I watched for a while before joining in like '04. Great times, and a lot of fun was had in their OT/political forum, too. :D And I remember the epic EVH thread and the hardtail women. :D Lots of good people, and I was glad to meet some and hope everyone is doing well now. ?
Man, I literally haven't posted in several years, but I'm very sorry to hear about Steve. And I'm sorry to hear what you've gone through but am glad you were able to message with him and are recovering. I wish you and also his family and friends the best.
Peavey Classic 120 in my case, though I also liked running it into the low gain input of my old '78 JMP with the JMP's own gain turned down, as well.
As an aside, years ago I found information on this and a couple other forums regarding mods for the Rockmaster. The only problem was that the...
The free stuff LePou, Poulin, etc. with a good cab sim is great for heavier music. I hear the LE456 has a nice clean channel, but I haven't tried it yet.

I think there may be a misconception regarding the type of tone being about the AxeFX making it that way. This style of music strives to get that type of tone -- very tight and 'quick.' They'll try for that regardless of what gear is being used. Also, I believe if the playing was sloppy it'd...
I was a teen in the '80s and love the punk, metal, thrash, and even some hair metal and new wave from the generation, but I also like the newer seemingly djent-ish inspired music.

I think too much is made about the tone, as well -- not that it wasn't a great tone, because it was, and his playing style and tone worked together perfectly. But IMO it's not difficult to attain a good approximation of the tone nor important to really have that tone down unless playing in a VH...
Agreed. But sometimes a new piece of gear can inspire both the player to spend more time playing as well as how the person plays and can even inspire other band members. That said, my best amp is a 6505+ through an '80s Carvin 412 cab, and my main guitars are MiM Fenders and an Epi LP. But it...
IMO it's very easy to get caught up in hype with a lot of amp gear. A good guitarist can plug into a 10" solid state combo amp with a decent clean and gain channel and do everything he needs with it with the exception of maybe a few fx. Admittedly, though, that same guitarist will likely sound...
I think that was the one I had on 8-track, too, and I hated it because the 8-track player was messed up and I couldn't get it to stop playing multiple songs at the same time. :D
A bit after Kiss went disco, I ended up flinging all my Kiss records out of my second story apartment like frisbees at cars driving by. I was definitely a punk back then and deserved to lose the cooler older albums.
