Here ya go Ace....my Minimalist Pedal Board

My Epi LP seems to always be slightly out of tune most every time I pick it up...my LED tuner always shows it just a bit low on the Low E, A & G in particular; it's a little annoying. Would changing the nut out from the stock one fix that? If so, any suggestions on a good replacement brand...

I know that a lot of people here have some impressive pedal collections, but if you are running 3-5 pedals, I found a great pedal board for you. The Mr. Power Pedal Board is pretty well made, it comes already set up with velcro and all the needed wire ties/clasps, it's light weight but durable...

Wife got me the JHS Series 3 Compressor for Christmas and I really like it. I wanted a compressor because I felt that with my gear, notes (especially higher notes) were decaying just a little sooner than I wanted so I was looking to increase sustain. This pedal does that perfectly, so mission...

I keep seeing conflicting info on Top Wrapping your strings on a LP vs Standard Wrapping. Some claim better sustain and tone by Top Wrapping; others claim more string tension and friction by Top Wrapping (meaning more tension needed to bend strings). Anyone experimented with both and have...

So I ended up finding a brand new JHS Muffuletta at the music store this weekend. Had made a post about it earlier after seeing it online and decided to just get it, and I'm glad that I did. If you are a Fuzz fan, I recommend it. It's very well constructed and solid; you're getting 5 Classic...

Currently running stock POTS on an Epiphone LP with WLH pickup set....sounds good. But would better quality POTS make a minimal difference or a huge difference? I am not playing shows; just playing at home through a 20W Orange Crush amp...if the difference is huge, I'd do it...if minimal, I...

This is a pretty cool, 6-in-1 fuzz pedal for the Fuzz fans in here:

Just for fun...what are your favorite strings? For Acoustic I really like the Elixer NanoWebs. For Electric, I have always liked the GHS TNT Boomers.

What is the name of this part that the springs hook on to?

This looks pretty awesome, and it ends up sounding good too (he starts the rebuild at 5:23 in the video if you want to fast forward to the good part): https://youtu.be/1xnn9MfnDFg

I am kicking my self for this one.... I bought an Ibanez Mostortion pedal from a friend when I was in 9th grade (in the early 90's) for $30. I had a solid state amp with built in distortion but was looking for something heavier than what the amp was putting out. Now on it's own, this pedal...

Do ya'll remember the DOD Grunge Pedal? I remember when it came out I was really looking forward to getting it. But few weeks after having it, the pedal just stopped working. I sent it back to Musician's Friend and they promptly sent me a new one. That one died just as quickly. I didn't...

Anyone here ever used the EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Small Signal Shredder Overdrive pedal? Saw some good reviews but wanted to hear people's personal experiences. I currently have a Boss Blues Driver OD but I don't care for it too much, and was looking for a good OD replacement...

For anyone going for a great 70s, classic rock sound, the Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbuckers are a great choice. They were designed just like the pickups Seymour Duncan worked on for Jimmy Paige in the 70s. Initially these were a limited release just in the UK but now they are a normal...
