I have a carvin amp which is a great blues/classic rock amp, 3 knob Eq, very warm and extra nice crunch. I really want a good full metal tone and I thought a good distortion pedal will help me get a good metal tone. I bought the MXR super badass distortion thinking it will do the job because I...

After grabbing an Entwistle pickup recently and really liking it, I'm interested in checking out other budget/no-name pickups. In doing research, it seems almost everywhere I go people are split down the middle of the "They're just as good" vs "You are worthless scum for buying anything other...

Long story short, my Holy Grail reverb shit out and I need a replacement. I previously tried a TCE HOF and it turned out that my amp doesn't get along with 'true bypass' pedals. The Holy Grail sounded great, I like that it was stupid simple but the fact it failed tells me now's not a bad time...

Since I've been infected with the 7-string virus, it seems I need a 5-string bass to record with now. While I could have my 4-string set up to downtune, I'd rather just get a 5-string. But, I don't really "play bass" so much as I just write lines with it and record them for my songs. While I'd...

Hello guys!!, I need some help on what stomp boxes i should get for my home practice..I like to play stuff like lamb of god, slipknot, stuff like that. Right now I have a couple practice amps, the line6 15 watt and a Fender bassbreaker 7watt. I know the line 6 would be a ok choice to play some...

Recently I've been writing some (pretty rudimentary and sloppy) death metal, and I've been having so much fun with it that I want to invest some money in getting my stuff to sound better and turning them into complete songs. I've set aside about 600 bucks to pick up an interface, a mic for...

friend at work was telling me about this amp he was interested in. https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-TRIREC-INFINIUM-BUGERA/dp/B007KZQMZA I'm really surprised by all the features it boasts for only being $700. is it a cheap-o chinese clone or something? what are other comparable tube amps for...

Hi :) I'm looking for small budget amp. I play mostly rock, blues and country. I found three interesting amps. Which want will be better? https://gb.muzyczny.pl/156253_Fender-Mustang-I-V2-20-W-modelling-guitar-amplifier-combo.html Fender Champion 40 Guitar Combo Amp with Effects at...

I'm looking for something a bit more versatile than my 6505+...better cleans, better mid gain, just more "options" really. A Mesa would be great, except for the fact that I'm on a budget. Can't afford a Mesa. :( I know everyone wants a Mesa on a budget - that's not what I'm looking for, I'm not...

This guitar is a project I'd been working on that was inspired by the "Budget Guitar Challenge" you guys did a while ago. I always wanted to do up a metal Tele, so I got this guy for $160, and threw a bunch of cheap chinese black hardware on it. I threw the budget out the window and used a set...

Got it narrowed down to three options...they are all pretty close spec wise, but I don't have enough know how with brands these days to know what's good and what isn't. HP Pavilion 15.6-Inch Laptop (15-p066us) | Staples® Lenovo Flex 2 15 Dual Mode Laptop Computer With 156 Touch Screen Display...

I'm shopping around with a budget of around $500 and wonder what you guys would recommend. I'm open to used, actually prefer it..24 frets, fixed bridge, and not a super thin neck (aka no Ibby's). I was thinking LTD or Schecter but wanted to get some opinions on models or maybe other brands?

Hey guys, I've got a budget for a new guitar of about £750. Current guitar is an Ibanez S470 and has served me well but constant need to change drop tunes is becoming a drag with the floating trem. In general looking for an upgrade too. General ideas: Hardtail 2x humbuckers Thin neck profile...

Hi, so I've been playing guitar for about a year with a hunk of sheeit and I am looking for something cheap but good. I'm going to be playing music from bands like: Killswitch Engage, Black Stone Cherry, Iron Maiden, Metallica and ect. So I found this guitar and amp so I want to know if it's ok...

So I'm in the market for my second bass after a while and I've narrowed down to 2 choices, the Rogue LX400 III Pro, Or the simple Dean XM Zone. I'd categorize myself as an intermediate bass player, but I have a beginners budget, so the XM appeals to me a bit more because of it being $40...

Like the title says I'm looking for advice on budget FRFR's. I've sold all the gear I can and have about $300 to work with. I just want something that I can use to monitor my kemper while recording at home and something powerful enough to be able to hang with a band practice. I'm not currently...

So, this is sort of a revamp of my budget amp post, but with some tweaks for requirements on it, a lot of people suggested the 6505, which i looked into, but i realized they were talking about the combos, which are cheap, I'm looking for a decently powerful, preferably clear grill.. tube amp...
