So which overdrive would be best for me? I have a Blade "strat" with a humbucker in the bridge. My amp is a Koch Twintone which has a great clean channel but I'm not keen on either of the overdrive channels (bit too fizzy). I want an overdrive unit that doesn't make chords sound like mud or...

As someone who lives in the UK, I get frustrated at the high prices we have to pay for US guitars / amps. The $ has been doing relatively badly against the £ for some time now but the price of gear has NOT come down to reflect that change. I know we have to pay import duties etc but surely when...

I have a lovely Levinson Blade RH 4 but I'm being driven to the point of distraction! The guitar has a humbucker at the bridge which can be split to provide a single coil. However, when I do this the noise (hum) is UNBELIEVABLY loud! If you move the guitar around, you can actually get the noise...

Apologies to everyone out there who knows about this subject but I am rather confused as to how to get the best use out of my delay pedal. I have just bought a TC Nova delay and have a Koch TwinTone amp (sorry it's not a Mesa!) The amp has series and parallel FX options. What would be the best...

Hi. Things are slightly different over here in the UK as we pay quite a premium for US guitars but I'd be interested for your views on which guitars hold their value the most (and which ones are the worst!). I have sold a couple of (newish) Les Pauls recently, both times actually making a...

Hi folks. Just wondering whether any of you have experience of the (Levinson) Blade guitars and if so, how do you rate them? I am particularly keen to hear about the RH4 classic. Thanks

Hi folks, I have a lovely Les Paul Supreme that has a very superficial light scratch about 3" long near the tone knobs. I have no idea how it got there. Have tried Meguiars mist and wipe with no real benefit. This scratch is not deep but it is noticeable and detracts from the stunning top on...

Apologies if this has already been covered but I wondered if anyone knew of a website that explains in really SIMPLE tems, how to go about rebiasing an amp? I have a Koch Twintone II that runs on 2EL34s and the manufatcturers warn of death, disease and destruction to anyone either not using...

I have reluctantly decided to get rid of my Express 5:50 because of the never ending reliability problems I have had. I am still not sure what to go for as a replacement. I loved the clean sound of the 6l6s (when the thing actually worked!) In reality, I will probably only use the amp at home...

Have just got my Express back again (see ealier post). Now this went away becuase of a vibration and a 12AX7 valve (tube) that hardly glowed despite being already being replaced. Well the amp returned from Mesa's tech and...... Now two of these valves don't seem to glow. They are the middle and...

I have just had to send my 4th Express 5:50 amp back in less than 4 weeks! Amp no. 1 - got it home and there was a really bad vibration coming from somewhere in the amp. Particularly bad on certain notes / chords. Took it back and got: Amp no. 2 - Plugged it in and nothing! Well, it sounded as...
