Also I saw Roomrunner live and one of their guitar players had a Twin with G12-65 Celestions, and that sounded great with lots of distortion
i was about to suggest Celestions. the 70s silverface Twin i used to have had Oxfords, which actually weren't too bad. you're not going to get a lot of mids or clarity there, though.

I must have missed this, but why am I paying tax on Ebay when I make a deal between two individuals? (Am I supposed to pay sales tax on items being purchased at a garage sale?) Are all sales on Ebay subject to sales tax now?

It’s the Wayfair case: https://www.salestaxdatalink.com/blog/h ... fect-ebay/

I, for one, am relieved that I no longer have to compile and remit my own use tax from the purchases I make where no sales tax is charged.

Why are you laughing?

Yeah it's kind of a bummer; sales tax where I live is just shy of 9%. :(

Has anyone used a DBA Reverberation Machine/Caroline Meteore/whatever loFi, dirty verb of your choice with active pickups? Does it fuck with the gainstaging too much? I’m thinking about a Reverberation Machine, but my main guitar has EMG’s and I’m worried I’ll get too much of a blown out thing all the time. It’ll be running into the front of a dirty amp so I’m more looking for a little extra breakup than blown out fuzzverb.

I did very briefly have both active pickups and an RM1N at the same time. I can't remember any problems but equally I have no particular memories of trying them together so don't read into that. I feel like I would have remembered if it was really awful though. :idk:

Sorry for not very helpful post :lol:

So there's a Sunn Concert slave for relatively cheap ($300) in my area, this might be a silly question, but I was wondering, could I run a preamp pedal into the slave for baritone/bass and call it a day or do I need an actual amp head?

I’m thinking it really can’t be that bad, I’m just not completely satisfied with my context in my current band and i want something a little gnarlier. If I can get a good enough deal at work i may just buy one just to try.

Might also be worth noting I feed mine all sorts of different synths and it's fine with those too.

not really a fan of relics in general but this looks pretty badass with the railed humbucker

It does look quite cool. Knowing it's a relic makes me think it's less cool but that's probably kind of silly - is the result or the process more important?

I'm sure i saw a thing that can do this but i don't remember where or what it was.
Not sure if I really want it, but I'm curious to know if there's a way to have a simple controller to send the same tap tempo to this devices: Red Panda Particle 2, Red Panda Tensor (MIDI through USB, remote switch through standard jack), DOD Rubberneck ( remote switch through standard jack) and Dr. Scientist The Atmosphere (MIDI through 5pin DIN jack).
Any ideas?

Haven't noticed any comments here about Danelectro reissuing the Back Talk delay.

They should reissue the Fab Tone too, and put it in a normal enclosure.
