Anybody have any experience with this? I recently acquired an FM3 and FC6 Mk 2 and was wondering how they might do out in the sunlit wild. They look great indoors. My wife REALLY likes the colors.:facepalm

My FM3 and FC6 Mk 2 arrived Friday, was able to mess with them a little bit Fri eve and last night and am loving them. I setup the OMG9 layout and it works really well for me, I will definitely be gigging with it/them. Not even certain I need an FM9 anymore, I don't think I ever needed to run 2...

I live in the US. Late last year I sold off my Kemper Powerhead, which I have owned since late 2013, as I very rarely used it except for recording, and used the proceeds to purchase a used Stage from a Reverb seller, as it would actually get some use. After putting together some performances...

Battery in my JTV89 is dying but it seems like genuine L6 replacements are nowhere to be found - what happened? Where are they? I would like to be able to continue to use it as standalone, as well as with the vdi box. I know, I know... they are where you find them... but that isn't very...

This is directed primarily @Frank Ritchotte or @Digital Igloo. But if anyone else can provide info, I'd appreciate that as well. I have purchased a JTV-89 (it was a good deal and it looks like a good axe) specifically for use with my covers band to provide acoustic 6- and 12-string tones and...

My band, Phil 'n the Blanks, out of Monte Sereno CA, will be performing tomorrow night at Sly McFly's on Cannery Row in Monterey, CA from 9pm to 12:30 am. High energy classic rock and contemporary covers. Not to mention good grub and great beers and drinks! I'm the lead guitarist, Nick. Stop by...

My classic rock covers band Engine Room will be performing tomorrow night, July 7th 2021, at Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill CA from 6 to 9. I'm the lead guitar, gonna be rockin a LP and an Anderson drop top through a Pod Go into a Marshall Origin 50. Free admission, great wine, and great...

I do occasional amp repair work on the side, not as a business, more of a hobby, recaps, that sort of thing. My bandmate's 68 Custom DRRI (S/N B-656397, 1991 build) recently began making a recurring whooshing noise, I'm starting to wonder if it might be in the trem circuit, given the recurring...

My classic rock covers band Phil 'n the Blanks (https://philntheblanksband.com) at Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill CA tonight June 2nd from 6 to 9 PM. Free admission & free parking, but only 200 seats available, first come first served. I'm lead guitar, btw. :cool...

Spotted this during my perusal of CL this morn. To me it looks like either a Chibson or a knock-off of some sort. Guitar les paul gold top p90 - $400 (san jose downtown)

I have a Nux Cerberus that I purchased back in 2018, and I've been communicating with Nux about the noise issues that the unit generates when the LED display is turned on when the OD or distortion sections are set at higher gains, for instance when the CAB setting is engaged. To me it is quite...

My Marshall Origin 50 head arrived today from Sweetwater (thanks Josh!!). I also literally just picked up a 1998 Rivera Jake Studio Combo from a Craigslist seller who is moving to SoCal. So it is NAD X2 today! That doesn't happen to me often!! I tried 'em both out briefly while bearing in...

I have a used HX Effects running FW 2.92. From the day I received it, it had been running in what appeared to be user preset mode, I never saw any factory presets, and that was fine as I always roll my own. Until last night. At rehearsal, of course.:eek::mad: When I powered it up, it came up in...

Which of the Helix/HX FX drives is closest to a MIAB? I am using an HX FX into a clean SS amp (usually either a Tonemaster Twin or Quilter MicroPro Mach 2 12HD) and the OCD seems pretty close to me. Any other suggestions?

Dumb question, but I have 2013-ish ES-339 satin. Love the guitar, but don't care for the Grovers on there, they are a bit heavy, non-locking, and are contributing to neck dip. I want to replace them with a set of Hipshot open tuners to try to reduce the neck dip a bit. However, I am not sure...

My covers band Engine Room is playing tonight at the famous Cats restaurant and club in Los Gatos CA from 8 to 11. We have a sub drummer tonight, as our usual guy is away for a long-distance family thing so there may an interesting moment or two occurring. If anyone is interested, I'm going to...

I was watching this video and I can't quite make out what Robben's amp is, looks like a Bassman head/cab combo, anyone know?

My band is going to record some tunes for a demo next week, I am thinking I may use my BCA for it, tones are great in band context, I have the Ultimate Blues and Robben Ford tone capsules and between those and the no-capsule capabilities I can get some terrific tones. I was wondering if anyone...

I was cruising through the local CL ads (sometimes a cool opportunity will present itself) and spotted this little gem (sorry for the length but it is a long one). The line about "improvisational nonsense" caught my eye and gave me a bit of a chuckle, particularly in light of some of the players...

I guess I never noticed it before, I had always thought it was goldtop Standard with two full-size HBs, but it appears to be a cross between a Deluxe and a Standard: the neck is a mini-HB, but the bridge is a full-size HB. It can be clearly seen in this video: Seems to me that it has to be a...

My band wants to do a few ABB tunes from Live At Fillmore East, especially the slide tunes Statesboro Blues and Done Somebody Wrong. I've been trying to get something fairly close to that bluesy, thick but cutting, near-harmonica tone Duane had with the bass Marshall on my Helix, but not there...

I recently purchased a 2018 PRS S2 Standard 22 from a Reverb vendor. Played the guitar acoustically for a bit, nice and resonant, nice zing, even without setup it felt good to play, nice and light, and I like the neck and the high fret access. No neck dip, balance is good. And once I did a setup...

From Fremont CA, Jukebox Heroes, a (mostly) 80s covers band,will be appearing in concert at McGrail Winery in Livermore CA, charity show, 8 to 10 PM, $90 per person. Kind of pricey, but it's for a good cause. www.jukeboxheroes.com

I have a 1998 Gibson Blueshawk with the OHSC which I like to use with my blues band (what else?) but have a bad hip and would like to use a gig bag with it to reduce weight. I looked around on the web for gig bags for Blueshawk/Nighthawk/Little Lucille guitars, but there do not seem to be any...

2015 Quilter Tone Block 200. 200 full watts of power into an 8 ohm load in a 4 lb package. Running it through a 4x12, it WILL keep up with a Plexi 100 watt head. I wouldn't get rid of it except that I have four Quilters already, so it is a bit redundant. Great amps for pedals! Comes with locking...
