Peace be with you! ​​​​​​ I've watched The Who Live In Texas '75... ​​​​​​ How is Pete using these Hiwatt amps? He's playing a Les Paul Deluxe. The bridge pickup is weak. With that, he goes from delicate strumming, to absolute fury in a heartbeheartbeat. Does anyone know? TIA

I used a Bogner amp, along with a Strat + Lovepedal Purple Plexi for rhythm, and a '70 Gold Top Deluxe + Lovepedal Ezekiel for the lead. Easy listening... Special thanks to Aztec Studios for some great production. Hope you like it...

I did this as an instrumental 'soundscape,' so to speak. I was wanting to create a heavy, suspenseful vibe while avoiding certain heavy metal nuances. Hope you like it! Peace! http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=9723800&q=hi&newref=1

I have been studying some of these great little amps for a while. The Alamo Model 3 definitely has its charm. Lots of sonic goodness coming from that little guy. (This is not my youtube, by the way.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFGb-HOTMeI

I didn't make this clip, but I thought this was a surprising and convenient way to get a feel for the tones of these vintage combos, some of which I have never come across even once. FWIW, the Supro comes in at about :55, and has a really great sound (not that the others don't have their own...

People debate what amp Jimmy Page used on LZ1 to this day. This sounds pretty amazing to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjvKWgRcrhg

Does anyone have experience with both of these, like, in a side by side comparison? I have listened to plenty of youtubes, and each has it pro's and con's. The Marshall seems to have the edge in terms of 'room volume,' but you can't really tell for sure with a youtube. Does the Vox produce a...

Does anyone have experience with these? 1-Is the Antiquity Tele (n) an A3 mag? Does that make a lot of difference? 2-Does it make any sense to buy these, or, having already purchased an Antiquity bridge, would it be easier to just add a .047 cap? Maybe a dumb question, but I had to ask...

I found this interesting from a number of viewpoints.... I'm amazed that Tony could pull all this off with those rubber stumpy things on 2 of his fingers, but he does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hvqLBzg_Vs&feature=endscreen&NR=1

Can anyone tell me about these? I would be interested in the bridge position only. Thanks!

Does an SM3 do well in a Strat bridge position.... '91 Strat Ultra.

Has anyone tried this: Antiquity Custom Strat bridge stack. UOA5 magnets. Need the output to stay around 8-9kOhm.... the Bogner doesn't like real strong pickups. Wacha think? It needs to be really bada// for blues-rock type stuff.

Not my genre at all, but undeniably BAD-A**: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUflZS7jG0&ob=av2e

Well, Jeremy's got me lusting for Strat bridge pickups again. What do you think of this one? It needs to be able to handle some heavy, classic rock riffs like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drxquY4_8Ts

I'm looking for a noiseless Strat bridge pickup (just for live shows). It would be best if it had a lead sound somewhat like the SSL-7, and could run with a 500k pot, that way it could balance with the Gibson minihumbucker in the neck. What do you suggest? Thanks for your input!
