    Can anyone help me with what effects are in photograph live intro by Def Leppard?

    Hey all, I have been learning this song and I am obsessed with the intro tone for the rhythm. I know that they played live through Marshalls, but can you offer some advice for what effects they may have been using for that rhythm tone that could get me close? It's just ridiculously wide and...

    Can anyone help me identify this tube?

    Marshall 1987x

    Hi all, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to this amp as well as David Bray for modding it for me. In case anyone is on the fence about having him mod one of your amps, man, don't hesitate. Great guy, and the end product sounds amazing. This is "Mod I" on his website with the volume dial...

    Question on tube types. Wing C SED EL34 to replace stock tubes

    Hey guys, quick question. I bought a used 5150 50w EL34 amp a while back and retubed it because the noise started cutting in and out after like 3 days. I replaced all tubes including the power tubes to EL34IIs. They are great. I wanted to get a backup pair of standard EL34 tubes just in case...

    2x12 preamp out to separate 1x12. Is this stereo?

    Hi, Question for you on this would work and be safe or if something would blow up. I have an evh 2x12 6l6 combo. If I were to hook an instrument cable up to the "pre-amp" out and then hook that into the effects loop return of my el34 amphead (which goes to a 1x12 cab), would that work and...

    Question on TC Electronics Sentry Noise Gate

    Hi, Could be a dumb question but, I am now using my TS808 before the amp to boost the blue channel of my amp. That creates a little bit of hiss and sometimes a high pitch screech if I leave my guitar sitting on the stand. I've tried using the sentry before but I guess I just never dialed it in...
