I recently discovered the guitar break in Smooth Criminal. Holy crap is it ever funky. David Williams was amazing. The part starts at 2:45 in the song...

The fact that they coordinated this handoff and announcement to someone internally is a sign that this may have been in the works and not a surprise or because of chaos. Also Cesar at least from the youtube videos is a guitarist and musician himself which is a huge plus and comes from the product side...

I had NOS JAN 12AX7s in there before. The Northern Electrics are in one word: smooth. I prefer them over the NOS JANs. Really rich and warm. They might be slightly less gain, I had to bump up the volume knob a hair on the amp. And just a hair. I love...

I need to crank them. If not, what do I need? I have googled this (maybe too much) and have come up with conflicting info...

However the problem is Simon wont make the crucible in 230-240v Australian mains. I have to use a transformer to be able to use it. I’m exploring on ordering it, and...

But there are some bands I feel like I just "outgrew"--in other words, my interest in them was just too linked to a younger me and now I...

It's patented. Wonder what this means for NAM, Tonex, and other profilers that are sure to come. Can be added after the fact to existing profiles (perhaps when new models are implemented). 40 Channels (e.g., bright channel, tremolo) of amps have been...

Has anyone else pondered upping these little beauties to 50 watts? I'm guessing it would take a new output...

Obviously the fret access is excellent. A little brighter and more upper mids than a typical Les Paul. You can feel the notes you play through the body, I’ve found that to be more the case with an SG than any other solid or even semi-hollow I’ve owned. Not sure it matters but it’s part of the experience...

What about if you keep tone pot dimed? Forum [Luthier's Guitar & Bass Technical Discussion]( [Read more]( [Sounds familiar]( Tech21 · May 2, 2023 at 10:30 PM · Replies 5 An interesting bit of history about Henry Thomas is that he was considerably older than most other ‘blues’ artists recording at this time (he was born in 1874). He would have been in his early 50s at the time of these recordings. His work falls to more of a ‘songster’ style bringing with it a glimpse into an older style of performance. We are lucky he was able to record all the sides he did, great stuff...

I have a Sonic VI Ge that’s great and vintage and just grabbed a Real Cool Fuzz to get my Si Stooges vibe. I just LOVE this circuit so much. What’s YOUR favorite?
