DESTROYER. full set installed in the Epiphone (bong)Ripper, and I must say…. this thing absolutely roars. I took a moment to upgrade the tone cap to a .068 PIO, and even though it was the same value as the stock metal film cap, the sound has taken on many more dimensions than previously available. this thing positively slays, it even sounds better than my 4001 Rickenbacker, and that’s just nuts…. this $350 bass SMASHES its heralded $2000 cousin. let that be a lesson to ya. set pictured in “TV” finish.

DESTROYER models available THIS WEEK, only from BLK/TRI. #BLKTRI #DOOMEDTODISTORT #DEATHBEFOREBATTERIES #DESTROYER #RIPPER www.BLKTRI.com

lots of people are fans of the no bullshit, wide open bridge pickup, and who’s to blame them? it’s the quintessential rock vibe. balls to the wall (which is about as weird a visual as one comes across…). but in this particular post I’m going to take a moment to vibe on the multitude of sounds a guitar is capable of if you take a moment to roll things back a bit. hook up your standard “sky on fire” set up full gain, huge fuzz etc… then roll that volume back to a 2 or 3… shift the tone a bit and round things out, and maybe, god forbid, select the neck or oft overlooked middle pickup. enjoy for a moment the beckoning wolf-like snarl…. we know hell awaits, but give it time for the tension to build. swell in the volume again and hit some ambient notes…. FUCK! get lost in it my friends. BLK/TRI personal collection Fender MIM Strat with BKS neck and middle (ah shit!) and CRONE bridge (goddamn!!) this thing is the very essence of wandering soul. if you can feel it… this thing can produce it. enjoy. #BLKTRI #DEATHBEFOREBATTERIES #DOOMEDTODISTORT #CRONE #BKS #FENDERSTRATOCASTER

VULCAN SERIES: SCORCHED EARTH. made this one off set custom for my othermotherbrother @turning_the_screw recently, based on the tonal/power intentions of the EMG 81/86 set… I believe they place a steel toe squarely on the sack of their “active” cousin. very proud of how these came out… they were birth’d to shake some earth. enjoy man! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #BLKTRI #DOOMEDTODISTORT #DEATHBEFOREBATTERIES #VULCANSERIES #SCORCHEDEARTH www.BLKTRI.com

been awhile since I’ve posted the test rigs… at current: @marshallamps_uk 1987x 50w plexi head into a Marshall 1960AV cab with @tedweberspeakers / BLKTRI GHOST SERIES 16ohm speakers, and a @mesaengineering oversized 4x12 with stock speakers… (I’m not sure what. that shit is SO damn heavy I put it up and had forgotten to check and said fuck it.) a full custom @morganamps 50w based on an old Hiwatt design but with KT88’s, a dark switch, and built in real spring reverb. and lastly an early, second production year Marshall JCM800 50watt with 6L6’s… someone took the time at some point to upgrade all the board caps with silver mica… AWESOME, and also stripped the branding from it (?!$&!!?) apart from the Jim Marshall signature and thankfully put the large Marshall logo back on before I got it. both of these cabs run alternately through two @orangeamplifiers 2x12 closed back cabs, both stock. enjoy? absolutely. #BLKTRI #DEATHBEFOREBATTERIES #DOOMEDTODISTORT #MARSHALLAMPS #ORANGEAMPS #MORGANAMPS #MESABOOGIE

VULCAN SERIES: TORCH set. these sold immediately along with a FROST GIANT set to @divinemotherrecordings … and man, he’s in for a treat. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the TORCH is our flagship for a reason. every time I play them it’s like my rig just sounds perfect… it sounds exactly how I want it to. that is a good feeling. enjoy man! #BLKTRI #DEATHBEFOREBATTERIES #DOOMEDTODISTORT #VULCANSERIES #TORCH www.BLKTRI.com
