Very cool, congrats on the new job. Wishing all the best for you .

I'm going to offer another opinion:

I voted for keeping the Tech21. It is a great pedal and does very good Tweed, Mesa, and Marshall impressions. It may be a bit more complex than you want with...

I've got three DS-1 pedals, one is my main one, the other two are eventually going to be modded. All three are current Taiwanese manufacture. My main one sounds very good, I don't get all the hatred...

Any of the amps listed so far are going to be about 15 watts. If you're just practicing, they might be okay. If you gig with it you may need to mike it through the PA (if there is one) or run the...

It's just a matter of keeping at it and asking questions. If I can learn this stuff, anybody can. I don't come from a technical background, so it was a pretty steep learning curve. And I'm mostly...

I'd hold out for something better that actually sounds good. I agree with Deeaa, that amp is likely to sound very bad.

If you're just playing by yourself, you probably don't need a lot of...

Hardly. I would bet that Ch0jin has forgotten more about electronics than I'll ever know. I've just been doing this a long time and am OCD/pedantic about minute details.



FWIW, I suspect a lot...

They'll probably be snapped up by collectors and speculators. After the initial run sells out, I expect to see them on eBay for 2x-3x retail soon after. A few years later, they'll be made of...

Yup. :dude :rockya

Lacuna Coil, Dark Adrenaline. I got the deluxe edition with a very creepy DVD of music video shorts featuring the lovely Ms. Scabbia...

In my case, I got into building my own amps because I couldn't afford to buy a http://www.amptone.com/himu5-5.htm amp, which was a nice take on the Fender Champ, but with high gain capabilities. It...

A buddy of mine has a Pritchard amp. He loves his. I've never heard one in person. He's sent it back to the designer/builder (name escapes me) to have it tweaked to his liking. Apparently, the...

I have the album on order from Amazon. :rockya :dude

Sounds very good, very versatile. Although 100W is way overkill for my needs. There is a power reduction switch on back, but still seems like a waste since I would never be able to open it up.

I...

I'd love to have one of these:

Looks pretty cool. Although I think I like the strat-shaped Steinberger guitars better. The Carvin is a nice alternative.

Here is a NAMM video:

Very cool. I'd love to have the JCM head. For my needs, a 50W JCM800 head would be way overkill. And way to loud.

I wonder what output tube(s) they will use? My guess is either 12AU7 or 12AT7 for...

I'd look at publishing in ebook format for Kindle and Nook. Remember that most big-selling authors like James Patterson or Stephen King charge $9.99US for their ebooks, so you'll most likely...

I taught myself how to build this stuff to substitute for lack of musical ability. I never really got anywhere on the guitar when I practiced, so I went off into collecting stuff, and then building...

I discovered Pink Floyd the first year I went to high school, which was 1980. The Wall had just been released the previous year.

"Comfortably Numb" was my favorite song for a long because of the...

Buckethead/Praxis: "Seven Laws of Woo" from Transmutation

David Lindley: "Mercury Blues" from El Rayo-X

Black Sabbath: "Zero the Hero" from Born Again

I've seen that video and it makes me cringe. That guy is sticking both hands inside the chassis at the same time. Not a good idea. At the very least you could get a nasty shock. Worst case scenario...

Now that's just crazy talk. :)
