    New Mesa Boogie Mark amp?

    The JCM800 being the same price as a Mark VII in the US is insane. In Europe the JCM800 reissue is around half that at ~1700€, which already feels like a ripoff to me. I'm sure we'll also get a special 50th anniversary edition in a couple years with Jim Marshall's spit mixed in with the solder...

    Indo Archon 50-watt

    I find the new Archon very dark. Like, wondering why anyone in their right mind would turn the bright switches off dark. Seeing you praise the inclusion of the bright switches makes me wonder if mine is defective... time to at least check biasing. It's far from unusable, but I found a somewhat...

    [NGD] Padalka Pluto 8 SC

    Yeah it's already fairly bold from him using the "#nowar" tag... or expressing disapproval in general.

    [NGD] Padalka Pluto 8 SC

    While he obviously can't make an explicit comment on the subject, he definitely doesn't seem supportive of the war.

    50w Stealth biasing

    It really depends on the design of the power amp and your taste. Following Fender's recommendation is probably your safest bet. Shoot their support an email to make sure!

    50w Stealth biasing

    Bias measurements are across a 1ohm resistor, meaning the DC voltage you measure in mV is actually equal to the current flowing through the resistor in mA. As for the value you want to set it at, like Technomancer said it depends on the plate voltage, which can be different on each amp model...

    Introducing the Knoblin: Servo-based Control for Amps/Pedals

    I'm gonna echo the general sentiment here, both the idea, name and implementation are awesome. The artwork is sick as well !

    Diezel VHX-100

    Isn't that the amp that tells you to go fuck yourself if you try to profile it ?

    New Variac Day

    I think for the "real" EVH Variac thing you should re-bias your power tubes to their new operating point, not just turn down the input tension. I'm sure you can find A LOT of info on the internet on what's the optimal bias for a pair of EL34 variac'd down, maaaany people have been trying to...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    How do you like it so far ? The features are obviously impressive, but I'm mainly scared of the el84 power section. Have you had the chance to crank it yet ?

    Any word on the MT100?

    While it is a neat design for a logo, that version of the prototype looks horrible to me. Having it on the side like on the MT15 is like a cool easter egg, but I'd hate to buy an amp that has it front and center on its faceplate.

    Any word on the MT100?

    It's hard to tell on that picture, but couldn't those bottles be KT66 as well ? They've been hyping the amp as a MT100, not MT200.

    What's better than Revv for a recording amp?

    It should be a good step under the Engl or the Revv, and the price point reflects it. No IR loading capabilities, you get the analog speaker sim and that's it. There's no USB interfacing either - I think for the Engl the USB is only used to load in IRs, it can't act as an interface. If you...

    Good speaker to pair with V30

    A creamback H75 or M65 is a proven combination with a V30, for that exact reason.

    What's better than Revv for a recording amp?

    Engl Ironball SE has pretty much the same feature set as the G20, for the same price.

    5150 Iconic - New Budget 5150 from EVH Gear

    Man no one expects you to go from full on raging gearwhore to nothing in a minute... I wouldn't blame you wanting to ween off the habit with "just one last 5150". It doesn't even have that many tubes in it, it doesn't really count :cool:

    To BOOST or not to BOOST?

    Depends on the amp I guess ? I've never felt the need to boost my EVH, but boosting an Orange Micro Dark with an OD808 is one of the best metal tones I've ever heard. I'd imagine that extends to the Dark Terror or Dual Dark, I just never had any experience with those. The Micro needs it for me...

    Indo Archon 50-watt

    So it looks like PRS is having trouble getting those out of the door. Thomann were initially supposed to receive a batch of amps the last week of July, I got an email that same week saying the expected fulfillment of my order was pushed back to August 30th... For the past few days it was at...
