So, after weeks of googling speakers, I´m getting tired of this.. I´m still looking for a speaker to match a Weber 10F150T in my SF Vibrolux. Seems like lots of people like the Ragin Cajun, and it really is a tempting speaker, being cheap and easily available over here in Europe. But how is...

I have a ´76 SFVR, which has sounded kindof dull and lifeless for sometime now - I tried to change tubes, have it biased to run hotter, change caps, nothing worked. Then I noticed a Weber 12F150-T for sale in my local shop and decided to try how it would affect the amp if I tried it instead of...

I got this beautiful ´76 Vibrolux, and recently it has showed a strange symptom. When playing the ´vibrato´-channel, there´s been random drops in output volume. Sometimes it fades out almost completely, and sometimes so that it´s barely noticeable. I haven´t noticed any problem with the...

I just got my beautiful ´76 Vibrolux Reverb back from my tech, it´s in good-as-new shape both from the out - and the inside and the sound is beautiful. The only thing that bothers me is that it runs pretty damn hot. Now I trust my tech 100% but how hot are these things supposed to run...

Yes! After a long time of of searching I finally found a ´76 Vibrolux in mint condition (well the pilot light needs to be changed) for a decent price! I tried it for approximately 10 seconds and I was sold on the sound.. This one really has TONE. Not shrill by any means even with the bright...

...I´m kinda confused.. I recently bought a new pedalboard and a new powersupply. It´s really convenient in size etc, and for a while I was one happy camper. But suddenly al of my pedals with true bypass have started to make a very loud ´pop´ when switched on. I don´t understand this, all the...

What´s the difference between an Bassman and a Bandmaster? ...apart from the tremolo, of course. And I´m particularly interested in information about blackface models. What´s the difference in sound, headroom etc? I may be buying a ´65 bandmaster, and I already have a ´64 bassman. Just...

I´m about to buy a ´75 vibrolux (or at least I´m offered one). A non-mastervolume non-pull-boost model. So now I´d like you guys to answer a few questions that came to mind. I´ve played one before, and I remember the clean headroom being quite limited. But then again the tubes on that one...

Finally... Me being reluctant to buy a POD (or any other of those digital wonders) finally paid off.. Found a used JD10 pretty cheap. I quickly tested it recording straight onto my computer (via a E-Mu 0404 sound card) and it sounds pretty good! Miles better from the V-Amp I had a while ago...

What are the three best od-pedals You´ve ever had or tried? Well the title just about says it. Just curious of what pedals do You guys use or what kindof tones are your preferred OD-sounds.. Here are mine 1) MI Audio Blues Pro. The best sounding, most versatile, amplike OD I´ve ever had. Can...

Well the title just about says it. I´ve been looking for a versatile 2x12 combo amp for a while now, and right now the winner seems to be the Dr.Z sr38. A great amp, not exactly very versatile but the way it handles pedals makes it pretty useful for almost any style of music. The EL84 crunch is...

So, I´d like comments on the pedal. I´m looking for a good fuzz pedal that could cover low-gain vintage-y fuzz sounds to Hendrix-y fuzz to more modern fuzz. So far the best I´ve found is the MI Audio G.I Fuzz but it lacks a bit in the vintage department. So how is the UFO? People seem to dig...

Got a chance to try out a Maz38 Senior (2x12) in a studio session and I must say I kinda liked it. A nice blend of Vox-ish and Fender-y sounds. I´ve never heard or played one before, and I´d like to hear some comments on the amp before the GAS gets unbearable. Oh and I think the sound clips on...

Been wondering this for quite a while. There´s plenty of both new and old, affordable 6l6 amps on the market. A good el34 amp is a bit more rare, but not impossible to find. But if You want an el84 - amp, it´s either a crap, chinese-made VOX reissue or a >2500€ boutique amp. Seems there´s...

With my new soundcard on it´s way I´ve decided to get a new recording preamp too. I´ve fed up with my el-cheapo V-Amp 2, and am thinking of getting something more decent this time around. I really don´t need the effects, so I´m looking for something else than a POD.. IMHO the pod´s effects are...
