Good morning! I have a Black Winter bridge pickup out of my Schecter KM-6. The wiring coming out of the back of the pickup is not on the bottom right corner (if looking at the face of the pickup) but rather on the upper left. All my other SD pickups, neck and bridge have the wire coming out...

Good afternoon! I have been looking at some of the DIY amp kits and I am intrigued. I feel I have the skills to build one, but I was curious if any of you have, and what kinds of issues or anything you ran into? Thanks!

Good morning, back on the B52 AT-100. After playing it for a while, I decided to check the bias. It was WAY hot, got a reading of 218 MA. Instruction calls for 120. I backed the trim pot down allll the way and it is now at 167 ish. That is the sum for all 4 power tubes, if I understand the...

Good morning. I purchased an AT100 back in 2006, and never had an issue until 2013 or so (surprising, I know) I gigged with it, practiced with it, it traveled a lot. Reverb circuit went on it so I just disabled it, I never used it anyway. One day, I was playing and the sound just faded away...

Good morning! I have a Tweaker 40 head. It had a Mercury PT installed at a shop last year. I installed new power tubes and set the bias. The amplifier seems to be powerful, all the switches and knobs work fine but no matter what I do when playing with any sort of distortion it sounds like the...

Greetings! I have a Schecter KM-6 which comes with the Black Winter pickups, and while they sound VERY good, and the clarity is awesome, it just doesn't seem to have the beef that my Invader loaded guitar has. I was curious if anyone has seen a comparison of these two pickups, or if you have...

I know, I know. These heads are prone to issues BUT when working, it does sound pretty darn good! This isn't my main amp, in fact, it rarely gets used but since I have it laying around with some obvious issues, I figured I would tear into it and tinker some. The issue I have is that it will...

Anyone try one of these yet? I am very interested in getting one, and have seen the Keith Merrow videos, which are awesome as usual, but was wondering if you guys had tried one and if so how did you like it? Thanks!

Looking for an Invader bridge pup for a project. I prefer black but am flexible. Thanks! --Paul

Right now on a few of my guitars I get bad feedback from behind the nut on the guitar, which I remedy by stuffing a cottonball under the strings right behind the nut. I am sure I am not the only person who has this issue, but I was looking for something a little more... not so rigged looking...

I am curious if any of you have tried either of these two pickups with the modular preamp. If so, how did it turn out?

I have the Gus G set, I really like how the pickups sound. Is there a way I can use these with the triple shot rings somehow? I know they're technically passive pickups that use the divorced preamp, and I am aware that the triple shot rings utilize the 2 conductor wire to the control cavity. I...

I am looking to do another project guitar, the triple shots seem very interesting and versatile. Have any of you had good/bad experience with them? If so, do they come with the 2 conductor wire? Thanks!

Good morning everyone. I have come to the comclusion that Celestion Greenbacks sound the best in my ears for what I play. I tried out a friend's VOX NT2X12 cab, which has these and I love them. I would like to get a set of these for my 4x12 cab and have a question... How do I go about...

I have never messed around with slaving an amp before, and was curious about the process. I have a Peavey Bandit 112 solo series that sounds quite good but I can't crank it too loud or the sound gets grumbly. I have a B-52 AT-100 and a 4x12 cab sitting here, and was curious about what I would...
