I've been thinking of picking up a recorder like the Zoom. I thought it sounded great. Thanks for posting. Lance

You know, you have a point. My main amp is a Lonestar Classic 1x12. Besides sounding great, the **** thing is built like a tank, and has never failed me. In contrast, the knobs on the Marshall feel like they may fall off if I rock too hard, and the first time I was going to use it in a band...

So, I got home, set the amp up. Power light glows. Still no sound. I plugged it into a 4x12 cab, still no sound. I took out the fuses *again*. They looked fine. I put them back in, switched the stand-by, and......Glorious JCM 800 Crunch! WTF?! :x I can only assume that one of the...

Hi. A friend gave me a JCM 800 Combo (212, 50 watt, 2 channels). Not sure how old, (early 90's?). It's worked since I got it about a year ago. I haven't really used it much, just in the basement. I use a different amp in my band. The last time I used it, about 2 weeks ago, it sounded...

McCarty Standard 335 Howard Roberts Fusion They all sound so nice!!!!!!!!

I bought it used last September, and it was already in it. When I tried it out, I used a Godin LGX. Straight into the cab, the cleans were very lush, it **** near sounded like it had a light chorus effect on it. (Warm Reverb setting.) I knew I would buy it before I even tried Channel two...

Well, it works for me! :D I have a Lonestar Classic 1 x 12 w/ V30. It's mainly a matter of personal taste, so if you can get a hold of one and play it, and I mean really play it-not just in the store- that would be the best bet. Give one a test drive. I play blues/classic rock/modern rock...

Thanks scienceguy! I just got the footswitchable drive mod done, and your pictures were a big help! -Lance

I got the Reeder mod done. My (much more mechanically inclined) friend did it & foot switchable gain in about 45 minutes. I have only had about 15 minutes to play the amp since, but my first reaction is WOW! It Truly is identical to Channel one. What I didn't expect (but should have) was...

I have a V1 LSC, 1x12 with a Celestian V30. It came w/ the amp when I bought it. (I am the second owner.) As far as I know, I do not have the Reeder Mod. I really like channel two. It's hard to imagine this amp sounding better than it already does. All of these speakers are great...

Thanks plan-x! I've got 14 or 15 of them. (I try to make up for my lack of skills by acquiring gear :wink: ) I'll have to take a couple more pics and post them. That is a Flying V on the wall. Gibson Faded series w/ crescent moon inlays. That guitar has an amazing neck on it; Thin & Very...

Not the best quality photo, but... :? Let's see here, I've got a PRS McCarty, a Les Paul Standard, a Blues Hawk, a Howard Roberts Fusion III, an American Standard Strat, and a Godin LGX. Everything is pretty well stock. Found the Fusion in a pawn shop about 10 years ago for $500! I...

I posted this reply in a different footswitch thread, but I meant to post it here. Maybe this is the problem. When I bought my LSC (used), the channel switch would act really goofy. It would switch occasionally when I used it, and sometimes the channel would switch when I hit the solo switch...

When I bought my LSC (used), the channel switch would act really goofy. It would switch occasionally when I used it, and sometimes the channel would switch when I hit the solo switch. I had a good friend look at it, (**disclaimer** I'm not real technically inclined, I may not use the right...

I keep it on the Tweed setting almost all the time. I keep channel 1 on the 50w setting and channel 2 on 100. I know, seems a little backwards from conventional settings, but I love how the clean channel is just about to break up (using a PRS McCarty with the coils split 80% of the time) and...
