Bah. Humbug.

Compressors. Nothing like adding more hiss to your rig.

Gee, I didn't hate that! "Crybaby" Hammett kicking ass and taking names. Why do people hate KH's playing so much? One of the great metal shredders of all time.

I had one of those in HS. With the large, vertical 2x12. I tried the ext cab-only speaker output once. It sounded killer, but I was afraid of blowing the transformer so back to speaker 1 it went.

Wow. I bet those sound great wide open. Add a Rangemaster and, BOOM!

Did Bandmasters ever have combo version?

It’s not Fender’s fault Hamer didn’t sell guitars. It wasn’t profitable so they shut it down.

That’s a lot of guitar. GLWTS.

Or propel a canoe.

Oh…well, heck, now feel like a total heel!

Love the sweepable mids on the MT-2. Death from above!

Loves me some vintage Coop. If you’re an over-40 rocker and your music collection doesn’t (AT LEAST) include, “Greatest Hits”, you should be viewed with suspicion. Can’t say I’m much of fan of his stuff with the Rambo guy, though…

I’ve used them on Strats. After repeated attempts, they don’t stay installed for long. Combined with a properly cut/lubricated nut, they can help a trem stay in tune. To my ear, they impart a bit of a, “sponginess”, to the tone that is not pleasing. If you have a particularly bright Strat you may like the effect. Don’t get me started on the TOM saddles, LOL. Personally, for vintage Strat trems I prefer Highwood saddles. They’re designed with a small string channel and hex screws that don’t dig into the palm. Combined with Gotoh staggered, locking tuners my EJ Strat rarely loses tuning. ETA: I see now that you have an American Std trem. Let us know how you like the stock saddles. IME they’ll be an improvement.
