    Where do we stand on the Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz?

    The sf300 is handful mods away from being the fz2. The only thing common between the fz2 & univox is the two voice selections. The boost feature is the best thing about the fz2, other than that its fuzz sound is not that useful for wide range of music styles. Keep it, flip it if the prices...

    What are your performance rigs?

    I haven't been playing live for awhile but surprised that zionstrat your GT10 is still getting use. You can assign the footpedal to activate tuner in full heel position while assigning the toe position to toggle between manual & preset mode by just a little back&forth movement of the pedal. Ah...

    Custom vs. Distortion vs. JB

    Eventually the curiosity to try something new in that guitar will overtake the reason to be satisfied with what you have already, might as well get that dealt with now than have it gnaw at your subconscious over time.

    H/H/H wiring

    Ok, modern wiring involves connecting the tone control to the volume pot on the left lug(non-grounded one), the same place where the selector switch hot gets connected, the output jack hot is connected to the middle alone. In your new wiring that you have done, you have connected the tone to the...

    5-way super switch & a P/P switch, 3 mini HBs, ideas?

    I have a 5way super switch & was wondering what I can do with it in a 3 miniHB setup. Simplest seems to be the autosplit in 2 & 4 positions and others where you can have specific combos in the 1,3,5 positions. So I was wondering besides that if its possible to use a P/P switch to get the neck &...

    59/C Hybrid made using 59n(SH1N) coil?

    Instead of using the 59b coil, if the hybrid contains the coil from the 59n, would the Custom coil be more dominant to the overall sound? Have lesser humcancelling effect? Anyone tried it? Was it bad? Sounded thinner?

    Amplitube 4 FREE and how free modelling is changing the marketplace

    Re: Amplitube 4 FREE and how free modelling is changing the marketplace Looks like the tpa3116 amp module. Those are nice, can be run on 12V as well, its not 200W though, around 50W+50W each side in a 4ohm speaker,. 25W in 8ohm & so on. I made a tpa3118 one, had to use rca connectors to keep...
