    Guitar porn

    Decided to take a few pics last night of the Standard and the SG. Out of 50+ pix taken I only really like one or two but these are the best of the bunch. Question for you guys that shoot the killer photos. What are you guys shooting with and what lenses? What can you tell me about...

    Bumbox Lead 1 - mini review and pics

    Here's the basics of the amp: one watt that is pushed by (1) 6n1p and (2) 12ax7's. Let me get this out of the way: in its stand alone form, it's not a metal amp. But if you dig classic rock tones and good crunch you'll want to get one; it rocks! Initial impressions are very positive. At only...

    question about daisy chaining cabs

    I've got (2) 8 ohm cabs that I am going to daisy chain into an amp. Would I plug the daisy chained units into the 16 or 4 ohm out?

    New SG

    The last SG standard my GF ordered got delivered (from UPS) looking like this: Needless to say she was bummed. Our dealer, who I've bought my other guitars from, was super cool and ended up giving this to her for a killer deal. Imagine how bad I want to play this thing. I'm sitting here at my...

    chuggin

    I recently got a Vox Valveltronix 120VTH and so far I really like the amps clean and crunch tones. The metal tones are pretty nice too but the low end chug is weak. No punch to it at all. I know its not my speakers or cabs because all my other amps have been fine through them (DSL/5150). Any way...

    Question for the valvetronix owners - stereo or mono?

    My GF, who plays piano, wants to learn how to play guitar :headbang: so I figured it's a perfect time to get a new rig so we can play/practice at the same time. I've done some research and decided on the valvetronix but I can't decide if I want to go with the 120VTH (stereo) or the 60VTH (mono)...

    Modeling amp suggestions?

    I am going to upgrade my Flextone II+ to something different. I am looking for a head that will be pushing a Celestion (V30/H30) loaded 2x12. So far I am thinking about the Vox Valvetronix AD60 or 120 head. I dont really need the 120 watts but I would like to run it in stereo and the 60 doesn't...

    Results from my LP mods (pics)

    I have had my LP for 4 months and was very happy with it but I kept reading success stories about lightweight tail pieces and the RS electronics upgrade kit. I bought the tailpiece and the RS kit and took my axe down to my luthier to have him install both and do a professional set-up. I finally...

    You guys remember the Mitch Kolby incident with Vox and someone knocking the Valvetronix? Well on another forum Mitch dropped a bomb. Here's the news: "Good morning! This is the beginning of a hand wired series of Marshall replica products. Each one has been carefully copied including tone...

    Paging Lews Guitars

    Lew, Do you sell light weight stoptail pieces? Would you recommend putting one on an '03 standard? Is it a direct replacement or does a luthier need to do the work? Thanks! J

    Strat or SG? Help with new axe

    So I saved up all my pennies and want to get a new guitar. Here are my current options. Feel free to chime in if you have other ideas. I have never liked strats but I played an American Deluxe (HSS) the other day and it was super nice. I only got to play it on a Fender amp so I have no clue as...

    Any THD Uni or Bivalve owners?

    I'm getting rid of my 5150 and going for a more classic rock sounding amp to complement my DSL. From what I have read the uni's and bi's sound kick ass. Any positive or negative comments on the amps? :feedback: J
