So far i bought Peavey Vypyr 40w from the local store. First impresions are good, i like XXX and Butcher presets the most, XXX is more modern, Butcher is old school. I haven't played that much, just about 3 hours. So i haven't tried all the effects and different channels of models, just lead...

Just got VOLTCRAFT VC135 multimeter. Testing cts 500 k pots, and the multimeter on 20M setting, shows 0.47. Tested my Jackson DK2S guitar, and tone pot shows pretty much the same: 0.44 . Tested volume pot of that guitar, and it shows 0.02 . So, i am just confused overall. Looking at youtube...

Having this Randall Diavlo 45 head. At first there was no sound at all. Than i left it alone for few years, cause i played different amps. Now, i bought multimeter, to check out if fuses are blown. It looks like fuses are perfectly ok. Messed up, as i am, i forgot which one is on it's place, so...

So, i done swap of emgs in my LTD Horizon 1001 Deluxe guitar. I swapped 85 to bridge and 81 to neck position.. And i found out that i prefer the sound of EMG 81 on the bridge, and also 81 on the neck. 81 sounds to me brigter, with less low end. Which is cool, because i have kind of dark amp...

Got some Seymours to install in my LTD Deluxe Superstrat guitar. They are 4 conductors type. Can i wire them just as if they are 2 conductors, no split modes at all ? Or they are specially designed for splits?

I want to replace active emg 81/85 combo in my LTD deluxe electric guitar. Want to replace it with another, also active, but more of a mellow output emg. Don't wanna change the electronics in guitar at all. I want less bass response and less output, and guitar is mahogany body, maple cap, floyd...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this.. i am playing guitar emulation software ( bias fx, amplitube 4) through computer and interface. However i noticed that through pair of M-Audio BX5 speakers the sound is not really good. The sound is boomy, or how can i describe it, it sounds...

As i have most of hi gain tube sounds covered by Randall Diavlo RD5, i would like to add another tube 5 watter for clean tones. With clean tones i am more into fendery type of sounds.. Line out option would be really cool for direct recording, but it's not that important. Fx loop would be good...

I have a randall diavlo rd1 and currently i am running it through orange ppc 112 cab with vintage 30 speaker. i am thinking of replace orange ppc 112 with some other 2x12 cab, also with vintage 30s. is this a good idea, to run 1 watt valve head through 2 speakers. from what i know, it would be...

So, i just got back my 88 Mij Charvel Model 5 from service man. as, previous owner, unfortunately replaced floyd unit with some crap for 30 bucks, i decided to block it, and have no tunning issues ever since. so, i just left it blocked for 1 year. than, i bought used Schaller floyd from Germany...

After 4 years of experimenting with different shapes guitars, acive and passive pickups i found a guitar i really like.. It's used MIJ Jackson DK2S. It's light, with great playability, neck is slim which i like, shark inlays looks cool, black colour, hss pickup configutation which i really dig...

So, i am deciding of buying new practice amp.. i found Roland Cube 20 don't sound good at low, practicing levels of volume. when i crank it up it actualy sounds good, but this stomp box modeling stuff is not cool. i need good, open sound at low volume levels. in the past i had Cube 40XL, which i...

I have a RD-1 now for about a year, and it's cool for practicing at low volumes. The question is, if i can do tube replacement when it will be necessary by myself, without biasing it at all? It has power and preamp tubes. So while i know the higher tube wattage amp heads needs biasing, i am...

My 3 electric guitars i have are all 25 inch scale, with floyd roses. Right now i have 2 guitars in E Standard, with 9-46 strings on, and i really like the tension. The other one i have in E Flat, with 10-48 strings on, and the higher strings maybe feels a little too tight. I plan to set one...

I am trying to do a cover of One by Metallica, and in the last part when the guitars are driven rhythm pretty fast (if that's even considered fast.. ) my right hand starts to hurt. At full speed i am skipping some notes, but at 5 bpms slower i can somehow full all the notes, but i am on the edge...
