not a fan of modern metal tone for the most part. I appreciate everyone's input. Basically what I'm gathering here is 1. EQ can tighten up the bass but only to a degree. 2. It's simply impossible to emulate a tight Mark IV and V metal tone with a 5:25 express.

Express line comes with a contour knob that acts as a crude EQ, but doesn't help tightening up the low end at all. would something like the MXR M109S Six Band EQ be just as effective? Mesa EQ is pricey. I mostly play tech death metal, classic metal and blues so I'm looking for a tight gain...

I live in a condo with downstairs neighbors, at least 7 people in a 2 bedroom and a baby downstairs.

I can't put my 5:25 express combo volume any higher than 2 in my bedroom when my gain is turned up or it will cause problems.

Island Beach State Park is the only beach I can bring myself to visit in the summer. I hate everywhere else, too crowded.

Mine has a 'contour' knob that basically functions as a crude eq. I'll definitely consider an eq pedal as an option though.

I've heard great things about the US 85/15 as well. The Korean wound set I feel and have been hearing from others that they are a "jack of all trades master of none" type of pickup. Don't get me wrong I do like them, have had my SE going on five years now. I've played my friend's SE with the...

yeah I'm thinking about new tubes. Once in a while, my amp power randomly cuts in half, and will output at half volume. My guitar will sound horrible until I turn it off and let the tubes cool down a little bit before switching it on again.

I'm waiting to run into a Captcha where they ask me to "please click each image containing a ghost".

my favorite. I score the sides with a criss-cross pattern for a little more grip.

My sensitive ginger eyes are tired most of the time, so dark mode works out well for me.

haha! I've been replacing girl with squirrel for ages. If anyone is familiar with the song "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato, I rewrote her lyrics in one part from: "But you... make me wanna act like a girl Paint my nails and wear high heels Yes, you" to a far superior form: "But you... make me...

The chorus of Tiny Dancer, I've always heard "Hold me closer Tony Danza.... I found a bread knife on the hiiiighwaaaaay!" So that's what the lyrics are now for me forever.

One thing I LOATHE, is when the voice activated systems are asking you for information, and any and all barely audible background noise causes her abruptly stop talking, and say "SORRY, I didn't get that. To listen to our options again you can say 'repeat' or press 1". Or this gem. I press 0...

My dad recently picked up the guitar again seriously, his hands and wrists are pretty stiff from years in the construction business. He complains to me all the time that he's simply doesn't, and won't ever have the flexibility to play the bridge riff in Drop Dead Legs, you know, the fast one. I...
