Hi, I'm wondering if anyone using high gain modules has needed to use a noise gate? I'm talking underground metal/punk mega gain here. I've always had to clamp down like crazy with my MXR smart gate with my all solid state rig, but I'm hoping that since I won't be using a distortion pedal that...

I haven't tried WGS, but I have to say that Celestions are waaaaaaaaay overrated imho :D . They are just sort of bassy and smooth. I have a full stack loaded with Celestions, and I always thought they sounded good, but I was just buying into marketing hype. I got one of the Rocktron velocity...

Well, I'm wondering if any of you RM users, especially those of you with 3+ channels, are using active EQ's pre, but especially post preamp? I'm wondering if I might not need my MXR 10 band since I'd have tone control for each of the RM4 preamps, plus the 3 band on my head... Well, I suppose I...

How about an Orange sound with a bit more bite in the gain? I would love to get that snappy class A sound, but with enough gain to not need a pedal to get above a "classic rock distortion" sound.

UPDATE: this Ibanez S is now on egay http://cgi.ebay.com/Upgraded-Ibanez-S_W0QQitemZ250248244346QQihZ015QQcategoryZ33043QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I'm sorry if I should have done this in one post, but two different pieces of gear=two different posts imho, now that that's out of the...

Yeah, I have to agree that I'm not overly fond of the tone, BUT I'm mostly a rhythm player who palm mutes a lot. However, I think that Randy's LEAD tone was spectacular, of course, his lead tone was his rhythm tone, and a spectacular lead tone equals a craptacular rhythm tone, really :D .

For sale are two Kustom 4x12's from when Kustom first issued the Quad series, which were much better made than the current ones. I'm selling these because I just don't have any need for a full stack or even a half stack anymore. The grill is a vintage weave, the real deal. The speakers are...

I have a Maxcom compressor that has a sonic maximizer on each channel, and it rocks for recording. I mean, if each piece of my gear cost $4,000 then I wouldn't have a need for it, but it rocks for my home studio :D .

Believe it or not, my main axe is a Jay Turser mosrite clone. Wow, the thing just rules. I can't believe it cost me less than $500. Well, I changed the stock parts, of course: graph tech nut, new pu's, new wiring, new pots and all that stuff, and I routed out the "tremolo" cavity and bolted...

Stock pickups are like stock drumheads as far as I'm concerned...... But, that's only me. If you really want the best pickups money can buy, get some Ballurios or just have Keith Ballurio build you some custom ones. Oh, but that is pricey, hahahahahahaha :? . I got a custom neodymium P90...

Get a Les Paul or equally crappy sounding guitar, run that into a crappy pedal like a Distortion +, run that into an MXR 10 band using a rainbow (frown) EQ, crank the gain on a fuzzy amp like a mid gain Marshall amp (or module), turn your mids all the way up, and you should be pretty close to...

Have you considered going solid state? I find that the perfect hardcore tone is a tube preamp going into a solid state power amp, at least for me. And you certainly get "sizzle" with a solid state head, well, not so much sizzle, but clarity. Kustom makes an excellent ss head, you can see the...

Thanks, SacredGroove. I looked and looked and looked, and every freaking place had the same price... Oh well. I couldn't even get any coupon codes for the evil empire :cry: . So, I placed an order with Funkymunkymusic.com for a Blackface and Ultra. Once the RM4 and mosules arrive (by the...

Hello, Sorry everyone if this is in the wrong place, but I just got a fantastic deal on a RM4 preamp from an awesome forum member, and considering the modules themseles aren't all that expensive, I'd rather buy new than play the Ebay game.... So, does anyone know of a good online retailer to...

How is the Kirk Hammet clean channel: KH1? It says it remains clean even at high volumes; how does it compare to the blackface as far as pristine clean goes?

The thing is, you have to adjust your spring tension. If you keep the springs at standard tension (E tuning with 9's), the tremolo will return sharp if you are tuned to B or C with 9's, because with drop tunings there is less tension on one or more of your strings. So, you'll have to find what...

Thanks, axecellent, this is exactly what I was after. Now I'm pretty sure I'll go with the ultra for my bread and butter distortion channel, probably the regular ultra, since it has the "tight" low end. I hadn't considered chaning caps, although, I do guitar tech work so I assume it couldn't...

Hello, all, I'm new here. I've always been a solid state user, but now that the MTS series has come out, the sheer versatility makes me want to switch to the tube preamps. I just need help finding the right modules. I play mostly what you'd call SoCal speed punk: early NOFX, Guttermouth...
