    Ohm setting on amp when using external cab.

    I'm currently playing with a Peavey Valveking 212 combo amp and I am going to hook up a Mesa standard 4x12 cab to the Valveking. When I do this I am going to disconnect the Peavey's speakers and just run it through the cab. The 4x12 cab is listed as 8ohm's. Where should I set the ohm's on the...

    Where to place MXR Carbon Copy.

    I just picked up an MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay and I'm wondering if I should hook it up to the front of the amp or through my effects loop. I used to run a Boss DD-3 through the effects loop but I have heard that Analog delays should be run through the front of the amp. Or does it even really...

    Wire gauge, Solder type, and Active pots.

    I'm getting a little more ambitious these days with my guitar wiring projects. Mainly inspired by past trial and error. I'd like to hear what gauge of wire you guys like when wiring up the control cavity in your favorite axe. What type of solder do you use? I'm thinking something with the rosin...

    Got some new pedals for the board.

    How's everyone doing out there? I haven't been on the forums in quite a while. Lets get to it. I just picked up a new BOSS GE-7 Equalizer and a BOSS RV-5 Digital Reverb. I'm looking for some suggestions on how to incorporate the pedals into my board. Currently I run Guitar -> TU-2 Tuner -> Vox...

    What size wire?

    What size or gauge wire should I use when wiring up my guitar from scratch? And do you guys have any tips for getting solder to stick to the back of a new pot?

    Another odd-ball wiring setup.

    I want to know if this is possible, and has anyone ever done it? Hum cancelling single coil in the neck position. Humbucker in the bridge position. Vol / Vol / Tone Slotted 3 way strat style switch. Make the bridge volume a push-pull to split the coil.

    I think my EMG's are deffective.

    Simply put, I get a lot of buzz and hum from my guitar when playing any amp in any place. I'm currently running an 81 in the bridge and an SA in the neck. I've also wired up the 18 volt mod. And the hum and noise was there before I wired up 18. Nothing is grounded either because EMG's aren't...

    Looking to eliminate ground loop.

    I was on here not too long ago and I read a great post about how someone was picking up hum and buzz when running two amps at the same time. Many said it was a ground loop. I've been going through the same thing lately. In one of the replies I recall reading about a device that eliminated the...

    How do I wire an EMG 18 volt mod?

    I've done my research and I've decided that I want to run my EMG pickups on 18 volts. I'm not that great with wiring yet, and I wanted to know if anyone could explain in detail how to wire up the mod. A description for "in series" and "in parallel" would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

    Sounding off about Floyd Rose Copies.

    I know that there have been several threads about Floyds and Kahlers on here. In fact I originally was going to reply to the most recent one. But then my reply kept growing and I decided to start a new thread. So no need to point out the obvious if any, that what I'm about to write has already...

    Peavey Valve King 212 Combo

    Let me start off by saying thanks to everyone for bashing the Marshall MG line :fing25: . What was I thinking? :smack: I'll steer clear of those. So I made it over to the local music shop today to check out guitar amps. I looked at new and used within my $600.00 price range. I came across a...

    Looking for feedback on Marshall MG100HDFX

    I am currently gigging with a metal band and my 25 watt practice amp is going to get the job done. I figure my budget is capped around $600.00. The Marshall MG100HDFX head/cab combo is looking awfully attractive. I just need a good sound and to be heard at practice. A good buddy of mine had the...

    Looking for that perfect Pedal Board

    Since I began playing guitar I have used various stomp boxes. But now I find myself wanting one unit to handle my needs as opposed to hauling 19 pedals to a gig. I figure some sort of multi-effect pedal board will do the job. There sure are a lot out there to choose from. I need help finding...
