That Reverend is Fuckin' dope.

I'll get some pics, but I just moved my kit and another 3v amps into the barn. Drywall still ain't done. Summer much more important house projects have put the barn on the backburner (had a leak in the roof/had to redo a bunch of walls because of a slow water leak.... All that kinda.... The HOA of home ownership) , but I've got it mostly wired out now, have 2 more circuits to add then I can close the walls in.

Upstairs Sunday rig.

Yo Pissy. I'm not getting that JCM 800. I see he's got it listed for a few hundred more than what he'd sell it to me for.

2xEL34 50 watt Lynx, yet to break it in. The Standard 60's honeyburst color isn't my first choice but this guitar was featured in two Greg Koch videos, so i got hear it first, with ferocity (lol). I was just vacuuming some dust off it and a silver tone knob insert got sucked out - factory was probaby short on glue that day $:-\$ . I put some elmers in and refixed it, et voíla. It has 9's on it. I used to play 11's. Man, I have some (tons) woodshedding ahead of me. ps the tuners are those Grover sealed metal butterbeans things- or rotomatics I guess.

ps. the guitar is ugly but has decent grain and the tone is tested/passes. I think of sanding the top, or parking it in the sun. but not of any concern...it only comes out at night. I have tonnes of stickers to plaster over it but nah. the ugly duckling. "Quack" I'll call it.

Oh nice. Super high gain huh?

Muffin Man · May 19, 2024, 06:13:24 PM

it even has a gate! I've never played around with a gate. Just something to comp with in the living room when I need that extra sizzle. It was a b-stock factory flash sale random fly by - it's pretty cool. I'm not sure they do the combo anymore all I see is head and cab - which would be cooler but this is smaller. Has a two-button switch and padded cover.

Upstairs rig new edition.

The HIWATT really sounds better through 12" speakers. This is that 8412 I thought from Black Book. The one owned by Sprinkler/Svelt/GBV dude bought for him by SUBPOP waaay back. It sounds good.

Pissy · November 04, 2024, 04:35:33 PM

Is the combo speaker in the chain? Or is it unplugged to accommodate the speaker cable for the cab? I'll bet it sounds great.

RAGER · November 04, 2024, 05:30:57 PM

It's just going through the 4x12.

James1214 · November 06, 2024, 03:19:35 PM

Got this a while back, for waaaaaaay less than it was worth at a garage sale, I informed them as to it's current market price. They sold it to me for what they were asking.

Pissy · November 07, 2024, 06:30:20 AM

Does it work?

James1214 · November 08, 2024, 02:02:31 AM

Slow works great, medium is intermittent, fast doesn't work at all. I really need to open it up and give it a good cleaning. Nothing that can't be repaired. I've got the schematic and some guy shots saved on my desktop when I decide to dig in.

RAGER · November 12, 2024, 08:56:35 AM

New revised upstairs rig.

It's a total player with a headstock repair but it's in pretty good shape. Plays great. Lucky for me I don't like flame tops or quilt tops or whatever. Cheap-ish.

Pissy · November 14, 2024, 07:15:08 AM

My no. 1 is a 77 SG with a headstock repair. I got it in the late 90's for $400. Repair was done long before.

James1214 · November 15, 2024, 12:03:12 AM

New explorer. It's a Firefly, they go for around $300 new, but it was at a yard sale for $75 so I had to get it. Has upgraded pickups and locking tuners. I'm gonna put chrome covers on the pickups, cuz I hate the white ones. Other than that no issues at all with it for the price.
