I have two strats and I have always had a hard time getting that perfect HSS pickup choice. One of my Strats has 2 texas specials and a fender Pearly Gates plus. I dig the sound of this a lot, but I want something that is noiseless in all possitions. My other strat has a set of Fender Vintage...

I want to throw a single sized humbucker in the neck of my strat. I am really going between these two pickups and was just wondering if anyone can give me a description of the difference. I am borrowing a strat with the cool rails and it is nice, but I am wondering if the Lil 59 may be a bit...

I have a sort of "complex" set up for an ammature. I want my stuff to sound good, and I want it easy to use, the down side is that is is a little bulky. My new issue is that it is also noisy as well. My amp head is a Peavey XXX (not the quietest of amps I have ever played), when plugged in by...

I need a better power supply, my pedal loop is just getting too noisy and it is because I am using a onespot to power all my stuff. I am looking at getting something that has isolated grounds for each pedal and the biggest two out there are the DC Brick and the Voodoo Lab pedal power. Every...

I am wanting to get a new pedal and I am really torn between these to units. Every soundclip of the OCD sounds great. Very touch sensitive and has a great range of tone. I owned a stock BD2 years ago, and it was a great pedal too. I have heard that the Keeley mod is WAY smoother and even...

I got a JMP1 on Feebay a couple weeks ago and it had a dead battery. I repaced it and it worked just fine. It has been about a month and a half and it is dead again!?!? I have it in a rack and ran a 1/4 cable with an angled jack so that I could keep it plugged in all the time. Would that...

A quick question for you guys, my JMP 1 should be arriving tomorrow. When I plug in my Midi mate, what do I plug it into first. The JMP1 or the G MAJOR? Or does it really make a difference?

I am getting a Marhall JMP 1 preamp that need a new battery, I would like to get it before the JMP 1 arrives, so I can rack it up quickly. Does anyone have any idea what kind of battery this hing takes?? Thanks in advance! RYAN

I am ordering my Avatar vintage style 2x12 this weekend and I am just curious which speakers I should use. I am partial to the vintage 30's, but I am wondering if I should choose an alternate for one of the speakers and give it a slightly different sound?? I play a Peavey XXX and play very...

I have been giving some thought to down grading my speaker cabinet. I currently use a fullsize 4x12 and it is ungodly heavey and doesn't fit very well in the vehicle. For most of the gigs we play I use in ear monitors and don't need too much stage volume. I love the 'umf' that a 4x12 gives me...

I think I have everything I need now... What do I do now?? LOL I just finished my new rig set up and I am totally in love with both the sound and ease of use!! Now I am still using a cheep Crate4x12 with celestions, but I am not in a huge hurry to upgrade the cabinet seeing the beating that...

I finally got everything the way want it now! I need to take some better close ups of the pedalboard tomorrow. I just got the PEDALSNAKE on Friday and WOW, that makes this thing SO easy to set up and tear down. I play a lot of shows and need it to sound great yet be able to be set up and tear...

OMG! I have started several threads trying to isolate the nasty hum that my amps have had. I have tried replacing out every cable in the loop, retubing my amp, selling my amp to get a different one and the whole time it was my stupid Line 6 Tone Core pedal! The guy at Guitar center must have...

I am so incredibly p_ssed off right now... I own two of the full size Ernie Ball Volume pedalsand one of the teflon straps broke. I saw on the EB website that they sell a replacement. First of all the charged me $4 for the part and $8 for the shipping!! WTF?!?!? They sent these instructions...

Just out of curiousity, what does it sound like when a transformer goes bad??? Do the lights come on, tubes glow, and the second you flip the STANDBY switch on, it starts humming LOUD! Then it gets louder and louder, as it starts vibrating.... Why do I ask? Oh just wondering becasue that...
