    Wanna sell a few guitars...Can anyone help me appraise?

    Don't expect a quick sale. That's all I can tell you. Stuff will sell but it will take a while for the right buyer to come along. It all depends upon condition. If you buy a collector guitar like a Gibson custom shop or a PRS custom shop, and intend to some day sell it for a decent price...

    Looking for some speaker advice...What speakers do you LOVE?

    You know you can EQ GBs so they don't sound shrill, right? Purple Fanes are my favorites.

    Resonance/Presence modding to speaker specs

    It all depends upon the acoustics and volume level in dB.

    Thinking about selling MTS gear...

    FWIW due to hearing issues (i'm nearly deaf in one ear and I'm protecting my good ear) I haven't turned on my RM100 LB in 2 yrs. I've got a recording rig with nearfields and a subwoofer and have been using a POD HD500. I've learned how to dial in a very good tone with it. I've also got Komplete...

    Rivera Rock Crusher Power Attenuator

    91 db is still hella loud. An example is playing fortissimo on an open concert grand. That loud. When they measure that on a speaker that's 1 watt at 1 meter distance. You will notice it as a little less than 1/2 as loud as the open speaker. So if you're in an apartment situation, that's not...

    So when are we gonna see a Marshall JMP-1 mod

    So the JMP-1 doesn't clean up with the volume knob? Interesting. My POD HD does. I've been playing around with the new Plexi 100 model (firmware update) which goes from bluesy clean to full out Lynch just with the volume knob on the guitar, depending upon where you have the drive set.

    Rivera Rock Crusher Power Attenuator

    It may be better made, but I'm skeptical. You crank the level of a 100 W tube amp and reduce the volume of it down to under 1 W with an attenuator it'll sound like you're playing a clean amp with a distortion pedal at very low volume. The speaker still isn't going to travel as far. It's simple...

    I got a new toy :D

    So how does the case smell? When I got mine it smelled like snickerdoodle cookies. I love the smell of new Gibsons.

    Customer service SUCKS!

    Considering how cheap tubes are FOR THEM. Just put the things in a box and ship mail them.

    Buying and Selling Modules - A question of responsibility

    Given all the hassles with shipping is why I usually take the hit and trade crap in at Guitar Center. It's working when it gets there. They give me money. Usually not what I want, but it's done. Then I get something I want. If someone buys the stuff from them and it doesn't work then it's Guitar...

    OD pedal suggestions?

    just grab the Boss SD-1 and drop the Allums mod in it. You'll be good to go.

    Considering 3 new amps...Which one?

    JVM == that was the Marshall that blew up. :shock: Soldano -- you really only need 50W these days at most. I'd even give Mike a call about a Hot Rod 50 Plus. He'll make you one. The man is just awesome. But if you have your heart set on the SLO and you are making the money to afford one, go...

    Considering 3 new amps...Which one?

    Actually after reading his signature.... WTF do you need another amp? How about taking up keyboards or something like that? Korg makes some nice ones.

    Considering 3 new amps...Which one?

    I'd grab a second hand Soldano Hot Rod 50 Plus if you can find one. It has the same overdrive section as the SLO. You can find them for about $1400. JVMs are crap. I wouldn't own one.

    Why Isn't MTS Huge?

    After two experiences with Marshall amps.... one just wasn't what I wanted, and the other one blew up.... I came to the conclusion that they are basically way overpriced and poor quality. People who can afford them now are either kids who buy the MG model because they're cheap and look...

    Should I swap the 6L6s in my RM50 for EL34s?

    You'll just get a little more headroom.

    Why Isn't MTS Huge?

    1. Lack of marketing 2. Lack of marketing 3. Most stock modules need modding to match the real deals. 4. High quality modeling works better for 90% of the players because they don't gig anymore and sound better at low volume. FWIW.... the brick and mortar stores in my area have had a fire sale...

    JF OD Special

    I've got two donor modules for this. Just saving pennies. KH-1 and Deluxe. :D I want one of them to nail the Robben Ford "Politician" tone, and the other to nail the John Mayer clean tone. I know he puts a switch so both should be able to do this, but they'll both be in the amp at the same...
