    Thoughts on Seymour Duncan Liberator? Considering installing them!!!

    Folks. I love to try out pickups, but do not have enough vision to do soldering. I am thinking the Liberator system may work for me, with the assistance of my fiancé, to make sure I am matching up the wire/color scheme when putting in new pickups. SOme folks have warned me that a solderless...

    Blind and teaching myself guitar repair: got a cheapo, need some help with first few

    Well, I posted about this some time ago. I pulled the trigger on a cheap used guitar on reverb. I picked u a Cort G200 in black, with white guard and rosewood board. I got it for 75 shipped in an awful gig bag. There seems to be no fret buzz, and there is minimal fret end hanging off the...

    Vox Valvetronix, Xotic, RMC, Korg

    ALrighty, folks. 2010 Vox Valvetronix AD15VT: this is the 1x8 combo and has been a great practice and small jam amp. I think this smokes the latest versins and are know for being more diserable. Vox nailed these early models. Comes with power cord. Asking for $115 shipped out the door...

    Schecter, ESP, or other shred/metal guitars loaded with Duncans I should check out?

    Folks, I've really been getting back into playing metal and hard rock lately. Rather than getting a pickup set and paying to have it installed, I am looking into getting my hands on a used Schecter, ESP, or something along those lines, that comes loaded with some Duncans. I know Schecter has...

    stacking distortion and overdrive pedals... favorite combos?

    I've got some great OD pedals, which include a Wampler CLarksdale, Xotic AC plus, and a Ditone Smoozy. I do have a JHS mini bomb boost for a clean boost as well as a Joyo US Dream for a distortion pedal. If I'm not taking out my Dumble style amps, I am usually bringing out the Joyo and one OD...

    Palmer PGA04 and Two Notes Torpedo Live

    I am looking into getting a recording setup going for home, but want to use the gear I actually play ut with. The Palmer PGA04 and Two Notes Torpedo Live really stand out to me. These also come with built in load boxes, so I can crank my tube amps at home for normal play and really dial in my...

    Gig Rig G2 and 1 Control OC10

    Looking to see if anoyne here has experience with either. Gig Rig G2 and 1 COntrol OC10 are a far cry from one anorher in terms of cost, but the G2 has some other really unqiue features that the OC10 does not. However, they do not seem like I would really need them, such as pre and post gain...

    Really digging hot rodded Marshall tones... Soldano, SPlawn, others?

    I've been listening to more and more guitarists using hot rodded marshalls, like Warren Haynes, Lynch and others... I've also been digging Joe DOn from Rascall flats and some of his Bogner tones. I'm interested in getting my hands on a hot rodded marshall kind of amp, but does not lean too much...

    Xotic AC Plus and Korg Pitchblack FS

    Xotic AC Plus This pedal has two channels. A is a preamp sort of clean-ish boost and has level and drive with a 3 band EQ and hard/soft clipping. It can be a clean boost with tweakable tone or a mild OD boost, works great as its own setting. Channel B is more an OD setting and has lots of...

    Where to put a buffer pedal in the signal chain??

    All, I'll be running 5 or 6 pedals into the front of my amp and then a delay unit in the FX loop, with the delay unit being on my board, so I'll have between 24 and 40 feet of cable going all over. I've got a JHS little black buffer and was wondering should I put it first in the chain or in...
