Im having trouble getting a good mix for a band that is using a 7 sting guitar and 5 string bass. Both are tuned down a 1/2 step, then sometimes they are dropped on the low B string (a# actually) another whole step like you would do drop D tuning on a regular guitar. I know this is low, but...

Great info there. Thanks. The amp does not have a standby. In only has one on/off switch

I was told by the store i bought it from that all I had to do is buy matching sets of each tube and Im good to go. So i did After talking with a rep at JJ's I was suprised to find out that this amp in fact does have an adjustable bias so maybe that is the problem. I was worried that noise...

Hughes and Kettner "edition tube 20" is the name of the amp pre = Mesa 12ax7 x 2 Powere amp = JJ's EL84 x 2

bump in case anyone else may have missed it. Thanks

Yep, does it even with nothing else plugged into it. In the video clip it didnt make the noise as long as it usually does because it had been on for a while already due to me just finishing up with a rehersal. If it sat cold for a while then I turned it on, the noise is louder and lasts a bit...

Hey gang, could someone here diagnose this noise my amp is making. Im wondering if it just a tube problem. Thanks for anyone that can help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHudrKy-oSs

Hello. Simple question. What kind of effects loop does this amp have? Serial or parrallel ? I cant find anything on the net other than it does have an effects loop. Even on the Fender web site it just lists "effects loop" and nothing else. Thanks

Yeah I was thinking a tele also. I could only guess that it is a Fender amp. Maybe a Hot Rod Deluxe? That top end chime with a little grit makes me think Fender. Im mostly talking about the rythm tone throughout the song. The beginning lead, yes style, picking and fingers have alot to do...

What amp guitar combo would I need to cop this tone almost exactly? In the video he looks like he is playing a hollow body of some sort, but that doesnt mean that is what the song was recorded with. I just love the tone and wondered what I would need to get close. Thanks. here is the youtube...

Check the original thread for samples. I just wanted anyone interested in hearing sound samples that may have moved past this thread or quit looking at it, to check it out. MetalJ

Actual Sound SAMPLES Well guys and gals, what do you think of this? Im not saying that this is the greatest tone ever, but it sounds pretty damn big to me for what it is. Opinions will vary. Here is a picture of my set up(again not what I normally use just old gear I still have from over...

Yes that is good advice IF he wants to use the Metal Zone pedal as his sound. I was wrong in my earlier post about the Valvstate Marshalls, they are solid state. I was thinking AVT's for some reason. Been a while since Ive seen or heard of the Valvstate. I completely agree with above posts...

Im not saying that at all. But if you get a nice sound you like then that is up to you. Not sure if you are playing live or just jamming in your bedroom. Yes your valvestate Marshall has a tube in the preamp and a solid state power amp. If it works great with your MG, then use it. If you...

This is not opionion but fact. A Marshall Valvestate and a Boss MT-2 are like oil and water. They dont go together at all and will not get you a good sound. Dude you bought a Marshall and want to put a digital distortion in front of it? It just wont work with your tube preamp in that amp and...

Ok with much research on the net, it seems there are alot of different opinions on this. That is why I was asking here as a way to gather and ponder more data. This is what a Tech Rep at MusicianFriend.com says about it. "Team J Craft simply refers to the custom shop team in Japan that...

Anyone know what "Team J Craft" is? Also specifically what is the difference between that and a regular Ibanez? Just what we need, another marketing sceme from a guitar maker to confuse us. So is it like.... FENDER - squire GIBSON - epiphone ESP - ltd PRS - se IBANES - jcraft? Thanks to...

You're probably right about the tubes, but they still will wear faster, so even if it saves me a little it is worth it to me. Its more of a thing of lugging the amp around than the tubes wearing out. Id like to keep one at the studio(which is 70 miles away from home) for practice and my H&K's...

Wow, Id say for that price its worth checking out at least. I could always return it. Perhaps MetalJ should go play the thing and find out if it works for his style of playing/needs. At the end of the day that is all that really matters right? If it sounds good and the price is right, buy...

Ok we all know most Crate amps are solid state and usually played by kids or home players for practice. I cant think of anyone famous since the 80's playing Crates live or for recording. The two most prominant would be CC Devile and Sammy Hagar and I did see the guy from Stephan Percy's RaTT...
