    Another gem for cheapies out there like me - Mitchell MD100SCE acoustic guitar review

    Hey everybody, I wanted to take some time today to write a review and possibly start a discussion on the Mitchell MD100-SCE acoustic guitar, which is probably the most surprising instrument I have ever played. I have owned this guitar for way over a year now, so this is not a "honeymoon" review...

    Marshall MG halfstack - not great, but not the worst amp ever

    I try to use whatever the club I'm gigging at has to avoid carting my expensive stuff around, which is a pain in the ass in new york city. I don't keep a car in the city. The club I played at the other day had a Marshall mg half stack as part of their backline. I'm not sure if the cab was mg...

    my vintage club has volume issues

    It's always been this way. It's something that has always sort of bothered me about this amp, but it doesn't really effect the sound at all. The clean channel is ridiculously louder than the dirty channel. The overdrive channel will also gradually get louder, and the clean channel will all of a...

    I need some advice soldering new potentiometers to a PCB

    Hey good people I am going on vacation in two weeks and I plan to disassemble and repair my Hartke 3500 bass amp, which currently has two broken potentiometers. They were broken when the rack cover fell off (wasn't secured properly) and hit the knobs, snapping the tube preamp and main volume...

    guitar rig 3 through guitar amp effects loop?

    I use guitar rig 3 for quiet practice at night. I use it through an m-audio jamlab into the usb port of my comp, which is an intel duo-core 1.6 ghz with 2 gigs of ram. The latency is set at 8 ms by default and I don't even notice any delay. Like I said, I have only used it for practice and not...

    Peavey XXX - holy feedback batman

    I had the displeasure of gigging with a XXX last night and had ridiculous feedback issues with my nicer ibanez (added full shielding) and a borrowed gibson les paul studio. I was using the amp mostly on channel two with the gain and volume halfway up. I did not even attempt to the use the ultra...

    olp mm1 axis copy

    Hello all! Being the frugal guitarist that I am, I have been looking to pick up a cheaper axe for practice while I am traveling (which is quite often). I've looked at a few xaviere and agile lp/fender copies but have decided that I want something different for a change. I've found a couple of...

    6l6 options less than $500

    What 6l6 based amplifiers are available, new or used (and be realistic), within this price range? The pignose g40v with mods would be cool IMO as a 6l6 based home jammer.

    Thoughts on "relicing" or reliced guitars

    I'm not super crazy about buying a "reliced" model for 1000+ new. I do however think the process is sort of cool and I would like to try it out someday on my own. To me there is something alluring about beat up old guitars. Of course the sound of any guitar takes precedence over its looks to me...

    xaviere guitars

    Hey all. I'll get right to the point. I'm in the market for a tele but I don't want to drop like 600 bucks or more on a decent fender. I was looking at xaviere guitars and http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvsicusobo.html that one in particular. How do these sound? I don't give a crap about brands...

    To switch or no to switch speakers

    Hey all, I own a crate vintage club 50 all tube amp with the 3x10 speaker config. I love the sound I'm currently getting, but I feel like an upgrade from the stock 10'' 16 ohm crate speakers might really top off my sound and give the amp more clarity. I play indie mostly, along the likes of Say...
