Dunlop 35th Anniversary EVH FX pedals:
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.asp...sitemID=185999
Now this is the kind of crap that annoys me. Ed's 35th Anniversary pedals are $80 more than the usual ones. All because they have a different franken-stripe scheme? Those things are pricey to begin with, so that's just ridiculous.
"It's what I use!"
Uh-huh...since just about when, exactly?
Ed's credibility as a pitchman ranks right up there with the guy selling cars with leaky transmissions stuffed with sawdust at a light-bulb lot on your local Martin Luther King Boulevard. Just say no, folks.

World-compatible power supply? It only has to work in the States and Cabo. And I doubt that Mike will ever see a stadium from the stage as long as he's with Hagar."An innovative, and tour necessary world-compatible switch-mode power supply and advanced design provide stadium levels of explosive tonality."
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
A suggestion Mike......"SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE"
And the EVH stuff? Sells like crazy & makes him a ton of loot.....not that I'm gonna shell out extra cabbage for a "different kind of paint job"
Pretty underwhelming...
Yeah....it IS all underwhelming....
I just posted it to post some dreck for you all to giggle at.

I thought the same thing...perfect for Mike...."underwhelming" might the MO of his life!
Stick with the Ampegs, Mike...
Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
You really can't go wrong with a couple of SVTs...
There are so many good bass amps out there now. The good ol SVT is great but you can get the sound out of preamps and solid state power amps now. I have a rack full of power amps and a rack of preamps and effects. I use those two boxes for everything. I find myself using heads less and less.
When one has the money to own any sort of bass amp on earth, why do something like that with a third-rate amp manufacturer?
No need for you guys to mention they are not that bad, and perhaps not.
But the last time I even considered owning a sleavey was in 1978, and it was only because I want to at least own an amp, and there was a beat-to-shit sleavey Classic 2 X 12 in a small mom-and-pop music store in Tacoma for 80 bucks. I put 20 bucks down on it, then moved away from the NW.
Oh well. Mikey can do what he wants.
Only Peavey I'd look at might be the 6505 cab. That sounded pretty decent.
Peavey
reaching for the stars baybeh
those old peavey guitar amps from the 70's must be fetching 78 cents on ebay right now
I do believe the 5150 and the later 6505 have changed the precipitation of Peavey among the younger crowd...... :p
Yeah but they did their job when Lynard Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet blazed through them.
Tell ya what, aside from weighing as much as a Volkswagen, they were pretty damned reliable. The 400 watt head and 9 speaker cabinet I used to play through could power just about anything, including a bass or keyboard. You could spill beer on 'em, drop them off the tailgate of the truck, generally beat the crap out of 'em until they landed on the stage, and would work wonderfully...unless that stupid little 19 cent overload fuse went bye-bye, and then you were pretty much on the fucked side. If you were smart, you'd remove the back panel and hope the damned thing would not overheat.
Which pretty much explains why I had one of those Eckerd drugs oscillating fans behind my amp rig. I'd have hacks and boneheads asking me if that was where my deep sound of sludge came from. Shit, all they had to do was look at how I overloaded the bass, set the mids at 1/4th and rolled off the highs. My chords were majestic noise, my leads vaguely Ace Frehley/Tommy Iommi, with a little Jeff Beck sarcasm. Fuck it, I found that sound sometime circa 1976 or 77, and have used it ever since.
Little did I know that Cheap Trick, The Clash and about 15 or 16 southern rock bands (Hello, Blackfoot, first in line along with Molly Hatchet) would steal my idea and make a pretty penny while doing so.
