A friend of mine decided to put his Line6 up against my Marshall. Just for tone comparisons. Was somewhat informative. Kinda boring, but it is what it is... http://www.youtube.com/user/DanielVision777?feature=mhee Jeff

After way too many years of sitting on the fence, I've finally decided to go ahead and make my own amps. They will be hand made, using only the best components with no PCB's. These are my own designs and not copies/altered versions of existing designs. My initial effort will be on two models, a...

I have gotten a rash of Tung-Sol's (12AX7's)that are testing and performing bad from the factory. The EH 12AX7's are still showing up bad. Just a heads up for all of ya'll. It's been awhile, so in case you don't know who I am, I'm a repair tech in Houston and have been playing for over 33yrs...

I always fear posting new tunes on the internet, so I figured I would go to a trusted source.... (that would be all of you!) to get some honest opinions. So, here goes.... http://www.animose.com/audio/quit-thinkin-onweb.mp3 rough mix at best, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Had a customer drop off a VH4S for a thorough checkout. I really like these for ultra hardcore and the cleans are actually really good. I'll get pics and make some clips this week........lord, my job is rough!:smokin: JS

although not quite as impressive as Jolly's, these are my "babies".... not pictured... '84 and '82 DII currently under construction, and my '89 Gibson Explorer..(awaiting a pickguard) "proud papa"...JS

Something new, something old........ first the newest addition to the family.... 1981 Ibanez DestroyerII..... and my first one I had when I was 16..... it's beat to death, neck's been cracked 3 times, but still survived the 80's in at least one piece!! 1982 DII ..i played only this one...

I have seen lot's of Matchless amps, but never one with 4 EL34's, 2 5U4's and the DC30 preamp.......anybody know which model this is???? Jeff Seal

...gonna go broke. Just scored yet another Mahognay bodied DII (2nd one in three weeks). I've waited and watched patiently for three years now, saving my pennies for just one of these to show up and now two in a one month span.........:smokin: I guess it's worth the wait to be patient...

Chopstherocker sent his '66 Bandmaster to me, so I could convert it to three prong for him. With his permission, I'm going to show everyone what all is entailed to "restoring" the older Fender's to proper working specs and what to look for to make sure it's in great shape to last another 40 yrs...

mine, all mine.....I couldn't pass this one up! http://cgi.ebay.com/1981-Ibanez-Destroyer-DT-400_W0QQitemZ7382845420QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Should keep the other one's I have "company"...:laugh2: and it's the mahogany body to boot!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)...

Goofing off with the camera this morning.... Decided to take some some pics from our practice room in the garage....We recorded last night and I had a VHT Pitbull I was thinking about using, but decided to stick with my modded marshall afterall...... pics of three of my babies....'82 and '83...

Since it's no great secret I'm an amp tech, I started thinking I might go ahead and review some of the gear I get in to be repaired... I honestly get to play through some of the absolute finest new and vintage amps made... For example, this week's "noteworthy's" included a 1961 Fender Brown...

... I am an amp tech, but the stories I've heard from some of my customers about other shops are just sickening!!!.....your thoughts?????..... My shop/I are not "off limits".....(unless you're V!N....:blackeye: ..I'm trying bro!...really!) Jeff Seal

....I'm amazed at how often this comes up, mostly because I think there is a large misunderstanding of what everyone's idea of loud is. Since I own a Marshall Stack(or 2.............ok, 3 JCM800 2210's), somehow, somewhere..there is a preconceived notion that I/it has to absolutely be cranked...
