I was so ready to buy one of these amps 10 years ago it seems like now lol. These days I’m running through a helix mostly and am 100% satisfied. I’m quite happy still with the mt15 in the jam room hooked up to the same oversized Mesa rectifier 4x12 Mark uses, but it’s pretty rare I fire that rig...
Looks like I found those on thegearpage emporium back in 2020. They are very hard to come by though. I just looked at sold listings on Reverb and the most recent pair of core pickups sold 3 years ago.
The core pickups do sound so good! Very balanced and clear and can go to hard rock territory surprisingly excellently. I too snagged an extra pair and put em on the parts shelf for a rainy day someday.
I can confirm that is a great way to destroy some knobs. Must be the acetone in the polish but it makes the plastic cloudy at the very least and at worst some will actually develop a crack in the knob as well.
It’s been so long that I don’t remember the exact details of what I ordered, but I replaced my pins on a t50e with ebony and an abalone dot like what I see on a bunch of the core PRS acoustics. They were larger than stock and I used the Stew Mac reamer to fit them exactly how I wanted. Turned...
Left the dragon ii neck. That sounds glorious. I also took the cover off. Then I swapped the bridge pickup for a Tremonti. Such a monster guitar. The guitar I still grab the most!
I have various guitars with the tremonti, \m/ and dragon 1, never played an HFS. The tremonti and dragon 1 are pretty similar tone wise and the \m/ has a little more honk going on when played on a clean channel. Maybe that’s just exactly the mids you’re looking for. Add some gain and it’s hard...
If you touch the bridge and the noise goes away the wiring is good. Your body is an antennae and you ground yourself when you touch the bridge. Shield the control cavities and your noise will become so much less that you won’t even notice any noise anymore.
It does look like in your picture that 2 of the blue leds are out. You’ve got 6 reds and 4 blues. I’ll have to compare it to mine and see how many leds are in there.
