I just got a Fulltone '69 pedal and I like it alot. Real smooth and organic. Problem is my Godlyke Power All won't power it with my other pedals. I was thinking of using a spare boss adapter with the Reverse Polarity (tip positive) Godlyke adapter. Will this work or will I fry my 69? I...

My Goldtone is sounding a bit less lively so I'm thinking of putting in new tubes. The manual says to use a matching pair of EL84's and two 12AX7's. The manual doesn't say anything about setting bias. I'm guessing that because it's class A, it dosn't need to be biased. Am I wrong? Anyone know...

A guy I know is offering me an Eric Clapton strat with a set of Lindy Fralin pickups for a good price. But the pickups have mixed 3 and 5 alnico magnets. I've heard that he makes good pickups, but what does it mean for tone to have mixed magnets?

Played a Peavey XXL half stack today and was very impressed with the Crunch and Higain channels. Very cool rock'n'roll set-up. I have to say it beats my Valvetonix AD-60 1x12 combo for pure rock'n power. Great for palm mutes. Easy to dial in and reminds me of playing a Marshall DSL-50. But it's...

Saw Wishbone Ash last night and the guitar player had two Bassman amps with a Les Paul and the tone was fantastic. He was also using a Plexitone pedal, a boss chorus, a fulltone clyde wah and something else I couldn't recognize. The other guitar player had a small Mesa Amp, probably a Mark IV...

Anybody using one of these for computer recording. I'm considering one of these or the Line6 toneport. I like the built in drum beats on the Blackbox, but I wasn't too impressed with their amp models. If I get the toneport what can I use to get drum tracks?

I recently aquired a Supro 16T from the 60's. It has an 8" speaker and a wicked tremelo. It's a bit noisy, and because it has the original plug, I tried the reverse the plug trick. Funny thing is it wouldn't power up when I turned the plug around. If I reversed it agian, it powered right up...

I have been hearing about the new AC30 Custom Classics for quite awhile now. I see they're finally available online. I can't wait to try one: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_id/129595/src=00631 They're going to have a whole line up to choose from, head or combo...

These seem like sweet guitars. The trem looks massive. Any thoughts on the them. I've noticed that the older ones have a three bolt neck and new ones have 4 bolts. Is either better? The stock pickups any good? My friend saw one for $650 used with locking spezels at a local shop, seems like a...

I want to put a new nut on one of my Yamaha electric guitars. It's a cheap guitar but I like it. And I messed up the nut by overfiling it. I know about repairs with bone and epoxy, but I'm thinking to just put a new nut on it. I got the part number from Yamaha but they don't stock it. They said...

I played this new little 5 watt amp from Dr Z again and that thing just kills for blues or classic rock. It's little but it's already loud at 9 o'clock on the volume. It's got an 8 inch Weber speaker. It breaks up right away but cleans up nicely when you roll the volume off on your guitar. It...

Well I bought a Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive pedal this weekend and I love it. Thank you to AESTUS for posting about them. I never would have considered one otherwise. In fact I've seen them at shops and thought the name was cool but didn't even try one because it's Digitech. I'm using it as a...

I've been thinking about getting one of these. Some descriptions mention that it's made from poplar wood. But I thought they were alder. Is there much difference between poplar and alder. I'm thinking the white one is sweet.

http://www.floydrose.com/redmodelk.html Tried one of the new Floyd Rose Guitars with the speedload strings this weekend and it is fantastic. It was a mahogony fender style body with great binding. The neck was a bit thin for my taste, but the sound and quality was great. The open triangle in...

I tried a Speedster Turbo Charger pedal yesterday and was impressed. I tried a bunch of pedals through a Bad Cat Mini Cat and it sounded the best to my ears for that amp. Not sure how it would sound on another amp. I'm starting to realize that some pedal like some amps and not others. It was the...
