I'm looking at the Suhr SSH+ and Aldrich as an alternative to my beloved Duncan JB. The specs seem similar, but the clips seem to suggest they've got a little more open sound going in in the lows and highs and a nice attack... So has anybody used them and recommend them?

Hey! So I was wondering if you guys have this "issue" as well. With my MXR overdrive I set it up by switching to a clean sound and then adjusting the Output knob until I get roughtly around the same volume with the pedal on or off. A friend of mine just bought an EHX East River Drive...

I already have an SM57. I'm looking for a second mic that's along the lines, but that's a wee bit less boxy-sounding to blend in or as a standalone to mic a guitar cab. Which of those two would you pick for that job? How do they compare between themselves and with the SM57? Thanks! :)

I've bought a bunch of Ruby 12AX7AC5 HG's over the past year and they sound nice and all, but they all seem to be noisier and more microphonic than the JJ's I was running before. So what are your favorite re-branded Shuguangs? Penta? Ruby? Groove Tubes? Anyone else testing these well and...

So I got this Radial ProDI a while back because at the time I couldn't afford the JDI. Sometimes I feel it's a tad warm-sounding compared to just plugging my guitar into my interface's instrument input, but the pad on the ProDI comes in handy with 18V-modded EMG Hetfields and Duncan Blackouts...

So I have this Marshall 1960 cab that I got 2 Vintage 30's in with the stock T-75's in an X pattern. I'm not particularly fond of how T-75's sound under the mic for my stuff or how sizzly and kinda hollow the cab sounds in the room. I want to keep the cab, though, because the V30's sound fine...

Ok… so I'm experimenting with tubes to warm my Krank Rev Jr. up. I settled for JJ ECC83S's in V1 and V2 and a JJ ECC803S for the PI, but I have not decided on a set of power tubes yet. The Krank is a cool amp to experiment with because it has a cathode-biased power section. The manual...

Anyone? I'm in Mexico, but I don't think it's that big of a deal since it's just something small. Thanks. :)

I know there's a couple out there. I know of the Eminence Governor and V12, the WGS Veteran and Retro 30's, the Mojotone BV-30V, and the Weber 12V. Do you know of others? Could you please share your experience with these (particularly under the mic) if you've had any? Does anyone have...

So I have this Ibanez Prestige RGA121. It's an super super tight-sounding attack-y guitar. It's got a THICK maple cap that accounts for about 1/3 of the thickness of the body and it's got a maple neck. Right now I have the EMG Het Set in it, but I'm thinking it might be just a tad too...

Just wondering what other speakers you guys like under the mic. I know V30's are a favorite around here, but do you guys like other speakers for high-gain? Which? Do you have examples? :)

So I have this Marshall cab with T-75's that sounds pretty good in the room, but I'd love to have a V30 for recording... ... So I wonder if anyone's got a cab that he has 3 of a single kind of speakers in it, and then another, say a V30 that you mic up. Would that sound ok? I assume it'd just...

Guitar is an Ibanez S (ZR trem, mahog body, bolt-on maple neck). It's go an 81 in the bridge (for now) and a 60 in the neck. I want the guitar to have a great clean tone in position 4 in combination with the 60. So... S? SA? SLV? Could you describe them if you have any experience with them...

Just got an old Ibanez S470. It's pretty solid. I dig it. It sounds pretty dark and chunky. Right now I have an 81/60 combo in there, and it sounds nice, but I want to try something new. I want something that has a similar kinda vibe as the 81/60, but with more agression in the top-end and...

I'm thinking about dropping a set on my Ibanez RGA Prestige. I'm pretty happy with the 81/60 combo in there right now, but I wouldn't mind trying some other stuff out. They're not very cheap compared to other EMG's, though, so I'd like to know a few things before buying. I've watched Lasse's...

I googled, but I could only find a file containing the Marshall with T75 and the Recto with V30's. I'd like to hear the Krank and whatever else he compared. Does anyone happen to have all the files saved that can share or can point me into where I can find the original ones? Thank you. :)

I know about Nevermore's Dead Heart, but which other records do you recommend? I just grabbed a Marshall 1960, so I'm looking for inspiration, lol. Thank you.

Do you guys find you need the pad engaged when running EMG's into the ProDI? Thanks. :grin:

*My mistake, on the thread title I actually meant 81X. I have the 81TW in another guitar, but this is the 81X vs 81 in the same guitar* So I recorded a short clip off a single riff. The riff is by the band Judgement (nwright's band) and the song is 21 Grams...

So... I was wondering if you guys can give me some opinions on how it is? I found a good deal on one. I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger. Looks like an interesting amp. Can I at the very least expect some Valvestate-y sounds out of it? I mean, I'm not expecting a Dual Rectifier, but I...
