Hey everyone! It's been about a year and a half since I posted here but I'm back with a question! So, I've decided to resurrect my first guitar ever, an old Fender Strat. I want this guitar to be able to get trebly, but hold it's own on heavier rhythm stuff. By trebly I'm thinking poppy stuff...

Hey everybody! I just bought a wonderful new Macbook Pro for college and it's amazing! But now that I'm using OS X, I need new recording software! Does anyone have any reccomendations? Try to keep it under $500... Thanks!

I was walking through my local guitar shop today and saw one of these. I picked it up and played it a little. Wow. I really really really like this guitar. Anyone else played one yet? Any idea about quality? From what I've heard, schecters are pretty well made guitars, but I've never really had...

Hello everyone! I'm heading off to college next year and I'm starting to realize I can't take any of my guitar gear! So, I'm going to buy myself a new acoustic to take along with me to school. Right now, I have a Martin acoustic with a spruce top and mahogany sides that I love, but it doesn't...

Hello! So, yesterday I tore 3 ligaments in my right knee while skiing (My ACL, MCL, and Miniscus). This has successfully freed up an ENORMOUS amount of time in my life for a while. I'm pretty limited to what I can do right now, but I know I can still build pedals! So, does anyone have any...

Just wondering if anyone's tried one? I'm looking for a new amp that can cover a lot of bases... I need dark heaviness (like Tool) as well as more vintage tones such as ACDC. I also need good cleans because Pink Floyd is one of my biggest influences... Any other suggestions for amps would be...

Hey guys, I have a TC eletronics G-major to sell. It's a little under a year old and it great shape! Functionally, it is perfect, but there are some scrapes on the underside of the unit and around the mounting holes. You can't even tell the scrates are there once it's mounted. The only reason...

Hey, Does anyone know of a distortion pedal that's voiced similar to a Mesa Mark III? Don't worry about my budget, I'm just looking for a pedal that sounds like this... Thanks.

I have a Mesa Rectoverb in prestine condition and I'm looking for a Mesa Mark III or IV. The Rectoverb is missing its footswitch, but those can be found on ebay easily. I believe the Rectoverb is an '03, but I'm not 100% positive. Thanks for looking

Hey, I'm building a talk box and I want to build the type that is completely self contained (contains amplification and everything). I was thinking I'd buy one of those hald held 5 watt fender amps and take it apart and just reconnect its speaker to the midrange driver. Do you think this would...

Just thought someone might find this interesting... I built a fully functional true bypass relay looper pedal with an led indicator... in an altoids container... OH YEAH!I just rewired the guts of it... Now it's clean and organized... This is what it looked like when I first made it...

Hey guys. I bought the Mesa Rectoverb (series II) and Mesa Oversized Cabinet in '04. I sold them about a year after to my friend, but bought them back soon after. To put it simply, my musical tastes are changing and I need to let go of this beauty. I already have a Marshall JCM 800 2204 that...

Hey. I have to bias my Marshall JCM 800 2203, and I've decided to do it myself (I have experience working in amplifiers, so don't worry aobut that..). Tell me if this is how it's done... I disconnect the ground thats attached to pins 1 and 8 on each power tube, and replace it with a 1 ohm...

Does anyone have a schematic for a type of mix circuit? For example, I can select how much of a signal is affected by an effect, and how much of it is sent though unaffected. I want to make a rocker pedal that mixes other pedals in and out of the circuit chain. Thanks.
