals on the sliding shelf in my rack. Velcro seems to be the most common attacment method, but I've seen other approaches - some clean and tidy, others, not so much. I've also noticed that when people sell effects pedals, some buyers shy...

What's your take on the MXR EVH Flanger? Like it? Hate it? Just wondering how many use it and what the consensus is... Thanks :rock:
