I have a first generation G4 and an anniversary G3, and they both sound thin and buzzy and terrible into my clean channel and fantastic in the loop. I think it's my clean channel or settings that is or are the issue, not the pedal.

I finally let my gear lust get the best of me and got a mint used pedal on Reverb. Plugged it in hoping to hear all the Soldano glory and was slightly disappointed. Very thin, not enough gain, no bass at all. The cause? Operator error. I figured out that a bright, clean preamp just isn't...

Don't stand on it. Just press the selector switch and step off. No reason to stay there. Turn it on and let your music and toanz be awesome.

Welcome to the club! I'm a gigantic fan of the Custom, and I'm glad it's working out for you. I know my Les Paul has had over a dozen different bridge pickups in it, and I finally decided at least a year ago the stock SH-5 Custom was its match for life.

Definitely depends on the day. I swapped out the Celestion Seventy/80s that came in my cabinet with an Eminence Governor and Wizard pair and would never ever go back to those basic and uninspiring Celestions. After eventually going through some WGS speakers and trying actual Vintage 30s, I...

First of all, this is an interesting question. I don't expect my answer to be all that interesting. I was a broke teenager--I know that's redundant--with a Squier and a Crate, as I'm sure many beginners do or did, and I could rationalize trying to get a better tone with the amount of money a...

Changing speakers is expensive, but in the end, I think it's critical to getting the tone you want. I'd argue they matter much, much more than pickups.

Win win. Nice.

Is the camera that took the pictures from the same year the guitar was made?

Give me a SLO100 instead.

Stereo reply. I get it. Nice.

I put a PATB-1 in the bridge of my HSS Strat, and its versatility is amazing. If you’ve never tried a parallel axis pickup, you have to give it a shot.

CoC riffs all day. Come on now, Bob!

This is a perfect pickup acquisition. You're being forced to test it with your ears.

I need two volumes and two tones on an LP so I can switch from clean to mean just using the pickup selector. And for that? I'm out.
