    Solid Tube amps on a budget. Help?

    My buddy has a 3120. He loves the thing. I have the 6505+. I love the thing. I recommend the peaveys. I've only heard the bad things about the Bugeras. Never used one though, so it's just hear say for me. I just know I love mine. Now you said you need good cleans, the 6505 isn't that...

    Hot new Septor in at Rondo

    Looks like they are charging 75 bucks more for the passive pickups. That's pretty lame. It would be nice to get one in white, though.

    Sevens and Strings

    D'Addario 10's seven string set: D'Addario Electric Guitar 7-string Environmental XL Regular Lite, .010 - .059, EXL110-7 They sound great. They hold up. They are consistent. The price is right, too. The SIT's are great and even a little cheaper. I can't believe more people don't play the S...

    Pickup advise

    I like my Dimarzio Evolution in the bridge and I just put in a Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck position. The evo gives you the tight rhythm that I was looking for. It's an unforgiving pickup though. It is crystal clear even in extreme amounts of distortion. No hiding behind the wall of...

    Death metal/Extreme metal fans - WHY do you like this music?

    I listen to death metal because it hits hard. It makes you listen. I draws you in hard. Some great playing involved, too. What people forget is that death metal started out much different than it is today. Think of the old stuff like first few Death albums, Obituary, Entombed, Possessed...

    Recently fell in love with Bolt Thrower

    Holy shit, that video is so goddamn awesome. The guy who put that together is fucking genius. Didn't know that action sequence could get any better. But they proved me wrong! Thank you so much for sharing.

    The bands/artists that friends mock you for liking?

    Def Leppard-High 'n' Dry album People would know how drunk I was when I came home blasting this and jumping off the table playing air guitar. Some peope give me shit for liking Mercyful Fate, too. They just pretend to like metal. Huey Lewis and the News. Come on man, the Heart of Rock and Roll...

    Recently fell in love with Bolt Thrower

    Bolt Thrower fucking rules. I like ...For Victory the best. They came out when Grindcore first hit. If you like Bolt Thrower, check out the old Swedish Death metal like Entombed, Dismember, Edge of Sanity. Also check out the rest of the Grindcore stuff like Napalm Death, Terrorizer that sort...

    Look up something online. I just did on google. There will be something you can get to make it work. As for powering it up, looks like that one takes 9V AC. Don't use an AC adapter. Make sure it says output: 9V AC. This is just a step-down transformer. Don't use a 9V DC one like on...

    Who inspired you to play seven?

    Trey Azagthoth had something to do with it. I believe Cannibal Corpse was using them around that time too. I wanted to have the downtuned guitar without downtuning. I remember it was a huge fad when I picked mine up. I bought a 7 string Rogue on a whim from musicians friend and I have been...

    My first Djent attempt

    I had to look up what Djent was since I didn't know what it even meant. According to some guy on the internet: Djent is the sound the bandwagon makes when everyone gets on it. After I listened to some of the music utilizing what they call Djent style, I realized he may be right. It sounds...

    Can't pick amp head.

    Absolute badass tone for death metal? Did you consider the Peavey 6505 or 5150? I've got the 6505+. When everyone else is having trouble with their gear, I plug straight in with a sonic maximizer and a noise gate and blow them out of the water. Best part about it is that it's made in the USA...

    Oh yeah, I forgot. Condenser mics require 48V phantom power. Make sure that your mic preamp can provide this. And don't fry any equipment when you have it on. Look this up on Google. This is explained many times over on there.

    Newbies Need Advise

    Last year I was using a desktop with a pentium 4 on Windows 2000. I think you have a good enough computer to run it. Just remember to keep a good chunk of your hard drive freed up and to keep most background programs from running. Also, turning off your network or internet connection helps...

    What you probably will want is some sort of multi-track recording software. Multi-track means you can layer different recordings on top of each other. This lets you record instruments 1 at a time and mix them all down in the end. This is the trick to getting polished recordings like you hear...

    Know lots about potentiometers

    I used Fender No-Loads on my Rogue 7-string Frankenstein. There is a modification to use the Fender No-Load as a volume pot. They are 250K pots and they work. The only problem is when you turn the thing down to 0, it still lets some signal through. A noise gate fixes this pretty well. I...

    Post your most "Metal" pic of yourself and your 7!!!

    I've got quite a few metal pics. Here's two pretty metal ones: I should find a way to shoot lazers from my eyes, breathe fire and play with gloves of metal. That would make these pics a bit more metal. Possibly a cape as well. Oh yeah, the lazers would also have to be incinerating kittens.

    Active pick-ups. Am I going to hate them?

    This one helped. Thanks to everyone for helping me out. I just wanted a good idea before I go try them out. I also wanted some insight before I even purchase a guitar loaded with them. I also have a hard time trying this stuff out due to my location. Hell, I am like the only guy around here...

    Active pick-ups. Am I going to hate them?

    I am looking to purchase a new guitar. I'm blown away by the features on these Agile guitars and the prices. I also notice that the ones I seem to gravitate towards are loaded with either EMG 707's or the Seymour Duncan Blackouts. I've been a huge Dimarzio fan for the past few years. I...
