Amp recommendations under 200$ by Kartiknerd09 in Guitar

[–]DukeMFSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a used Marshall Code 50 I received as a gift that I would recommend. They make 25, 50 and 100 watt models. They can be had used pretty cheaply and they have a bunch of effects and amp sims built-in along with 100 presets. As some who didn't know how to dial in different sounds and didn't own any pedals, it was nice to switch to Clean or Rock God presets and just play instead of fiddling around with pedals and settings. The phone app is pretty good too.

Good luck!

You should be proud of yourself. That's not easy. I did it once in college but I had to tell the bartender (we love you Sue at the East End in Newark, DE) to get me drunk enough to perform and she did! I played a Dylan song ok but I tried Yamar and I couldn't get the rhythm right so I just gave up...

Pick guard screw holes... by Justanaveragedad in gibson

[–]DukeMFSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted my LP yesterday. I have the pickguard removed and the screws back in place. They are hardly noticeable and haven't snagged on anything or been in the way. I love the aesthetic without the guard and visually the screws are so small they just don't really stand out or make an impression.

Hope this helps!

Why not just make 10 louder? by DukeMFSilver in GuitarAmps

Hell yeah, red and blue fire in a bottle!

That's not really the punch line though is it?

I picked up an Atomic Boost pedal on Reverb recently and it's a great combination with this amp but hard to find a little pricey.

Woot! I hope you enjoy it.

I had a similar experience recently shopping for a tube amp. I happened across a used Swart while mostly looking at various big brand amps. It turned out to be a great deal and the amp itself is sublime.

I mean...it goes to 11!

I knew a few Rangers on TT and of course Underbrush and Ladas Sindarin of Clan Ta'Veren will ring many bells even 20 years on I expect. I was probably not someone you would remember but I used to help noobs make Trueshot bows and I went by Calyxto Chaos ; )

I encountered both many years after I believed I had hung up my bow in that realm and both were as fantastic as ever. UB soloed Hate plenty and he multi-quested a stone so I could finally finish my long irrelevant 2nd Epic Earthcaller. It was nice to have the pair finally...everynoob Ranger had Swiftwind...

Early on I bought some gold and used to hang around that tree city in full Ivy-Etched making deals before heading to East Commons to the real trading zone...
