My relatively fresh band Cavus, a recording from rehealsals. Warning: Pretty damn metal. One guitar (me), bass, drums and vox. We're rehearsing for the gig I mentioned at guitarforum, luckily there will be a third band too, blackmetal, so we're not alone playing to bikers there. :D This has no...

Hi again folks! Another dilemma and a problem!... well, what do ya expect, I'm a struggling artist! :D From the beginning: I've played through a Koch Pedaltone-->Sovtek mig-30 head, and liked the sound very much!.. So, I figured that getting a Mig-50H head would give me the tone with the...

This is a dilemma for me... believe it. The "scene" here is this; There's a plethora of metalbands around here, all doing gigs for a meal and a couple of beers, just to get on the stage to be seen. Not effective, done it for a couple of years, nothing changes. It gets on your wallet and nerves...

Please, someone sell me a Tube Midget head, I'm begging you. :cool:

Hi!! I've been jonesing for a high-gain Sovtek for months, ever since I bought my mig-30.:o But Sovteks are VERY rare around here.... They shipped them all to U.S.:p Now I finally have a shot for a Sovtek mig-50H, from France, But the price is high, could get a JCM800 for the money...:(...

Hello. I decided to throw this one here since it's been ages since I posted here. I now play bass in a frequently gigging band and guitar in a band starting out, not much time for home-recordings.:( (plus a daytime job...) I also lost a good setup of drums, orchestra and choirs and whatnot, as...

Hi! I recently tightened the neck-rod of my Studio baritone, since the 0.14 gauge strings had slightly curved the neck. The neck straightened OK, and the strings/action got lower and easier to play, some marginal buzzing.. I'm going to raise the action a tad. But as the neck straightened and...

Coolest thing, ever. Damn! http://www.amtelectronics.com/upload/shop_1/item_catalog_73/shop_items_catalog_image73.jpg Rambled through the interwebs and heard clips somewhere too, pretty convincing high-gain. :D Mailed them, asked more info about the structure. It's shipped abroad with 2x12ax7...

Hi all!! Again, I'm interested of a tube pre in a pedal, this would be Brunetti overtone 2.. Has anyone any experience on the amps, or even better, the pedal??

Spetel. A russian JCM800 copy. IMHO, blows MANY amps out of the water, at least gain-wise. I play metal, that is what I need, gain. Gibson LP studio baritone straight to the amp, no pedals: (disclaimer: I was drunk.) http://serif.pp.fi/paskaa/STE-010.wav 100W all tube, point to point. I...

Tha-Taa everyone! The same geezer that provided me with some 12ax7-tubes a while ago, Came up with a 12AU7WA tube today, saying he's got a few if I'd need them. Can a 12au7 be used in place of a 12ax7?? perks? Cons? Less gain, I'm sure, but maybe less hiss?? microphonics??

Hi! I just scored a 100w all tube amplifier. 4 preamp tubes, 2 power tubes. preamp and master volume. Goes what I now presume as "JCM800"-crunch. Rare as f*ck, russian "Spetel" amplifier. 350 euros. A tad fizzy at lower volumes, byt nice when played loud. I just need a good overdrive, and the...

Everyone and their mother are using the JCM800 as a benchmark for tube-dimed-crunch sound. I realised that I've never heard one live at full tilt, that I can recall. Youtube-clips are varying, some might have boosters off view... So, what is the amount of crunch a JCM800 is capable?? Here's a...

Heven't been posting here much lately, here's the reason. :rolleyes::D http://www.myspace.com/cavusmusic Shameless promotion, but what do you do. The whole EP was recorded with 4 mics, mixed and mastered at home. recorded at rehealsalplace (drums) and at home (rest). Neighbours of the singer...

Hi!!! Well... I'm more asking about the Bare knuckle pickups in general, if anyone has experiences and whatkind??? I mailed them and got a reply that suggested BlackDog-pickups, no hotter than Nailbomb, to keep the low-end in check. I do play Metal, but I'm more interested in Tone and...

Put a friggin mousetrap to a Les Paul. http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/les-paul-axcess-standard-the-s/ Abomination.

Hellows! I've gigged a couple of times as a bassist, and watched and laughed and been worried about them guitarists.:D heads, cabs, wires, cables and effects all scattered to hell on stage, not to mention while hauling stuff from gig to another! ..not mention them guitars. Always something...

Welll, ....I'm always looking for tones.. ((GAS)) I like my tone with a Pedaltone, but its clumsy, and packed with features I don't need, looked around and found that thing. Anyone know about it??

...:D ..posting this in a hungover, just for the hell of it. http://serif.pp.fi/hatut/hirvi.mp3 If you're not nodding at 1:40, you're dead. :D

Hi you all! I've got gigs behind and gigs coming at me. I've been pondering on what to drag with me to the average, PA-assisted small-stage club gig. I'm sick and tired of hauling my rig to those gigs, it takes stage space, and is best to turn away from audience anyway.. So, I've been...
