    Best looking guitar pedal art/graphics or industrial design.

    "Bro, it's got a tube inside. Warms up the sound, just like a real tube amp. The premium price is totally worth it."

    NAD - Solid state hotness

    Re: NAD - Solid state hotness I think they started using them with the recording Master Of Puppets. Used the combo version on tour and then eventually incorporated the head version into their rack rigs. During the AJFA/Black Album tours they may have used the clean channel on their ADA preamps...

    Celestion releases new A type speaker

    Celestion has a stab at an American voiced speaker. :reporter: http://celestion.com/product/144/atype/ Marketed as a slightly relaxed/mellow alternative to the strident top-end "American" tones are known for. Not particularly high-powered at 50 watts. Also of interest is the 90th...

    New celestion V-Type speaker

    Been out for a few months now but seems to have mostly slipped under the PR radar. http://celestion.com/product/142/vtype/ Celestion's response to the criticisms of the V30 perhaps? By the official description sounds like it could be a less strident and more balanced V30, not unlike what...

    Overdrive pedal circuits built into guitar amps

    The Ibanez TSA15H amp with its built in Tubescreamer has got me thinkin'. There are lots of amps that are designed to simulate other amps in the one package, even modular ones such as the Randall RM series and the old Seymour Duncan Convertible. Plus there are the digital modelers with a...

    Slow and subtle vibrato/warble in a compact pedal?

    The Yamaha DG-Stomp multi-effects unit I have does a really sweet sounding warble when you tweak the Rotary Speaker Sim to an extreme setting. Problem is that you kind of have to "trick" the unit into making it sound that way by moving the depth setting to zero everytime you recall the...

    New Electro Harmonix products

    Freeze Neo Clone Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi Headphone Amp 44 Magnum Will probably get a Neo-Clone to replace my original clone. The Freeze looks interesting, apparently does the "gliss" effect that's on the HOG. The Germanium 4 is errr certainly BIG, like a lot of other EH pedals. The headphone...

    NGD! Fernandes Super Grade LP Copy (Lefty content)

    Well, not quite NGD, this arrived arrived on my doorstep all the way from Tokyo a few weeks ago: Made in Japan sometime in 90's. Almost mint condition. Stays in tune very well and the intonation seems to be fine. Still trying to adjust to the 24.75" scale length. I'm used to...

    New 5 watt head on the market: Blackstar HT-5

    With all recent buzz about low wattage amps now available, I'm surprised no one here has mentioned the latest offering from Blackstar: http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-5/ht-5h.html Reviews seem to be mostly positive, especially amongst people requiring serious gain for heavy playing...

    Using reverb in a band setting...

    Other than the obvious application for springy surf guitar, shoe-gaze, jamming by oneself in the bedroom, and in post-production, is it all that "practical" to use verb on electric guitar in a full rock-band situation? In my limited experience, I've found it to make my signal get lost amongst...

    Marshall ED-1 Edward The Compressor

    I've been flirting around with the idea of acquiring a compressor pedal. Not sure if it's something I would really use but I'm interested in messing around with a cheap one to create some Gilmourish, Knopfleresque, or funk vibes. The Barber Tone Press and Keeley comps look nice but a bit...

    Conflicting information about tube placement in Mesa Fifty/Fifty poweramp...

    Just received a pair of SED 6L6GCs from Dougtubes in the mail with the intention of re-tubing only channel A of my stereo Mesa poweramp. I only use it in mono operation so I figured that I would only need to replace two of the four tubes. On The Boogie Board, there's a thread about this exact...

    Tell me about the Schecter C-1 Blackjack.

    I'm currently tired with wrestling with my Jackson PS-4s lack of resonance, punch, sustain, cut, and the floyd rose setup I even need. I've changed the pickups many times and the sound has improved a bit but it still sounds like the same ol' guitar at the end of the day. Anywhoo, I think it's...
