Are there any #guitar and #tubeamp afficionadoes in the Fediverse?

My Peavey Classic 30 starts acting up after 15 years now. When I turn the main power switch off, there is a swelling noise, like a hissing or white noise, ending with a loud crack, then the amp turns off. To me this sounds like aging capacitors, any second opinions? Would give it to an amp tech anyways, as I'm not touching the power supply of a tube amp (literally).

My humble attempt to play "Waiting for 22" by Queensrÿche, from that masterpiece called "Operation Mindcrime". I've always loved that luscious arpeggio and the intertwined guitars... but you don't want to know how many takes I had to record to get it (mostly) right 😁

Memories of a new year's resolution echo and fade in to glacially slow soundscapes made from generative ambient synth and improvised guitar and flute.

The Remember Glaciers performance on a very stormy December night in Brighton is now available for download from #bandcamp here: https://rememberglaciers.bandcamp.com/track/2025-12-18-ice-core-sermersuaq-2019

I hope you enjoy the music and have a very happy new year!

Another old 35mm scanned gear pic. Here’s my 1970’s Fender MusicMaster. Bought with original case at Tempo Trend music store in Victoria from the store owner Martin for $275 in 1996. The previous owner installed a humbucker in the neck position. Actually did a decent job. #music #guitar #gearsquad

Hi! I'm James and I play guitar. My main music project has been Strange Textures, a podcast of improvised guitar recorded live each week. Lots more about that on my website.

Abstract and impressionist, it changes. It's me, recorded in the moment and not repeated, including the happy accidents*. It often has a soothing effect and is meant to be listened to, but can work in the background.

I've been using Mastodon for a couple of years, took a break and decided to start from scratch on a different instance because I think it's time for a change.

*all the mistakes

Guitare G&L Ascari GTS de 2012 (si j'interprète bien le numéro de série), fabriquée en Indonésie.



En parfaît état, mais il lui manque les deux caches en chrome de ses micros humbuckers. Lesquels sont d'ailleurs splittables grâce au potentiomètre de tonalité.



Guitare plus légère qu'elle n'en a l'air et manche très agréable.



Belles sonorités rock et blues !

Someone made a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ amplifier VST plugin by simulating every individual electrical component of the preamp circuit. That's a pretty neat approach.

Dear Fediverse, I recently acquired a second-hand #guitar that I had "love at first sight" for as soon as I saw it online. It really is lovely to play, but I know very little about it, though, except that it's from a now defunct brand called #Dreambow. I can't find any other name or serial. Do you know what model it might be, and/or year? It definitely is a single cut, but it's not a Les Paul replica as you can see in the picture. Please help me boost this until it reaches someone who knows 😅

It’s official. As of tomorrow, we will be hosting a silent auction on two beautiful guitars gifted to me by Grammy Award-winning Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, blues music prodigy. We will take all bids via email. Bidding ends Friday/Saturday. Highest bid wins.

Proceeds will go to Altadena Charities, the legendary Octavia’s Shelf, and to help me pay off any rent or bills I will have left over.

If you are interested, let me know, I will send contact info. Please boost.

If I were to #auction off two #guitars from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram for #EatonFire #Altadena Charities and rent, would any of you in the #fediverse be interested? They’re beautiful pieces. Let me know.

Bandcamp Friday has come and gone, but I still have a new album floating around out there. It's one of my better works, I think. Give it a shot if you're looking for something new to listen to. #NewMusic #musodon #ambient #guitar #shoegaze
