Ohhh, I thought an op-amp was what happened when a tech legally change an amp over from tube to solid state  :-[

I guess that's a post-op-amp  ;D

I just REALLY need that EW tone and can't get it no way no how after further tweaking the Behr.

If he is using a Sound City 120 mk4 then no other amps are going to do that thing, because they have a unique and far from other amps preamp, its 3 band active eq, so a valve gain stage for each frequency band. Plus it sounds like he has an ECC83 in the PI slot instead of the ECC81 it should have. Not unlikely to have been tinkered with inside in other ways too.

Ah, good to know.
You left out the "if" in my post by the way.

Appluaded for NuBoogie love.  Post some clips if you can.  I'd love to hear some riffs out of that thing that aren't LoG and/or Petrucci worship.

I'm so calling my next band Log Worship.

New pedal day...Toneczar Vault fuzz. I've never heard low-end thump like this in a fuzz even in the octave up mode but especially in the middle mode. Tons of gain and really versatile tone shaping from swampy thick to crisp bite. The wait and price kinda suck because I like to buy two of the pedals I really like. My other pedals sound tiny and anemic by comparison but I'm still in honeymoon mode.

recently got a mxr carbon copy and just got the boss rv3 in today!

clockwork green

The carbon copy is great...I used to have two of them but I ended up liking the Malekko 616 a bit more for its crazy modulation. It's awesome that there are some really great low budget alternatives for analog delays today.

QuoteI had this amplifier professionally re-conditioned a few years ago and it has hardly been used since
It was re-wired and all new valves and components fitted and works very well as a result

Actually its a bodge mess inside with random valves and chained resistors.

i´m looking for a new guitar since my kasuga lp is busted.i would have to order it online though because there are no guitar stores in my area.
my budget is around 1000 dollars. i would get a gibson sg special 60´s tribute but i don´t want to be a victim of the infamous gibson quality control.i could get a 1980 yamaha sg 300 with a case for 790 euros (almost 1000 dollars) but i don´t know if i should jump on it ???
i´m basically looking for a double cut solidbody mahogany guitar, preferably with p90´s , good sustain and tuning stability.
any advice on trustworthy brands/models (available in europe ;) ) would be appreciated.

No man, I applaud you. Too many people think you need the $200 fuzz box, the $800 amp the $500 cab and the $600 guitar to rock out. Put those guys to shame, rock out your $500 setup and be proud of it.

Does that Randall have a speaker out? I'd look for a $50-75 4x12 for a full stack next  ;D

$70 Univox


dunwichamps

Posting this while Sunn Jake is at MDF so I don't have to hear him cuss me out about buying a new Gibson:

that lp makes me feel like ice cold colt 45s during miniskirt season
'yeah i can dig that'
who cares how  much that set you back
it exists

VOLVO)))

Dude, what the fuck? Those tuners better not be fucked up, hope that's just camera angle. if not, the only requirement to work in Gibson's QC department is blindness and the ability to drink tequila at work.

Must be the angle.  Nothing much wrong with it that I can tell.  I'm sure that you'll tell me what you find wrong with it.  ;)

It smells like heaven.

Nope. You said there's nothing wrong with it. I don't fix things that aren't broken.
