    DIY Prototyping Board nearly completed

    Now that I have gotten back into some pedal builds, here is a prototyping board I just put together. The black box has a 9V battery inside and external switched 9V jack. Switch is a 3PDT, but a toggle instead of a footswitch since it is tabletop. Unlike most effects pedals, power to the board...

    What's your opinion of modern T-Tops?

    I got sucked into a VIP event at Guitar Center with a 20% off coupon and gravitated to a beautiful walnut Gibson 335 with T-Tops. Playing it through a $3800 Mesa Boogie Mark Vii was heaven, but when I went to a "regular" amp (an AC-15), they were too bright for my liking and the guitar lacked...

    New Amp Day - O20H

    So Pretty.. Awesome tones, but surprisingly loud (ok, not really a surprise, more like denial of reality because I just wanted it). I am using a Weber attenuator on the low and medium setting

    Wired Fat 50 Pickguard feeler?

    I have a Fender Player Strat I upgraded with Fat 50 pickups on a mint pickguard that I have listed on Reverb. I am not seeing much interest in the upgraded guitar, so wondering if anyone might be interested in the ready-to-drop-in pickguard / pickups and I would return the guitar to stock and...

    Questions on dying battery simulators

    I've seen a few different basic circuit designs, including a simple pot between dc in and dc out (current drop), similarly a pot but adding a resistor to ground (the "Beavis" voltage divider) and one which employs an LM317. I am interested to experiment with the first two. I am curious before I...

    Peter's pickup height

    Bass side is well below the rings on both pups. Sounds great against Danny's monsterous P90s

    A Tale of Two Treble Boosters

    I recently purchased a Catalinbread Naga Viper v2 to put in the front of my pedalboard to heat things up a bit. Initially, running it into my new JHS Bender fuzz was a noisy mess as it was heavily amplifying pickup buzz and the white noise floor. I tried it at 9v and 18v off my CS7, in the end...

    Origin 20 Head or Combo

    I am about to choose one of these 2 as a pedal platform for home use. I have a 10" Celestion Greenback I can swap into the combo and also have a closed back EVH 112 cab with the EVH G12H 30W Anniversary Series speaker. My gut says get the (cheaper) head plugged into the EVH cab, and maybe at...

    Anyone replaced a super switch on a Charvel HH or similar with a standard 3 way?

    The mod is complete and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I was originally going to keep the black barrel knobs, but they were too high, being so close to the bridge pickup and instead went with bell reflectors from Philadelphia Luthiers. I used 500-525K CTS pots, for independent volume...

    Keeley Fuzz Bender vs JHS Bender

    I've had the keeley for several months and like some of the nasty fuzz I can pull out of it. But I agree with many opinions I read of it that some amount of sputter/velcro is always there. I was hoping for more of a tonebender mkii/mkiii vibe. Im just a home hobbiest so i dont want to drop a...

    Les Paul top ?

    I have been considering the purchase of a specific new LP Standard from a well-respected online retailer (not GC or SW). As is almost always the case, the top looks very different from various angles. In some light it looks great, but in certain light the seam looks very prominent and from other...

    Anyone replaced a super switch on a Charvel HH or similar with a standard 3 way?

    OK, I have sourced a pickguard. Attached pic mocks the new hole locations. But a final important question? Stick with the 1 ply black or go with a black-cream-black 3 ply?
