Ok, so I just got a new Fender American Strat (all white, maple neck, looks great, plays like a dream). The only issue is, i'm always playing through headphones, or basically using a keyboard amp sort of like a PA when playing live. I would really like a fender amp like a deluxe reverb or...

alright, i want to do some really basic simple recording onto my computer. is it possible to send the output from my Boss GT-3 to that little microphone input on the back of my computer? (using a little connector to change 1/4" to mini of course)? any other suggestions? i want to keep it really...

alright, so ive had this american standard strat for a few weeks now. been loving it, but when i went to use the tone dial the other day it seemed to not do anything. there was no difference between 10 and 1. what would cause this, and what are some solutions? ill probably be taking it into the...

hey guys, my band just finished our second demo, check out some clips on www.purevolume.com/thirdstone and let me know what you think. the guitar riffing is somewhat metal, but the rest isnt. enjoy, and if you have questions on how we went about recording and what not, ask away.

i just switched strings to some really heavy gauge ones. these are great for when im tunning down a full step and putting my low E down to a C, however, when i have it in standard, there seems to be so much tension on these that theyre pulling super hard on my bridge, pulling it right up as far...

I've just started listening to this band again recently, since I completely forgot about them for years. I realized they have some decent songs like 'Slave' and 'Freak'. I love the chunky guitar tones on these songs, can anyone help me out with how to achieve big chunky guitar sounds like this...

since boxing day is coming up tomorrow i'm considering going down to my local music store and checking out the deal they've got. I'm interested in getting a fuzz pedal and i've been looking at the big muff pi. I haven't had the chance to play it yet but i hear for what you pay you get a pretty...

I've been looking around at amps for a little while, I want something thats really no more than $1000 canadian. what do you guys think of the fender deluxe and other fender amps like the twin reverb? are these things in my price range? I'm looking for an all tube amp with really nice cleans and...

Right now I'm looking around at amps which I'm considering buying since i need one badly. I definitely want a tube amp, and I've been thinking fender is the way to go. If I do so, what would you guys recommend as a good distortion pedal for when I'm wanting to get some nice distortion from a...

i was fixing up a screw on my guitar today that fell out and as i was getting ready to put the strings back on i decided to take off the truss rod cover and take a look-sie, just out of curiosity. as i did so, the nut fell right off , i tried holding it down and screwing the truss rod cover back...

my friend has a fairly old 60-watt peavey tube amp which isn't that bad, although it's difficult to get any really good distortion out of it. does anyone have any suggestions in terms of a good pedal to use for when my friend (or me when im at his house) would use to get some heavy distortion...

I've been thinking of buying an amp lately and it was suggested to me to just buy a cabinet and then run my GT3 pedal through that. I'll want to buy a head for the cabinet eventually, possibly even a rack-mount. but what do you guys/girls think of the idea of just getting a cabinet for now? i...

I'm considering replacing the bridge on my guitar now since it doesn't hold it's tuning very well and the whammy bar doesn't even work with it because it just throws the whole thing out of tune. (also a nice gold bridge would look pretty sick). So I'm looking for suggestions on how to choose...

I'm considering getting some gold humbucker covers for my guitar. I was just wondering what kind of change it makes to the sound and how do I know if a certain cover will fit my guitar? Can I just get any cover or do i need to measure something and be sure of it? thanks

I have the boss BD-2 blues driver and have read around on the internet about modifying it. Does anyone know a site that has free instructions and diagrams posted about how to modify it to improve the sound u can get from it? thanks, it would be greatly appreciated -nathan
