I can't recommend the Fractal Audio FX-8 enough. Incredible versatility, channel switching, stellar sounding effects, very transparent with my Roadster using the 4CM. I've read other guys having the same success with the Mark V. Thought about the G-System but lack of support and quality of...

Nice job!

Thanks. I used Minwax Sedona Red stain. Applied stain, sanding sealer then shaded with a mix of stain and polyurethane.

They are described as "High Density Silicone Vacuum Tube Vibration Dampers: Aerospace silicone - Rated at 400 degrees F". I bought them on ebay and have been trying to find the company I specifically got them from but can't find them. There's a few others on ebay that appear to be similar...

Thanks RectoStudioGuy. I liked the amp before but am enjoying it even more since converting it from a combo to head with the Vintage 30's in the 2X12 cab.

jjboogie, thanks for the advice and concern. I have noticed that it does make a difference where I stand in relation to the speakers when I'm playing at home and have played with different mic positions based upon that info. I play on a worship team and we mic our amps back stage to keep the...

jjboogie. Based on your response, I'm beginning to wonder if there might actually be something wrong with my amp! I would be happy if it would be shrill, biting treble at these settings. That would mean the EQ actually worked the way I think it should. I have fought the treble on this amp...

Thanks plan-x. The wood for both is 3/4" Baltic Birch. The rings are tube dampers, quite a bit of rattle from them. Seems to have done the trick until I decide what tubes I want to go with next. Leaning toward Winged C's but the amp's still under warranty. Gone through 3 sets of Mesa tubes...

+1 on the Eventide Timefactor. Every time I consider selling mine and getting something a bit simpler, and finance another pedal or two :? , I play around with it and think "that's why I still have this". If I need a new form of delay or delay/modulation, I'm able to get it from the...

I use it with my Lonestar Classic and I think it's on the short list of the best mid-gain overdrives out there. I've been through lots of pedals and the BB and Barber LTD have stood the test of time for me. Both have been on my board for over a year now. That's an eternity for me :P . It is...

My latest setup:

Here's an updated photo of my board. Been an interesting journey getting it to this point:

I've had my LSC for almost two years now and am still tweaking. I tried the Reeder mod, the pot swap, and while I liked the change, I ended up feeling like what all it did was gave me channel 1 with an overdrive. I run a couple of overdrives on my pedal board so it seemed kind of redundant...

Just thought I'd post my project. The Black Shadows in my combo died so I had Mesa send me some Vintage 30s so I made the closed back cabinet and matching head shell. Still need to decide how to protect the tubes, thinking about some type of metal grate as opposed to wood but not completely sure.

I had the same reaction. I would describe the Lonestar's clean as a Twin that grew up.

I would have to say there is a big difference in tone. I am basing my comment on a comparison between the Lonestar and Recto-verb, which I understand to be similar in tone to the Express. I also played a Stiletto Ace when considering the Lonestar. While I really liked the gain of the...

ISP Decimator. I run mine in the effects loop as well. The noise I wish to eliminate comes from my amp's preamp section. It still works on any noise that may come from the front of the amp as well.

DITTO! Only problem is they are like the Wally World of musical instruments: Too much buying power and enough of a buyer base, not just in their stores but through their online entity. I buy most of my gear online, including guitars, but locally I choose to pay more for good customer service...

I had the BB+ and own the BB preamp. The BB+ for me was just okay. I could get a really nice crunch/overdrive on the B side but I couldn't ever really get the A side to sound the way I wanted, always seemed too thin and artificial. Together there was just way too much noise no matter how I...
