    Guitarmory Pickups - General Consensus and changes

    And the "it'll be done soon bro, seriously" stringing along and utter disrespect for customers has not changed, apparently.

    Guitarmory Pickups - General Consensus and changes

    Frankly, after seeing how they did Equilibrium dirty around NAMM 2019, I don't know how that wasn't the end of it. Those of you who knew Dave Cohen (or even met the guy in passing) will know he was a hard guy to piss off. I never saw him that angry before or since. For those who don't know this...

    Dave Cohen of Equilibrium Guitars Has Passed Away

    Yeah, this was a fucking awful way to start my week. Dave was a close friend, and I am going to miss him terribly.

    Why are you sad right now?

    Yeah, same story here. He was a good friend. Nicest guy in the business too.

    Have there been any Mesa amp changes from Gibson?

    My understanding is Mesa switched to Magnetic Components (Classictone) because Schumacher stopped doing USA production. I don't know if that's the case any more or if it's even entirely accurate. I'm somewhat surprised Mesa went with Schumacher and not Heyboer or Hammond after Magnetic...

    Peavey 6505 1992 Original and 6505II

    I'm going to hazard a guess here: higher bandwidth, lower distortion/higher power handling? I know when I had a 5152 and I swapped in a ClassicTone SLO style OT the difference in clarity and punch was rather surprising. The core was way more layers and a good deal thicker.

    KRK RP5 vs. JBL LSR 305: Best Budget Monitor

    Neither. Kali LP-6s crush both of these.

    Obsidious (ex-Obscura)

    This is pretty cool. The clean vocals took my by surprise but I'm into it.

    NGD: Equilibrium FT6!

    WOWOWOW that's yours? I saw that and it blew my damn mind.

    Biggest gear ownership disappointment

    Yeah, and that managed to get me all of two usable tones.

    Biggest gear ownership disappointment

    Definitely the Mesa Mark IV I owned for about a month. That amp did absolutely nothing for me, and it was like trying to dial in a fighter jet. I might be the odd one out here, but I find Rectos to be very easy to dial. The big thing to realize is the presence control in modern mode interacts...

    ESP LTD (the best of)

    I've owned like... 12 LTDs over the last decade. I've gotten exactly one lemon, and that was a 2020 when QC in general dropped because of covid. ESP is currently replacing it.

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Well my latest purchase was kind of a dud. I need to send this LTD baritone back to ESP because it has a twist in the neck...

    Celestion V-Type demonstration, similar to a V30 but more mid scooped

    Yup, it's a cool speaker.

    6505+ 112 Combo vs 5150 50w

    The phase inverter is a completely different design so the power amp doesn't respond the same at all. It's an LTP in the heads and a split load in the combo. LTPs have some gain (around 25, for 12AX7 with normal Marshall values), split loads don't.
