So... I was youtubing (the website you go to get ideas on new things to buy) how to do the EVH brown sound. Then I came across a bunch of videos on the Wampler Pinnacle, and it sounds pretty cool. I'm pretty adamant that I NEED one. I dig the EVH tone and would be happy to be able to get in...

I've got a Marshall TSL60 head on a 1936 cab. I'm considering selling the TSL60 head. It's been way too long since I've been in a band, and it's too big of an amp for practicing at home. I've been looking at the 25 Watt Mesa Boogie Mark V head. I'm thinking the 10 and 25 Watt options would...

Hi all My question is about best way of running stereo effects between two amps, and if there is a better way than what I'm doing so far. I've put my Marshall and Fender amp in stereo. I've got my guitar plugged into an Ernie Ball Volume/Pan pedal (great pedal). The pedal then goes to the...

Hi all, I've never mucked about with a whammy pedal. My question is, if you had a guitar in standard tuning/concert pitch, could you use the pedal to adjust the tuning to play along with songs in that are tuned slightly sharp or down? Cheers

Hi all. I scored a Martinez acoustic 12 String on ebay. It was $60 on account of it having a crack in the top of the guitar. I took a punt on it and bought it. It sounds good, but now I need to figure out how to fix the crack. I'm assuming that in time the crack will run. I'm also assuming it...

Hey all, I finally got around to getting myself a Teese RMC 3. There are plenty of people here who are fans of it. Does anyone have ball park settings to get any of the following sounds? Slash Mike McCready? (The wah sounds from Ten and VS) Hendrix SRV Kirk Hammet (Black Album) Alice...

Hi all, I just scored an RMC3 wah on ebay and have a couple of questions. I'm not after how to set it to particular sounds. There is a chart that came with it with suggested settings. Now, if it says to adjust an internal trim pot to 5, does that mean to 5 o clock? or are the trim pots...

I have been putting together a Jackson Dinky. I found a blue flame body on ebay ages ago, and then recently got a maple neck (DK2M i think it is) to go with it. I finally put them together and strung it up. I had a Cool rails lying around which I dropped in the neck position just to see how...

I'm thinking of replacing my Dunlop Wah. People seem to really like RMC3, from what I've read it is a very versatile wah capable of achieving a variety of classic wah sounds. I like wah tones from hendrix, Jerry Cantrell, Mike McCready (Ten Album), Metallicas black album and SRV. Plus all the...

I have just installed the jimmy page wiring harness into my Epi dot. It sounds great, however I think I have neglected to ground the harness to an earth. There is a slight hum which disappears when I touch one of the pots. I assume I need to run a wire from the back of one of the pots, but...

I've been trying to find out how to modify the volume pot on my Fender Hotrod amp. I really would like the option of being able to adjust the volume above 1. The amp is pretty good, but I just hate that touchy volume control. What is the actual modification? is it just replacing the volume...

I have seen heaps of threads on the actual wiring, but couldn't find any about the actual results. Who here has put the Jimmy Page wiring into their guitar? Is it worth it? I have an Epi Dot, it is wired so that I can split both the neck and bridge pups, and wondering if it would be worth...

Sorry if this is somewhere else on the forum but I couldn't find it. Plenty on EVH pickups though. I am trying to figure out what the effects used on Panama are. Distortion obviously, but what else? Delay? Compression? Thanks

I have the following pedals, which i have collected over the last 10 or so years! Boss TU2 EV MXR phase 90 353Q Dunlop Wah Maxon OD9 EHX Mini Muff Proco Rat MXR Double shot MXR Stereo Chorus Boss DD3 Delay Boss DS1 (not a big fan of this pedal) EXH Small Clone Chorus I also have an Ernie ball...

I've been planning on replacing the buckers in my epi 335 for awhile. I decided to put a PG in the neck and a Custom in the bridge. The dream was to hook them up with push/pull volume pots so I could have single coil tones in both the bridge and neck. However my first attempt failed miserably...
