About 3 years ago I built this amp ... it's documented here too. But I thought this was a cool way of compressing the process. I uploaded on youtube ... the song is played through this amp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbkluM8eEzI Still love the amp ... loaded with an EVM12L ... I also...

Haven't been around a lot lately ... but have been playing more. Sat in with my son's band a couple of times in the last few weeks. Really been a lot of fun actually. Got to make my first youtube videos, as well. In this one we both sing a bit while the female vocalists take a break...

Haven't been around that much lately ... but this recent project turned out really well ... thought I'd share on a few boards. I've been working this project since early this year when I was on the hunt for a 5E3. I picked up a Richter Supra-Luxe head used at TGP. Made a few adjustments to it...

I just put a SPB3 in a friends bass and did not find its hum reduction capabilities that good. I had been considering a set of these for my Yamaha bass that I record with ... but am rethinking. Questions: Anyone really find the SPB3 to be really quiet? What's a good P-Bass passive humbucker...

I'm perplexed a bit. My son's friend is putting together a bass and I have wired it for him using the standard P-Bass/J-Bass wiring schematic at SD. But both pickups hum. After trying lots of different things, I finally took out both pickups and hooked them directly to an input cable...

I'm a big fan of SD pickups ... using several. However, I'm really pleased at what these DM Area pickups are about. I've had the 58/58/61 set in my G&L Legacy for some time now. At first, I stuggled with them until I found out the pickup height was the key. I've taken them out a couple of...

I have the Original Vintage (52RI set) and love the tone of both pickups but really wish they were RWRP in the center (hum cancelling). I understand that the Nocaster set is RWRP and that the bridge is the "reverse". So it seems that if I have a set of Nocasters, I could run either: Nocaster...

I pulled a set of pickups out of a new American Stratocaster a few years ago and I was thinking about putting them back in. Not sure about the wire coding. These are each stamped 016730 and hand labeled S6205 (neck), S6206 (mid), S6207 (bridge) but have plastic covered wiring. they each have...

I recommend this Coyote conertible slant cab for anyone interested in the slant design - nice work, great value. Rob worked with me by sendinging without grill cloth and to specs matching my stock D'Lite 1x12 cab. Got the matching grill cloth and piping Settled for EVM12L in open back top &...

I've had 8 Les Pauls over the years but I parted with the last one back in 1980. I stumbled on this one while buying XLR cables for a PA system. Fell in love with it ... my wife was with me. We've always talked about picking up an LP if I ever found a really nice one. Well we talked it over...

Still liking my D'Lite 22/33 ... have made a couple of adjustments since the build: Added Loop: This loop lets me add a Digitech Hardwire REVERB and DELAY + EBjr 50k Volume Pedal + Korg Pitchblack Tuner (all very quiet in the loop) Added Relays: Added two footswitchable relays that flip the...

OK ... I've played for more than 4 decades through Fenders, Music Man, Ampegs, Marshalls and for about the last 3 decades a Boogie amp ... with nothing but a chord. Added a tuner the last couple of years. This year I built a Brown Note D'Lite 22/33. I love the amp with all my guitars. Well...

I might use both ... I have the RC Boost and love what it does to the front end of my signal ... especially at live volumes. I understand the AC is a bit more colored but not a lot ... maybe a Vox-ish tone. I might like to use them both as options on the front end. Seeing that I'm pretty...

I've always hated the Strat vibrato arm ... even worse my Legacy's version. It's huge. While the whole vibrato unit is way over-engineered, it does stay in tune. Well in both cases (Strat & Legacy), I just remove the arm and we are done. Well ... noticed somewhere that David Gilmour cuts his...

Sometimes you just want to make some slide noise ... Washburn Idol ... D'Lite 22/33 (6V6 tubes on this one) ... from my first day recording with the D'Lite. I call this 2 minute sample Hellhounds ... http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6778689 ;)
