    Status of Bogner

    I noticed a little while ago their website is in 'coming soon' limbo and all talks of the new Uberschall have missed their original timeline and have essentially disappeared. The original posts/photos of it have been scrubbed, as well. Their site desperately needed an update (and thorough...

    Can The Orange Super Crush 100 Handle 8 Strings?

    Has anyone used it wtih an extended range guitar? I am looking into the amp but I will probably use an 8-string a lot and don't want it getting super muddy at higher gain levels with passive pickups. I don't often tune past an octave below standard 6 string tuning, if that helps. I have some...

    Dialing amps fpr 7 strings with active pickups

    I have recently pulled my real amps out of storage, nothing good, an old fender frontman 25R that I moded and a madamp a15 mk2 (kit build), I'm playing both through the frontman's original speaker/enclosure (10 inch fender cheapo known to be a POS). So not the ideal setting by a long shot and...

    Practice amps that are worth the while?

    So when I transitioned to 7s back in 2014; the biggest issue I came across is finding a decent practice amp to support the extra string haha! I personally use a Orange crush 35rt which is perfect for clean style play and keeping chops up to par but when wanting to mimic certain tones and styles...

    Hi guys Looking for some up to date views on the synergy stuff... how does it compare to the premium brands on the market? Mesa, orange, diezel... quality, sounds, reliability.

    Crystal lake guitar tone

    Hey everyone, So possibly my favorite heavy guitar tone is the tone in the album "Helix" by crystal lake, especially in songs like "lost in forever" and "Apollo". I know that they're in a low tuning (drop f I think?), but apart from that, how can I achieve that tone? To make it more specific...

    Possible bad speakers?

    I've been using a solid state 2x12 Peavey Vypyr 100 watt combo amp for years and I've never had a problem with it. I keep at bedroom volume because I have neighbors on the other side of the wall. I haven't had problems with it till recently. I've always ran some sort of a distortion on the clean...

    Amp simulator software? Any good? For me?

    I have been looking to a quieter solution to my Marshall DSL40c and I planned on getting either a Boss Katana or selling my amp, buying an EVH 5153 and using the headphone jack and use it that way. Though I really do not feel like selling my amp and then spending upwards of $1000+ on gear that...

    Amp simulation? Or Budget Amp setup?

    Im going for a good djenty modern metal tone, I currently have a peavy vypr tube 60 watt, I could either get a good overdrive pedal, or I could save for something like the line 6 pod pro hd x, or an eleven rack. What do you guys think the better option would be?
