I recently bought a G12M Creamback to try out with my RA-100. It works great with the RA by the way, but it was only a matter of time until it was plugged into the ED. As a little history, I started with a 1x12" C90 loaded open back cab. I really liked the clean and lead tones with that setup...

I have the chance to pick up a Stiletto straight 4x12. I already own the 2x12 version and use it with my Electra dyne and Royal atlantic heads. The 2x12 does work really well for me although the bass can get a bit boomy which I think is just a result of the cab being very compact. In most of...

So after a few months of testing, thinking and research I finally decided to get the RA-100. I have been using mostly my Electra Dyne for the past year and a half which works great for the blues band I play. I also play in a more modern rock band which is where the RA comes in. I'm using it...

I took my SG (with bare knuckle Mules) to the shop with me today to have give the RA-100 another try out with my main working guitar. I got the shop to set it up with a 2x12 Stiletto cab as that is what I have. I started on the clean channel with the tone controls all staight up. I was just...

I'm interested getting an RA-100, but if the smaller TA amps compare well in terms of tones I may go for one instead. I already have an Electra-dyne which is my main amp so I don't need another high power and heavy amp. Has anyone done a side by side test or had time with both ?

Generally I have not seen much info on these tubes so I bought one to try. To get the bad out of the way, sadly the Mullard RI does not sound like a real Mullard. If you buy one on those grounds you will be dissapointed. Other than the cheap marketing tricks, the Mullard RI is a good tube. Its...

I just noticed this while looking for a better 12AX7. http://thetubestore.com/northern-electric-12ax7.html Could just be another over rated over priced tube in a fancy box. For the money I don't want to be the first sucker :D So does anyone know anything about these tubes ?

I think I need a volume pedal. My setup is pretty simple, Guitar-->Wah-->ED. All I really want to be able to do is adjust my volume a bit from song to song to match the band and to sometimes get a volume boost for solos. I would think a volume pedal in the loop is what I need. So what is...

Ok guys, I have been meaning to put this out for a while. Whenever I get a new amp I measure its output power, mostly just out of curiosity. My amp was two weeks old when I did the test, so the tubes were very fresh. The test was done with an 8 Ohm load. I should do the test agian with a 4...

Ok, I have been pestered the MKV guys and the the Lonestar guys about this too. I have an Express 5:25 and just can't get it to do what I want. It is kind of a junior Mesa so I think it is time to step up to one of the bigger models. The Lonestar and gets some incredible tones with my Strat...

Does anyone actually own or even have any experience with the 4x10 LSC ? I can find very little information about this, with most discusion about 1x12, 2x12 and 4x12 cabs. In the constant search for that Texas blues sound like SRV, Freddie king and many others I decided to try an LSC out. THe...

Hi Guys, I have an express 5:25 1X12". Iv'e have it almost a year now and have been very happy with the Express. It has proven to be very versatile. I really like the idea of having 3 channels and many modes, but what I really need to know is if I can get the tones I want or should I look else...

After 11 months of daily use, many jams and a number of gigs, both volume and tone seemed to be lacking. Since I didn't have a spare set, I thought it would be good to have a spare set, even if there was nothing wrong with the original tubes. Since it is a little dificult to get tubes matched to...

Hi guys, I bought a 5:25 a few weeks ago and am constantly surprised by how good it is (the JCM800 has not been turned on since). I am just after the schematic to see the details of how it works, particularily the dyna watt bits. I pulled out the chassis to have a look, but am not keen to...
