Same here I try to buy USA made guitars. Well I looked into European and Japan made ones but they cost as much if not more and I'd rather support my own peeps here.

my peeps are all of the world, for real talk though, i don't want this thread to devolve into china vs usa and people's opinion on quality control and balbalblabl political fights ensue

i recently bought a mesa 4x12 oversized cabinet with the angle but has the full bottom front thingy (insert the terms to say this easily)

ummm yeah another thing was a mesa mark iia, which frankly is pretty f-in capital A killer, uhhhhhh idk what else, everything

finally got my third gen threadripper compoopter up and running and am able to record

officially broke i can now continue playing and justifying my shitty existence with toys and new distractions while capitalism crushes my soul

oh and next will be a new ONI hopefully within the next few months, i'll probably do a proper NGD and or NGD with that, if any body has any fucks to lend me

thats fine I also like ESP guitars and sent off a custom order to see what the cost estimate and wait time would be for a 7 string built to my desired specs. ESP have narrow round fretboard radius unless you spec a custom shop one!

Found this, this morning for only $280 CDN. Had never even heard of this until last night, Peavey Triple X Super 40 112 combo.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

Fender Ice Blue HM Strat

Arrived today, voicing is surprisingly rocking.

 

[USMarine75]

Sale price is $199.


I paid $28.

T2 and Loadbox came in. The T2 wasn't a smokebomb and the loadbox managed to handle the T2 no issues.

Might end up getting a higher-power loadbox (200W from the same maker) just for the safety, and I'm definitely getting a HX-FX.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Nux B2...

Damn... Reverb? J Rockett always seems to do a good job and HRMs are one of my fav circuits (esp. w/ EL-34s).

 

[Seabeast2000]

Got some new jj e83cc's inbound. Excited for new tubes make br00t and chunk.

 

[Bentaycanada]

Today’s rig was sweet!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

New toobs for the Randall T2. They're Rubys, so I imagine they're stock and old as shit. Plus I need something with a bit more brightness to them given this amp is EXTREMELY dark. So I'm looking into possibly getting some Sino/Shuguang or Tung Sol 12AX7s and a 12AT7.

Put in a couple orders for more pedal parts. v1.3 of my nuclear rodent after I discovered some issues, and parts for that and my lusca suboctave fuzz which I'm super excited to build. Pics to come!

 

[USMarine75]

Update. This thing plays 9/10. The stock single coil is magic. There is no single coil I’ve ever heard that sounds better. The HB was garbage - compressed with notes that bled together in a bad way. I swapped it out to a Railhammer Anvil and now this thing crushes, yet cleans up beautifully.

 

[technomancer]

WTF is that, beyond awesome looking and in need of a saddle swap? (I hate vintage bent saddles )

And here's shipment numbers 1, 2 and 3!

 

[Spicypickles]

That nearly looks exactly like my Great Dane’s/my guitar room. Same kennel, backpack, guitar placement.

Have some saddle recommendations?

Its a ~1987 Peavey Tracer. I have some decent sources but in general they were all over the place with models. This one has the older Vandenberg headstock before they went to the simpler style. It’s also reverse headstock like the Vandenberg. I’ve literally never seen the splatter paint Tracer with the reverse headstock before.

SSH pickup config and I must have wired the Railhammer wrong because in the middle position (both on) it has that transistor radio out of phase tone lol.





This is a twin to one of my other fav Peaveys I own... a 1989 Tracer LT. These were like $1199 back in 1989 iirc.
