Hey gang, I'm moving to a new place with upstairs neighbors. I have a LOUD amp right now, and it really doesn't like room level volumes at all. I like my new neighbors and don't want to annoy them. I like to jam along with music. Right now, I have my Fender Twin set to low power and I turn up...

Hi guys. I am trying to find a way to blend between an a and b output like the wet/dry blend pot for an FX loop. Do I need a special pot for that or do I just use a normal pot? If the latter, how do you wire that? Thanks!

Hey folks, It's time to retube the Fender Twin. I have been using a pair of kt66hp's for the last year or so and they have been great. I have read a couple reviews of kt88's and think they might be great. Anyone have experience? If so, please do tell!

Hi guys! the crazy rain out here in California bid me an unfortunate welcome this morning. When I went to my garage, I found my tubescreamer in 1/2 inch of water. I immediately opened the thing up and (while water dripped out) saw that there was much cleaning and drying to do. In drying the...

Hey guys, I am trying to make a footswitch thingy. I need to get ahold of some stuff: standard metal "button switches" 25k pots chicken head knobs I peeked around at stew-mac, allparts, etc, and didn't see anything. Anyone know where I can pick these things up? thanks, kak

My new Les Paul came from heritage with a CC in the bridge (by my request). since I have a C5 lying around, I thought I would do a comparison. Let me start out by giving you my rig lowdown: guitar - les paul standard custom order ala Heritage gain - keeley ts9 amp - fender twin - modded to...

I was just wondering what magnets the orginal PAFs in the Gibbys of the 50's and 60's had in them? We have the Seth with AII's, and the rest of the PAF pups that SD sells have A5 (including the 59). Were the originals AII? Do AII mags just sound more like pups that are that old? Just curious.

I have a Keeley TS-9. After a year of wonderful use, I have noticed something odd,(and I think new). When I set the level up all the way, I hear a weird high-pitched "boink" every time I turn the thing on or off. I tried swapping the battery, and although the battery that I put in it wasn't...

Hey guys, I was just catching up on some crazy emails, and some buddy of mine was asking me how long my neck tenon was on my PRS Cu22. I checked and mine is a long tenon (actually almost all the way through the neck pup cavity. the neck pup mounts to it). Is that true for all models? I figure...

Hey gang, I saw another Heritage guitar came in today, and I thought I would post a couple of pics of mine. I ordered mine 3 months and 6 days ago as a custom order. It came in the post today and still smells of the fresh nitrocellulose finish.... (mmm brain damage) I ordered a HC150 (that's...
