Dude I cant even get past using the 1st gain knob on the hell razor, I wouldn’t even dream of using a boost on the HR lol

But no I do not have a Koko boost, I just have the Friedman buxom boost which I’ll turn on every now and then for fun

bro when i'm ready, i'm going to buy one of every mic the store has lol...but don't know when that'll be because i dont even have enough time to practice guitar let alone start looking into microphones lololol...someday!

interface is apollo twin that i've had forever...it keeps turning on so i keep using it lol

i'll send the line out from the powerstation and try with various IR's. Won't be any effects on the clip so that will help lol

Not sure if it’s an import duty tax but there is I believe a tax for guitars not manufactured in the USA. Someone else just ran into this when importing a made in USA Fender guitar that required that reasoning to file paperwork at customs to get their tax removed. Not sure if you will get hit since the donor amp isn’t based in the USA.

Maybe I am missing something but the amp is just being shipped back. You paid for a service? Why should it be taxed?
Click to expand...

so a couple of things that i've learned this morning:

1. if the amp was manufactured in the US, no import duty (according to HH, his mesa mods dont' incur a duty going back into the US)

2. if i already owned the amp, potentially no import duty but sort of a grey area

3. in my case, i purchased the amp from Henric before the mod work began and it was also manufactured outside of the US...granted that occurred in the 80s lol, but definitely eligible for import duty

4. according to the HTS schedule though, the category of item that guitar amps fall into, there is no duty applied so while its eligible for duty imposition, a rate of 0% will(should?) result in no duty...

5. if you were to buy a service in an amp repair shop in the states, you'd get charged your local tax. when i get the amp through customs, they'll notify tennessee department of revenue and in some months/years i'll get a call from someone telling me i owe the state 9.25% of the total declared value lol. this happened to me in 2024...for guitars i bought in 2020 lololol!
