Howdy gang been quite some time but there's no better place to ask a question like this... I'm building a guitar with timber from my grandfather's old workbench. So the damn thing is going to be heavy-ass hardwood but I'm determined to make it work! I'm really set on putting P90's in this...

Reporting back on this one - so I gave this setup a try for quite a while and found I couldn't really get a really deep preamp tone out of the GT-8. It is after all a guitar focused device. The 'Full Range' preamp model was pretty good, but lacked character especially when adding gain. All the...

And the rat-rod relic it has now become!

So I've had this GT-8 for like 15 years or so. Sounds scary counting the years out like that! Sure there are newer things out on the market but I've learned this thing inside out, it's given me all the sounds I've ever wanted and I love the physical knobs. But I thought it was time for a...

Hey gang I'm about to start gigging as a bass player and am looking at how to set up my rig. I'll be playing fuzzy psych/garage rock. I'm currently borrowing a Hartke HA2000 bass amp which lives at the rehearsal studio but I already have a bunch of guitar gear on hand that I'm hoping I can...

Hey guys! It's been a seriously long time since I've been around here, hope the place is going well. I'm finally heading in to do a proper studio recording with the band I've been with for 6 years. We are really going all out with it and I want to use the opportunity to get the best rhythm...

Hi guys I've made a bit of progress on my 80's shredder guitar project, but I'm still after some pups. I dont care if the stuff is ruffed up a little (or alot), it just has to work. Not looking to pay much, hence the age/appearance is not a priority! 1 bridge humbucker (anything high output) 1...

Consider yourself saved from ever having to listen to wimpy poser music ever again! No longer will you struggle through piles of FALSE METAL trying to find something with TRUE METAL SPIRIT! Metal - Fighting For Metal A demo from the band I play guitar in, Metal, alongside Rusty "Iron" Oxide...

I've got a Marshall 9100 tube power amp and each channel has two speaker outputs, for a possible total of four cabs. I can switch the output of each channel (2 cabs per channel) between 16ohms and 8 ohms. My question is: If there are two loads running of a channel switched to 16 ohms, does it...

In my GT-8 theres a parametric EQ I love messing with... now I have a bit of an idea of what I'm doing, but maybe some of you guys can give me some input on getting the most out of it. Keep in mind I'm going for a Marshall/metal sound...I dont go overboard with the gain and am not after a...

Just an example of a typical Saturday evening at my house... we all jam and throw something together...and then spice it up with layers of vocals harmonies and guitar & bass arpeggios :p Pretty much first take on everything (except my solo...I sat down & wrote that one :27: ) and the vocals...

Just pickup up a Marshall 9100 power amp to run the GT-8 through! That's 2x 50 watt 5881 valve powered channels :banana: First impressions were: It's not as loud as I thought, but I think it works in my favour as I can get the tubes cookin by the time it gets loud. This makes it great to use...

ooOOOOo just took some pics of my new Jackson Rhoads V :) Anyone know what series/model it is? Dark metallic grey finish, 22 frets, bolt on neck, sharkfin inlays, rosewood board, jackson double locking floyd bridge (with trem bar screw collar design), front pickguard mounted electronics (2 vol...

Well as spontenaety would have it... I just bought my second Jackson :) Second hand Japanese alder Rhodes V equipped with a licenced floyd trem & rosewood fretboard. Pretty similar to my kelly except the shape of course :6: but it does still come with those horrible stock Jackson pups :blackeye...

I was always curious as to how the GT-8 would sound straight into the PA... I'd been using my 100W ss peavy bandit as a power amp with an external Marshall quad for practice. Which isn't the most desirable of setups, but at least it was loud enough for rehearsals. So anyway I thought I'd try...
