    Black winter + DD HB102N trouble

    Hi again fellas. I'm just installed a Black Winter at the bridge of my buddy's Shechter Tempest Custom. It came with the Duncan Designed HB102 set. Anyway, I wired in the the BW and it works perfectly, but for whatever reason the neck pickup is now barely putting out any signal. The schecter...

    New cab, ohm question

    Hey fellas, I've just acquired a lovely Mojotone 410 loaded with celestion G10L-35 speakers (8 ohms each). I've deduced that it's wired in series/parallel and wired normally to one of the input jacks (I do believe, but please correct me if I'm wrong). However, there is a second jack that runs...

    NAD, take two: Mesa DC-5 edition

    Oh, she's a beauty. Mint condition; with a folder full of literature from 1996 and even the display tag that hung around the clean channel Gain knob when it was new. The Slave Out was modded at some point to be a solo boost a la running a cable in and out of the effects loop, essentially doing...

    New Amp Day! Thanks, UPS!

    Re: New Amp Day! Thanks, UPS! THE PLOT THICKENS! So in my continued hunt for a new amp, I'm on GC's used gear database and I see something quite peculiar. Exhibit A: Oh wow, another pro tube twin! Just like the one I had bought from Michigan and returned to Whitehall, here in PA. Hey, it's at...

    New Amp Day! Thanks, UPS!

    Man, I was so excited to get a great deal on a Fender Twin Amp (earlier version with 2 inputs/no tremolo) and begin my journey into classic, low-gain tones. I've been ampless for 2 months and couldn't wait to dial in that roots rock overdrive and strum some big chords. The songwriting...

    So I did the 498t/490r magnet swap

    I should kick myself in the nards for not doing it sooner. When I was younger and played nothing but high gain chug metal on the bridge pickup, I thought my SG was the most bad ass sounding guitar around. I grew up, so tastes changed as well as playing style and I realized the severe lack of...

    Strat HH w/import 5-way, from scratch

    Hey fellas, I'm rebuilding my trusty old strat into an HH setup featuring a matched set of 59's. I'm using an alpha wiring upgrade kit from guitar fetish, but I'm only using 1 volume and 1 tone, and the selector switch is one of those import 8 lug in a row deals, which I'm not at all familiar...

    498t/490r mag swap audio?

    Hey fellas, obviously my first post here but I've been lurking and researching for a while. This forum is fantastic and the wealth of knowledge is priceless. I have the 498t/490r pickup set in my 2004 SG Standard. When I was younger and played heavy gain mosh metal, the 498 did fine. But I'm...
