    Thinking of buying an EMG set

    I have two guitars loaded with emgs, my jackson has dual 81s and my ltd has 81/85, they are great sounding. I know some people have recommended the Blackouts, and I have played guitars with them but too me they sound too woofy with a bit too much gain in them *especially the Blackout Metals*...

    kinda frustrated, please help me decide on an amp!!!!!!!!

    Biasing is to keep the voltage of the tubes with in spec as well as they are getting equal voltage to keep them working together as well as just sounds better when the tubes can idle at the proper voltage. It is recommended learning how to do this, however, I am reading up on how to do it...

    kinda frustrated, please help me decide on an amp!!!!!!!!

    Well Idk if price of tubes are an issue, especially amps like the Mesa Dual Rectifier, are really easy compared to say a Jcm800/900 amps because the Dual Rectifier is fixed bias, so even though more tubes = higher price, is easier with out having to pay a tech to bias the amp! I would say the...

    I am amazed how many seasoned guys can not string a guitar properly

    On my Jackson with a Schaller and at first I thought it was going to be a pita but I had to readjust the system and it was fine, I had it double checked when I had dual emg 81s installed and my old hs math teacher happens to be a luthier. Set it up said I was not too far off. But anytime I...

    played a jcm 900 at band rehearsal...

    I had a mk3 2100 with el34 *from the factory but with winged Cs* in it a bit harsh until a mxr108 and it woke up. Now I have a sl-x 2100 that when I bought it had unbiased el34s and I had it modded and replaced all the tubes with jj high gain preamp tubes and e34L tubes and what a Beast, a bit...

    is that one a good guitar?

    Awesome Jacksons you have there but I can tell you, I played a 97 USA Rhoads guitar and I will say the pre-fender Jacksons are superior to the Fender made Jacksons! And My 92 MIJ Rhoads Pro played better than the 97 I played! And even plays better than my lp studio and I love my lp studio...

    Is the JCM 900 MKIII 2500 a poor mans Jubilee?

    I know and it is sad because I did have a chance to get a plexi 100 watt head for $ 250 but I passed on it because I had my major already, I wish I would have bought it. When I was 18 everyone wanted jcm800s and I remember when the jcm900s first came out and every guitarist I knew back in HS...

    Is the JCM 900 MKIII 2500 a poor mans Jubilee?

    The jubilee I played through a couple of years ago sounded good, however, I still say the 900 sl-x and mk3 sound a lot better. Idk why for many years the 900 series amps was the read headed bastard child of the jcm series. mk3 is a great amp, however, I will add the sl-x is a beast. That is...

    Need a good half stack for metal

    I would suggest as you can find them sometimes pretty cheap, a Jcm900 sl-x or the mk3 master volume heads. Both will play thrash metal with ease and depending on whether or not the mk3 or sl-x. The mk3 will require a mxr 108 10 band eq to shape the tone but a damn good metal amp. sl-x does...

    JCM 900 SLX Distortion Pedal Recommendations

    I agree with Ken.. How old are the tubes? When I first picked up my sl-x 2100, it sounded pretty crappy and it was running under biased el34s and original Marshall 12xa7s.. I took my amp down to a friend of mine who did the bias resistor mod and a complete set of JJ e34ls and jj 12xa7 tubes...

    Who plays through a 900?

    Well the Mk3s can be used for heavier stuff but it requires a 10 band eq, and an o/d pedal to get it there, otherwise it will not.. I had a 2100 mk3 which I traded off for an sl-x and I have not looked back... Cheers,

    Tsl100 tone?

    Bipolar is putting it nicely. I for one have been around here and can say from the posts that Jon has posted, has nothing but a ton of great knowledge.. Plus his Sounds clips are awesome. I wish I had the deep pockets, I would just have Jon build me what I would consider the worlds greatest...
