    JB vs 59/Custom Hybrid vs Perpetual Burn

    Hi. I am kind of moving away from high gain, and I am wondering how the 59/Custom Hybrid and the Perpetual Burn comparento the JB, tonewise. I am looking for a medium output HB for my Korina PRS singlecut (Jazz in the neck) that still has power, oomph and clarity, but a bit more dymanic, and...

    Foxx Tone Machine vs Super Fuzz?

    Hello. I am looking for a nasty fuzz, and I am wondering which of theses two pedals (clones), should I get. Both are over the top, both have huge bass, and have octave overtones. As far as I am concerned, the Super Fuzz is the sound of Doom Metal bands like Electric Wizard, but in the YouTube...

    Question about Shin Ei FY-2 and FY-6

    Hi. Would any of these pedals/clones would get me a bit closer to the chainsaw sound of a cranked Boss HM-2?. I've read that the HM-2 was inspired by The FY-2 circuit. The FY-6 seems to share some of the FY-2's nastiness. I am not looking for an HM-2 clone, but its fuzz "cousin", if that makes...

    NPD: Italian Bender clone

    This Is a modified Italian Bender clone, aka the v828, which was basically a Mark 1.5 Made un Italy with a few different components. Like it's 2 transistor cousin, the Fuzz Face, It cleans up really well with the volume knob rolled back, but It has that characteristic Bender raspiness (the v828...

    TB 59b / Jazz neck yay or nay?

    I love the Jazz neck pup in my Korina PRS SE, but would like something different from the JB (great pup, but too much output and mids, very difficult to clean up a Fuzz Face with it). I love the sound of Gibson bridge humbuckers (490T, beautiful cleans, crunch and, with the right rig, even high...

    '59/Custom or Custom 5: which one has more "forgiving" treble frequencies?

    Hi. I'm wondering which of these models would be better suited for a PRS singlecut, and would cut through a mix without harsh treble frequencies. Thanks.

    Opinions on the Friedman Smallbox Pedal

    I'm intrigued by it. Has anyone in the forum played it?. How it compares to other Firedman pedals? Thanks.

    it arrived today :)

    This is a very nice pedal. It doesn't have as much sustain as a standard Little Big Muff, but it certainly has more gain on tap than a Green Russian style pedal. And, like a Green Russian, it will cut through a band mix better than a Little Big Muff. The tone bypass voicing is very well...

    I pulled the trigger on the Op Amp Big Muff reissue

    I already own a Green Russian Muff clone. It stacks very well with a Tubescreamer. I just wanted something very different this time around, and maybe, in the future, I'll buy a Triangle Muff reissue. It seems I'm becoming a Muff fan ...

    59/Custom 5 or Full Shred set for a Mahogany set neck guitar?

    Hi. I already own a JB/Jazz set in a Mahogany set neck guitar. For a second similar instrument, I'm looking for a lower output set with a different voice (a bit more relaxed in the mids and in the bass frequencies) that still remains clear, with great note separation though the gain spectrum...

    Speaker recommendation for a Champ style amp

    I would like to replace the Celestion Super 8 speaker in my Laney Cub 8 with something brighter and clearer in overdriven settings. The Jensen C8R seems a logical choice, but I would appreciate if you can share your experience with other 8 inch speakers. Thank you.

    Dimarzio Air Classics vs PAF 36th anniversary sets

    Hi. I´m interested in these sets for a 25 inch, Korina body and neck (no maple cap), rosewood fingerboard PRS SE Singlecut. Besides output and midrange emphasis, what are the main differences between these two sets (in terms of brightness/warmthm clarity, string separation, etc.)?. Which one...

    RAT pedal suggestions, please

    There are so many of them: the RAT2, the Whiteface RAT, the You Dirty RAT, the Turbo RAT, the Fat RAT, the Solo. I would love to have one and stack it with my TS9. ¿What are the main difference between these models?.

    NPD, sort of ...

    Following suggerstions in this forum, I bought a TS9 and stacked it with a Green Russian type Muff. I love the combination!. It sounds huge!. Sometimes is great to go back to basics.��
