    Rack on a budget

    The Peavey 50/50 is a very underrated power amp. Really nice for the money.

    Poweramp Shootout

    Well, I'm in the middle of putting together my rack right now. It will have: Furman PL-Plus Power Conditioner X2 XDR95 (Rackmount) Wireless Dunlop DCR-1SR Rackmount Wah GCX Audio Switcher Rack Shelf (w/Maxon OD808, BOSS NS-2, Dunlop Power Brick) Rocktron Xpression FX Processor (Random Preamp...

    Overlooked and underappreciated Black Sabbath tunes

    YES! :hbang: The whole "Volume 4" album as a whole gets overlooked from the early Ozzy-era catalogue, and "Under the Sun" is an absolutely crushing track I wish more people paid attention to. The intro is massive, and then Iommi starts the main riff. He plays it a few times and when the whole...

    Next step: effects!

    It's definitely possible. I had an old Mesa Mark amp from around '83 or so that still had the original tubes and sounded great. You could have tubes that fail you after a week or tubes that you might have a lifetime that still do their job well. Some poeple will argue they lose their tone over...

    Next step: effects!

    Why not just get something like a Rocktron Intellifex used? I see people selling the older ones all the time for $100 or so. I just saw one of the original models (which still sound good for the money) go on E-Bay for $65 a few days ago. Chorus, delay, reverb, etc. I think for the money (aka-...

    Poweramp Shootout

    The 12AX7's are just driver tubes. They'll just give the signal a push to the power section for you. You'll probably never have to replace them since they don't get abused by the nature of their job. For Mesa power amps, just depends on the application. Do you have to have the half power...

    Another Rig/Tone Discussion

    Oh, you have no idea how much... :cool: I bought the first one with the intent of putting a rack together, then ended up between jobs for a bit and it became too much of a hassle having to compromise what I wanted in order to not spend too much until things picked up. Well, things picked back...

    Wah wah pedal shoot out -

    "Hello, my name is Jack, and I'm a wah whore..." :cool: I've owned more wahs than I can count looking for my sound. Here's my rundown of some of the ones I've owned and my (brief) thoughts on them: Dunlop Crybaby (Many models, including the newer fasel): The "standard" wah by many peoples...

    The preamp thread!

    The "Phat Mod" doesn't affect the entire Triaxis, just Lead 1 RED. The Triaxis has went through a few different versions on Lead 1 RED. It started off on Version 1, which was a "High Gain Brit Mode." After that, it went to Version 2 which was the "Recto" mode. This was mostly akin to the Recto...

    I do not like people who buy to sell.

    I think that may have been the original intent, but after re-reading the first post, it seemed more like a rant about people buying gear then selling it quickly in general (and not keeping it) instead of about profit... :cool: This is also true. If you buy a piece of gear for $600 and the...
