Got to see Social Distortion soundcheck on my lunch break

My office is across the street from the venue they’re playing at tonight. I stepped outside and found a spot under the fence where I could see. iPhone video doesn’t do it justice, but they sounded great. Amps were Fender Bassmans and some sort of Divided by 13 heads. Bad Religion is opening for them...

Re: PSA - SDOTD - EQD Special Cranker $74 (3 knob Speaker Cranker)

This is my favorite EQD pedal. In germanium mode with the gain just above 0, it works as a great light transparent overdrive

NAD: 1982 JCM 800 2204 (and belated NCD)

I drove to Akron to pick this up from an ad on Facebook Marketplace. I’ve owned a 20w Silver Jubilee, two Friedmans, and a Bogner Shiva, but this is my first proper Marshall. Before today, it’s probably been at least 10 years since I’ve had a chance to play an 800. https://i.imgur.com/0nw8IT1.jpeg I...

Re: FS: Bad Cat Hot 30 Handwired Head-$1,100

Bump with one last price drop. If it’s not gone by the end of the week, it’s going to a local shop

Re: F greenbacks

If you’re looking to get rid of fizz, maybe try trading your Heritage GBs for a pair of Creamback 65s. They have a smooth top end and upper mid emphasis. They’d probably work well with your Uber. Or you could take path of least resistance and just go back to the T75s. The clips you’ve posted have al...

Re: F greenbacks

It could be that they’re just not a good fit for your amp. I have a cab with regular Greenback reissues and a cab with Creamback 65s. My Bad Cat sounds great with the Creambacks, but I hate it through the Greenbacks. On the flip side, I have a Vox AC30 head that’s great through the Greenbacks, but s...

Re: Bad Cat Hor Cat 30R

If you do get it, I definitely recommend trying either KT77s or a Yellow Jackets rectifier, depending on what you want from the amp. If you find it too compressed, go KT77. It really opens up the highs and gives it more punch. The tradeoff is that they don’t have as much grind and sizzle as EL34s. U...

Re: Bad Cat Hor Cat 30R

If at any point you want to trade one of your Marshalls for a Hot Cat and some cash… :call: :lol: Did you happen to see what tubes were in the one you tried? I’m running TAD Red Base EL34s and a Yellow Jacket STR solid state rectifier in the tube socket. The best sounds I got out of it though were w...

Re: FS/FT: Bad Cat Hot 30 Head (2015 Handwired K-Master)

Bump with a price drop. Hoping to raise funds in case anyone here sells a 2204 soon ;)

Re: NAD: 1986 JCM800 2204

Looking at the back of the amp now, there are 3 jacks, 2 for speakers and one for DI. I so I could install the Metro effects loop in the DI jack and one of the speaker jacks and leave only one jack for speaker out. That would allow me to install the loop without drilling the amp. I think that is wh...
