Hey guys,

Alright...this will be installment one of the Vox AC30 Custom Classicd. This won't be as in depth as installments two and three (to follow after I've had more than a few days to mess with it...probably at the 2 and 3 week periods)Well I hooked my tube screamer up to it for the first time this morning and let me tell you it was the most transparent beautiful overdrive I've ever heard. It almost brought a tear to my eye how perfect this sound is for me. my favorite tone thus far is blending the normal and top boost channels together, both low volume, cranking the master, ..normal volume on quot;brilliancequot; and the top boost channel on quot;standardquot;. Very glassy pristine clean tone, EVEN WITH THE LES PAUL!! With my Les Paul, there was NO true clean tone on my mesa/boogie. The pickups (which are only Duncan 59's, not high output pickups) pushed it into overdrive so easy. This one stays quite clean even when strumming hard which is something I missed about my Les Paul through the Mesa/Boogie, the clean tone. I switched to a pretty medium reverb (by Fender standards) and a pretty deep tremolo, and switched the tube screamer on and I swear I heard God talk amongst the swirling wonderful reverbating beauty of that overdriven tone So far I'm really loving it and the fact that the reverb and tremolo are footswitchable make me very happy. Add to that the fact that the cable for the footswitch is freakin 20'!! I'm so tired of little 10' footswitch chords...I unraveled this thing and fell in love with the footswitch before I even plugged it in..I knew I would be able to get a bit further from my amp than I normally do (not that I will, but I could!)

I am about to purchase a Crate/Ampeg V1512 Combo and a ceramic tone tubby hemp cone speaker is offered as an upgrade. How much will this improve the tone of the amp particularly in warming up the clean tone? I have been offered the amp at such a discounted price (old friends with the dealer) that it is cheaper with the upgrade than it would have been without it normally. I know nothing about speakers but these seem to have a pretty large fan base.

Would you prefer a mass produced guitar (like a PRS) or a guitar built like you want it by a small builder (Like PRS used to be)?

well, i got the 100 on the way, and the 50 would be loud enough if i actually USED it for its distortion, which right now sounds like crap, so...help me pick a mod amp; i'll be your friend forever

Hey what do you think about this guitar? How much is it worth?

I've been a JB player for about 2 years now and I'm looking for a bit of a change. While surfing the Dimarzio website I came along the Air and was wondering if it's a quality pickup. I play mostly quot;modernquot; stuff that's in the rock genre more often than not, so would this be a good pickup for me?

Hey

Anyone spent any time with a 10 and 12 in the same amp?

Well, I'm all new to theory, and I've been reading some stuff on a homepage, where it says I should start with learning the C major scale (think it's called that in english, but I don't know), and there's some pictures..For example, they say this is all the tones on the fretboard:
But on the picture there's 24 frets, and I only have 22, so how can I use those theory things on my guitar??
