I played a handful of LP and SG Moderns back in 2019 at a local shop near me that gets lots of nice Gibsons. I was super excited to check them out and really wanted to like them, but I didn’t dig them at all. They looked and felt cheap - the fit and finish was subpar, wobbly pots, didn’t...

The MCP Garuda would be a good candidate.

Who's going to be the first to get one and send it to Mesa for the "++" mod? lol

I like them, but they are amp dependent and you have to watch the top end. The also seem rather sensitive to mic placement. I really dig them with my Carsten Grace & Plexi. They’re also cool with my EVH Stealth, but ultimately I like that amp better with V30’s.

I’ve only played the Warpig from that list. The alnico one is definitely thick. A bit round as well. I didn’t love it. I’d honestly lean towards the ceramic version. It’s thick enough, but has more tightness and cut without being harsh. It’s an “on all the time” sort of pick up in regards to its...

Isn’t there something different going on with the preamp section of these? I think I recall reading it was digital.

YO!

Honestly, you have tons of options. Some that come to mind are the MCP 2nd Degree Black Belt and WCR Icebucker (maybe a Godwood since he doesn’t make the Icebucker any more and they’re supposed to be similar) in that beefed up PAF range. If you want a bit more heat, the PRS Metal or Tremonti...

They stopped putting 4x12’s on their site a few years ago. I contacted them after that at one point and he said the still built them. Not sure if that’s still the case though.

That sounds great! Sounds thick, but still sounds tight, quick, and percussive.

I have heard about that 90 day window, but I just found this. Did Reverb recently change it or is there some other fine print stuff I’m missing? https://help.reverb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031426954-How-do-returns-work-for-buyers-on-Reverb?segment=buying

Another Bogren vote from me. There is definitely some post eq on them, but I feel like these have a more natural and open top end than a lot of others.

Yeah I've felt for a while that Marshall could really clean house with putting out some sort of Jose or other type of modded style amp. Like you say, they're the platform. Plus, there is so much info already out there that they wouldn't even have to start from scratch lol. Heck you'd think...

Yeah I’m not sure what they were going for with the re-recorded ones. I was actually taken aback when I heard them lol.

I dig phasers. Hard to beat the MXR EVH. Sounds killer. Flangers can be hit and miss for me, but I love the FoxRox TZF2. It can be subtle or extreme with the whole through zero thing. Just a killer pedal all around. My new favorite modulation pedal, though, is the Jam Pedals Retrovibe mk3. I’d...

If the guitar didn’t have neck dive before, it will now lol.

Zach did a good job as usual. I always dig his demos. I have both a Grace and Empire. You can tell they’re made by the same set of ears so to speak, but they’re pretty different as well. Both amps are stripped down feature wise, but they each have more tones on tap than you’d expect with their...

As weird as that sounds, it has to do with the way it functions. They are supposed to provide a constant 120v +/- 5v, and it shifts to different taps based on the incoming voltage. This sometimes results in what you're experiencing - a slightly higher than 120 wall voltage getting bumped up...

That looks killer! I’ve only played one Luxxtone, but it left a positive impression. Sounded and felt great. Couldn’t fault it. I’d love one some day.

The MCP 2nd Degree Blackbelt and WCR Icebucker are two pickups in the PAF wheelhouse that can do the fast and hard down picking great without falling apart. Particularly the Icebucker since the 2dbb has a bit more low end. I’m not sure if WCR still makes the Icebucker, but supposedly the Godwood...
