Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a fuzz pedal, and wanted to get some recommendations from everyone here as to what they think might fit the bill! I currently play in a funky blues-rock guitar/drum duo, very The Black Keys-meets-The Who-esque kind of stuff. I've got a nice basic sound going...

Hey guys, so I'm putting together a small studio for my apartment here at school, and I want to have the ability to record 4 tracks at once. I like a lot of older recording techniques and older sounds, so I'm not looking to do anything super crazy. I want to record a three-piece band live...

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted here, but I wanted to share this video with you guys. This is my band playing back in June, with a friend of ours filling in for our usual bassist. I know a lot of people don't like it when bands mess with cover songs, but I really like the...

Hey guys, I just wanted to see what you all thought of the Jetslide or any products similar to it. As someone who loves playing slide guitar and interspersing it into my songs amidst regular playing, this idea seems really cool and something I would definitely find use for. Their website is...

So, lately I've been very much incorporating the tremolo arm on my Strat even more into my playing. Nothing crazy, just stuff like a Gilmour or Beck-styled vocal vibrato on certain notes, sliding into notes, sliding notes down half or whole steps, just little things. Its mostly been spurred on...

So, recently the sound has been cutting out on the bridge pickup on my Les Paul. This pickup is the Brobucker that I installed myself, so I tried rewiring it to the potentiometer. This only made the cutting out even worse. When the bridge pickup is on by itself, the sound will either be...

Hey everyone, wanted to ask two quick recording questions! I'm putting together a studio, and I've already gotten a few mics together. My budget isn't huge, but my goal is to be able to record my four-piece band live. My setup is like this: I use a Presonus Firebox, with four inputs. The...

Hey guys, I'm heading into the studio this whole week with my band. Its a studio in my friend's uncle's basement, very nice place, and we're spending an entire week there for free. Don't let the idea of it being a basement studio throw you off, its a semi-professional studio with all the...

Hey guys, I just got a new set of preamp tubes for my amp (Crate V32 Palomino), since it randomly started loudly crackling when I hit low notes, so someone suggested to me it was the preamp tubes. So I bought a new set of them (A Tungsol, Shuguang, and Sovtek LPS), and plan on replacing them as...

Hey everyone, my wah pedal has been on the fritz for awhile, and I've been thinking about opening it up and checking out what might be the matter with it. That said, while online, I found the Chicago Iron DIY Parapedal kit, which is a drop-in circuit board that fits in Dunlop and Vox style...

Hey guys, I wanted to do a semi-Peter Green mod on my Les Paul today before I take it to a jam thing later, and I kinda forgot how to do the mod :smack: If I want to get the pickups out of phase with eachother in the middle position, do I just switch the hot and ground of one of the pickups...

Hey all, been awhile since I posted a question about a new guitar, but after being on a bit of a Tom Petty kick these past few days (as well as for numerous days in the past), I couldn't help but fall in love with the sound of a Rickenbacker guitar. Now, I've played a Rick before, and while the...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted a clip in here for a long while, so I decided to post this here. It's a very short clip that my friend took of myself singing and playing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," though more in the style of Jeff Buckley than in the style of Cohen. My friend is also jamming...

Hey guys, was talking to my band teacher today, and he found this old guitar pedal in one of the boxes at the school. He wanted me to take a look at it, so I did, and found an old MXR Micro Flanger. He said he'd sell it to me if I wanted it, but I wasn't sure about how it was (and didn't have...

Are there any fuzz pedals that have a tone like a mid-to-late 60s fuzz face (Germanium style basicly) but also have a switchable octave up feature? Thanks! -Corbic
