Going on a gas spree tonight. Probably going to come home with a new amp. If you can guess what I purchase before I get back online tonight, I'll mail you a used Boss Metal Zone. One guess per person!

After purchasing an Ibanez SV5470F I've come to the conclusion that a new amp is in order. Playing mainly Death Metal. Recommendations/reviews would be appreciated. Thanks

How many of you guys use a Preamp and Power amp instead of just using a combo or head. Do you feel there are any advantages to this setup? I am always interested in alternative ideas...

Hi i'm gonna order a customized/personalized tube amp soon, the maker is asking me what type of amp do i want to "COPY" and i said i don't know anything about tube amps but i want a clean sounding amp for versatility(he recommends the Fender twin). Now after reading some forums, some say that...

I was reading some of the "What Amp should I buy" or "What distortion pedal" topics and had a thought. How important is tone to some people and will you pay extra to get it? What I have seen is people will spend a lot on a guitar then run it through a crappy amp THEN buy another expensive...

So I have 4 guitars now.. 4 Ibanez guitars (2 old roadstars, an S470, and my first prestige S5470). I love them for metal, and ive built my whole rig around my band for the last 5 years which is modern metal. However, I also love straight up rock. Now that I have my S prestige, my mesa dual...

This amp looks soo awesome. I've always had a thing for VHT's if I could afford it and if it was practical I'd definatley have an Ultra-lead Pitbull it's probly my favorite amp that I ever played through. I've been really interested in the Sig X because it's a little bit cheaper and you can...

I am currently mulling over the possiblilty of trading in my mesa dual rec half stack for a Bad Cat Hot Cat. It is a very "alive" sounding amp, excellent cleans and a wonderful bright, but not harsh high gain sound. I just want to see what some of the rest of you feel about this amp or any Bad...

so, with my government rebate, im finally buying a quality speaker cabinet like ive been talking about doing for awhile. got my dream metal guitar (S prestige), got one of my two dream metal amp heads(dual rec...the other one i dont have being a Soldano), the main piece missing is a top of the...

Good Pickup for Metal? I need some help finding a good bridge pickup for my Ibanez, I need something that has a high output, but isnt muddy. I tune 1 1/2 steps down. I was thanking about a Seymour Duncan Invader. does anyone know anything about this pickup.

Hi, I thought it would be interesting to have a thread that's entirely dedicated to overdrive and distortion, in which you can share info about which pedals you prefer and why, how you've managed to get the sound you searched through the use of your pedals, etc. etc. It might be a cool thread...

yea i know the title is very random, but i'm searching for a 5150/mark3 kinda sound... and i allready got a mesa dual so i was thinking of getting a new preamp to try out some other distortions... any suggestions?

I started writing this long, long ago but I never finished it. It has been sat on my hard drive for ages, but I figured someone somewhere might benefit from this information. So here it is... incomplete, but probably quite useful? I don't know. Maybe I'll finish it one day. STRING TENSION...

I have decided to change my amp situation and condense my Mesa Dual Rec, and F-30 down to just a Mesa Road King. To do that I need to sell off some gear. I don't have a lot to say about this item its a freaking amazing little amp, and loud as hell. Condition is near mint, and I would give it a...

I thought this would be a funny thread. I just spent an hour trying to remember everything i had and what i still have. It's bad, i have a horrible memory. It runs in the family. Also, i have a large collection at my young age. However, i thought i'd be worth a few yucks if everyone shared a...

Hey Jemsite, I got one more show off thread before i hang my hat for the week. Yes, that's right - i'm hinting that i might be showing off some more later, but that's of little important. Ever since i joined jemsite, i've taken what used to be a simple obsession with the Jem 7vwh and...

Well I got bored and my pal at the local store got a switchblade. So I thought I run over with my JEM and try it for a bit, since during the holidays the store is dead anyways ;) Features: Ok this baby is packed with features. 4 Channels and built in effects (Reverb, Delay, Modulation - Flanger...

Has anyone tried these? I am thinking of getting the AD30VT-XL. I haven't had a chance to try one yet, but some of the samples on the Vox website are really good.
