    Monitor Showdown - KrK vs M-audio vs

    What's up community, I'm getting into the DIY game and I'm about to make my first purchase on a pair of monitors. My price range is about $300, so I was pretty much set on getting a pair of the M-audio bx5 g2s, but my friend is moving and offered to sell me his KrK RP8s for as low as...

    HELP ME OUT!! Audio Interface or Line 6 POD

    Greetings 7-string community. I've been into progressive stuff for a while now (cloudkicker, monuments, bulb, etc.) and just recently picked up my first seven string (Agile w/ crunch lab 7). I'm real happy with this purchase, and it's inspired me to start writing again. With that being said, I...

    Home made pick clips

    So I got into thumb picks recently mainly to free up fingers for tapping. But the only thumb picks I can get in India are the planet waves thumb picks.:wallbash: I don't like the tip of these and prefer how my jazz III's tip feels, so I decided to make my own pick clip (since Chris Broderick's...

    Custom shop Ibanez RG Tutorial.

    Sup guys, Emman here. I own a stock black Ibby and love it to death, but the thing is that while I like the all black smooth finish, I always wanted a white seven string with black binding and couldn’t seem to get what I want anywhere so I decided to get it done by myself. Well, this time I...

    New CBG build start day

    I had built one a while back as kind of a learning process and of course made tons of mistakes on it (scale/fret distance is way off, box is falling apart, piezo was too weak to pick up sound, etc), and now I have some time to focus a little more on the build itself. Went with a wood box with a...

    Finally Completed DIY Rack Day!!!

    So here's the dilly-o.. I run through a Vox Tonelab LE and a few various pedals separated out into two cases (which I'll post when I'm done with them). I had the Velocity for power, and the RackRider to power the Velocity and my pedal boards. I also had the orange Seismic cab, so I wanted a...

    Considering replacing the LEDs on my Fireball 100, any tips?

    Hey everyone! I've want to go through with this process for a long time now. I'm not a huge fan of the Red LEDs, and I'd much rather have a different color. However, I am not particularly experienced with anything to do with wiring. From my understanding, the process seems as simple as...

    Project: Building a 4x12 Cab

    So far all has gone well. I ended up picking up a sheet of 11 ply birch at the local lumber yard for the cab. 3/4 thick. That covers the speaker baffle, all 4 sides, and the back panel. Pine pieces will make up the braces. Here is what I have done thus far. I purchased a 5150 cab for the cheaps...

    MXR pedals and their hex screws.

    hope this is in the right place. i've been trying to crack open my MXR EQ pedal for a while now, but it sees every key i try doesn't fit. they have four hex-shaped screws on the back of their pedals (and two standard, but i think that's for the pcb). another forum suggested a T15 torx key...

    EB volume pedal DIY

    I recently wore through the string on my Ernie Ball volume pedal. I don't want to get a replacement string through EB because this is just gonna happen again, so I'm going to hook my own shit up.
