Re: Chimp-o board There's the Gator Tone Bone, but the one that fits a wah might be a tad bigger than you're looking for. http://www.samash.com/gator-g-bone-pedalboard-ggpedalbo

It all started with a thrown-together outdoor show. It was one of those poorly managed situations that couldn't seem to get anything right. It started an hour late, it had a hard cut-off time, we were the fourth of 7 bands to play in like a 5 hour time frame, and two bands played sets twice as...

I know, I know. Nothing sounds like a Les Paul but a Les Paul. But I'm a Strat & Tele guy at heart. That said, I know it's unlikely, but have any of you run into any 25 1/2" scale beauty that would make even Slash look twice?

I run direct at my church using a Tech21 Liverpool, and until recently, I'd been relying on a wedge to hear myself. I've just switched to an in-ear system. Right now I'm running just a really cheap pair of decent, isolating ear buds, but I'm looking to upgrade. I'll have a bit of money coming...

What pedals have you been so excited for, only to try them out and find them kind of meh? I've had several. I ordered a nice Ross Compressor copy. Got it in, and just meh. I ended up flipping it a month later. The Ibanez Jet Driver is another one for me. I really, really liked it in the...

Picked up a Texas Hot Antiquity bridge pickup to go in my Strat! I've got a 96 Jimmie Vaughan Strat. I've had the stock Tex-Mex pickups in it forever. I've always liked the neck and middle, but the bridge was always just way too weak. I tried playing with the heights, string gauge...

I want to know about pedals you really, really like. Something you might not even be sure why you like it so much. Not something that you regard highly, and maybe something that you think there might be better pedals. For instance, I really, really like my DOD Bifet Boost. It's a simple...

I'll premise this with the fact that I'm not super big on modulation. I like my TR-2 Tremolo, and I enjoy a good analog phaser (subtle ones, like the Phase45 or the DOD Phasor). Chorus has never really been my thing. But, sometimes a client or bandleader will look at me and ask for some...

I'm wondering everyone's thoughts on forgoing the traditional pedal tuner on your board in favor of the now plentiful market of affordable, accurate clip on tuners. I've got my trusty old Korg DT10 on one of my boards, and I love it. It's plenty accurate, bright, and muting my signal is a...

Well, my Blues Junior is on the fritz. I'll probably get it fixed, but it has me thinking of new amps. While it's out of commission, I'm using my Valveking 112. Good amp, underrated, but it's not quite what I'm looking to use as my main gigging amp. What I play: I play blues, funk, punk...

So I'm slightly pedal obsessed, as we all are, and after my last trip through Nashville, I've finally ended my wah pedal search with a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe. I had been using the Ibanez Weeping Demon for my praise band (more on that later), so I'm used to a fairly large sweep. The Clyde Deluxe...

Re: PUP Suggestions for my 1958 Tele? Thanks for all the replies! Checked the circuit. It's all wired-up correctly to Dark Circuit standards, with an added ground under the bridgeplate. The reason that the tone acts like a volume on the bridge is not because it is a volume, but because it is...

I've had my dad's old 58 telecaster for several years now, only bringing it out for special occasions. The neck pickup is fantastic, if fairly dark, but the bridge seems to be busted. I get only treble through it, to the point that the tone acts like a second volume on it, and it doesn't read...

Hey guys! I'm going an install with an older Duncan I've had lying around. I'm pretty sure it is then Hot Rails. But I only have three wires coming off it. Red White and ground. I didn't want to do coil split or anything, so do I just wire red and white together and ignore the lack of green?

Hello there! I am needing some pickup advice. I just acquired an AXL Marquee with the intent of overhauling it. It's a killer guitar and super cheap, so plenty of room for mods! I've been looking at various pickups, mainly Duncans but some others. The set needs to handle overdrive and...
