Mxr (old) is noisy AF. I use Empress Para Deluxe.

I have the black. There is “sworn testimony“ here and there the new blue is quieter. I quit graphic for now and went para.

To me the problem is not the “deep dive”. That’s his schtick. The problem is a deep dive into a worthless subject. He does scientific approach to the nth degree with things. This is just “water is wet.. now let me explain that with no measurement or novelty in the discussion for 20 min.”

Best TB I have owned so far, including the BB from AM.

Yes. Scary in the 1959, Evo in the 2203. Starting fresh I would have 2 Scaries. The 1959 just needs it to dial in the exact amount if gain or kill it from the circuit. The 2203 can survive fine with the cruder Lo/Hi “always engaged“ boost but the ability to dial precisely or completely out of...

a YT personality said it in his video: Tubes aren’t EQs. If you are unable to dial what you want on the amp’s EQ and/or the Eq pedal, NFW are you going to get there with tubes. The easier thing to do is dial the amp itself as acceptably as you can and compare with the EQ in front (since you are...

Probably 2 red flags seeing how anal CAN was about electrical safety standards. 78 was the most loose “anything goes” year of the JMP but I’d guess the least amount of fuckery went into CAN models for governmental standards reasons.

So it seems we are moving off from discussing divergent opinions to spouting off mindless shit. On behalf of Jimi Hendrix and Albert King, you know… the founding fathers of all those pointy guitars you hate so much (that joined the most nauseatingly gaudy superstrats in the 80s) you and your...

I was a LP hater for years considering the weight and ergos, but they make very good studio guitars- surprised me years ago to discover that bigsby LP on the Doors records instead of the SG. I’m good with super strats but can’t stand traditional ones - I hate the “quack” with a passion.

Imagine? That was reality this afternoon through the stock 498T of my Les Paul into my 1959RR. That was the reality this evening when I switched to P90s in my SG Special. That was also the reality last week when playing the T-Tops and Burstbuckers in my Vs. The Superlead is the definition of...

You are completely entitled to own opinion (notwithstanding the point you asked for confirmation by starting your own thread about it). Essentially, what you are describing is Kill em All… an invader through a goosed Superlead (TS for you, Jose mod for him w/w-out a RAT). People appreciate that...

Yes and no. It is agreed that 60s Lead/SuperLeads are the absolute grail. Early metal faces are highly desirable to ‘73. However, a mid-late 70s NMV is not particularly special other than great sounding amps thar are the most attractive Marshalls made, IMO. The JMP Master Volumes will never...

Um, no… you asked us here if we agree that it is the greatest sound ever. I certainly agree, it was used well in front of some 2203 recordings and it has a good workable tone, but greatest sound ever? No. The Tim is better. The TC Boost/Line Driver + Distortion is better. The MXR D+ is better...

All the things you yourself point out make this seem like bullshit. Hard to imagine losing the COA, though certainly possible. IIRC, Gibson will sell a replacement with verification, somwhy not replace it to sell for a better premium? Now, if the case (with COA) didn’t transfer over to this...

. JMP master volume? It is the sound of Ride the Lightning and Celtic Frost- definite potential for excellence, though I prefer the SD-1 thanks to all the zealots here extolling its virtues. TS and NMV? Not a big fan, actually. Mine feels finicky towards it, prefering something like the MXR D+...

Confused as to how you don’t know the amp is 50 or 100w, but you don’t seem to need help with the S/N seeing how you accurately calculated T = 1985

irony? Ler’s see… were you let down by the inferior pictures that you actually paid for to someone holding out to be a professional photographer? Am I earning a paycheck for entertaining certain dullards here with a loose command of the concept of irony? Was I “selling” my shitty product to...

But for the fact that you reference early-90s it may seem I would have to be a lot older than you, but given your reference… very unlikely. Thanks to RR, Anthrax, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield (sort of), and of course Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman, Jackson (which did have cheaper student...

Saw two shows this week. Last week band 1 has a 6505 amp. Muddy ass. Maybe nor ass, but completely buried in the mix. I asked him what speakers (V30s) and commented the upper registers were nice and clear, but the chugs disappeared. Week 1, last band: 6505+. Great mix throughout. checked with...

AC/DC was mostly JTM and Plexi with a 2203:in Back in Black. I believe Allman played a Super Bass (or Bass). Black Crowes is a Silver Jubilee, and when using a Marshall (often times he did not record with one but used them live) Page was playing a Super Lead. Just among the Marshall players...
