Is there a cheap pedal thats not the Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl, that will simulate the semi-random pitch and speed modulation of "flanging" a vinyl record by pressing your finger on the side?

I have a book called 101 Three-Chord Songs by Larry McCabe that is really great for when I have guests over who are not musically inclined and I want to show them that music doesn't have to be as hard as people want you to think. The problem is two fold: first, the songs are focused on older...

Some sort of Strat prototype?

The Wolfgang neck is a bit of a weird pickup because due to it's wire guage the DCR of the neck pickup is higher than the bridge despite having less copper on the coils. What's the closest pickup I can get to one without breaking the bank? it doesn't have to be identical if that's not...

If I have a DC-2w and put a guitar signal in input 1 and an octave down of that same signal in input 2, what happens if I just use a single mono output? I'd assume when the pedal is on they would both be effected and then output through output one, and when bypassed the signals would sum into...

I was playing a friends Gibson LP Recording and really liked the series mode where the middle position is insanely fat because the two pickups are wired in series. I understand enough about circuits, but I can't seem to find any diagrams that help me understand how you can put a series/parallel...

I got a chance to play a '66 AVRI Jazzmaster this weekend and now I am wondering if I want one. $2.6k is a little steep for me to go in if I'm just going to modify away all the things people pay extra for. A few things I noticed, The bridge pickup is a bit bright, who makes a good overwound...

This pedal seems like it could be just the ticket for me moving forward. A versatile amp replacement that would let me use my home sound system as an amplifier? All the clips I hear are good, but i haven't heard much about it on here.

They italicized the Stratocaster: Via Fender Custom Shop

Asking for a friend, so the responses may be a bit delayed for any questions you may have, but who makes the best Jazzmaster for less than a band? The main requirements are traditional wiring and not an artist signature. Also, can the Fender Player 2 be reverted to have the rhythm controls?

This is pretty close to what I have, excuse the poor MS Paint editing to get the holes in the right spot. I found the body at a yard sale, I don't know what it came from or where it was made, but I think it was late 97 looking at the numbers in neck pocket. I guess at this point I can broaden...

I have an HH stratocaster body with a 3 way toggle and a master volume and tone. I've got a pair of Blues Buckers that are going in the neck and bridge. What would you use the switch hole for? Series/parallel isn't really an option for these pickups because one coil is so much fatter than the...

I have a basswood 6-point Strat copy and was looking to change it out for a single humbucker, single volume setup. I have no interest in tapping or splitting. What's the best moderate to high output humbucker I can get that can cover a wide variety of music genres? Something that can be fat or...

There's a lot of cool pedals out there to the point that it can be a bit sensational at times (no, having a limited color run of a pedal that only comes in limited color runs isn't cool, especially if it's a clone of another circuit) but there are still a few pedals that are just inherently...

How good is the JHS PNP? It's supposed to be a Orange Squeeze clone with a blend control and a Rat built into it. I like the minimal controls, but I want something that can do both super subtle and a completely clamped sound.
