So I'm cruising my local Craigslist and I see listing for "Vintage Ampeg solid state amp...$70". The pic is instantly recognizable even though the badge is long gone. It's an Ampeg SS140C! I called the guy, checked it out and now I am the proud owner. Best of all he was willing to take $50...

That sucks. :( I did see a used Titan at GC for $399. That may be the way to go.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Currently I play a Mesa Dual Recto. Every where I play someone's got one. Its getting to be a generic sound. There are 2 other guitarists in my band. Guess what they play? I need to switch things up a bit and maybe with a mixture of tube and SS we can get a more...

There is something about those old school Randalls that I like. I bought an RH G3+ and returned it immediately because a pot didn't work and the transformer was rusted to hell right out of the box. Maybe the earlier Randalls were made better? I think I can get a decent price for the amps I...

I'm thinking of picking up either one of these amps and I figured I'd ask you guys for your opinion and past experiences. I have a Tube Screamer and a 10 band MXR EQ that I'm willing to use with any one of these guys but is one amp better than the other? Does the Century 170 have more gain on...

Will do. Thanks!

I bought the amp used about 2 years ago and the guy said the it had been re-tubed recently. I think I swap some of the pre-amp tubes around (leaving V5 in place) to see if there is a difference. If there is still noise I'll open it up and look at the caps. It still has great sound and is...

With distortion cranked and my guitar turned all the way down I get loud random crackly noise and some light hissing. Bad pre-amp tubes? Bad cap? Anyone have a similar experience?

Buy a cheap Boss NS2 and hook it up in the x config. Your amp will sound like its completely off when you aren't playing. Sounds like BS but its true. I used this setup for a long time until I bought my mesa with a shitty parallel loop.

I have a 3 channel Dual Recto and the regular ISP decimator and it works great. Don't get the G String version unless you want to use for something else down the line with a working SERIES effects loop. Your Dual Rec (like mine) has a shitty worthless parallel loop whose soul purpose is to...

Damnit! Now I want to get rid of my TSL602 practice amp and get an HT5.

I'm in a hardcore/metal/industrial band and for a few years I was also in a country and classic rock band. While I didn't really fit in because I wasn't sporting a strat with Texas specials or a blues jr, I did manage to learn a shit ton of different techniques and ways to approach live music...

That is exactly what I mean. I want to depress the switch while playing a pinch harmonic and have it trail off while I'm playing the next passage. I've had the small DL4 and the big DL4, both have trails but no momentary switch. I'm ok with a buffer as long as I can find what I'm looking for...

looking into it!

I'm looking for a delay pedal with a momentary switch and a tails/spillover setting. Anything out there like this? :scratch:

Anybody seen / play one of these yet? The Digitech TH-150 debuted at this years NAMM show. With 5 ECC83S and 4 KT88s I thought it would roar. In the few youtube videos it's in it sounds like a broken pinball machine with bad wiring. The best part is that the price point is a mind blowing...

I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a dual rectifier so the midi option is available but the prices at RJM are pretty steep. There is 1 song in our set that I need to be on the clean channel and have EQ, chorus and a tiny bit of delay kicked in. 3/4 through the song I go back to the red...

Thanks!

I have everything wired correctly. I have a normally open killswitch. Does it go between: A) Ring and tip B) Ring and sleeve c)Tip and sleeve I want to make sure I'm not shorting my battery whenever I hit the button! Thanks!

I just found that link as well as the entire install kit for $20. I think I'm grabbing it now. Thanks!
