Atm I have got a 85 in the bridge and think of buying a Blackout neck and put the 85 in the neck!? Guitar is a Ibanez RG 550 (basswood body, rosewood fingerboard) with blocked trem, drop C tuning! If I don't like the blackout in the bridge i can put it in the neck and the 85 in the bridge...

I really like the 12ax7 9th gen (I think the GT 12AX7C are these tubes)! Now I found this new (?) 12AX7B Silver Dragon! Does someone tested these? How do they compare?

I wanna test my 85 in my RG... Where to put the battery? I'm going to try out anyway but wanna ask before! If I remember right I've read the Jack in the RG isn't really stereo and bad for EMGs? Thx!

We had a gig yesterday and got a track from the front mix! Any tips to make it sound decent? Just some EQ? Thx!

I've just installed in the bridge and tested. It's a way tighter under high gain than the JB in my other guitar. And it's brighter more with more clarity. Yeah and the EMG it's hotter. Ok the guitars are completly different to so it's hard too compare the pups! I was just wondering what's...

I've got an old yamaha se 200 lying around. It's loks like a stra butr has a thicker body... It got rosewood fretboard and a mahagony body (at least HC say this ;) ) I have to redo all the electronics. I think the cheapest way is to use EMGs so I don't have to buy any shielding material, pots...

My amp has no lead boost or anything like this. Boosting in front is no option neither coz i play high gain all the way... Is there something simple to put in the fx loop where i can switch between two volumes? What about a volume pedal in the fx loop? I could build a switch like a volume...

If I play a pull of after a hammer on it sounds ok. But I have problems with something like this e|-12p10p9--------------------- h|------------12p10p9---------- g|------------------------11p9-- I just don't get power in the note which is pulled off Any tips or smomething I should practice before?

First. Weird Color but looks awesome in a darker room. Looks Vintage but doesn't sound vintage at all (my opinion). It's a metal monster. It is said that this cab sound tight and focused. That described it good. Stay tight in every situation. Still tight without TS in front of the amp. First...

I was just checking how it would sound .. so it's nothing special!! I did it all very fast! http://mitglied.lycos.de/marcel82/clip1.html Maybe some tips etc?

I bought it for fun and modding! I've just played it over my v-amp but if it has the same effect on my real amp it gonna rock. :banana:

I really like the JB in the axe. But i want it a bit fatter and more compressed tighter sounding pub coz I'm now playing hardcore/metal stuff. I think of Custom, Invader, Super Distortion, Distortion, EMGs... I played the Custom in the axe and liked it but maybe there is something better? If I...

I've raised the action a bit ... but I wonder if it was too much. How much space should be between the string and the 12th or 24th fred if I press the first fret?

What is a choke in a tube amp?

I think I'll che out those Shougan?? 12AX7AC9. But what to go in the phase inverter. I definitly want a "matched tube". Some suggestions? Thanks
