I'm also a big fan of the SSL5 in the bridge of a strat. It's just more usable for the stuff I want to play than a vintage output bridge.

I like the electric mistress . . . it's a flanger, but all the chorusy sounds I could want are in there too. Mooer makes a surprisingly decent sounding mini pedal copy called the eleclady that I'd recommend.

A locking nut will always hold tune better than a nut where the strings are held in place by just tension over the nut. That's just the nature of the design - a locking nut literally can't impact your tuning after it's locked. That said, there are a variety of ways you can make a regular nut...

The idea's cool, but I've found that I'd almost always rather have a single coil in the neck than a full sized humbucker (firebird pickups work too).

I feel like the deluxe big muff releases were kinda the EHX answer to all the modded muffs out there. You choose either the base sovtek or NY big muff pi sound throw in a noise gate if you want it, and then get that circuit combined with a fully dial-able mid boost (with adjustable width) where...

I really like the '59 in the neck position. It requires some careful adjustment, but there are really beautiful singing tones to be had from it. I think of the options, I'd probably lean towards the JB in the bridge. If I back it waaaay off the strings it still has lots of power, and loses...

You need to figure out the guitar type that works for you. Do you play with a light touch? Are you mostly a fingerpicking guy? Are you mostly banging out open chords at the nut or do you need a guitar with a cutaway that lets you reach up high for lead playing? Steel string or nylon? Heavy...

I think it's a really cool idea. I'd need to actually have one in my hands and mess around with it for a bit to see if it works for me, but it's a very interesting way to kinda bridge the gap between electric and acoustic guitars.

I'm interested! Seems to have all the regular Big Muff goodness, but a little more mid-range . . . which has always been my complaint about the regular Big Muff. Love regular Big Muff sounds, but it kinda disappears with a band. I was interested in the Deluxe Big Muff because of the mid...

Not sure if it's the same for tele, but the QP for strat that I have is quite a fire breather of a pickup which makes me expect it to be at least a little higher output than a regular output neck pickup. Doubt it's a soldering problem though. How far are the pickups adjusted away from the...

*Gibson has entered the chat*

Keep messing it up and you're left with some nice ash toothpicks.

A telecaster is a cutting board that someone fucked up. :P

Everything I've read seems to indicate that the circuit for the FZ-2 is based on the super fuzz: https://catalinbread.com/blogs/catalinbread-cabinet/boss-fz-2-hyper-fuzz https://equipboard.com/items/boss-fz-2-hyper-fuzz https://reverb.com/news/andys-vintage-picks-video-the-boss-fz-2-hyper-fuzz

Neck pickup on a 24 fretter doesn't sound bad, it just does a different thing than on a 22 fretter. The 24 fretter doesn't have the same flutey/hollow neck pickup voice. The 24 fret guitar has a more articulate and less round sound (in some instances I can totally see someone preferring it)...
