Re: Tweed appreciation thread From some of the posts, I assume you are referring to tweed cosmetics vs. circuitry. Here is a picture of my 5e3 Fender clone head (by Boot hill Amps) with both tweed circuitry and cosmetics: For cosmetic tweed ONLY, I have a Fender BDRI with matching extension cab:

The issue with these Fenders as well as their DeVille counterparts is well known. They are loud amps and the vol. knob on the clean channel goes from "off" to "too loud" if you touch it. I've had one of Carl's Volume boxes for years and have always been satisfied with the function it adds. Just...

Very inexpensive 'made in China' instrument. Just wondering about the quality or lack thereof. Please...no comments such as "it was made in China, so it can't be any good" or "at that price, it can't be any good". Those are just mindsets...looking for firsthand experience. Thanks

WOW! Here's a new great sounding, versatile OD/Distortion pedal....at least IMO.

I needed another OD pedal like I need another hole in my head. But I'm addicted! Bought a Mad Professor Simble after watching YouTube demos and reading reviews. It is a great sounding pedal, however, after dialing in "my" preferred tone, I found it sounds nearly identical to the Boss FBM-1 I...

Re: Adding Cabinet to Combo Amp (creating a Stack) Cant't help on the Vibro-King specifically, but I've 'stacked' a Fender BDRI.... For lack of a better description in sounds 'bigger/fuller' not so much louder and has more bottom end.

Re: One Amp, One Cab, One Guitar :scratchch: Hmmmmm...Am I seeing double? http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1483130 :27: I don't have an all time favorite rig. It changes every month or so. This was once a favorite and could even return as a favorite from time to time. Can you...

Anyone have any experience using this totally clean (with no pre-amp) power amp as a platform for emulation/simulation pre-amp type pedals? Thinking of Tech 21 Blonde, Wampler '57 Tweed, Wampler Black '65, Boss FBM-1, Boss FDR-1, JOYO American Sound, JOYO British Sound, or others that were...

Re: NAD: Fender Blues Deluxe Great amp either as is or with pedals. Here's the speaker I added: I'm not sure whether the ext. cab is still available?

All the info I've seen on pup replacement show soldering the pup ends at the proper connecting point. Has anyone experimented with any means of quick change connectors near the PUP cavity that would allow 'tinkerers' quicker changeout? If so, would you share the type of connectors used, and did...

I just purchased a new Schecter Solo Vintage http://www.schecterguitars.com/products/guitar/solo-vintage.aspx and I find that the neck pup, a Seymour Duncan FG-101n, is weak on the Bass side. I have adjusted pup ht. and pole piece ht, but it still appears weak to me. Has anyone else experienced...
