I am the original owner of this non eq combo. I don't use the combo very often, especially since I bought the Quad and 50/50. I wanted to tame this little beast a bit by putting an Eminence Cannabis Rex and a tamer preamp tube in V2. I finally got around to the project, and took the entire amp...

My tastes have changed over the years, and I'm looking for a more Fenderish sound from my .50 caliber. I have the C-90, but I'm looking for something not as stiff. I see a lot of praise for the Eminence Cannabis Rex, but is that a "chimey" speaker?

I've got a metal grill 412 guitar cab with EV 12"'s in the bottom and MC90 Celestions in the top. I want to run a Gallien Krueger Backline 212 as a head through the cab. Is this a bad idea? My daughter has a talent show this month, and I picked up the backline at a pawn shop for just under...

I've been on a no-spending kick since I lost my position at work in 2009, and took a 46% paycut. I still browse craiglsit, for some masochistic reason. I found a rather rough 4X12 bottom halfback for $200.00 in May, and had a real fit! The guy said it was loaded with all MC-90 Black shadows...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190134655388 I wasn't ready to spend the money yet, but I placed a bid anyway, and it was at my doorstep 3 days later. I've checked it out & everything is ok but one of the tubes. The low power switch will come in handy, and it already sounds...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mesa-Boogie-FU-2_W0QQitemZ250123665442QQihZ015QQcategoryZ43374QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not mine, but I thought I'd pass this along since they don't show up very often. I don't know if it comes with the cable or not.

From the band's website: "I think you screen name is rather fetching. The sound out of your amp starts with what guitar and pick up you use. It better be a humbucker, and I prefer a higher output one. This same setting sounds great with a Les Paul and weak with a Strat. Mark IV: Use Rhym2...

I had to meet with the boy's principal after he got his second referal. His mother was injured, or she would have met with him, but she was not excited about it. After a brief discussion of how he's doing, etc, we started talking about guitars. He had a Gibson LG(?) in the office! It was from...

I've got a Digitech Valve FX effects unit/preamp that has a 4 band parametric eq. I want to use that until I can find a Furman PQ. The parametric eq has 30 values ranging from 25hz to 20Khz, and bandwidths ranging from .25 to 16. The gain ranges from -15db to +15db. I want the old 80's metal...

Does anyone know what kind of wood was used when Mesa made the metal grill half back cabs? I'm getting older, and my memory might be fading, but I could have sworn someone told me it was mahogany. After looking inside the cab, I can see pieces of light colored plywood for bracing. It looks like...

Not a metal band, but NOFX used Mark IV's.

I picked up my half-back 4x12 cab today. It's in great condition, it looks almost new. Here's what I've found out so far: 4x12 4YB serial number C17957 280 watts 8 ohms, or 2 4 ohm jacks for stereo The top two speakers are the celestion 90 watt black shadows, and the bottom two are not...

I'm looking for opinions or suggestions for the perfect power amp for the Quad. I like a lot of different styles of music, from classic Rush, jazz, classical, to punk and industrial & late 80's metal (no numetal). I've already got the first section covered with my .50 Caliber & the el84...

I've had a Quad for ove a year, and finally picked up an FU-2 pedal off of eBay. The footswitch did not come with a cable, so I tried to make my own. It didn't work. Are the wires in the cable supposed to be shielded? I opened up the FU-2, and it looks like I only need four wires, no...
