This is a repost since a deal fell through... I've got a VHT 50/ST for sale here - Sounds great, but I found out the hard way EL84's aren't for me! Comes loaded with JJ's in the preamp and power section. If you want any pictures, PM me and let me know, I'll take a couple of shots for you...

Hey all, I've got a 50/ST here that must go. It is the older EL84 model with Reverb and Graphic EQ. It comes with the footswitches, and JJ preamp and power tubes. If you have any questions, PM me. Thanks! Eric

For anyone who is interested, here are some pictures of the guts of my Boogie Rectoverb: Photobucket I have a question about where the bias resistor is located on this amp. I read on some site that this one person's Boogie had a 22k bias resistor. Looking around, all the resistors had 5 bars -...

Per request, I am posting on the results of the re-wiring of my Strat, which some of you may be aware of. The guitar is a Fender 50th Anniversary American Deluxe with Fender/Lawrence SCN's and the infamous S-1 switch. Some of you with the same system may love the S-1 for its versatility...

After reading Gearjonser's and Rocker35's preamp tube shootouts, among many others, I am eager to do my own shootout, only I have no idea where to start with preamp tubes, and I am looking for some reccomendations. So far, the GT 12AX7 C looks like a definite contender. Also, I'm considering the...

For you guys who have this pickup or know about it, each pickup has three lead wires coming out of it: One green, one black, and one red, yellow or white (depending on the pickup). The green is definately the ground, but what do the black and other colored wire do? It probably has to do with the...

The spring reverb on my Boogie Rectoverb is not very substantial with lower gain settings (this applies to the clean channel). Even with the reverb level maxed out, there isn't very much since there's so little gain on the channel. Is there a way to get more reverb from the tank without adding...

You know those tones that, even the first time you hear them, just floor you, and you have to have that sound (or the closest thing to it)? From The Tangent's second and most recent album, The World That We Drive Through: Clip of lead guitar I want that tone! :yell: :13: Does anyone...

Yeah - I know, the Spanish is tacky. Anyway, here's what I'm shooting for - 2 humbuckers - one is DiMarzio, and the other is a Seymour Duncan, just to complicate things :smack: To a 4-pole 3-way switch, Petrucci style, inner coils in parallel for middle position. With the 50's mod wiring...

Will a Duncan Custom be too bright in a Floyd guitar? I like my guitars on the bright side since I'm playing into a dark amp (Mesa Single Rec.) BTW, the guitar is a soloist shape, alder body, maple laminate top, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Thanks! Eric

Yeah! How do the two different modes? (Don't know what else to call it :smack: ) affect the sound that comes out? I know AB has the capability for higher gain than Class A, but does one focus on certain frequencies moreso than the other? If you could simplify to laymens terms the differecnes, I...

... Yeah! If you have one to part with, please reply, and I will give you a PM with my offer ASAP! Thanks, Eric

Hey there everyone! I have a Fender Fat Strat courtesy of Mexico, that comes with a PG+ in the bridge. I LOVE!!! the PG+'s huge, full sound, with so much crunchiness. Now, the trick is, I want to be able to purchase a pickup that is the most similar as far as EQ and output is concerned...

I will be building myself a custom 4-switch box, with switches for A/B, a true-bypass loop, and two remote switches for functions on my amp (all will have LED's BTW). I know what kind of switches and wirings to use for the A/B and loop (plain 3pdt switches), but what do I use for the remote...

Ibanez makes two different wizard necks, the Wizard and the Wizard II. What's the difference between the two? Do they have different dimensions or shapes or is it some kind of marketing ploy? Reason being I've fallen in love with two of Ibanez's new RGT42 model guitars, and the major difference...
