    EVH 5150 III 50Wrecorded at 0.4 (yes, less than 1) on Master Volume.

    Your time will come!!!:rock: I can't believe this was recorded on .5 on the MV...usually it's all preamp distortion at that volume but this sounds really great!!!

    412 cab. worth replacing 2 v30's with gt12?

    If you think the cab is already too fizzy, stay away from 75's. It will only get worse. By "old" cab, I mean a cab from the JCM800 era - 80's or early 90's JCM900 cabs. Deciding which speakers to run in your cab depends (in part) which head you are running into it. What head are you running...

    412 cab. worth replacing 2 v30's with gt12?

    Depends how old that Marshall cab is... I find the newer T75's are really fizzy to my ears but the older 75's from JCM800 era cabs are much smoother. I have one that I mix in a 2x12 and it's well broken in and sounds great. The 75's in an X with V30's sound great. If that Marshall cab is new...

    Duncan neck pups: Jazz vs Distortion ?

    I'm with Matrix. Just ordered a Dimarzio 30th Anniversary PAF for my neck pup on my '96 MIK Epi LP... I like more bite and less bass in the neck pickup... also pairing it with a Super Distortion in the bridge!!!

    6CA7 Tubes

    Yeah that's exactly it. The El-34's are just a little too "nice" but these 6CA7's have that great bite and aggressiveness with that compression and just sound great to my ears... Getting a matched pair ASAP!!!

    6CA7 Tubes

    Hey all. Wondering if anyone is using or has used a 6CA7 tube in any of their EL-34 amps? From what I have been hearing and seeing, this tube is aggressive, mean and down-right freakin' ballsy, specifically the EH 6CA7. I'm itching to get a matched pair for my JCM900 - I bet a set would sound...

    What cab to get?

    You could also try looking for an unloaded cab and put your own speakers in there. I am looking at an old Traynor unloaded 4x12 cab at the moment - they are built solid as a rock with tons of balls and tight low end. For speakers, don't ignore the WGS line. For the higher headroom that you...

    The best gig you've ever been to?

    LOL... yeah it was fucking amazing man... they were really rolling at that point. Powerslave tour was amazing too but I didn't get 10 feet from the stage like I did with SIT... it was surreal to see them in action that close - incredible pro musicians they are!!!

    The best gig you've ever been to?

    Great show but even better was the original Somewhere in Time show - Toronto, Maple Leaf Gardens, 1987. We had floors way in the back, paid the bouncer $5 each to let us go to the front. Finally managed to make it to 1st row floors in front of my idol Davey right before they started playing...
