    Speaker comparo. Which one sounds better to you (clip inside)?

    Here's a short clip containing a Celestion and Eminence 12 incher. First 25 seconds has all guitars using one speaker, which we'll call Speaker A, and second 25 seconds is using the other speaker, which we'll call Speaker B.

    Review: Genz Benz El Diablo 60C - With Sound Clip

    I scored a used Genz Benz El Diablo 60C combo off of fleabay last week. Never heard or played one before but it had the features that I was looking for and the price was right…so I took a gamble. Firing up the amp for the first time in 60 watt pentode mode was a shocker. I did NOT like what I...

    Jammin' in Phrygian mode

    Here's a quick little off-the-cuff solo over a backing track provided by one of the members from the HC forum. The first half of the solo was with a Duncan Distortion in the neck position. The second half was with a Duncan '59 neck. I thought both sounded pretty good. :)...

    Just ordered an Edwards Sykes LP!

    I finally bit the bullet and ordered an Edwards LP. :banana: Man, it's gonna be a long week waiting for this thing to show up. I hope it's as high quality as people have mentioned. But from looking at the pics, I think it should be pretty nice. I'll do a full review once it's here. But...

    Harmonic Minor Action

    Here's a little simple chord progression I made in A harmonic minor...nothing fancy but enough to noodle over. :) Although I don't really use harmonic minor much, I do dig the sound. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=520434&songID=3881543

    Hi everyone. Noob here with some tone clips.

    Hi gang. I just did a couple of quick tunes that showcase some of my favorite tones and I figured I would share. BTW, I'm from the '80s school of rock so if you hate that sound then please avoid! :laugh2: And please feel free to comment...
