It's been a while, and in the meantime we (my band, Luftskipet Noreg) have recorded a demo. People seem to like it, as we have been played ca. 2000 times in a month. It's not top notch recording quality, but if you have a pair of decent pc speakers, it should sound OK. And as with all music...

I love the cleans on my AC30, and I play clean or fairly clean 50-70% of the time. However, it's nice with some extra dirt, saturation, sustain, overdrive or whatever sometimes. So, I'll go pedal shopping :smokin: I don't need hi-gain sounds, and I guess my needs are low to medium overdrive. The...

The high E string on my Tele is way too low in volume, and I've tried different ways of raising it, however, it's not enough. Next step is to raise the pole piece. How? It's a JD, btw....

My AC30 seems to have lost much of it's beautiful reverb after a transport from North- to South-Norway. I tried replacing the reverb tubes, which only helped a little. In addition to this, the reverb is now very noisy. When I carry it around, I can hear the springs rattling inside. Have the...

I'm changing the reverb tubes in the preamp section in my AC30, and suddenly discovered that it was an ECC82 in an ECC81 socket. Will this damage my amp?

My Hwy1 Tele makes unwanted rattling/buzzing sounds when I play it, even when it isn't amplified. Therefore, I guess it's the guitar (I hope sincerely that it isn't the amp, which is an old Vox AC30TB). The sound doesn't appear when i play open strings, so it may be the clash between the...

A strange problem; my high E string has a lower volume than for example my G string. Why? I've tried to raise my pickup higher on the brighter strings than the others, but it doesn't help. What can I do? The guitar is a Hwy1 Tele with JD bridge and brass saddles.

Ok, so my 7 weeks of summer job is about to end, and my poor hands will be full of cash. My amp purchase is approaching. After long times of considerations, I'm left with basically two options: a new DRRI and a new speaker and new tubes, or a used Cornford Hurricane. I play mostly soft...

Ok, so now I've got an offer from a guy who owns an original '67 Deluxe Reverb for 15 000 kroner, which is about the same as for a new '59 bassman RI. So, can anyone out there tell me about the '67 DR? Is it a good year? It has Celestion g12k-85, if that matters.

I'm going to buy a new tube amp. I need about 30-50 watt, as I don't need to be superloud, but must be able to compete with the drummer and play small gigs. The price range is about $1000 (which will be much more here in Norway :damnit: ). I play mostly rock, blues and jazzy music, and I've...

I tried this lovely amp at my local (guitar)dealer. WoW! What a sound! On the note on top of it, it was written "with improved tubes, speaker and cabinet", but my god, it's the best amp I've tried for months (better than the DRRI on clean sound. I can't understand why). I've started on my summer...

Hi, I'm just another guy who's not certain in his next pickup choice. You see, last automn, I bought the Fender Highway 1 Telecaster and the Marshall 100hdfx. Sounds great. However, I'm not satisfied with the pickups; the neck is a little muddy without highs, and the bridge is far, far too...
