hi, i just finished building a 2x12 diagonal cab as an extention for my vox ad30vt amp its loud but lacks major punch as its only a 30w, dnt get me wrong it sounds brilliant for a practice amp but i was thinking about building my own valve amp head around 100w something along the lines of a bugera 6262, marshall jcm2000 dsl100, mesa boogie dual rectifier. i was wondering if anyone could help me with this project, advice on valves what type/ how many, what difference it makes to the sound etc, circuit diagrams, websites to purchase parts from anything that mite be of help. i play a lot of trivium, parkway drive, as i lay dying, all that remains etc and the cab has 2 12" celestion g12t-75's in it and is wired up as an 8ohm cab at 150w.

thanks
sam

can any1 tell me what pick ups matt has used in his lp's thru the years and possibly for what songs as ive just purchased one and im thinking of making a replica sorta thing. i like the tone and clarity he gets out of it.

i have a mexican hss strat and im looking for a new pick up. i play a lot of trivium, parkway drive, atreyu, etc. i have been looking at the seymore duncan sh-13 dimebucker for bridge and later on a lil 59 in the neck would these be suited to what i play and are they any good ive read a lot of mixed reviews. ive heard tests and reviews on youtube but obviously the sound quality wont b as gd as real life so just looking for advice as it seems matt and corey have both played them at some point.

thnx sam
