Hey everyone I haven't posted in a while (been really busy with life) but I've been building guitars again lately and I've got a Les Paul special routed for humbuckers. I've got a Gibson 498T in the bridge and the only thing I have to put in the neck is a Dimarzio PAF 36th anniversary neck...

Straight out of my Gibson Kirk Hammett Les Paul Greeny. The neck magnet has been flipped from the factory for out of phase middle position. $250 shipped in the Continental USA. These pickups have a really nice "vintage hot sound"

I'm thinking about getting a Keeley katana for a nice clean boost to drive the front of my dirty marshall. Anybody here have one or use one and what's your opinion of it?

Got this in a couple days ago, its my birthday present to myself which is tomorrow. This is basically the same as a Les Paul standard faded with a AAA top and different pickups. The real reason I got this is because it's a AAA flame maple top with a satin finish. Love the satin finishes. I plan...

Looking for suggestions for a OD that pushes mids and hi mids and doesn't cut bass like most tube screamers. I've gone through all my OD's that I own and am ready to find something new. Does Duncan still make the 805? Suggestions for tube screamer clones that don't cut bass please.(other...

I remember the Marshall DSL40 was the first tube amp I bought and I didn't like how it sounded in the mids and bass but I was keeping the volume below 1 and I probably wasn't the best at setting amps then as it was my first tube amp. So I went from the Marshall DSL40 to a PRS MT15 which I liked...

It's a limited edition special run of pedals from Oneder effects (great dive pedals) it's got 2 separate boosts and you can stack them. The first one gets some breakup when you turn it up and the second boost on top can take you all the way to fuzz territory. Set fairly low it's a nice clean...

I got my Eastwood guitar in today, it's a copy of the johnny Ramone mosrite guitar. It sounds pretty good, gas alot of midrange but the 60 cycle hum from the single coil bigs me so I'm going to put a noiseless SC in it's place. The pickups do actually sound good and the hardware seems to be...

I'm going to order some alnico 3 bar magnets to swap into my 490r and I've come across polished and rough cast bars, what's the difference in sound?

I got my Harley Benton pro series teles in and I'm pleasantly surprised. This is my first HB guitar so I didn't know what to expect. From what I can tell so far it has a really nice neck on it, really smooth and nice shape, stainless steel frets. It also has nice hardware (locking tuners and...

Another tube pedal review. This one coming in at $65 in price. Don't know what brand of tube is in it it's difficult to get to the tube inside but it's some kind of 12ax7. The character of this distortion I would describe as gritty. It's only got controls for volume and distortion so I think...

Another tube pedal. I found this on eBay and it was only $55. It comes with a 6n2j tube but you has an internal switch for replacing it with a 12ax7. It's got usual volume, gain and tone controls. With the stock tube it sounds good, has a kinda unique distortion, would probably sound good for...

I should get my Eastwood mach 2 soon I'm kinda wary of the high output single coil pickup (just the 60cycle hum) so if it does bother me I was thinking about which noiseless single coil to put in. I don't have experience with alot of single coil pickups as I'm a Les Paul player but I remember I...

I put a deposit down to secure one of the johnny Ramone guitars coming out next month. On my receipt it said I had until August 24th 2023 and I sent them an email asking if I could pay it down each week or if they wanted to take the whole amount at once . I didn't know since this is my first...

I'm sure you guys have heard about the new orange amp that's about to come out. They market it as being almost as loud as a 100 watt amp from sound pressure samples. What does that mean exactly and is it possible for a 30 watt amp running a quad of EL84's to be as loud as a 100 watt amp...
