I plugged my P90s equipped LP in my Tweaker head + Jettenuator + Iconoclast + Headphone and was greeted with a loud white-like noise, almost as loud as the signal when I started playing. Of all my guitars, this is the one that tends to create some background noises, but this had never been...

Hey Guys, I haven't posted here in a good while. I have got an Egnater Tweaker head. The sound is brilliant, especially the AC and British channels in both vintage and modern modes, but I need to play silently these days, in the veneings when the rest of the family is asleep. I have been...

Soldering iron with cold feet?§? I am trying to rewire my Tele with a 4-way switch and I am having serious trouble! It seems like the iron is not getting hot enough. I am just enable to unsolder any soldered joints and when I try make a new joint, the solder forms a bubble and rolls away...

I have been experimenting a bit with magnets in the '59 set install on my Epiphone. I was quite Epi with the A4 neck and A5 bridge until I decided to change the tuning from standard E, to Standard C (I am now on open C). Somehow, the A, A5 combination didn't cut it as well. I have at the...

Hey Guys, I want to replace the original kluson type gibson tuner of '96 Les Paul Studio, partly for aesthetic reason and partly because one of the tuners took a bad hit on the head and has not been the same since. I am thinking of getting some Grover locking Rotomatics but I don't want to...

After I swap the magnet. I don't recall this happening tome while doing a mag swap so I have no idea what has gone wrong. I did a swap with the neck pup and everything went fine. Tested and it works. The only thing that I did different between the two is that I messed up with the screws of...

Oy! Anybody tried to put some A8 in their '59? My '59 set is installed in the Epi which is tuned in C standard these days. I found the bass response a bit loose and somehow spongy... I think would be a word to describe it. I believe A8 should focus the lows a bit and throw some highs in...

What kind of microphone should I be looking for if I want to pick up the sound from a bass amp and a guitar amp in one shot with only one microphone?

I think I will finally swap speaker in my LC15R soonish. I was thinking of getting a G10 Greenback. What changes in sound should I expect. Would I rather try a G10 Vintage to gain a bit of clarity?

First let me tell you I am now convinced that guitars are meant to be tuned in standard C. There is no doubt about it! Now, the set of '59 with A4 mag in the neck was very nice in standard E, but I think it might be a bit bass heavy with the new setup. I was thinking of trying something like...

Anybody tried that combo? I was wondering, I could get a scratchplate I could put in the tele just for fun every once in a while. Two things, though, I would need a new bridge as well... and are the american tele humbucker ready or it would require some woodwork. Just an idea I had like this...

What make a pickup have a modern or vintage voice? I am wondering because the pickup of my new tele are low output but they don't have the vintage voicing of my MQ, Mule or '59. They just react the same way to amp settings. For instance the tele with the middle to the metal sounds better for...

I feel like experimenting with mags again :D

Now that Fender has updated his website with the American Standard stuff. It seems there is no way to get info on the discontinued American series. Notthat they are brilliant to give info on pups anyway... I was curious though about the specifications of the pup they used to put in Am series...

Please tell me what I should repalce to make this pedal a better wah I opened up my Boss FW-3, to try to work out what could be replaced, here are a few pics:
