Hi guys looking to buy a Mesa Mark IV head. Cash or I have a single rectifier (series 2/flight-cased/great condition) I can PX if wanted. Or if you are looking at his add i'll sell it for £850 posted/delivered on its own. Get in touch Pete

Instead of posting pictures of my rig in the rig thread, I went ahead and made a new rig video since I re-racked my Mesa. I used my main PGM (man, I just never get tired of that guitar) and also I don't play any of my band's rediculous heavy metal since I figure I never get any kind of response...

So my band is finally back on track recording our new album (this has taken way too long, after being on touring heidus and moving our studio) but i've been tracking with my PGM301 through my Mesa Mark III and man it sounds awesome! I've got it dialed in for a sharp IIC+ tone that's killer! Just...

So I picked up a Blue Icicle USB to XLR preamp yesterday (mainly for Skype and Youtube videos) and thought i'd give it a whirl here. It took a while getting the miv positioned just right and the gain trimmed out right. It's super hot with condensers and very weak with dynamics, but works...

Hi!! GAS is there and I'm thinking about buying a new head... the ENGL SE670!! yes! the ultimate head for me ;) But I'm hesitating netween the 6L6 and the EL34 versions I'm currently playing on a H&K Trilogy head with EL34... I like its sound but I want something more aggressive... What is...

What do you guys figure is the best amp/rig for $1000 or under? I'm currently using a Pod XT with an Atomic Reactor amp, and it's pretty sweet, but it never hurts to hear what else is out there. Note: I play metal/hard rock, so keep that in mind when you make any recommendations please...

I have a Flextone III 1x12 combo, and it's cool, ...but I guess I just want to find out what a tube amp is all about. The curiosity is just killing me so I want to get myself a good tube amp on a budget and, well, see if I can tell the difference, see what all the hype is about, see if I've...

i bought this from a forum member here (check my trading point on here) back in the summer and decided that i need a better amp more than this guitar. Even though it is one of the best feeling/sounding/looking guitar i've ever had, i've always had a thing for Flying V's. comes with Ibanez...

Long story short dude backed out on the Mark III trade so this beast is back on the block. For Sale: Series 1 Rectoverb in GREAT condition with Footswitch and Extra set of Powertubes $850 shipped OBO Or I'd like to trade for: -Rack setup (pre/power/rack) preferably all tube, but throw me an...

Hey guys. For the past few months, i've been searching for a new amp to upgrade from my MG10cd (i don't need to say that it's bad). I've played a bunch of amps, and apparently have progressed extremely well for being self taught for 8 months, and taking lesson for the past 2. So, seeing as how i...

I'm interested to know how many of you playing small venues (typical pub etc) mic up your guitars and basses through the PA. I coming from a sound quality perspective rather than volume.

hey guys, sorry im obsessed about knowing the extremeties of everything (RE: my pickup thread). so what is the highest gain amp? Power, volume, quality of distortion e.t.c

Ok. I'm friends with guys in Fuel. They played locally last night. Which was the BEST show I've ever seen them do. Was freaking amazing. If you 'like' Fuel at all. You will want to catch their live show. They are one of those band that sound BETTER live than on the disk, and have a great show...

Hey, whats up? Here is the deal, i have the chance to take a single rectifier head for 1000E(about 1200$),or a tsl 100 half stack (1960 lead cabin 4x12 included) for 1500E(1750-1800$),all used, i wanna shred sound, what is the best for me? HELP me plz... The rectifier is too cheap and in very...

Hey guys, I have a Mesa Mark III Head and I've been playing it out of a Marshall Lead 1960 4x12 cab. I have been really interested in buying a Boogie Halfback Cab to match my Mark III since they sound superb with the head (not to mention they look BA together ;) ). I'm looking for either the...

I ordered my JSX a couple months ago, but there was a back order. I got it a week ago. Before I bought it, I took my cabinet, by pedal board and my Prestige 2620 in the the music store to demo the amp. I spent about half hour at different volume levels and all different tone settings. The 120...

What is the best amp for Metallica metal & classic rock for a band? We play in bars. I like combo amps the best, but I'm willing to reconsider. I have a Marshall JCM2000 100watt combo 3 channel. I'm thinking about selling it, if I can find the ULTIMATE. Maybe I already have it.

I'm going through a major rig downsizing... I've taken a gig playing bass, so this is a lot more guitar gear than I need for jamming around in my basement. Hughes & Kettner Triamp II -- 6 channel amp with 9 preamp tubes and 4 EL34's for 100w, MIDI switching module installed (+ spare module...

Just wanted to ask if everyone here in the forum uses tube amps if you don't and use solid state let me know why and what manufacturer you are using. Was your decision based on tone, clean and drive channel or other. All information would be great. Armando

Was in the local Guitar Center this weekend and spotted an RG770 that looked like it was dragged behind a car on the way to trade it in (alla The Hills have Eyes opening scene). It had a nearly $600 price tag on it, but I thought that can't be right. I figured it would be good for parts so I...
