Hi all, I have this 1975 Gibson Deluxe, and it is a hell of a guitar, sorta my number 1. The neck (with a stock mini measuring 6.1K or so) is to die for. The bridge can give me lots, and lotsa tones, from tele kinda spank and clarity to thick PAF territory (when pushed with GE fuzzfaces or...

Re: Resistive LoadBox B

Hi all, What's up with those? I obviously am late to the party and felt like whoooaaa you know... What happened here kinda... 1000 bucks for the board and 200 300 for the cab? Are they worth it? Please free to enlighten me... Not that I am gonna go for them, love my tube amps. Still got...

Hi Guys, I've done a recent resistive loadbox to take along with my 12W 6v6 amp (a Supro clone) for a while. I simply cannot carry and use a real cab. This one that I did uses a 25W 8 Ohm resistor and has a circuit for a line output and treble bleed... I take the signal from this "hot" box...

Re: Neck Humbucker/Bridge single coil suggestions for a Tele? Hamel STD-A (Blackguard) bridge, Fender Tx. Special middle, Duncan Ant. HB in the neck (with its stock degaussed a2 mag). Previously, I had a 7.80K Duncan JD in this guitar before installing it elsewhere. I never ever thought of...

Re: 80's fan boys get in here I had one... but wasn't a fan. Back in the day, I wanted this: https://reverb.com/item/2017360-kramer-baretta-1987-red HM strat was just a substitute! :( B

Hi all, About the same? I know that if it were to be an a5 PAF kinda pickup, the parallel mode would be quite weak. I don't want that. I know (thanks to freefrog) in terms of the clarity, SD in parallel would be quite good. You see, my problem is the following guitar (76 deluxe with stock...

Re: Bridge pickup in the Neck position and unexpected results! What have I done??? The neck is a 8.00K PGb! The bridge is a Brobucker (tb). B

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now. B

Hi all, How do I wire a tele bridge pickup and a strat middle pickup as if the following is done using a single volume pot, the good old 5 way switch, and the addition of an on/off DPDT mini switch: - In the new position (second position with the miniswitch on or of whatever), it should sound...

Re: Jazz and 59 necks...really much difference? I love a4 59N's... with a bit tamed highs and bass but overall with the same 59 character that I love. I've been using it for more than 15 years I think. https://soundcloud.com/dr-barlo/sets/barlo-the-jammer There are literally 100 jams that I...

Re: Cheapest good compressor? I couldn't pass this opportunity... NPD x 2 for me... an alter ego and a phase 90 for quite a good price. Now the board is getting done (I could use an MXR Timmy instead of that joyo crunchbox)... But I am not in hurry. B

Re: Cheapest good compressor? I could never like the Dyna Comp. I always found it too squishy you know... Not enough knobs for me. Tastes... I was checking out YouTube and grabbed this pic from an old Brent Mason vid. I gotta try this the second I get the chance. :) B PS: Here is the...

Hi all, Now that I am done with the "cheapest good TS", I intend to go for a good but cheap compressor. This is for a secondary board (I keep the gigging board with a Barber Tone Press in a bag for mobility purposes; this secondary board one is just for the heck of it... I guess I gotta get a...
