Why not get an HX One with all the weird sounds you want for the same price as one pedal?

Have a look at a used Atomic Firebox, it's really nice and within your budget. And there's a really nice Friedman BE model ;)

Not Apple fault, I have no problem connecting and powering my Axe IO One via UBS-C on my iPhone 16.

I haven't weighted it but it's no more than 30lbs. As it's not a tube amp, so the vents seem enough.

I think Quarter Pound pickups werenamed because of the individual 1/4" alnico 5 magnets. I know nothing about the QP Tele neck but the obvious would be to measure if the magnets are 1/4"?

Nope sadly, but a used Android phone/tablet is pretty cheap and less risky than being stolen. I don't know why the iOS version is bluetooth only. Edit: cannot work on iOS over USB because Katana is not class-compliant.

I refitted my Katana Gen1 into a close back cab with an Eminence GB128, and effectively it was noticeably better.

You can use Katana Librarian on Android phones/tablets, which are more portable than a laptop.

+1, it's not fun to play seated as it's always sliding. I know you are 70 miles (what is a mile by the way?) from a music store, but maybe check Ovation's in the classified near you.

John Deere has a trademark on green and yellow agriculture equipment... Velcro and Aspririn are also trademarked. Seymour Duncan has patents to protect its IP by the way. Why Dimarzio cannot?

BTW I have a Godin Exit 22 and I really like it. The little cousin of your SD22 ;)

I would put 500k pots just for fun. I had a STK-S7 in the neck of my Strat with 250k pots and it was too dark for my taste. I think 500k pots would have worked.

The back of my VM Jazz bass was a bit sticky. I've done 2-3 passes of 1000 grin sandpaper and it came as smooth as butter.

I bought a new Squier Vintage Modified Jazz 5 string in 2017, mainly to mod it. It's 2025 and the only things I changed are :bridge, control plate and knobs, just because I wanted them in black. I will change the tuners when one breaks as they're not the best, but they keep the bass in tune. I...

Maybe my old '80s EMGs sounds better then yours '90s EMGs ;)
