    Was thinking of switching from ESP Horizon II to a Schecter brand...

    I own a ESP Horizon II and lately I've decided that it's time for something new. I'm from EU and I was really starting to look at Schecter guitars. I had my eye on the Schecter Hellraiser C1 FR Sustainiac mostly because of the sustainiac and the EMG pickup aswell as the guitar looks sweet red...

    Need to sacrifice gain in order to have less amp hum on distortion channel? :( help

    So bassically I have a gibson Lp and an Engl fireball its a monster really but like my previous amp it has hum on distortion channel. I know that its normal because its a tube amp but a lot of people on concerts use tube amps and when they gotta be silent for just one second for example because...

    Are there any good metal combo amps that are not so heavy (Weight problem)?

    I want to buy a good metal combo amp and I live in a house and basically in the first floor so I gotta take the stairs and they aren't very wide. So taking a 25KG Marshall DSL40C downstairs and upstairs is a problem for me! Was thinking of getting the Peavey 6505+ 112 combo since I see that it...

    Engl Thunder 50 vs Marshall DSL40c for metal/rock.

    I own the Marshall DSL40C and was thinking of replacing it with the Engl Tunder 50. I'm just looking for more metal sound but to still be able to play rock blues etc. So bottom line of this thread is what are your opinions on the Engl Thunder 50?

    Was thinking of buying a Les Paul Gibson but... they only sell the new models?

    I've read a lot about Gibson and uh I really like the Les Paul model more precisely the Standard ones and people are saying that the new models are really not worth it and that guitars are just worse and worse every year. So because the stores here only sell the new models of course I'm kinda...

    Can you get the sound of Hard Rock with an Engl amp?

    I was thinking of buying an Engl Fireball since it is on my budget and it looks like a total machine! But I'm wondering if I can get the sound of something like guns n roses type music on the engl amp.

    ESP with JB Neck/Invader Bridge?

    Would that work? I have the ESP Horizon II with JB/Jazz right and I find this Jazz pick up really THICK or DENSE especially basses and I would like a bit more brighter tone for solos that's FULL. I really only play metal sometimes rock aswell but pretty much. JB Seems really bright and I love it...

    Does anybody have SD Invaders in their ESP?

    I currently have JB/Jazz in it but I'm really leaning towards the invaders just because of the idol "Syn".... all though I still do not want his exact tone but you know what I mean perhaps. I just want to experiment a bit. I own the ESP Horizon II. People say that it's harsh I don't always play...

    DSL40C Speaker Swap from 70/80 to V30..?

    Absolutely hate this 70/80 I've had him for 2 years already but I've always thought that it's good for me but it's more and more disgusting just because of this treble and I don't like the tone basically. I was thinking of switching to V30. I have an ESP Horizon Floyd Rose guitar and I mainly...

    Thinking of switching from JB to Custom? (ESP Guitars, Bridge, Lead tone)

    Well JB's seem too bright for me or something don't know how to say really but It's just missing something by the way I'm a lead guitar player! I have an ESP guiatar and ehm I would describe JB's (bridge) the lead sound similar like the sound I'd get if I'd play really close to the bridge on the...
