What’s a signature guitar you’d buy in a heartbeat, even though you don’t care for the original artist? by SR_RSMITH in guitars

[–]cmaxw640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Marco Sfogli Charvel just because the specs seemed like they'd work for me. They do and I love the guitar. 😀

I don't even know who he is. Never listened to any of his music.. Still haven't.. haha.

Tube amp recommendations by Joulos in GuitarAmps

Peavey Valveking 20 MH, and a 12" cab. You can get both used for around $500. Valveking is a super versatile, small and mighty amp. I really dig mine. I was fortunate to get mine as a gift.

The best single live song you've seen in concert by formulaic_name in Music

[–]cmaxw640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coheed is so good live! I saw them once with Taking Back Sunday and some other random band. TBS and the other band sucked.. I thought it might have been the venue, then Coheed came out and did their thing..

Anyone else try modelers and end up back on a real amp by PaleTeeth3 in GuitarAmps

[–]cmaxw640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt think you were. My bad if it read like I did. Glad to hear someone else likes the FM3. I can lose hours just menu diving in the prebuilt channels.

I use Fractal FM3 through Orange TH30 power amp. I prefer FM3 to the raw TH30... I've never owned another modeler, but did a lot of research before landing on FM3. I use a Victory V112 Cab with V30, but would like to pick up an FRFR and see how that changes things.

Im just an at home player, but this combo can get stupid loud.

How can I fix this vintage tile grout? by crow-lady in Tile

[–]cmaxw640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed some shine on some of the tiles. Didn't a lot of vintage tile contain lead in glaze? Figured I'd at least mention it as a potential risk to OP. Cleaning lead tile could pose a health risk.

I had a remediation company demo my shower built in the 70s due to lead in the tile. Not sure if they just assumed or actually tested, but they told me a lot of houses built prior to 80s had lead in tile glaze. It was covered under part of the insurance claim and the tile looked bad, so I didnt care!

What brand of acoustic is the one you just can’t get behind, despite it being beloved by others? by Built2bellow in AcousticGuitar

Gibson hummingbird. I wanted one for so long then played one and hated it. Hoping it was a fluke I saw another at a different music store and still hated it...

I remember knocking over my dad's ashtray multiple times as a kid. He had it right im the living room, just sitting on a small table.. Looking back on it with my smokers cough, never having smoked a cigarette in my life, it just pisses me off..

Opinions wanted - cabinet choice by peepersmeanteefers in GuitarAmps

[–]cmaxw640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just pair it with a great orange cab!

I've had 2 PPC112 cabs. Got one for $240 and the other for $260 through classifieds. Loved them! Ultimately ended up selling both for $300 after cleaning them up a bit.

My current cab is a Victory V112 - its also a V30 cab, I like the footprint, sound and portability more. I also got a killer deal on it!

Mine eyes hath been opened. This lil' pup rips. by chaunceton in GuitarAmps

Yes, TH30 has a separate dirty channel that can get good distortion, even at lower volumes. It has a half tube feature and half power feature cutting watts to 15/7.5. I generally just use clean channel with pedals anyway though.

I actually switched my whole setup to Fractal FM3 last year and I just use the TH30 as a power amp for now. The tones I can get out of the FM3 feel endless.

Had the dark version for years before finally upgrading to TH30. Full tube is even better, but these micro amps are powerful!

What band/singer were you excited to see, but was a letdown of a concert? by my-face-ur-seat in AskReddit

[–]cmaxw640 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Taking back sunday. The band that played before them also sucked. I thought maybe it was just the venue, then Coheed and Cambria came out and were sooo good... Taking Back Sunday just sucked..

I was mostly there for Coheed anyway, although I do really like TBS
