Yesterday my new Marshall 1936V 2x12 cabinet arrived so I could finally plug my new DSL50 head in and turn it up. I'm not great with reviews but basically it sounds awesome especially when cranked up! The clean channel is very nice for a Marshall, and for my overdrive I'm using the Lead 1...

http://www.bbesound.com/products/stomp_boxes/FreqBoost/index.asp Anyone have experience with these pedals? I'm looking for a kind of Brain May/Queen kind of solo tone and I'm wondering if this pedal will work for that purpose? I would probably end up using it only as a solo boost so would it...

I'm going to get a APH-1 for the neck of my Les Paul for that Slash neck solo tone. But I need help finding a bridge pickup that would go well with it. I'm looking for something with a nice crunchy sound that could do anything from rock to Iron Maiden style metal. Would the APH bridge model do...

I need help with this. I'm looking at getting a Spider II head. It's 150 watts and I'm wondering what cab I can use with it. I was reading online that the Line 6 Spider II mkII 4x12 cab can handle 150 watts but I'm not sure if it would be able to be used with the head. Even though it says it can...

I finally got myself a new Fender American Strat! Olympic white, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. It came routed for H/S/H so I could easily put some humbuckers in. I replaced the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Super Distortion and put a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the neck position. The...

Hey I've been looking for a new amp for quite a while now and had always been thinking of getting the Marshall 1987x head but I thought that it might not be suitable for heavy metal. As I've mentioned before in other posts I'm not looking for an amp with huge amounts of gain, just something that...

I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if this amp would be suitable for playing heavy metal. Not any of the really high-gain stuff, but how well would it work for bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth etc? I have a Spina modded SD-1, what difference would that make if I put it in front of the amp...

Right I'm looking for a tube amp in the £300-600 price range, and have come across these two Marshalls: http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=283 and http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=276 I want an amp that can be used for a small gig but can also be played in my...

I was looking at the online version of the manual for this amp on the Marshall website and it talks about being able to use both channels of the amplifier at once for greater flexibility. Here is the quote from the site: "Some guitar players prefer to mix the two channels together by connecting...

I'm looking for some info on this pedal. Here's a link to it from Musician's Friend: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/151115/ I've read a lot of reviews with people saying it gives them a great distorted tone or whatever. But I'm wondering, does it give you a...

For sale is a Marshall JMP-1 MIDI Pre-amp in excellent condition. I am not the original owner. However, I have never used it. I bought it planning to use it along with a power amp and cabinet, but since then I have decided to abandon the rack idea and go for something different, so this amp is...

All right I've been looking around a website at two guitars I've always wanted - an SG and a Les Paul. But I don't have the money to get Gibson ones so I would like some opinions on these Epiphone guitars of the same style: SG style: SG 1 SG 2 SG 3 Les Paul style: Les Paul Obviously I'll...

Does anyone have a Marshall 9200 they would like to sell? If you do, post a message here or PM me please. Thanks.

Does anyone know what distortion pedal the guitarists from Iron Maiden use as a boost for solos? I've heard that in the early 80s, Dave used a MXR Distortion + and Adrian used a TS-9 Tubescreamer? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks if anyone can help me out.

I've been debating for a while now whether to get a Floyd Rose and I was just wondering if someone could tell me the good and bad points of them? Thanks for any help.
