I just listened to Kaitlin Butt's new album "What Else Can She Do" and Justin Schipper's steel playing is amazing, especially on the title track. Great songs and production as well. Never ...

I'd reach out to forum member Larry Chung for more info. He's an expert on the repair and restoration of pre-war Gibson amps.

I heard a Moog guitar recently and have been trying to figure out how to simulate that on PS. I suppose an Ebow would get me in the ballpark but those only sustain one string at once and don't allow ...

I read or was told decades ago (don't know where) that if you lay your amp flat for transport, you should have the speaker facing up. Facing it down may cause the cone to travel too far from a severe ...

Here’s how I run mine. After playing with the order, I decided not to use the tuner-out of the volume pedal – I like the buffer that’s built into the HD Stomp so I run it in-line. I also run t ...

As others have said, dampers should be unnecessary. None of the classic Fenders and Marshalls had them. I guess I can see some of the crappier modern tubes being microphonic but the best way to deal ...

I stand corrected. It's likely that there was an evolution with the woody amps. Leo probably realized pretty quickly that it was more efficient to build amps using an eyelet board.

Nice!

I gave George L's the college try but gave up. Unreliable as hell. The sound quality is great but that means nothing with a dead connection.

Premier was a less expensive, lower-quality alternative to Fender back in the day.

Yes, one piece case with two compartments - one for the guitar and one for the bar, legs, and rods.

Now I wonder since when this technology was inventented and how it is done.
Any ideas?

VERY nice! Also nice to see unique aesthetics. It's obviously not a Fender or Marshall clone.

Very sad news. My condolences.

If you have a meter check the resistance between the two lugs which have connections on the tone pot in full on and full off positions.
I'd be reluctant to just replace that original pot without chec ...

Crazy!

I would think that you could split the signal into two amps and use a slight delay with a short but randomized delay time and a slight pitch modulation. That would get you as close as possible to sim ...
