    Dunlop 105Q Mini Wah - True bypass and delay trimpot?

    This has driven me up the wall beyond belief. I’ve had this pedal for over a year, but only recently noticed some distortion in my signal path. I thought it was my new amp head, bad cable, some type of interference, power supply of my board, etc, etc. It’s the only goddamn pedal I have that...

    Mesa Strategy and Prodigy discontinued. Also PH cabs.

    Just discovered yesterday that these were discontinued in the summer. I was seriously considering one, lots of positive feedback from many Barefaced users, but they were all clearly lying through their teeth about lack of maintenance issues. Don't know about making that type of initial...

    Why are Ampeg SVTs so popular?

    Believe me, I was more surprised than you are right now. I looked at that SVT and yelled out "WHERE IS YOUR MESSIAH NOW?!?!?"

    Why are Ampeg SVTs so popular?

    It was only two setups, but I used a modern SVT with a 4x10 and then a vintage one with an 8x10 and they both sounded like mud to me. If I could try a properly calibrated vintage one in a good room, I'd be willing to try again. Next to that 8x10 was a Behringer head with an 8x10 MESA and it...

    Tube or no?

    This has been breaking my head recently. I'm in search of the "ultimate" amp and I pretty much dismissed Class A / AB with all the fancy Class D amps they have now. I was looking at Form Factor Bi, TecAmp Puma / Black Jag, and Eich most recently (claiming some of the best transient responses)...

    MoMark MarkBass Club

    Thanks for your reply. What about the EQ with the extra sweepable low and high? Is it useful if you already have an external preamp and parametric eq?

    Can anyone provide feedback on the T1M (tube input module)? How does it compare to the standard one?

    Tiny Head, Same Big Speaker Cabs: What's the Point?

    Fantastic heads.....when they work. Not the greatest support. 3 month nightmare with Gallien-Krueger, its Canadian distributor (Yorkville), and Steve's Music

    3 month nightmare with Gallien-Krueger, its Canadian distributor (Yorkville), and Steve's Music

    They should have been more understanding, but in all fairness, they've had a decent amount of theft (at least I can speak for the old downtown Montreal location). In the mid 2000s, someone apparently walked out with an Apple G4 right out the front door. A huge desktop tower like that....

    3 month nightmare with Gallien-Krueger, its Canadian distributor (Yorkville), and Steve's Music

    Believe me, and like I've previous stated, I tried very hard. Soon as I determined that it was defective, I asked the store to provide me with a new one. Given that they had no inventory, they would have had to order another one from the distributor at their cost, which of course they were...

    If that chronology is correct, then I thank you for taking the initiative for reaching out to the distributor. I just wish there would have been better coordination and support from the get-go.

    3 month nightmare with Gallien-Krueger, its Canadian distributor (Yorkville), and Steve's Music

    I was ultimately refunded by the store (only after the store had to wrestle with the distributor). However, it was pretty bad customer service all around. The ball was dropped too many times and a fair amount of lack of acountability. No retail purchase or any service issue should ever have...

    3 month nightmare with Gallien-Krueger, its Canadian distributor (Yorkville), and Steve's Music

    It's a lack of critical thinking skills, what can we say? Believe me, I could have came out guns blazing and have been a lot harsher, but I tried to be as civil and objective as possible.
