Here's the demographics so far: What is interesting is that the bell curve sits around 1970 - people who would have been in high school during the mid to late 1980s, rather than who may have been performing in bands (outside of high school garage bands) during the 1980s. Is this forum more...

Indeed it is:

When were those .50 DC Calibres made? I feel like they were from some kind of 'in-limbo' lost period? Were they released around the same time as the Rectifiers?

Yep that's right. Mesa/Boogie Mark series for the Clean & Crunch. Marshall for the Crisp, in between.

Listening to this video, I'm wondering if my use of chorus effects with high gain distortion is to get that "scowl"-like swirling vocal effect in the sonic texture.

Those things are seriously awesome. You done well.

I regret selling a Mesa/Boogie 'traditional' 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s. I will buy another in the future when I can afford it again.

Hmmm! I lurk on TGP here and there, more often just reading threads. I noticed earlier on you're from Australia. I'll miss seeing your posts. I cannot see many others from Oz apart from a member called Shane8 who just posts silly stuff in The Pub forum, and I think he lived over in Texas for a...

I have not posted or even read much of any forum over the last few months. Only popped in last month I think or a week or so ago briefly. I am sorry I missed this and sad to read about Steve's passing. Good to see his Downfall parody featuring the CCV! That's hilarious!

I love just plugging straight into my old Marshall JCM 800 and cranking it up, then rolling down the guitar's volume for clean sounds. It's great on its own. But it doesn't work as well when playing alongside a channel switching amp as a wet/dry setup or stereo. It doesn't seem to dovetail the...

I have a solid state amp head (actually a JVC hifi stereo amp) that I'm wondering about converting to all-valve. But then I wondered if I could just take a line-level signal from it and use that to push a Mesa/Boogie 50:50 50 watt valve power amp into "high gain" distortion, thrash metal levels...

I'm thinking of doing a weird wet/dry/wet/dry thing with my 4x12 by wiring up each speaker to its own socket/jack. Two speakers will be run by one amp (8 ohms per side) as the 'dry' signals. The other two are the 'wet', but one speaker has a signal that is 90% wet/10% dry, and the other is 10%...

My friends' band have released a new music video to promote their album, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtDgT96G4NE (P.S. I'm not sure what amps they are using at this stage) (EDIT: I posted the wrong video!)

My amps have been in storage for almost two years, so I've barely got the chance to play them. They are now in a small room where I have moved to, so I get to play them more often. And I've noticed that the power amp of the MarkIV seems a bit lacking. The preamp valves are fine as I tested the...

I have an angled Marshall 4x12 cab that I'm thinking of cutting up with a bandsaw to make a 2x12 cab. I'll likely just use the bottom half, with the remaining pieces used to patch up any gaps. Also I'll put in new grille cloth. Is that worth doing? Or will it "sound odd" from all the extra...

I tried searching the forums but nothing seemed to show up... Anyway, I feel like I should know this already but I don't. Is there any major discernable difference between running a particular guitar amplifier at 8 ohms or 16 ohms? Is it a larger factor when using the amp into a 4x12 cab...

After wondering for a fair while about selling speakers or making fancy guitar speaker cabs, I'm thinking of building a basic 2x12 combo amp with a pair of WGS ET-65 8ohm speakers I have leftover from a 4x12 cab that got busted up while moving interstate (sadly the insurance stuffed me around)...

More awesome covers from the mighty GuitarRazze. Why can't he be Metallica's guitar tech? mh-ZcxjE9zM I hate how their guitar tone now has this flat 'clangy' sound to it. I can't work it what it is that is ruining it. It's not a distorted "kerrrrang" sound like often described here with a good...

Spit out the Bone instantly became my favourite song from Metallica's Hardwired...to self-destruct album. The thrashiest of the lot and sounds huge. :rock: I heard the rhythm guitar track on its own and trying to work out what amp/s it is: _8uifUWzAd0 To me that seems to have a Marshall...
