    Is it safe to run an amp with no power tubes?

    What do you use for songwriting, amp or amp sim?

    Nope, but there's the Master Effects Marauder, which is a pedal version of the teal stripe Bandit's preamp: https://www.mastereffectspedals.com/marauder

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    Yep those are really sick Schecters! It's the exact same color as my JP16, lambo green. It was a custom run done by Axe Palace, 1 of 5. Aside from the finish, I like that it doesn't have any inlays on the fretboard, makes it look a bit cleaner and unique.

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    They made a JP model with a low profile floyd: the Music Man JP16 and the Sterling JP160. The Music Man has a 1000 series floyd, while the Sterling has a licensed one. I have a Music Man 7-string version and it's a really phenomenal guitar. Definitely the easiest to play in my collection.

    Can someone "rate" Schecter Guitar models? (8 strings)

    I got a Hellraiser C-8 FR a couple years ago for about $900. it's a nice guitar, feels really solid to play, and I love the neck profile. It came with EMG 808s, which I absolutely hated, so I swapped them for a Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi set, which I very much like. I installed push-pull pots...

    need an amp and cab or speaker recommendation that can pull off specific stuff

    That's correct, but they both have an internal switch to use either 6L6 or EL34 tubes without needing to re-bias the amp. The amp circuits are exactly the same. The only difference is the Triple XXX shipped with 6L6s while the 3120 shipped with EL34s. It's the same story for the JSX and Triple...

    need an amp and cab or speaker recommendation that can pull off specific stuff

    First thing I would like to point out: The Triple XXX and 3120 are the same amp, just have a different look and name. The JSX and Triple XXX II are pretty much the same amp, but there were some minuscule changes done to the Ultra/Lead channel. I would go for the JSX/Triple XXX II instead of the...

    NGS/Review: Ibanez Prestige RG5170G (Flat Silver)

    I had the same issue with one of my Agile guitars. If you look at how close the low E string is to the edge of the fretboard at fret 1 vs fret 24, you can see that there is more space at fret 24 than fret 1. It's the opposite on the high E string, there is more space at fret 1 than fret 24...

    Missed my OR15, now I discovered the Invective MH and the Archon50

    I have an Invective MH, and I can tell you the only things that it has over the 6505 MH are the built-in boost and gate, the tight switch, and the clean channel on the invective is a bit more neutral and pedal-friendly. The Invective doesn't have the Crunch mode that the 6505 MH does. Other than...

    Steinberger graphite necks sound bad -- change my mind

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    Honestly, yes. I don't think there are any guitars with your exact requirements. You're going to have to make at least one sacrifice for any production model guitar. The combination of your thumb wrapping habit, 24 frets with no access impedance, heel past the 17th fret, perfect clearance for...

    Cool interview with Devin, Tosin and Petrucci

    Most people don't want to hear that the things that they prefer are inferior or invalid. In the long run, it really doesn't matter as long as you are content with your own setup. If you like amps, play through amps. If you like modelers, play through modelers. It's as simple as that.

    My journey from finding "the one" guitar to amassing a collection (still on-going)

    Modding the electronics would definitely be the cheapest and easiest way to go once you found something that plays the way you like. It will take it from that 90% much closer to 100%. Granted, it needs to have routing for all the features you might want. From what I've read, you need something...

    Rabea signs with EBMM

    I suggest some preparation h for that enflamed sphincter. You should take some time to get over yourself. That aside, yes he likely got the deal because he's a famous influencer. No, it's likely not because of his music releases or his uniqueness as a player.

    What are we paying for ?

    Just buy the JS22 and mod the hell out of it. It's your money. Have fun the way you want to.

    What is your "white whale" guitar?

    A Peavey Vandenberg Custom Amber Burst Quilt. I would totally die happy if I could find a good one.
