    Super Crunch Box coming

    Anyone following Mi Audio on facebook might have seen them post that they are making a Super Crunch Box. "Features are: New external Presence control, Lo/Hi Gain switch and diode clipping switch. Also has a voltage doubler that internally converts your 9V battery/DC input to ~18V."...

    I want to put WGS speakers into my 4x12

    I just don't know exactly which ones to put in. I hear really good things about the quality of WGS speakers and kind of know what sound I'm after. I'd like to have that classic warm, big Greenback tone a la EVH, Angus Young, Iommi, Montrose, mainly that notable 70's rock sound. However, I think...

    Thoughts on Danelectro Fish and Chips?

    I'm really looking to get one of these to beef up my sound. I've read many good reviews on it, and with it's price, it seems almost too good to be true. Anybody have any opinions on them, how they sound, and even what settings you use? I read that they have to run on a battery even if you have...

    Cool little bit I found

    Scanning the Yahoo homepage and I came across this. Thought it was neat and share it with you guys. http://news.yahoo.com/video/raleighwral-15751121/cary-man-makes-guitars-out-of-license-plates-25401704

    How do you figure out amp mods?

    Take my Blackstar HT-100 for example. If I wanted to experiment with it, whether it be for more gain or whatever, how do I figure out what I can do and how I do it?

    Opinions on Ibanez AS series?

    I'm currently really into hollowbody/ES-335 type guitars and the Ibanez versions look really cool. Any opinions on the AS93 like this: http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/model-AS93

    What is the least needed/most useless effect?

    Go ahead and discuss. My vote goes for tremolo.

    Hamer Standard

    I think they look awesome. They stick to the classic Explorer look and don't try to mess with it much. http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=399 Anybody played one and have opinions on it? They say "Hamer Humbucker" which leads me to believe that I would probably switch them out for...

    Bonamassa tone w/Black Country Communion= amazing

    I've been listening to their stuff some more lately and I'm loving Bonamassa's tone. Not sure why, but to me it kind of sounds like a more modern take on Jimmy Page's tone. Anybody know what gear he's using with the band? I read on woodytone that he's started using Budda amps. BTW, from what...

    What PU is like a Tone Zone, but less dark and bassy?

    I like the idea that the TZ is supposed to be a more smooth, high output pickup, but if any of you remember, I didn't like the fact that it was too bassy. Is there a pickup (any company) that has something similar, but doesn't have all of that bass and darkness in it? They say the Tone Zone is...

    MXR Custom Badass '78

    I've read on forums people if the "'78" is in reference to EVH. Whether it is or isn't it sounds good from the clip, IMO. http://www.guitarcenter.com/MXR-M78-Custom-Badass--78-Distortion-Guitar-Effects-Pedal-H71886-i1820237.gc 8XEtz8MwRTo&feature=player_embedded And for $80, it seems like a...

    Noob tube question

    As part of me upgrading my stuff, I'm thinking of putting in new tubes for my Blackstar HT-100 for a warmer and bigger tone with a bit more character to it, but I really don't know much about tubes. There are EL34's in there now and I'm currently looking to put in maybe JJEL34's or KT77's. I'd...

    Epiphone vs Gibson

    This thread has probably been done before, but I played an Epiphone Dot the other day, and thought that even if I upgraded a few things on the guitar, the cost difference for an actual Gibson isn't really justified. Epiphone quality seems to have improved judging from what I have played lately...

    JB users-how do you like to EQ your amps?

    Ok, so I was messing with the knobs this afternoon and I came up with this. Presence-6 Resonance-6 Treble-5 Mid-5 Bass-3 Gain (on the lead OD2 channel)- 4 Do you guys come up with something similar? Obviously amps are going to be different, but I'm wondering if there's a trend in how a...
