not sure, I thought I had read recently that Peavey started reissuing them again (models 1203-4 or 1203-8, for instrument applications)...Eminence speakers, to my experience, sound better with solid state amps, while Celestions and Peaveys usually are engineered for tube heads...the good thing abou...

The Doctor

You do your shit in metric? Classy.

The Doctor

get Peavey Black Widows, if you can find them, really punchy, with a lot of presence, no sludge at all, but don't oversize the cabinets, I think the larger Mesa cabinets don't sound all that great...porous frame (sides, top, back) woods absorb too much of the lower frequencies, so if you can build ...

The Doctor

I meant more along the lines of the speakers themselves. I'm considering building a 4x12 cab with 2 Eminence Governors and 2 Eminence Legends in an "X" configuration... Though I may just skip the whole bit and decide on an already built cab. I've considered a rig with a Vader 2x12 and an E...

The Doctor

That looks pretty damned good.

The Doctor

I'm sure we all know throwing water on anything electrical isn't wise... but unless you submerge the guitar there's so little current actually running through it that while it MAY permanently damage the guitar, it's probably not going to electrocute you.

The Doctor

Bogner amps are amazing to behold indeed. You can't just pretend...

The Doctor

Since you posted this thread I have been lucky enough to get my hands on and try an Uberschall.

If you don't have it yet, get one.

If you know how to set up your sound, they're amazing.

The Doctor

A good guitar ain't going to be cheap Patty. I might be able to get the same guitar for less than $1000 if I can get a reasonable deal. A little steep for a first. Make sure you sit down with one. Dropping a couple grand on a guitar does jack shit if it isn't the sound you're looking for. After 15 ...

The Doctor

A Floyd is a pain in the ass, Jeb. If you're going to drop 1K dollars, there are better choices... for sure.

And I say that as someone who owns an ESP. I have an LTD EX400, and I'd bet anything it plays and sounds every bit as good as the M-1000.

The Doctor

I considered multi-effects processors, but there's a lot of stuff on those that I just won't get around to making use of. And I find that while I like certain effects on a certain unit, others on the same unit will be lacking for me. I'm pretty particular about my delays for as well, but I can't see...

The Doctor

I've never touched a Chinese or Mexican guitar I liked, so it's my opinion that a Chinese Gibson knock off is probably a turd. And I have heard good things about Rondo Music, if you're in the market for something cost effective, although I've never played one of their guitars to know if I personally...

The Doctor

Just looking for opinions here from those of you who strive for a specific sound in your guitar or bass playing. I'm considering buying an empty shell or building my own 4x12 cab and experimenting with speakers and different mixtures/configurations... If you were to build your own speaker cabinet, h...

The Doctor

Like a monster ripping the face off.

Very pricey though.

Or sell a bunch of dope/pimp out a bunch of bitches and buy yourself one of these...

The Doctor

I have two HM-2 pedals. Unless you have a noise suppressor and an EQ to put in a chain with it, I wouldn't recommend them. And Jeb, don't get a 7 string. Find a used Ibanez or ESP LTD model with 6 strings and NO locking trem system. Also, are you in a band? Do you need a 100W head and 4x12 cab? If ...

The Doctor

you're supposed to turn all the knobs up and play crust punk That's the reason I use a noise suppressor. :lol: The HM-2 only sounds "good" when it's all the way up all the way across... while you're playing that is. The second you stop... it's buzzing and feedback hell. Especially if you ...

As far as pedals go... MXR Carbon Copy, Malekko Analog Chorus, Tortuga Neptune, Electro Harmonix Micro POG. And a few to be used only on a semi-distorted channel: Boss HM-2, MXR 10 band EQ, Boss NS-2. The EQ and Noise Suppressor are there just to control the noisiness and unpredictability of the HM-...

The Doctor

Well, that is close... but while looking at similar products I came across something called the Voodoo Lab GCX that will do EXACTLY what I want it to do, if I pair it with a Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro.

So thanks, cuzn.

You've saved me thousands of dollars.

The Doctor

So, I need something and I don't know if such a thing actually exists. Do any of you know? I have a 3 channel amp with only 1 effects loop. I need 3 effects loops. I also hate effects processors and I can't justify the cost of a Diezel VH4. Is there such a thing as a switcher I can use to change bet...

The Doctor

The Doctor

Just learn what's necessary to be able to play what you want.

The Doctor

JJ, if you really have money to blow and want something amazing... get a Diezel Herbert.

I hate EMG's, just pick up a Bill Lawrence L500XL online for cheaper. That reminds me I need to sell my EMG set. I hated them once upon a time too, but when I discovered how much better they sound High Gain/CGCGCE tuning compared to a passive pickup, I was swayed. I've grown to hate the sound of a ...

The Doctor

It didn't come with the connector? Where did you buy it?

Make sure you get it hooked up just right. Actives sound worse than wretched if they're hooked up wrong.

That's why I bought a new guitar that already had an 81/60 set in it.

The Doctor

6 months ago I'd have said no...

But now, definitely.

I have an 81 and a 60 in my Explorer and an 81 in my Korean Fender. I wouldn't use anything else.

The Doctor

The only external MIDI devices I use are a Lexicon USB Audio Interface and an 88 key M Audio USB MIDI controller, so I don't need any of those converter boxes.

If you have a keyboard you wanted to use as a controller that didn't have a USB out on it, those MIDI sport things come in handy.

The Doctor

I think there's definitely a right and wrong way to use a wah pedal, but it's actually pretty easy to pull off.

Jerry Cantrell = The right way

Kirk Hammett = The wrong way

The Doctor

I never messed with gating or noise suppression until I started trying to record my guitar playing, but now I couldn't play without one. Thankfully, Guitar Rig has a very nice gate built in without having to add one and mess with it. As for wah pedals... The only wah (not attached to an effects proc...

The Doctor

Very nice.

The Doctor

Sounds like you have some sort of coil tap thing going on.

What are your pickups and how many?

The Doctor

PCI Audio/MIDI interface. I recommend the M Audio Delta 1010LT

Ah man...

I'm not going to try to insult you here... but a modelling amp is a bad bad bad move.

The Doctor

Very nice.

Much better looking than the Gay Pride themed PRS.
