EUNA came in. Maybe my rig doesn’t lend itself well to it but it’s okay for cleans. Not great going into a high gain amp imo. Gives it this weird processed/compressed sound in the low end. For cleans I get it but, it could never be an always-on pedal for me because it ruins the high gain for me.
Makes sense though, everyone i see with it is using a Vox or Fender style combo with a strat or tele.
If anyone wants to buy it at a fair price let me know.

For what it's worth, a lot of GK guys prefer Kahlers because the tracking gets pretty bad on the pickup when the string height starts moving around.

Who can do a 920D wired pickguard but offer to move that volume 1 knob out ala "Tom Delonge" mod and and and offer a wide array of colors? Guitar Fetish used to do this, you could customize the thell out of a pickguard with like 300 colors. But it appears they just sell templated guards now.
Warmoth is close but kind of limited on the colors:

I'll have to look to see who EMG suggested when I asked about alternate pickguards where the route for the humbucker fits without making the cut out bigger. WD maybe?
EDIT: https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguards.html I think it was these guys.

I went to the dark side.... I bought Amplitube 5 MAX since they had a good sale on it.
I have been playing with the free versions of ToneX and Amplitube, and have been pretty impressed with them.

Yeah, No, Definitely.
So...I keep getting super lucky with guitar center and I might be speaking too soon....I'll try to make this short. There were two of these 412s at this GC store I ordered from, one a slant cab and one a straight cab, both same price. I decided on the slant cab. I called my job store, and had my buddy place the order for some commish. Boom, done. 15 minutes later I'm like, "Crap, I hope I gave him the right POS number", as I had both written down.
I tried to look at my account but of course the picture on the app goes blurry after you purchase and you can't go back and look at the picture. So I tried searching the GC site for the OTHER one, to see what one I bought. To my surprise, BOTH cab advertisements went down for some reason. I was very puzzled, and figured someone else must have purchased the other one at the exact same time. Interesting. I figured I'll just email the store when I get in to work the next day.
After a quick email inquiry asking what one I purchased, the response I get back from store manager was "We packed those up for you this morning and the tracking will update today!"
..."those"? I have yet to ask any questions, but I think I might get two cabs for the price of one
will update tomorrow when the box arrives.

Picked up a Deliverance 60 because it was fairly cheap. When I got home and took the backplate off, I saw that it had a jet city retrovalve red preamp "tube" in the V4 position. I switched it with V1 and holy shit its very high gain. It sounds great and all the other 12ax7s I have make the amp sound thin in comparison. It sucks that Jet City doesn't make these anymore. It's basically impossible to buy more of the reds.

Alright , I got all new pick guard kit for my strat after 25 years. Previous false start last year. But decided to go another color scheme.
A few weeks from now I'll have a blinged up AM Std Strat.

yup. Before the Ukraine war kicked off it wasn't that hard to find AMT stuff.

Yeah anything out of Russia is pretty much unobtainium or close to it. There was a Russian pickup winder (Fokin) that sold some killer pickups but once Putin started his bullshit, their reverb store was pulled down. Which blows because they made one of my favorite passive pickups I've used

MGR had an ISP G String listed at the price of a normal decimator II so I got that on the way.

Damn I thought I got lucky, but nope! Seems someone bought the bottom to this stack at the exact same time I bought the top!

Anyways, the cab fucking rocks! It's overbuilt as hell, but surprisingly light! Still a 412 and heavy, but no where near a Mesa weight. Thick plywood and sealed back, front loaded plywood baffle. I pulled the speakers hoping to see some Union Jacks but I was let down when I saw the unbranded black backs. After a little research and finding someone asking what these were to Eminence, turns out they are just unbranded Legend 12-75's. I think they sound killer, actually. I don't even know if I'm gonna do a speaker swap
watch the classified space if you're interested in Mojotone speakers, I might be throwing them up. The stock speakers are nice and bright but have a low mid growl that sounds really cool and have a pretty tight low end. I only got to try it down to drop C, but seems to hold up to lowish tunings.Don't laugh at the positioning, I had like 30 mins to play with it at my studio and plan to have it down on the floor.
Seems to be slightly smaller than a standard Mesa Trad cab, which is fine by me. Can't tell if the handles are just plastic or plastic lined metal, but they FEEL robust, but also feel plastic. I think this will serve me for years to come. Long live cabs!
Woah woah woah, next week? What's the rush?

I know I should just wait until all the pieces are here then shove them in a box until I think about it again and repeat buying another kit.
I'd give it 5-10 years for sure.
