Did Eric play all the rhythms on the recording or did Alex lay some down, too? Did Alex use the same 5150-III rig for his leads? Either way it's tight as shit and it's been the only thing in my CD player since I first stuck it in there. ryan

Here are some pictures of the speakers. http://www.guitar-hardware.com/G12T-75/IMG_0548.JPG http://www.guitar-hardware.com/G12T-75/IMG_0549.JPG http://www.guitar-hardware.com/G12T-75/IMG_0550.JPG http://www.guitar-hardware.com/G12T-75/IMG_0551.JPG...

I realize this is old, but... I turned my Windsor around in the cabinet so the droopy thing was at the back and the metal grill was at the front. While doing so I realized that the chassis bolts are the exact same spacing as a 5150 head cabinet. So, I had our bass player make a duplicate of...

I removed these from a JCM 900 labeled 1960A cabinet. They have the long date code stamped on the frame which indicates they were made in England. Despite the age of the actual cabinet, these speakers look absolutely brand new. More importantly, they sound excellent and have no issues at...

Sounds pretty good. Glad to hear you didn't have any trouble with the mod. Ryan

Then you're a better man than I am. You might be able to get the original to sound like the II, I'll give you that. But the II simply can't add frequencies that aren't there no matter how you twist the knobs. I had my original 5150 for six or seven years. I did a lot of recording with it...

OK, I can understand what you're saying if you missed the "C" clip. The "B" example is certainly the worst of the three -- the boosted low end completely overwhelms the midrange. The "C" clip shows what I like about the original 5150. It's meaner and more raw than the 5150-II. Ryan

Remove C2 then put the new cap in its place. Since you can easily pull out the preamp tube board, you can put it through the holes and attach it right to the solder pads. I will advise that you be careful with your iron here. If you overheat the pads they'll lift right off of the board. For...

Keep in mind the 2nd one isn't showing the best tone with the mod. It's showing how drastically different it is with the same EQ settings. As for whether the "C" clip is too hairy - that's a matter of taste. I prefer the sound of the original 5150 - and according to the schematics these...

Hey guys, Those are my sound clips. NWright brought the fact that this was being discussed here to my attention. When I get home tonight I'll take some pictures of the mods. It's absolutely super simple and makes a huge difference. I regretted selling my original head and was about to buy...

Unfortunately, he usually is.

When you decided to go with monster strings did you have the guitar professionally setup? If your saddles still have the factory grooves for the .009-.042 set that your guitar shipped with I'm sure that's why you're breaking strings so often. The corrosion and discoloration have nothing to do...

I hate to perpetuate this, but... Dude, what the fuck are you smoking? Using drumagog to replace drum hits does just that - it replaces the drum hit. The drummer had to play it that way in the first place. So a sample of some other drum (most likely one on the same guy's kit, hit earlier...

Yeah... I've noticed a distinct lack of that one as well as Curse of Feanor on any of the setlists at the BG forum. ryan

Is it Saturday yet? These tickets have been sitting here for too fucking long just dying to hear Turn the Page. ryan
