I realized a month or so ago that I haven't had my MIM Standard Strat out of the case in over a year. So I took it along with a couple of pedals (EHX Crayon, MXR M-66 Classic OD, and MXR Carbon Copy) do so some trading. I walked out with a Truetone CS12 power supply, a Carbon Copy Deluxe, a...

My new Cannabis Rex showed up yesterday (Love that Prime Shipping!). I was able to get it installed, which was actually a bit tricky, since apparently my amp is a bit crowded. If I stuck it in right side up, the transformer(??) blocked it from being put into place. I kept rotating it until the...

I just got a raise at work that included 3 month of back-pay at my new rate. I decided to splurge on a few gear purchases that have been on hold for a while, and first up on that list was a Cannabis Rex for my Deluxe-ish amp. I'm excited to hear if it will make the difference I'm hoping for! My...

I've been thinking about a speaker swap in my 41st Amps Bayonet (1x12" 2 6v6 Deluxe platform amp). I want to have a bit more clean headroom. With my telecaster (MIM standard pickups), it currently starts overdriving at about 9:00 and is crunching pretty nicely by 10:00. I'd like to be able to...

I got my e-mail about a month ago, but have been unable to order the pedal yet. How long does after the e-mail can you order a pedal? I don't see it anywhere in the e-mail. I'm hoping to get it with my next paycheck, but I'm still catching up for three months of having a job that paid ~50% of...

I'm thinking about switching one of my three telecasters to Keith Richards tuning and I know there are some people around here who play that way so I thought I'd ask for any advice. I'm pretty comfortable in dobro style open-G, GBDgbd, but haven't spent much time with a more standard open G on...

I put my name on the list last July and just got the e-mail tonight that I can order whenever I'm ready. With changing jobs, I'll probably wait until middle of next month to order it, but I can't wait!

How well does it play with an amp that's already breaking up a bit? And does it stack well with other types of pedals? I've been thinking about adding one to my rig to get a slightly beefier rhythm tone out of my current rig. I recently had my first show with my new band and after listening to...

Re: MXR answered the phaser question... Seriously, though, I need this.

Are there any quad 6v6 amps out there? I know there are quad EL84 amps. I've always slightly preferred the tone of 6v6 to 6L6 tubes, and part of me thinks it would be nice to have a 6V6 amp that pushed 35-40 watts.

I have one of those cheap Joyo power supplies that claims to be isolated, but isn't. The unit itself is fine, but the wall wort started shorting when not held at a specific angle right before our show. Fortunately, I always have backups with me, so I had a 1 Spot chain and was setup and ready to...

Re: NGD - telecaster content. Sorry that took so long, got busy at work and didn't have a chance to post.

Picked up a tele that I had on layaway this morning. I'm super excited. I've wanted a traditionally set up tele for a while, and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the store. After some trading and some cash, it's mine! Picture coming shortly.

Re: What pedal should SD come out with next? Too late

I just put a Mexican Telecaster on layaway at a shop in town. I'll be picking it up mid month, and would like to replace the pickups fairly quickly. I'm going to set it up for 4-way switching and I'm about 99% sure I'm going to put an SM-1 Mini Hum in the neck. I'm not sure what I want in the...
