    New Impulse Purchase (Mayones) Day

    This popped up for sale for a good price and I couldn't resist. I guess it helps that I've recently been GASing for almost exactly this guitar. I've been looking at pictures of dark-colored Regiuses with trems, though a new one is more than I really want to spend on a guitar. Definitely in...

    DIY 2x12 Cab Build

    For a while I had been using a Zilla oversized 2x12 and a little 1x12 in stereo. I figured I should upgrade that 1x12 to a 2x12, and (for fun mostly) I decided to build it myself. I bought the wood, then I found a Marshall M280 cab locally for cheap and bought that. I thought about abandoning...

    New VFE Standout day

    Just got this in today, ordered it like a week or two ago when I heard that Peter was done building pedals and was just selling off stock. I was considering buying the pcb for this that he / madbean is selling but for the price these were going for on reverb, it seemed worth it to just buy one...

    Does anyone still play a Line 6 Vetta?

    I’ve been traveling down memory lane lately, and I’ve been thinking about picking up a used Pod XT or Pod X3 (X3 more likely so I don’t have to mess with model packs) for the sake of nostalgia, as I had an XT way back in the day when I was in college. I still have an old toneport with the...

    Attenuators and their affect on tone (ITT nerd shit)

    Lately I've been looking into ways to get my Recto into its sweet spot where the fizz goes away, but without deafening myself or annoying the neighbours (too much). Most of my amps sound great at the volumes I play (loud to the point where the walls resonate with palm mutes, but not to the...

    I'm gonna try to build a 7 string strat!

    I've wanted a 7 string strat for some time now. Well, perhaps hot-rodded strat is a better description, as I want a 22 fret strat, but with a floyd and a humbucker in the bridge, maybe no pickguard, and in some gaudy color like shell pink. It seems nobody wants to make one, so I figured I'd...

    NGD - Fryette GP/DI (short metal clip inside)

    I've kind of wanted one of these since they came out. Its one of those things that was made for recording but theres hardly any good recordings out there of it. Most people who have them seem to like them though, so there's that. Well, Peach Guitars have them on sale for a price I would have...

    New Pickup Day - L500XL

    I bought a used Bill Lawrence USA L500XL on eBay, out of a 1997 Washburn Nuno sig, which arrived today, just got it installed in my parts strat. Replacing a SD ‘59. Nothing wrong with the ‘59 (its a really good pickup) I just felt like something different. The pickup ring is slanted though so...

    New Preamp Day - ISP Theta

    This arrived earlier in the week, kind of an impulse purchase, since I do see it recommended pretty much any time someone wants a high gain solidstate amp or high gain preamp, but there are almost no decent clips out there of it. What swayed me was that it's an interesting concept. The EQ is...

    Question about biasing tube amp

    Hey guys, pretty noob question about biasing tube amps, I’ve never done this before, I figure I should make sure I’m understanding this right. So I bought a little bias probe off eBay that plugs into my multimeter. I tested it with my multimeter and it interrupts pin 3, so when it’s plugged...

    Anyone played Jet City amps?

    I watched an episode of Tone Talk on YouTube with Dave Friedman and Mike Soldano the other day, and at one point they speak about Jet City amps which apparently was Mike and a few others having Soldano circuits made in Asia to keep the costs down so they could sell some more affordable but good...

    New DIY stuff day (Pedals and things)

    I recently got into building pedals when my TC electronic integrated preamp stopped working correctly. I bought a BYOC kit to work on my soldering skills before tackling repairs to my TC pre, and it turns out, I really enjoyed it. First thing I built, after the BYOC kit, was a clone of my TC...

    New (home made) Pedal Day! [TC Pre clone]

    After repairing my TC Electronic Integrated Preamp which was sort-of-broken (replaced electrolytic capacitors and now its back in action), I decided I wanted to try to make a clone. I found the schematic and parts list online, and a veroboard layout someone had kindly made over on the...

    New pedal day - BYOC FET Preamp

    I bought the FET Preamp kit to put together for a couple reasons - it looked like an interesting boost, similar in concept to my TC Electronic Integrated Preamp, and I wanted to try it. And partly because my TC Integrated Preamp is broken and I want to fix it, and I've never soldered on PCB's...

    How do I go about diagnosing a broken pedal?

    Hey guys, I think my TC Electronic Integrated Preamp is broken, I was using it today, and it set the eq flat and volume at unity gain on my clean channel, and there is a gross distortion added by the pedal. I've narrowed it down to something in the pedal, as I've tried different cables...

    New Poweramp Day - Fryette 2/50/2

    I've been keen on getting a tube poweramp for my axe fx II for a while now, partly to see what I've been missing, as I haven't owned a tube amp in many years at this point, and partly because I've not been 100% on my axe fx through a solidstate poweramp. My current poweramp is a real cheap...

    New 8-string bridge pickup for RG8

    Hey guys, it's finally time to get a new bridge pickup for my RG8. It's an older one, Basswood body, Maple neck. I've been struggling along with the stock pickups for a long time now, as I'm primarily a seven string player so the 8 doesn't get a ton of play anyway. Currently it has bridge...

    New Cab Day! Zilla Fatboy 2x12

    I've been looking for a new cab lately as I've just been using a 1x12 PA cab I stuck a V30 in for a while now. It works decently, but it was about time to get something good. I was looking for a Mesa 2x12, but holy hell are they expensive in the UK! Lucky me, Zilla is based here, and their...
