They are just amazingly versatile amplifiers. Actually traded my Marshall in on a Heritage VTX in the mid-80's. I have owned most of them, but relied on my C50 410 heavily through the 90's. All in storage at the moment, except my VIP 3. You can stop by the Peavey Forum and see all of them in...

No real gigging since 2022, but I was mostly using my Vypyr VIP 3 and the Sanpera II footswitch (? footboard). Mic'able or I can run it into the board. With it I would use the JSX, Triple XXX and Classic 50 models. Boxed in Red in this insurance pic. What I always want to take, but once...

This one is a little lengthy, still quite a cool behind the scenes look at building one of John Page's Art Guitars Before he was devoting most of his time to building, John spent some time on TDPRI answering questions, sharing his memories of guitars he designed for Fender and memories of his...

Obviously someone misses me buying stuff to resupply my Projects & Part Shelves... "Rediscover iconic 808 and 909 tones with our first true analog engine in over 40 years, plus new circuit-bent ACB instruments, advanced sampling, an expanded TR sequencer, and unparalleled hands-on control." I...

Fender has been hitting me with a decent amount of marketing email, and cookie related ads. pushing Fender Studio. At the moment, I think I have no interest. Still, I value the experience and thoughts of those who hang out here, as they often help me make winning decisions. So, are you using...

This one is easy. My Peavey JSX 212. Primarily because it offers every tone I have ever relied on. The Clean channel has my favorite clean tone - the Triple XXX clean. It has a huge, flat freq response, clean with all kinds of headroom. A lot like having a JC 120 hiding behind Channel #1...

Oh yeah, when he was at Georgetown he played in The Crossovers. Saw them at The Bayou, Spring Semester, 1995.

Since ~1988 I have been using the Yellow (0.73mm) Standard Tortex when playing my electrics. I will also sometimes use the Orange and Red for my acoustics. However, I am always hearing about the virtues of, and how everyone is using, a Jazz III. A friend recently gave me one of the Jazz III...

As work is going to be done on my Lead III, I am thinking I will bundle in a neck swap. One of my favorite necks to play is the Fender '72 Tele Deluxe replacement neck on my mutt Lead II. It is a maple board, 12 inch radius, vintage C profile with 21 frets. I could buy another '72 TD...

If you're like me and can't currently lay hands on all your inventory, I have a little playing to do first so it will likely be late September before I need them. Also I have nothing to trade at the moment for the same reason. I'm seeking a black logo'd PATB-1 and PATB-1n. Also open to one or...

I likely need better Music Theory skills, however I had decided it is simply in E minor with me not understanding why the F# (whatever inversion they're playing) is technically in there. Modulation? Bridge to nowhere? :dunno: But I don't want to be like this guy, so I let it go:

First I am going to blame the "What Guitar Are You Playing Today?" topic for making me overthink this. I will also admit to reviewing Aceman's "What Is The Most Versatile Pickup Duncan Makes?" topic to gather some historic insight. The guitar has plenty of tones available. It is HH, with a...

No, I'm not posting a clip - yet. We shall see... Possibly a drive by post given where life is at the moment, but I am interested in your arguments and will be back. B melodic minor? Your thoughts please, if you're willing to share them, and especially why or why not?

And here are some Crunch schematics. I will tap out, as I have better things to do with my time than discuss with you Bro. Still peace, it is all good.
