    JVM410H vs Rectifier vs Fireball vs Rockerverb vs Invective vs Diavlo

    Hey guys, I thought it would be fun and interesting to compare 6 of my big high-gain amps with one of my favorite guitars for metal rhythm, the LTD NW-44. That guitar really is something special, also because of that Bareknuckle Aftermath. It sounds pretty mean! So just high-gain tones this...

    Mesa Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five

    I've had this amp for 1.5 or 2 years or so. It's a cool little amp for sure. I have a fairly large collection of amps with some big 100w heads but also a lot of small lunchbox amps. This one definitely sets itself apart from the rest with it's true recto tone. In comparison to my Dual Rectifier...

    Power Transformer Questions

    I recently built the Mojotone Bassman kit. It uses their Mojo752ex PT. Their wiring diagram shows 355v at each of the red wires that go to the rectifier socket. I think that my PT is possibly much too hot. The b+ is reading at almost 460vdc while the amp is running. But I blew 2 500v filter caps...

    Rockerverb vs JVM410H vs Dual Rectifier vs 6505...

    Hey guys! I thought it would be both fun and useful to compare the sounds of some of my 'BIG boy' amps so I chose 4 that are relatively popular. We've got the Orange Rockerverb 50 MKIII, the Marshall JVM410H, the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and the Peavey 6505. They obviously don't share the...

    Boost/overdrive comparison (through Dual Recto)

    Hey guys, I thought I'd do a shootout/comparison of a bunch of overdrive or boost pedals as I'd done one before and that was a lot of fun. The results were also interesting! This time instead of using my JCM 800 Studio I wanted to use a completely different amp so I went with my Mesa Dual...

    PRS MT15 vs Mesa Rectifier

    I've talked about the PRS MT15 amp here before, it's the signature amp from Mark Tremonti. I'm sure most of you here are familiar with this little amp because it's quite popular. It's 15 watts and it's affordable but it sounds like a 50 watt amp and it can absolutely compete with amps that cost...

    Root of burnt up resistors in Marshall 3315

    Hi all, I have on the bench a Marshall 3315 which has 2 blown resistors on the power board. They are super duper crispy! I'm trying to root cause the issue before throwing in new resistors. I don't have the karma to post a link to the schematic, but it's easily available with a google...
