Years upon years ago I had a Cort Effector with an on-board effects system. It sucked. Over the years I've had guitars with on-board preamps and treble boosts with sweepable range you could monkey into acting like a wah, but they were largely useless. I know you can get big honkin' circuit...

Seems something caught on fire in the other thread, but I found it to be an interesting topic, even up to the point where the fire broke out. So, I'd like to address the point that was made just before things got personal: that is Mincer's statement of (paraphrasing here) "I like to see...

Not the 2.01 model, I think it's 1.98? Anyhoo, seen one, seen them all. Great shape with typical rack-mounting scuffs in the finish. No mods, buttons work, sounds as good as my 2.01, but does have the defective rear jack that all of them had. All others work fine. Shipping extra, PayPal...

All stock, no damage, no mods, never gigged, bought new. You do actually get used to the head and you don't really notice it when you're playing unless you look directly at it. Never even set up the D-Tuna. I might have a bag for it, but I think it just came in a box. PayPal preferred...

Ash body, 3-piece maple neck, MOP dot inlays, brass side dots, fully operational battle station. Has some finish wear under the pickups, but no major damage. Bought several years ago from a guy in California who claimed to use it with The Doors (or what's left of them). Shipped it to me in an...

...that was probably 6-10 years old. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've seen my string-winder? The struggle is real, kids.

So I kinda "inherited" from my Uncle this oddball e-coustic with Jose Feliciano's name on the head and the sticker inside of it. Apparently it's from 2009, but I can find zero information on it that 5 minutes with it hasn't already revealed. I'm mainly curious if anyone has ever tried one? I...

No, you read that right: Obviously one can boost an amp with a dirt/drive pedal in front of it, but has anyone run an amp's Send into a dirt/drive pedal, using the amp's preamp to boost the pedal, then feeding that back into the Return? Would this even be advisable? Guitar to amp, Send to...

I'm looking for ideas on a USB-powered, compact interface (small enough to carry with my laptop in the bag), that will also allow Audition to run without a "no suitable sound device found" error at startup. Physical or software-based Input level controls would be nice, but as long as it can take...

I know Ace hates these posts, but since it's paid for (and was in stock when I hit the checkout), I figure it can't hurt :D I checked immediately after purchase and it's back to "currently out of stock", so I'll be a bit sore if they send me an email saying I just missed it by "that much"...

Magix Music Maker (ASUS Music Maker by Magix - same thing). Neat little loop-stringer-togetherer with a limited selection of loops. Typical Techno crap, but also had a Cinematic/Movie Score selection. Easy to use, but also very limited in terms of features (no MIDI editing, no loop creation...

Who here has used both an ISO cab (where the box IS the cabinet) and an ISO box (where a cab goes into the box)? What's the primary tonal difference between the two, if any?

So what's supposed to be the deal with the screws predominantly on the outer coils?

Before I break something, is it safe to run a Headphone Output into a Microphone Input? Trying to run my rig into my camera since it can't do streaming capture, and it'd sync better if the audio and video record to the same source (i.e. the camera). I have done it "the hard way" before, but...

Has anyone here added mass to the body of a guitar, similar to the old Kramer that had a steel rod in the lower half? Not talking about brass blocks for trems, but specific regions of the body i.e. top half, lower half, rear extension of an Explorer, wings of a V, just the horns of a Strat, etc...
