Re: My perfect rig

I've been looking at getting something for my Stage 60 to push the amp at home but keep the volume low so I can practice with a good sound but without rattling the windows. Does Weber make one that would be suitable for a 60-watt amp?

Re: just got my Stage 60! (and have some questions)

Where can I find JJ's, and what kind? Like I said, I know jack about tubes. I've heard mixed things about the Dimebucker. I use a set of D-Activators in my Ibanez S540 and they sound good but a bit too icepick-like playing lead, but then again, it may be because the guitar itself is thin as an envel...

Re: just got my Stage 60! (and have some questions)

Is it the tubes that cause so much hum? I've read about others having the same problem. This is my first "full tube" amp, I've always used solid states and hybrids up until now, but I got the Stage 60 because I'm sick of SS's and love a good tube sound :) So I know jack about tubes. What would be so...

just got my Stage 60! (and have some questions)

I'm in LOVE. It's sounding incredible, and I've been having a blast dialing in different sounds. I love that it's so versatile with the voicing switches, and the ISF, but it's not so complex that it's exhausting trying to get a good sound. The only concern I have is that it has a decent amount of hu...

Hi from Virginia!

Just got my HT Stage 60 yesterday and haven't stopped playing long enough to make my post here until now. I'm in love! The cleans are gorgeous and sparkling, and I love it when you get that nice break-up when you push the volume on the boutique voicing. Both OD channels are nice and bright and crunc...

which ht pedal for a dirty boost with the stage 60?

Picking up a Stage 60 this weekend and I LOVE the sound, however, I was looking at purchasing an OD pedal to give solos a boost with a bit more gain. I was originally thinking of shelling out the dough for an old Tubescreamer, or possibly the Zakk Wylde MXR until I saw that Blackstar has their own p...
