I have recently purchased a 50 watt 1X12 Laney combo. It is currently loaded with the cheap, stock speaker (Celestion Sevendy 80). I find it kinda farty in the low end and harsh in the top when I crank it up. Thinking about replacing it soon with the celestian Vintage 30 or V-type. Anyone with...

I’ve been playing semi professionally since I was about 16...but I always went the route of modeling amps (vox Vt+) or most recently, effects processer (line 6 Helix). Long story short, I ditched the helix for an all tube 50watt Laney combo and need to build up A board. I play in a gigging...

Looking at selling my current rig (line6 helix) and getting a real deal tube amp. I have my eye on either a single speaker Vox ac30s1 or a night train 15 head with laney 2X12. I play in a classic rock cover band and a doomy/ stoner rock band. I mostly use my volume control on my guitar to get my...

Hi, I want to bypass my tone on a switch, keeping my volume in the circuit. I usually play Rhythms with the one at 7 to thicken itvup, my idea to to bypass it to create a pseudo rhythm/ lead switch. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Hey guys, I’m looking for a good pairing for a custom custom bridge, that will be growly, but not muddy under heavy distortion/ Fuzz. Like the posting says, doom/stoner metal in C# standard. High gain amp, les Paul like guitar (scale, tone wood, hardware, etc) I have the jazz now, it does a good...

I play doom/stoner Metal and I'm looking for somthing different. I want something that will cut though the fuzzy distortion without getting too muddy but also not too thin. This is going in a guitar similar to a les paul (in terms of tonewood, scale, bridge and weight) tuned to C# standard. I've...

I'm in the process of ditching my murieffects processer for an old fashion valve amp. I have my eye on the VOX night train. I am wondering if I should go for the 15 watt head or 50 watt head. My concern is A. Will 15 watts play small to medium gigs and be heard without being miced and B. Will 50...

I've always been an Anglophile when it comes to amps, but I have never owned an orange. I play a Line 6 Helix right now, but I'm getting to the point where I want a real deal amp on stage. I'm still probably going to use the helix as an effect platform and backup to my amp. but to the point...

I've heard good things about the jazz bridge. I have the neck model in now with a JB (real inspired, I know) I wanna know if anyone had any experience either the jazz bridge and has though about my proposed application. I'm putting it in a Korean made ltd Viper (it's solid, heavier than some les...

I heard some people say this is an underrated bridge pick up. I'm interested at the medium output, ceramic nature of this, but also reluctant because I HATE the 81. Too harsh and lifeless. The 85 is much better as a bridge, but what about the 60? I play hard rock/ alturnative (some classic...

Greetings, I am looking for a vintage style pickup for dark/hard rock. I'm going for a black sabbath / Ghost BC tone. Thinking about either a Duncan pearly gates or a Dimarzio PAF (36 aniversery or master). I have a les paul style guitar( mahogany body, maple cap, rosewood board, etc). Any thoughts?

Hello. I have just bought a 2010 Schecter stargazer. Solid Ash body (flame maple vaneer), set maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. I'm not really liking the stock pickups and am thinking about a pearly gates in the neck and something in the custom family (custom, custom custom, or custom5). I...

I know this topic has been done to death, but here it goes....phat cat or prails. I just ordered an ash body, set maple neck guitar with a rosewood board. I've played the phat cat in an SG (set neck, mahogany body)and loved them ( didn't love the noise though). I play punk/hard rock with a...

I play classic rock/ metal, and am venturing in to contemporary alt/hard rock. High gain amp, les Paul like guitar (set neck, mahogany body, maple cap, rosewood board, etc) really like the Gibson 57 classic and slash for their open, airy quality, but I don't want to drop a Gibson or "signature...
