I've had a Peavey valveking for about a year and I almost always play metal rhythm and shred guitar. It has enough gain but it's not as tight or punchy as I'd like. I LOVE the sound of engl amps and I was checkin out a screamer and the thunder and they have the qualities I like in an amp but I...

I'm thinking of putting a custom/59 combo in my esp eclipse (mahogany neck n body ebony fb) I currently have emg 81/60 and I'm looking to get more tone from my guitar's woods but after playing some zakk wylde stuff I was really satisfied with the screaming harmonics and power I was hearing that...

I'm thinking of trading in my peavey valveking for either a haze 40w combo or an MA 50w combo. I've kinda been chasing that raunchy Marshall midrange tone and these amps are in my price range so if you guys could share your experiences I'd appreciate it.

I wanna know what makes a guitar all around the easiest for shredding/soloing(bends, vibrato, legato, speed and sweep picking). For example I'm pretty sure that big frets make vibrato feel good but I'm not sure if it hinders or makes legato easier. I also would like to know what scale length is...

I've been trying to find a hot, articulate, responsive pickup to go into an all mahogany guitar that's good for metal, soloing, and cleans. I narrowed it down to these two pickups. I like the d-activator but I'm worried that the fact that it's supposed to emulate an active pickup sound will make...

I'm looking to put a Mo Joe in the bridge of a mahogany neck/body ebony board guitar and am divided on a neck pickup. I'm afraid the PAF Joe will be too old school sounding and not well-suited for shredding, but I've been hearing reviews about the PAF Pro saying that it is flat sounding which...

I'm using the emg 81/60 set and I'm beginning to find that they're a bit noisy and a bit mushy when I'm playing and it's become quite annoying(not talking about feedback). I've turned my gain way down and that kind of over-gaininess is still very present. I want a pickup set that sounds a bit...

I'm replacing my emgs with blackouts and I understand that there's a quick connect system that allows you to switch pickups with rewiring or soldering so what(really spell it out for me I'm a retard when it ces to this stuff) do you do?

Trying to make a tough decision here. The dfh and dime o flame have identical features except for the bridge pickup. The dfh has the bill lawrence l500xl and the dime o flame has the dimebucker. I've heard mixed reviews about he dimebucker but I know that the bill Lawrence pickup is what dime...

Looking for a good bedroom/practice amp that has crushing high gain tone without having to be cranked. I've kinda been looking at the krank rev jr, krankenstein jr, blackstar ht-5 so if any of you guys have had experience with these amps please share your thoughts/experience.

I'm just curious as to why Marshall has become so revered and popular I want to know whaat guitar players truly think of Marshall amps.

I'm looking for a pickup that sounds sweet on the upper part of the fretboard and that has a big bottom end. Similar to a dimarzio breed. I also wonder if a bridge blackout will give me this sound in my all mahogany ESP EC-1000

I'm trying to decide between the fireball and the screamer I plan to use the amp with either a 1x12 or 2x12 cab. I hear the fireball has monstrous gain but I like the fact that the screamer has high and lo gain lead for a rhythm/solo switchoff kinda thing. I'm really torn here and I'd like some...

Trying to choose between putting ahb1s or ahb3s in my ESP eclipse(mahogany neck body ebony board) for standard tuning with he occasional drop or down tuning. Looking for high output and clarity but good(dare I say) "passive" tone. I'd appreciate some insight here!

Just curious as to why some people with the Les Paul style tune o matic bridge with stopbar string the bridge "backwards"? I mean what are the pros and cons
