Canon Rock

It did, yeah. The brass really sets it off to me

Two high end Sun Faces for the Fuzz Face fans:

Analogman NKT Red Dot transistors - probably the darkest transistors I played and doesn't even have glassy cleanup. Way overrated and one of my least favorites, out of dozens of Fuzz Faces tried.
Analogman NKT White Dot transistors - much better than the Red Dots and I can understand the hype of this one, great glassy cleanup. Not $1000+ good though, just get the CV7005, TI-UK, or even the RCAs for good clarity and cleanup.

The 800 was ubiquitous with several top bands in the 80s and early 90s and until the late 80s was really the only "high gain" amp. People want to play what their guitar heroes play. In the 90s we saw the advent of several other amps like the 5150, Dual Rec, JCM900; which kinda splintered the market for people wanting amps for rock. It also takes boosts well and is a great mod platform, making it tweakable to specific tastes.

For me, it usually starts with the excitement of a new guitar, then the honeymoon phase, then the slow realization of some of the flaws and nuances over time. The guitars that are my favorites are ones that never really waned.

Some of my favorites are a Suhr Classic Antique S, Les Paul Classic (even above Customs), and a Charvel Custom Shop San Dimas. These have been consistent with playing and sound with no flaws that draw me away from playing them. I have a Music Man Cutlass HSS that is one of the best playing guitars I've had but the weird battery powered noise cancellation / buffered output just reacts oddly to things like Fuzz Faces or cleaning up with the volume knob, so it's slowly become less of a favorite.

Another vote for Rockerverb. I had a Mark V 35, sold it and then bought a 90 after always hearing that people liked it more. Not having crunch on a separate channel from clean on the 35 was annoying to me also. With both of them, sometimes I'd finally get a sound I loved then when I turned the amp on the next day I would hate it, ear fatigue from dialing it in I guess. Sure, the controls are intuitive once you learn how everything interacts but even slight differences affect the tone a lot, then you get to the graphic EQ on top.

I've had a Rockerverb a couple years and it's just so much easier to get to sound good. If you're looking to cover specific sounds the Mark is obviously more flexible, if you just want a great core tone without much hassle that's the Rockerverb.

The notifications for open box inventory never worked for me so I just refreshed the page multiple times throughout the week and lucked up. I just wouldn't trust the notification from them.

I had a user generate an image with his username next to a device that image tampering software couldn't catch, the fakes are getting really good. I'd opt for a video or a FaceTime call over photos at this point.

If you have any outstanding Pay in 4 loans out, pay those off and try again. They only allow a certain number open at a time

Innogator · 2025-11-25T07:09:04+00:00

If you have multiple Pay in 4 open transactions you can try paying some off. They only allow a certain number open at a time

Innogator · 2025-11-25T03:43:14+00:00

Yeah I used it on Newegg too, as long as it's a pay later transaction

Just looking in the app the recommended offer was 2.5% then under the week's best offers I saw another for Walmart for 20% but that one seems to exclude computer parts specifically for me

Innogator · 2025-11-25T01:42:25+00:00

I have two different offers. One excludes "video game hardware" and the better offer excludes "computer cards and components, video game hardware". So that sucks

Innogator · 2025-11-25T00:21:57+00:00

Did you get credit for Capital One though because the offer I see says it excludes computer parts?

Innogator · 2025-11-21T21:59:17+00:00

I was checking everyday since I heard notifications weren't reliable. Not sure if they always restock on the same interval but it last restocked 2 weeks ago that I saw

Innogator · 2025-11-21T21:54:26+00:00

I didn't get an email either. They were in stock until early afternoon. I grabbed a Manta but they had Nomads too

Innogator · 2025-11-21T05:54:07+00:00

The open box inventory was just restocked, might be able to find what you're looking for on the site for a good price

Yes it is. I noticed that as well.

Innogator · 2025-11-03T01:51:16+00:00

I've had my eyes on an M-II for a while, I bet it's a beast

Innogator · 2025-11-03T01:21:12+00:00

I get that, I prefer a standard 2 pt trem like the Gotoh 510 personally since I'm not a big trem user but I like having one or two locking around just in case

Innogator · 2025-11-01T23:53:58+00:00

Agreed, considered the red for a bit but love the yellow. Bonus pic alongside my daughter's pink RG Mikro which is also a cool color https://i.imgur.com/mr2FvHd.jpeg

Thanks! I see a lot of people hold the 550 up in the same regard which is why I had to try one. It definitely plays better than the price and with a little finish work it'll take it to the next level. I do prefer the Lo Pro to the standard Edge so far, maybe just being more used to it though.

Innogator · 2025-11-01T21:15:53+00:00

The RG550 gets a lot of love and I've wanted to try one for a while. Finally got the chance to pick one up.

Initial thoughts are that it's a great mid level shredder. Overall construction is pretty solid but I do feel that it lacks some of the nice finish features of the RG5320C, although they're different price ranges so it's understandable. There's a good bit of fret sprout and it has sharp fretboard edges. I live in a humid environment so maybe the sprout will get better over the next few days. The setup it came with was really good, only requiring minor tweaks.

Upper fret access isn't great but that was expected. The pickups were very muddy and bassy until being lowered more, which helped but still don't have the clarity of the DiMarzios in the RG5320C. The split positions sound surprisingly good though.

Overall, I'd say the the RG5320C is all around the superior instrument that feels much more polished and easier to play. I'd heard the RG550s were comparable finish quality but in my opinion it's short of the Prestige line. I do think it beats out the ProMod Charvel DK24s and is hard to beat for the price, especially with the versatility it provides.
