    Mesa Boogie Triaxis?

    Punkin, Oooh, baby. I slam it right into the gazinta hole! My power amp doesn't have an effects loop. Just straight out of the TriAxis main outs into the power amp inputs. Superhuman, It's a dream preamp. Also, a great power amp and speaker cab complete the tonic arsenal.

    Mesa Boogie Triaxis?

    Hey Punkin, The Triaxis is just a preamp. Not an amp modeler. It uses different circuit boards with the actual pramp circuitry from different Mesa amps. I use mine through a Lee Jackson power amp and a Mesa 4x12. It sounds amazing. It will give you the warm clean of a Mk I and the...

    Decals

    I love it! A buddy of mine in college modified his "Mesa/Boogie" to read "Mega/Booger." It looked perfect and most people couldn't tell the difference unless you pointed it out. Good, clean, subtle goofiness. :cool:

    Where is your studio located?

    I'm jealous of all of you with basements, storage sheds, granny flats, outhouses, etc. Just moved from a house into a 1 bedroom apartment in Chicago. The studio used to be in a 900 sqare foot basement. Now it is in the corner of my living room. Bummer I can't play real drums or crank my 4x12...

    I couldn't bring myself to buy a POD

    I really wanted to buy a POD. That way I could play with it and try to get a decent tone and find out what is so cool about it. I could also use it along with my PSA-1 to give it some effects and to play with additional speaker modeling. Kind of like the good tones B.Sabbath got with his GT2...

    Jackson vs. ESP

    Best Guitar I've Ever Owned ESP Custom based on the George Lynch Kamikaze I. Bummed I sold it, but I got 2x what I paid for it! Yeah, maybe I am a little biased by the naughtiness of it. :cool: Be that as it may, the plan is to replace it with an actual Kamikaze I. That aside, it seems...

    Injuries/hell getting older

    I'm surprised Richard didn't mention this. Intense guitar playing is like any other intense physical endeavor, such as cross country, weightlifting, football, etc. In all of these endeavors you need to warm up before playing. No matter how experienced the athlete, all warm up before a...

    Stereo guitar??

    Yupper. Record different takes for each stereo side. If you want it really full, record multiple takes for each side.

    any plans for a 1x12" box???

    How about this: Get some 3/4" plywood. B/C should be good enough. You should only need a 4x4' sheet, but you might only be able to get an 8x4' sheet. A. Cut two 16"x16" square sheets. B. Cut two 12"x16" sheets. C. Cut two 12"x17.5" sheets. The A sheets are your front and back. The B sheets...

    New Bass - Ibanez or Yamaha?

    I had to laugh. The responses almost directly alternate between recommending Ibanez vx. recommending Yamaha. :D

    Looking for a Wider neck

    Wide, flat necks are indeed great for shredding. I used to search them out. The Ibanez Wizard necks are pretty good. I have one on my RG550. As a step up, I think you can get the Jem style on the RG750, which I also have. And yes, the necks aren't that wide. The widest, flattest neck I...

    How to tell an old friend that they suck...

    I second/third/fourth the opinion to keep it to yourself. If he was the kind of friend you could easily say "you suck" to, you wouldn't be asking for help. In fact, don't just "keep it to yourself." Drop it. Forget about it. Leave your friend to his blissful ignorance and be happy with...

    Expensive vs. Cheap Amps

    And a great player will sound great regardless of the guitar and amp.

    Most versatile AND\OR brutal guitar amplifier

    No doubt Riantide. I've heard Marshalls are pretty much just "tweaked" Fenders. And Boogies, Soldano's, etc. are pretty much "tweaked" Marshalls.

    Expensive vs. Cheap Amps

    I often read threads where people state cheap amps and modelers are just as good as, if not better than expensive amps. I really want to believe this. I want to think I can plug in a modeler and get the same tones as an "overpriced" amp. I want to believe makers of high end equipment are just...

    Technological advancement vs Vintage, and why

    That is so true, Allen, that many posts are based on opinion as opposed to fact. Interestingly enough your own post was almost completely based on opinion.

    Sansamp GT2- "phasy" sound?

    More like: "The succubus is a demon from legend that supposedly preys on mortal men while he sleeps; a sexual vampire of sorts." But hey, whatever floats your boat.
