There's this band called The Subways who I've been getting into lately, particularly their pretty cool Nirvana-ish guitar sound. For example, listen to their first single: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TLIquztdlnw Pretty straightforward raucous rock, you'd think. Nice SG and everything...

... well, what are they based on? Are they basically solid-state imitations of the DSL range? Or are they going after a different marshall era? Or just a sound of their own?

I can get one relatively cheaply. Any good? Headroom isn't an issue :)

Sigh. As you good people may have gathered, I have G.A.S. But a rather odd strain of the disease. Specifically, I have a desire for a tone that is mostly inspired by, er, a certain 90's band from Manchester who shall remain nameless. Since I don't have the ability or room to get my...

http://www.guitar.co.uk/electro-harmonix/120-electroharmonix_english_muffn?page=3 Looks decent, sounds OK on Youtube (altho the guy trying it was playing a Strat - not for me!), and a reasonable price for something with tubes in it... anyone here played one?

There's lots of threads going on about how beautiful the latest Les Paul in Flametop-amber-antique-glossy-iced-tea looks. But come on, let's see the colours and finishes that you can't stand. If it made you look at a guitar and go :omg: , then stick it up here! For starters, this guitar is...

Hi everybody :D So, the v-amp is getting clunky, and I'm seriously considering a Valvetronix AD30VT. It's affordable, popular, has a valve, does several different things, and looks groovy - plus it dispenses with the cables and "is the poweramp colouring my tone?" issue of a desktop modeller...

After all this time wrestling with my V-amp and my Fender 650 (which is one heck of a good box, but just not working too well with the v-amp), I tried plugging my blue thing into the crummy little marshall MG15 DFX I got along with my guitar. And it sounded good - the V-amp sounds warmer, and...

I'm having some trouble getting decent soudns out of my V-amp, through my Fender 650 SS amp. When I was playing it just there, everything sounded very trebly and sharp, even the fairly warm-sounding crunch model. I then had a thought, and put it into the "power-amp in" slot of my amp...

Hey all, Saw this on a website, and it reminded me of how tempting this looked to me a while back. In the end, I got a single yellow Boss pedal, then a V-amp 2, so I'm not sure I'd need this any time soon... but if gigging, it might prove useful in front of a tube amp... Anyone tried this...

Further to the thread in the "Off Topic" room, I thought we'd see exacly what everyone thinks about this. The question is - what do you prefer, inlay-wise, on your electric guitar? And why? If you had a dream axe, what would it have? Discuss!

Hi ho everyone, Seems to me like a lot of pro guitarists use marshall heads, but different 4x12 cabs (eg. Peavey). Some even use Orange heads through Marshall cabs. Is this really a common thing? And do other cabs give better sonic results, in your opinion, with a marshall head? Discuss!

Lol, thought that may get people interested... this goes out to those who use the V-amp (or v-ampire). What settings do you like using, and for what kind of sound? My fave is the "crunch V-amp" at around 3/4 gain, bass 3, mid 5, treble 7. Gives me a good crunch at low volume on my guitar...

...what's the clumsiest thing that you have done to a guitar? Shortly after buying a hard case for my Epi 335, I accidentally dropped a DUMBELL weight onto it from a few feet up. That's right, one of those heavy black weights you get on dumbells. It made a BIG bash in the side of my case...

Got my Epi 335 back today, compleye with '59 slapped into the bridge!!!!!!! :) Soooo.... Major difference is the CLARITY. The stock Epi couldn't decide whether it was gonna be muddy or jangly, and often ended up being a horrible combo of both. The 59 sounds like the stock, only like it's...
