I've recently purchased a SS Head and a 2x12 cab and have been using it for high gain metal. I get pretty bad feedback from it and some high gain hiss, and was wondering if the Smart Gate works to remove the feedback!!! I use no other pedals, just guitar into the amp. Thanks for the help ...

It's finally come time ! NEW AMP DAY :D excited ! Might be disappointing for some cause its a solid state Fender head :p but I personally like the sound !! It's a Fender FM100H 100 watt head on top of a Canadian made Traynor DHX212 Cabinet ! The combination of the two sounds awesome ! Lot of...

Despite all the hate towards solid state amp heads, I found one for a good price..and will be picking it up tomorrow ! I found a Line 6 Spider III 150 watt head and I love the way it sounds so far... Now what I want to try to find is a cabinet to make the best of the sound. I'm looking for a...

Would an Orange Micro Terror / Tiny Terror / Dark Terror Orange Head (20/15/15 watts) with a 120 watt cab be good for playing live shows ??

Holy, its been a while since I posted here. Got really busy with work, school, my band, recording, etc Anyways, We've recently started playing a lot more shows and it doesn't make sense for me to keep renting a head and a cab (too expen$ive !!). I'm trying to find: - Half stack that doesn't...

...I started my final project for shop class !! I have 100% decided that im going with a guitar body from scratch. I'm going to be buying everything else, and im gonna CNC the body. http://exotic-woods.com/subcategory.aspx?s=guitar-electric I have found this site for the wood i'm gonna be...

I play in metalcore/deathcore with 12 guitarists in it (me included) and we're experimenting with lower tunings. We play in Drop C (CGCFAD) but would wanna try songs in Drop A, neither of us have a spare guitar that this can be functionally done to so... Is there any guitar pedal that has two...

As a final project in shop class we have a choice on a piece, so with all the machines and supplies, i obviously jumped to the idea of a guitar body. It'll probably be a month until then but I really wanna start planning for fun! I was thinking of either a LP or Tele style guitar, but im open...

DBZ Imperial FM: Soft V neck profile, Mahogany body, flamed maple top, 24 3/4 scale length, ebonized rosewood fb, grover tuners, coil taps, 100% sexiness. I'll get more pictures tomorrow when the bright sun's up :D theres more to see...the flames are so much nicer in real life. Now 11-54 EB...

I'm going guitar hunting tomorrow morning, and I've decided a long time ago that I'm gonna tune this guitar to Drop C (CGCFAD) because most music I now listen to falls to that tuning. Enough talk, my question: If I prefer 10-52 for E Standard Tuning, what is the ideal string gauge for me if...

I am notorious for wanting 50's teles, 70's strats, gretsch, and generally other guitars not made specifically for metal. My strat is used for my metal needs regularly and does the job just fine, but some more boost (making singles sound like humbuckers which the SD Pedal does) would be awesome...

I decided to try out a Marshall finally to see what all the fuss was about ! (Rental was free due to some delayed orders, insignificant) I saw a nice MG50FX, it seemed to be big enough for band practice, gigs, but also good for quiet playing. Decided to take that one home for now. Pros: -...

Schecter has a fairly new (from what i know) signature guitar! Robin Zander, legendary singer and guitarist of Cheap Trick, has a Schecter sig model, and its very much like a Gretsch 6122 or a White Falcon with double cutaways. Opinions ??

This is purely out of curiosity, because i have no money whatsoever for a head+cab atm...or any time in the near future. But, what do you personally think is the best head + cab ? Basically, which one gives you the most value for your money ?

I made a search about similar topics and couldn't find exactly what i was looking for but here goes. I've heard of Agile guitars before but never really took the time to look at them. I finally did and they are amazing ! GraphTech Nut, Ebony fretboard, triple bound headstock, 18:1 Grovers...
