For the benefit of someone who doesn't know much about the use of the 'effects loop', what are some cool things you can do with it? What pedals do what when placed in the loop? What pedals are no good at all in the loop? Etc. Discuss...

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I was wondering if there are power amps that you can buy and somehow hook up to an existing amp. I bought a Laney combo amp awhile ago when i didn't know much about gear at all, just knew tubes were better than solid state. So I got this laney with a...

I believe it is a 1/8 plug, but does it take a positive or negative center one? I need to know because of a multi-adaptor I just purchased that has the 1/8 but it is a positive center.

Just wondering if there are some good headphones out there specifically for guitar amps. I have a $100 set that are big dj style sony ones, great quality for music but sound fairly bad when plugged into my amp. Is this a no-win situation, besides the sound muffling?

I have a Les Paul Studio with a '59 in the neck and a Custom in the bridge. I had them installed by a tech, but i have since become very dissapointed with the store and my confidence in their workmanship is flagging due to the fact that they set my guitar up crappy and i had to have it redone. I...

Been in the market for a cheap back-up guitar to use for a couple drop-d songs i have. Seeing this tele thread of Jolly's has given me a brainstorm that could be totally retarded, i don't know. Maybe i could get this H-S squire tele and put some heavy duncans in it. It would make more sense than...

Does anyone know about the new 60th anniversary(diamond) limited edition p-bass that fender has out now? My buddy went and bought one and got a crazy deal on it and for whatever reason my skeptical sense is tingling. It has a diamond in the headstock and all kinds of stuff. Does anyone have any...

It's on the way!!:banana: I can't frigging wait. Now i just have to wait til dec 21st for my girlfriend to give it to me.

There can be only one. What i'm suggesting here is a "what is the best octave pedal and why" comparison type of thread. I haven't played one in my life, but it's prob the next pedal im gonna get and as such im looking at killing 2 birds with one stone by getting a fuzz/octave. From clips i've...

Can anybody explain to me how this is used, what it is? I read something about using a keeley delay in the loop and having only the repeats carry a certain sound effect (im assuming this is also in the loop). If i put my phaser in the loop would that basically just be like running phaser after...

Ok I know the diff between OD and distortion, but what does it take to make something a "fuzz" instead of an OD? Is a fuzz like a very tame OD that lets more of the true note out or is it the reverse? I'm lost here.

I am thinking about my ideal rig, and i am really liking the idea of operating an orange halfstack in stereo with a mesa boogie halfstack. Since you seem to have experience in both these amps, what would you suggest? I'm not too familiar with either amp, but from recordings ive heard and my own...

:dance: :banana: :dance: :banana: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Just installed the JJ ECC83-S that I got from the tubestore today. I have been fretting over my 2x12 120 watt laney for awhile now. Got it for 700 bucks during a period where i decided i had been blowing my money on 'fun' for too...

I have a laney combo with 2x12 invader speakers. Im in the middle of trying to solve a tone issue (too ear piercing at high volumes), and i'm wondering if these are characteristicly high or if i am dealing with hurtin speakers. I can't find any info on the net about them so if anybody has any...

Can you guys explain to me what this is exactly? What's so special about this thing? I hear no negative talk about it, and i'm considering getting one to try out. How much is it and where can you get 'em? How come it can't find anyting about it on the main duncan site?
