hey I LOVE the guitar tone in this metal anthem from Accept. the opening riff has this awesome clear but quot;grindyquot; quality to the sustain. it makes me wanna shoot guns in the house

I was just telling flank this...but, you guys may remember a few weeks ago I installed some NOS 6L6WGB Jan Phillips tubes into the HellHound that I am using. I put these in and they simply turned the HH into a monster. It sounds so huge with these tubes. Over the weekend I put the EH 6L6GC's back in just to compare. It still gets decent tone but it is definitely thinner, cleaner sounding with lower volume. The only problem is the neck Texas Hot now sounds very bass-y. Too bassy and kinda muddy. I still need to lower the pup and see if that will clear it up.

Hey all, im after the little Sonic Stomp box to muck around with. I live in NZ and they havent even got a price on these yet. So is there a good online shop i can get one from. They retail for about $99 right?

I picked up a 1972 Sound City 50 Plus head. All Sound City's were hand wired and they all have PARTRIDGE transformers. It's laid out pretty much like a Plexi Marshall...4 inputs, 2 volumes, bass, middle, treble. It has no control for the presence, but big deal! It runs 2 EL-34, 3 12ax7's and 1 12at7. There is a switch in the back labeled quot;sensitivtyquot; that makes this thing crunch a little sooner but, let me tell you this, THIS MOTHER IS LOUD! I will be getting a Weber Mini mass asap! Anybody that tells you that these amps are not well built is dead wrong! Killer transformers, handwired, high quality caps, resisters, pots, etc...this really is a fine amp, and can be had for less that 1/4 of what a Marshall from the same year would go for! Jeff Seal told me that he would take a Sound City over a Marshall Super Lead or a HiWatt, and now I know why! Mine happens to be very, VERY clean and I am the 3rd owner! The real kicker is the guy I bought it from put NOS Mullard power tubes and NOS Amperex pre amp tubes in it and they have very few hours on them!!! Anybody that wants that late 60's/early 70's Marshall vibe but doesn't want to pay big bucks would do themselves a huge favor to hold out and find a Sound City! Im running this thing into a Fane loaded 4x12 cab and it just kills...After a few more days I will post a better review. But so far, I will tell you this...I will be buying every Sound City amps can put my hands on! It's just SO touch sensitive, it has a good clean tone, and the crunch is to die for and, you can control the whole thing just with the guitars volume control! You have to crank it to get it to crunch, but as soon as I get a mini mass I will be able to control the overall volume and still get crunch...I am amazed by how good this amp sounds.

Ok this is my final question regarding bill lawrence pickups then im taking the plunge. What exactly does this Q filter do? The website says it changes the impendance of the the pickups and a review on harmony central says that can get acoustic like sounds out of his electric with this installed but how exactly does it change ur sound and how many possibilities are there with this device? Thanks in advance.

Hello all...
I was hoping that the community here could get me some info and thoughts on the Jap made strats.

I'm getting either a Single Rec or a Dual Rec. I've already got a Vox AC30 and Fender Super Reverb for clean and blues. I want something for crunch. Is there a significant difference between the Single's and the Dual's crunch? Can I get away with the Single?

I just bought a 1972 traynor YBA1-A head with a speaker cabinet consisting of one 15quot; Vega speaker and a Cobreflex horn. I love this amp, and it was far too good a deal to pass up. My only problem is the sound level. This thing is really loud!! Are there any simple ways to bring the volume down without effecting the tone too much. I was thinking that maybe a volume control on the speaker would be a nice simple way to cut the level a bit. I think I could manage that on my own. Has anyone had any experience with this? If so any and all suggestions are welcome - thanks

I've got this Red Epiphone dot That I hate. Not cause its a bad guitar or anything (actully one of the best epi dots I've ever played), But Because It was a gift from my ex-wife. And She's done alotta Bad stuff to My daughter and I. So The guitar just has lots of Bad Vibes for me. So I'm thinking of Tradeing it in, or selling it. And I was wondering if anyone knew what the trade in value of these are? Or what the going rate for a used one is?

I was fiddling with my new jnr last night and started wondering:
