    Hermansson Amps Megathread

    Anyone know the best way to contact Henric about a potential build these days? I've reached out through the email posted earlier in this thread and Facebook, but haven't had a response in over a week. I imagine that he's super busy given how popular his amps seem to be getting, but just...

    ENGL 570 Preamp appreciation

    I got really lucky to get a new E570 2 years ago right before they were going to get discontinued. It's a European model, so I have to run an adapter for it to run on 120v, but it's been an amazing preamp for me. I mostly use the high gain channels, and to me, it sounds perfect for a modern...

    U.S Residents Who've Purchased from Thomann

    Not sure if the same happens in the US market, but when importing stuff in Canada, UPS actually turns a profit on duties by clearing it for you. The cut they take is especially egregious if the items is worth a smaller amount, and can go up to double what duties would've been with public postal...

    Favorite high gain amps

    To me, Fryette stuff (either Deliverance of Pitbull Ultra-Lead) is amazing to offer something different than my Uberschall. I don't have the Fryette amps themselves, but I'm running the Synergy preamps into an old VHT 2/90/2 and it sounds absolutely brutal, tight and clear. It's also amazing to...

    Bowes Wenge 7

    Brian makes these in 26" scale length and the tuners are very likely hipshot locking, as it's what I have on mine and they look the same. The bridge is also a hipshot. And I can vouch for the quality of Brian's work, the fretwork on mine is pretty amazing!

    Soooo... Soilwork/loomis

    Caught them in Montreal 8 days ago, and I have to agree with you, Blackguard really surprised me with their performance. It was my first time seeing Soilwork live, and they absolutely killed it! Speed has such a great presence on stage!

    NGD Bowes 7 string (Pic Heavy, 57k or higher for your safety)

    Looks great man! I should be getting mine from Brian in a couple of days, I can't wait to play it with all the comments I keep hearing on the neck profile on these. Out of curiosity, what are the specs of yours?

    BareKnuckles?

    I've been through most contemporary pickups from BKP and the bridge pup I preferred for rhythm and leads was the Alnico Nailbomb. It might not be as tight as a Cold Sweat, Painkiller or Aftermath, but it's a great compromise between leads and rhythm, especially if you're looking for a thick tone.

    Mutiny Within apreciation

    Great to hear! I sure hope this means they'll get enough recognition to be able to make it work well enough for a reunion. Either way, I can't wait to hear this album!

    Emmure live rig?

    + 1 I saw them last weekend and both guitarists had Axe-FX IIs, one with a poweramp and both with cabs but I suspect they just both went direct.

    Carvin 7 string + M7

    I'm not sure if this is still useful to you, but I finally got around to recording a clip of my Carvin with M7s. I believe the guitar is all mahogany, at least it sounds quite dark to me anyways.
