    Mad Professor Deep Blue delay and Silver Spring reverb pedals

    Actually this is about the Deep Blue Delay mainly, but your are welcome to comment on the Silver Spring as well. These will go into the effects loop of a high-gain amp. Some online comments point to a slight volume drop when the Deep Blue is engaged, and there is no output control on the pedal...

    Victory Sheriff preamp pedal

    Anybody using/tried this? Have a good year people. Have a great year if you can tell me whether this is going to be much better than any SS pedals, or not.

    Laney 112 cabs

    More specifically the Ironheart 112 cabs... even more specifically : The GS112V with Celestion V-type, a special edition with some cosmetic appointments and better speaker, and I dunno what else, but I found one with a really great price tag and it looks cool. No info whether these are mdf or...

    Music Man Steve Morse: Pots and pickups

    I recently got a Floyded one of these, and I changed the pots to 500k. I am not fond of dark sounding guitars in general but this one was a good deal. I placed a Dimarzio AT-1 I had to the bridge because it was an unproblematic swap and also seemed like a suitably warm pickup. Now I am getting...

    Gibson Les Paul alternatives, throw in all you know please

    I had opened a tread on this before. Suffice it to say I don't seem satisfied with anything within my price range, which is like 1800 dollars icluding international shipping. To go over that I need to travel abroad and pick one guitar myself, actually started considering selling my car. If I...

    Gibson and Japanese Les Pauls

    Just gave away my Traditional, and want a little more 'lite' and modern Les Paul. I hope at some point to acquire a CS Gibson, but I will keep it modest for now, not least because I can't get anything above around 1800 dollars through customs here, I would need to go and pick one myself from...

    Floyd Rose 1000 upgrade: Gotoh?

    I am thinking Gotoh ge1996t, but I am not sure what problems I am going to face when installing the new bridge even after days of research. The FR 1000 doesn't hold tune after a week of heavy use, so it is not a whim, I need to get a good Floyd. The crux of the matter seems to be the mounting...

    Prs Se Torero anyone? need pickups (I hope I only need pickups)

    I picked up one of these used and left the orginal EMG's with the previous owner for a small discount (dumb move I now think), and had the pots and switch changed for passives. I was planning putting a JB in the bridge. I never had one, but thought it would be a good versatile highish output...

    EVH 5150 LBX and Vintage 30 question

    I recently got the Lbx and running it through an Orange PPC12 with a Vintage 30. Even slightly high volume is giving fizzy, breaking up, nasty sound. I cant say I broke in the speaker perfectly well, just loud playing face down in a closet for an hour or two, but I didnt have this issue with...

    Dirty Shirley Mini or Smallbox

    Gentlemen I want a Marshall type amp, and I intend to order a Friedman Dirty Shirley Mini head from abroad very soon. Dirty Shirley Mini is the highest priced amp I can get through the customs in my location, and I am near-certain I will like it better than any alternatives in the price range...

    High Voltage set for a Les Paul?

    Concerns: Designed for use on SGs, which are known to be more mid-heavy than Les Pauls, could it sound too bright or brittle ? It has less low-end than Pearly Gates according to site info. Would it be a one trick pony, only good for piercing solos and not much good for rhythm playing? At any...

    Tumnus overdrive or Klon ...

    I've been offered a Wampler Tumnus overdrive in exchange for my Weeboh JTM drive... I have a Weehbo JCM drive and have not been playing the JTM much since I got it. I feel it too bright, gritty, harsh, and lacks bottom end. The thing is I may well be completely wrong. I restarted guitar after...

    Pickup for an Gibson Les Paul HP

    I am looking for mainly a bridge pickup for a Gibson Les Paul Traditional 'High Performance' , I hope there are people here aquainted with the HP guitars of Gibson, because I think they are somewhat peculiar. I changed the stock Classic 57s first to Bare Knuckles Abraxas, then the BK Blackdogs...

    Damn strat bridge humbucker again...

    I recently got rid of a Suhr type wiring harness I had installed on a stratocaster, the sound was very screechy and unpleasant for some reason, tried three humbuckers with that one. I also tried disengaging the treble bleed circuit thinking it might be causing the problem, it helped but just a...
