    Soooo... who's going to pony up for the Mesa Mark 7?

    I get it! the market isn’t getting more friendly… to be fair, Mesa amps across the board are now too expensive for me based on their value propositions vs competition. I just cant justify ponying up that much. I can either buy something else altogether (which I did recently…and Rockerverb...

    Soooo... who's going to pony up for the Mesa Mark 7?

    I love the tones of Mark series amps, and this one is no different. A few of the demo vids sound great to me. but the price points of Mesa stuff in general have gone above my threshold.

    PRS Archon 50 Hum

    So I was able to test mine at my singer’s place last night - it was silent. No hum, fx loop was perfectly quiet, etc. looks like it’s something to do with my space at home. I have to say that this is interesting. The Archons must be particularly sensitive, as my other amps do not have these...

    PRS Archon 50 Hum

    For what it’s worth I’m experiencing something similar with my Archon 50. Mine is a late model USA version, and I’m getting basically the exact same symptoms. I’ve swapped tubes around to no avail. this is persistent and annoying. I spoke with a local tech this afternoon, and he said he’d be...

    PRS S2 Standard: 22 frets vs 24 frets, gloss vs satin finish

    i picked up an s2 standard 22 this summer and it’s quickly become my go-to. Gloss finish, but incredibly resonant. I generally prefer 22 frets. Access is not an issue.

    Archon 50 = nailed it!

    I bought one of the last of the older version Archon 50s maybe a year and a half ago. I love the amp. Jon I’m glad you checked out the single coil sounds - some of my favorite tones I’ve had from my Archon are with my strat and tele. regarding old vs new version, I’d be curious to check the...

    Custom 24 replacement pickup recommendations

    yeah he’s a small business and I would imagine that international calling and shipping won’t be cheap. but his actual pricing is very reasonable. and yes, the Timbre Wolf rips.

    Custom 24 replacement pickup recommendations

    Give Wolfe a call and chat with him. He’s a super nice guy and is very open about options and custom work. I ordered and installed a Timbre Wolf in the bridge of my LP last month and I absolutely love it. Kept the stock BB 61R in the neck, and they work very well together. I‘m very...
