So I have been throwing around ideas in my head for a high gain yet versatile bedroom rig to jam at my friend's house, who has a really anal neighbor (my Rectoverb is apparently excessive). I was thinking about getting a preamp like an ENGL E530 and running it through the power section of an Epi...

Craigslist has brought me no luck so I figured I'd put some feelers out here to see where that gets me. Can't hurt, right? Basically I am looking to downsize my rig and am planning on getting rid of my Rect-O-Verb setup and picking up a Boogie Mark III combo. I'd love to find someone who would...

I'm having the weirdest issue with my guitar/amps. It started doing this when I still had the 5150II. Whenever I play any chord with the low E involved it sounds sour... on ALL of my guitars. At first I thought it was bad tuning.. but everything checked out fine. Then I was worried it was my...

Am I crazy, or is this the most AWESOME thing on the planet. I'm in love with it! Linky This has me seriously considering selling off my ESP and picking one of these babies up. Opinions anyone?

Alright, so according to UPS tracking, my Rectoverb Series I head should be here tomorrow. I'm excited as always about a new piece of gear. It'll be sooo nice to have a real clean channel again (my 5150's clean was a joke) and a bit of versatility. So, anyone have any tips for making these...

Ebay Auction (Oh, I'm also up for trade offers if anyone wants to throw anything out there.. especially a Rectoverb, Single Recto, or something like that...)

Alright, so I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the 5150 era has ended for me and I want to move on to new and different things. I'm looking for a new head in the general $1000 dollar range in the used market. I want something more versatile than the 5150, and with less buzz and fizz in...

And for some reason...the speaker cable won't fit into the top jack on the back of the cab.. and when I plug it into the bottom I get a "blanket over the speakers" kind of effect.. think its a problem with the cab, the settings, or maybe the batteries in my EMG's? The fact that I can't get the...

So I've decided with my Avatar cab on its way that I owe my 5150 another chance to really wow me before I decide put it on the 'bay again. What really brings out the best in 5150II's? I've been thinking about bias modding it and/or perhaps throwing an EQ in the FX loop. Maybe some reverb for the...

Ok, so I've been looking to do some mods to my wah pedal lately. I was going to buy from Small Bear but I found out they only take Paypal and checks. So, where is a good place to get resistors, capacitors and the like?

Ok, selling my 5150II head. I'm looking to get 750+ shipping but I am flexible to offers. Also interested trades for a single rectifier, rectoverb (head or combo), Mark III, possibly JCM800 or things along those lines. I just re-tubed the head with JJ's and they have very few hours on them. The...

Peavey 5150II Head I realize I was asking a bit much last time, so here it is relisted with a price drop!

Ok, so I've decided to sell my 5150ii. I don't need a 120w half stack.. it's just plain overkill! So I'm in the market for a good tube combo. I've had my heart set on a JCM800 and a pedal to boost. But lately I've been considering some of my other options. My only real beef with the JCM800 is...
