    NAD: Randall Satan 50

    i dont own this amp anymore as I sold it to get an Engl Savage 120 mkii. Maybe someone else can chime in that owns one.

    Ibanez M80M or Solar V1.8SVART

    i guess it depends on what you value the most. Do you want a V and is the evertune/SS frets the thing you want the most? Both will do the job but the m80m already has the m8 in it, so if you want that particular sound, youll want to drop in a pair of m8s on the solar. I personally am a fan of...

    Favorite Compressor Pedal 2024

    i tried out a mxr dyna comp with my rig (first compression pedal for me) but sweet jesus does that thing suck the tone when its not engaged. I returned it and ordered a custom comp which is supposed to be true bypass and has an internal attack pot, so hopefully that will work out for me. The...

    Tonex One leaked?

    I watched the ola video on this and it is honestly sounds really good for that size. I’m not into modelers at all, but I could see this as a way to do a quick gig or a way to dip your foot into the modeller/profiler world.

    Ibanez RG to Lundgren

    I did that with my 2027xl and it was a perfect fit and Johan was super nice and translated the color codes from dimarzio to the black heavens. That should be on the first page of this thread.

    Apocalypse C-7 FR S, pick-up bridge alternatives?

    Why not just buy the 7 string version of the JB since you are familiar and happy with that.

    NAD: Engl Savage 120 Mkii

    It has been roughly a week since I got this bad boy and this has exceeded my expectations and has made me question the pedal board that I have built around my evh 5150iii 50 watt mkii. About 9-10 months ago, I watched @Guitarjon's video on the Engl Savage 120 mkii and the tone was incredible on...

    NPD - M6 meets Crusher

    It’s also worth noting that you can do the black heaven bridge in alnico instead of ceramic. That one might have a more rounded treble than the ceramic but I only have experience with the ceramic pickup. I can say that the ceramic black heaven has a nice sizzle to it that isn’t harsh and it’s...

    NPD - M6 meets Crusher

    I have a set of 7 string black heavens and they are fantastic. They are medium-high output pickups that are super super clear and have slightly less mids than the m7. Highly recommend those.

    All Maple baritone 27" scale pickups: Hot or medium for higher gain?

    I’m a fan of medium to medium hot pickups like Lundgren black heavens or the SD custom sh-5. The sh-5 is slightly hotter than the black heaven but both hit my amps just right and aren’t too hot to use an overdrive if one wants to. I’ve tried black winters in the past but those are too hot for...

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    depends on the scale length. For 25.5", i personally use a .059 but for my 27" 7 string, ill use like a .056 or a .062 for that low A. It really comes down to how hard you pick and how much fret buzz you can tolerate. A .054 is quite light and i use that for C# standard on my 25.5" 6 string.

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Just got the savage 120 mkii an hour ago and jesus that lead channel is incredible. I love the scooped nature without the contour and the channel volume knob is incredibly useful for adjusting the compression of the tone. The clean channel sounds great too. I did try crunch 1 with an st9pro+ and...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Nice! I was close to buying a used 60 but someone got it rig it before me :(. I know it’s all about the lead channel, but how well do the crunch channels handle overdrives?

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    after 6 months of saving and briefly checking out a randall satan 50, i have now placed an order for an engl savage 120 mkii, which has been my dream amp for a long time. Cant wait to get that bad boy and fire it up.

    Recommend an overdrive pedal

    i recently became a st9pro+ convert and sold off the boutique overdrives i had before and currently run that into the blue channel of the 5153. Its amazing and that mid enhance knob is where its at and the drive tone is actually clean distortion and doesnt mud things up like the normal drive...

    Inferno Fest 2024 - ICS Vortex, Tjodalv and Mustis playing one song with Dimmu LOLZ

    Man the one thing popping out in that clip is how lame the crowd is and that’s coming from Swedish crowds who take a while to get into it. the last good album they put out was in sorte and it’s going to be very hard to top puritanical euphoric misanthropia as that is my favorite black metal...

    Finally tried a QC

    A little off topic, but how does the fm3 compare to a qc? I am tempted to go that route as an fx platform for my rig (real amps + reactive load box). Is there a really big dsp advantage the QC has over the FM3?

    Charvel DK24 HSS Drop B tuning pickup suggestion

    A while back, I switched from black winters to the sh-5 custom for c# standard and drop b tuning and it’s been a great swap. The custom has a big bottom end with that ceramic sizzle in the high mids. It is pretty high output but not being too much like the black winters were. Can highly...
