This is a Squier Deluxe Strat plugged straight in to a Line 6 Spider IV using a Shure SM57: http://www.box.net/shared/55rbtibrbm Enjoy...sorry for any sloppy playing.

Hey fellow Fretters, I haven't been around much lately on this or other forums. I started Taekwondo back in September so that has been taking up alot of my time as well as the weight training in-between classes. I'm still playing guitar though. My wife joined Taekwondo also in October (I'm...

I'm selling my Genz Benz Black Pearl Head. I haven't been playing guitar very much lately due to other commitments and a really busy schedule, so I'm parting with this amp. It's listed on ebay right now...

I bought a Fender Bandmaster VM head about two months ago. When I first plugged in I noticed the clean channel to be loud even on low settings like 2 or 3 on the volume. The drive channel seemed awfully bright, but after talking to other VM owners, they said it's just a bright sounding amp...

Just thought I'd throw this out there to see what different people do with their amps in terms of setting their EQ. Lately with my amps, whether two channel or single channel, I've been setting the EQ for my neck pickup on my strat. Of course, then it's way too bright for my bridge pickup, so...

I bought a Weber Mini Mass attenuator for my Bandmaster VM head and it arrived today. I hooked it up and played for about an hour. Here are my impressions: It is definitely an effective attenuator and I'm not quite sure how it works considering there is no power supply, but I'll let the tech...

Just a demo of the Bandmaster VM. This is plugged straight in (no pedals) with the bridge pup of my American Strat with a Shure SM57. Sounds much warmer on the neck pickup but this is with the bridge so it's a little bright. Feel free to comment on getting a better tone (treble was on 6...

Tonight was one of those "wow" experiences (for me anyway). I was going to post some clips tonight of the Blackheart Handsome Devil, Peavey Delta Blues 210 and the Fender Bandmaster VM. I was recording with a jam track and was going to play the Blackheart for the first third of the track, the...

I got my Avatar cab yesterday to use with my Bandmaster VM Head. Here are my impressions: First, the build quality is excellent. I ordered the cab in the Fender style; black with silver grill cloth. The cab is heavy, sturdy, and very well done cosmetically with chrome corner protectors and...

I'm considering getting an Avatar or Mojo cabinet for my Bandmaster head and I'm looking for a speaker that will mellow off the highs, give me warmer, lower mids, and a nice bass response. Something that won't sound to spikey with my strats on the bridge pickup. I'm considering the Celestion...

I got my Bandmaster Vintage Modified head today and here are my first impressions: Clean Channel: This is really interesting. The front end of the Bandmaster is 2 12ax7 tubes....one of the tubes is used for preamp distortion and the other is the phase inverter. In other words, the clean...

I've been reading alot of good reviews about the Fender Deluxe VM and Bandmaster VM and caught a couple clips of the amp, so I just ordered the Bandmaster head for my 212 cab. Alot of what I've read says the same things: a great range of overdriven tones from bluesy crunch to a Marshall like...

I was looking at some youtube videos of the Bogner Alchemist tonight, and it's switchable between 40 and 20 watts. In 20 watts it's in "variac" mode. Can someone explain what that means? I've seen the term before with other amps but never really knew what it was. Thanks in advance!

My wife and I attended the Buddy Guy concert in Greensburg, PA last night. At 75 years old, he hasn't lost a step. Great tone, energetic, and he is definitely the showman, entertainer, and sometimes comedian. This is the 2nd time I've seen him the first being in 1995. Last time I saw Buddy...

I had sold my Vox AD50VT 212 amp a few months back and got the Blackheart amps, and that was one amp I really regretted selling (hindsight is 20/20). I saw one on ebay and grabbed it at a great price...less than half of the retail and the amp arrived today. This amp was ABSOLUTELY MINT. The...

I've been setting up my own guitars now for years (strats) according to Fender's recommended specs, and never had any trouble until now. The high e, b and g strings intonate perfectly (I'm using 10's by the way). On the D, A, and low E strings, they keep coming up flat no matter what I do in...

I saw Robert's hockey post on the shootout goal by Linus Omark, and I started thinking about Lemieux, Gretzky, Coffey, Jagr....I could go on and on. Just curious....who do you think was the greatest hockey player you ever saw?? I lived in Pittsburgh all my life so I'm a little biased towards...

It's a slow day at work so I've been checking out a few things: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ValveSrHD/ This also looks pretty sweet, and at $299 it's a steal. These were supposed to have been released already, but there has been some delay. I know alot of folks use the Valve Jr...

I picked up a used Delta Blues 210 some months ago and had it retubed with the tube kit from Eurotubes (JJ tubes). I love the amp, but sometimes struggle to get a good tone from the overdrive channel. With the gain set at 7 or above, it gets pretty gritty and pretty heavy on the midrange (I...

Wow, this looks like an awesome amp. Also available in a 1 x 12 combo. http://www.egnateramps.com/Rebel30212.html
