    Glad To See The Flame Still Burning For MTS

    Even though I'm not gigging anymore, I do still remember and enjoy cranking through my MH-100B head. After owning several top production amps (including Mesa & Soldano) my tone search ended with the modules system. I found it much cheaper to buy used modded units on eBay vs getting one modded...

    A Rare Snow Event For My Area

    It began snowing here in Eastern N.C. around 9 P.M. We don't get much snow here and it's a treat for us when we get any snowfall, much less any accumulation. We are forecast to get 5-7 inches by 9 A.M. It's coming down hard and will continue all night. I just wanted to share. :) Update: 7...

    My SacredGroove Made Custom Faceplate

    SacredGroove was very easy to deal with. He listens to his clientele and can create probably anything you can think of. (and then has a few ideas of his own to suggest) If you want a custom look for your modules, look no further than SacredGroove. He aims to please. He also gave me some helpful...

    Blackberry Smoke (quite good!) *Please inhale deeply*

    I just found out about this band. Love it! This is my type of stuff. The video is not live (even though it might have been shot at a live show) Old fashioned stuff, for old guys (from the South) like me. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIlt-a4Gnww

    No gig for me...

    This is the first NYE in over 5 years that I WON'T be gigging. Feels kinda weird. I've played NYE 13 of the last 15. Guess I'm getting old. :o

    Randall Amp Sales (query)

    I was just wondering: What kind of sales impact has the MTS line had on Randall Amps Inc. Has the amp been a boon for business? Did the venture pay off? Was it good for Bruce and Randall? Are they content in continuing this partnership? Did the extra visibility increase Bruce's amp sales? Is...

    Changing Tubes In The XTC (will it help?)

    Over a year ago (when I got my RM 100), I also ordered an SL+ module on the basis that most players on this forum said the XTC sucked. (compared to the other modules) I agree that the XTC is my least favorite of the 5 modules I own, but it's not awful. To improve on it's usability for me, I'd...

    Studio Monitors...Budget or Busted?

    I was looking for advice on some new studio monitors. After reading a few things, I came across a thread where a guy claimed he was looking at some Adam Audio 3-way active monitors. I found some 4-ways, but they're a little out of my price range, (by a few thousand dollars)...

    M Audio Black Box ... Am I all alone?

    I've mentioned several times that I'm using an M Audio Black Box for my recordings. For those that don't know, it's a digital USB interface that has amp modeling, 99 drum patterns (not programable) and all the effects you'd ever want (121 of them), plus a tuner, XLR input for a mic, digital out...

    PayPal holding my money...WTF?

    Paypal has begun holding payments for some sellers depending on their individual situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here's the skinny from the website: Payment hold - a longer definition A payment hold is an amount of money that belongs to...

    (Opinions): Your Top 5 {best lead solos of all time}

    Addison Road cover I did with a friend

    My friend "Charkey" convinced me to record an Addison Road cover. I played all the instruments (no drums) and nothing is computer generated. She did the vocal. It was a challenge to keep time with no drums. Hope you like it....but just in case someone out there percieves a hidden...

    So you wanna talk about guitar pickups, huh?

    Seems we nearly highjacked another member's thread talking about pickups,....I appoligize Nigel T. (hope you get your 1086 fixed or modded :) ) I had a few more things to say... I'm not discounting active pickups. In fact my Jackson has some of the best active I've ever heard. (they have...

    My first amp...(long/boring)

    In 1980, I bought my first guitar amp... cost $499 (Peavey Duece, 2x12 combo). I made this choice over a Fender Twin and Marshall head & cab due to funds (I was 15 years old). The Fender was $200+ more and the Marshall half-stack was :shock: $1000+ !! The Peavey was loud and strong. The Fender...

    My past band's sound...

    I quit the last cover band I was in (Due East) because I was treated like I didn't do my job good enough. Oh sure, I was more than good enough when I joined, in fact I was the best musician they ever had. I helped turn the band from a mediocre Blues/Country/Rock band into the most popular...

    Realization - (I'm getting old)

    I'm a 47 year old, old school rock guitar player. I'm very picky about tone (always have been) and I have a good ear. (perfect pitch) I've kept my guitar tone mildly distorted and always kept the foundation of the "guitar" tone as paramount. In today's musical scene, extravagance and excess are...

    "CE" on the back of some guitars, WTF?

    I've seen this mark on imported guitars (usually from Korea or China) From what I gather, it's a certification that the product meets electrical standards set (originally) by the European Community, (hence "CE" Community Europe) That's all I got. Anybody wanna clarify this? Elaborate, perhaps...

    Dumb Questions...(not exactly for Pete)

    Excuse me for being so hypothetical, but it's how I learn. I love my Randall RM 100B2. It's the best sounding (most authentic & versatile) amp I've ever owned. The quality... I would put in league with Mesa or Soldano. (sound wise) However, these Gigmods and Voodoo amp mods are making me think...

    Found some gear I didn't know I had, in the shed

    It's been over 10 years since I quit hanging around my old friend and guitar jammin' buddy. Once he proved he couldn't be trusted (Crack had him hooked bad) I just made myself unavailable. He owed me money and he gave me a bunch of his stuff to try to compensate, but he never did pay me back in...
