So, I cut this picture out of the Mesa official launch video. From what I see on their web site there is only one model the 6V6 4:40, and it comes as either a 1x12 combo or a head. And it matches up with either the 1x12 or 2x12 cabs. Kinda of typical for Mesa packaging. And, in the...

Anyone have any insight into what "new collections" means in the context of Gibson's web site? They have a countdown timer going and in 13 days we are promised these "new collections". The weird thing is they have already released a bunch of 2019 models. See it here...

I started a thread a few weeks ago called Gibson's problem child, the "Double Cut" A fellow forum member posted an old Hamer guitar ad, which was fun. This made me think about Hamer Guitars, which I haven't for a long time. I had thought about buying one about 20 years ago, but never...

The Les Paul Standard is an icon, and while their are a few variations the basic guitar shape and layout is pretty standard. Perhaps as you'd expect for something called the Standard. Two volume knobs, two tone knobs, a toggle on the top, a Tune-o-Matic bridge. And most of the variations...

I have a very small pedal set up. Four pedals. This Maxon OD808 Overdrive , followed by an OCD, a Flashback delay and a Korg Pitch black tuner. The 808 is the senior member of the squad, he joined in the late 90's I'm guessing. The Maxon was modded by a fellow who does stuff like that, and...

I'm slowly coming around to focus on a 50 watt channel switching head as my next amp. I play basic roots rock on the Chuck to Iggy continuum. Something with a nice clean channel (like the Bassman RI) and a nice lead channel (like the JCM-800 combo), in a more handy separate head...

Re: Ron Wood's tour amps 2018? By the way, here is a full concert video of the Stones in Prague this summer: No Filter Tour 7/4/2108, Prague. I took this screen shot from it. These don't look like exactly the same amps pictured above, and I could not find a date for that shot. But these...

This shot comes from a Fulltone site that shows a lot of artists stage setups (obviously show-casing Fulltone products). Can anyone ID the amps? That site might be interesting to a lot of people here: https://www.fulltone.com/galleries/fulltone-artists-rigs-and-pedalboards-photo-gallery

Re: Mesa Triple Crown - 50W vs. 100W head (given the built in power reduction feature

I was at the almost-local music shop that carries Mesa and got to check out the Triple Crown. It seems very nice and versatility and has an absolute ton of sounds locked up inside it. The one they had was a 100 Watt head, which I tend to think of as more than I really need. The fellow...

Re: 2x10 in a Fender Supersonic 22 ? Thanks this was a very helpful response. I still have some research to do. I'm not a fanatic about the weight thing, my Bassman isn't too bad at 55lbs, what ever I did to a Supersonic it would be less than that. I do like the idea of 2x10...

Re: 2x10 in a Fender Supersonic 22 ? The blonde is quite attractive, and has two channels and an effects loop.

I was comparing the size of the Custom Virbolux Reverb and the Supersonic 22 and they are very similar in size. Custom Vibrolux Reverb Height: 18.13" Depth 9.63" Width 24.38" Weight 41.8 lbs. Supersonic 22 combo Height 17.5" Depth 8.5" Width 24" Weight 40 lbs. Has anyone tried...

Re: What's your favorite 4x12 cab, and why? I've never played a VHT / Fryette. They seem a little rare around here. For this fellow they made the perfect low-volume bedroom rig.
