    Nobel's ODR-1

    Who's had experience with this pedal? It's only $100 and PGS did an excellent demo! (Link below!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep001Ok8b1I

    Boosting a tube amp. :P

    I own a Jet City 20 watt combo and I absolutely love it, especially at high volumes! :D I play a lot of lead and at times my amp's natural crunch fails to satisfy my selfish needs, so I use a Boss SD-1 to boost the signal! The level knob is at 1-2 o'clock, the tone knob is at like 11 o'clock...

    I fail as a luthier!

    My friend wanted me to restring his Squire Tele and so I did. The previous strings were 8s or 9s. I put on some 11s and the D string was the only that was buzzing. I'm pretty sure it was a nut problem because every time I tugged at the D string there would be a funny "DING" noise, it was very...

    Minor adjustments

    I made a little list here. -250K pots for the new strat. Tone knobs are totally DEAD! -Pickup cover for my LP. I got a set of 59s and the neck pickup is too 'fat'. Went to Guitar Center yesterday and they only had chrome covers. Thinking about going to Ebay for the cover(s). -New nuts on both...

    Tuning problems with the new Fender

    I LOVE my new guitar, but tuning it is a pain! I try to tune it 1/2 step down, I start with the low E and end with the high E. I hit the low E again just to make sure it's in E flat and the tuner's telling me I got it in E. Could it be a problem with the bridge? One more thing, the whammy bar...

    Tuning issues

    The high E string goes outta tune constantly. Sometimes the other strings do too, but the high E is the one I'm having the most trouble with. The action on my Epiphone LP is not set too high. I've never had much trouble with my guitar so I don't know what the issue is... Help?

    Cheap strats vs Expensive strats

    My birthday is coming up and mom's giving me $350. Should I buy this FSR Standard? http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-FSR-Standard-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar-H64303-i1559901.gc or should I save up for a 'real' strat?

    Tube life and good tones

    Okay, so I am no expert. I got my Jet City 20 watt combo 2-3 weeks ago and so far so good. Whenever I turn it on, I leave it on standby for 5-15 minutes. I understand this prolongs tube life but does it have an affect on the overall tone of the amplifier? Just curious!

    Will it be loud enough?

    So I bought the VT30 two weeks ago and I got bored quickly. So today I returned it and played through the JCA20 Amp head and cab. The crunch was just orgasmic and organic, not to mention versatile. A big thank you to all the people on the forum who suggested this amazing amp to me. (I got the...

    Am I in need of a new amp?

    So I posted a thread 1-2 weeks ago about my Guitar Club situation. Problem solved, but I need to obtain a versatile tone that will allow me to play SRV, Heart Barracuda and Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll. I'm also playing the lead to Wanted Dead or Alive and Don't Stop Believing. I was practicing...

    Acoustic/Electric amplifier

    Hey you guys my friend Austin is looking for a new amp. He has an $300-400 Ovation acoustic and a crappy electric guitar. He wants an amp that will allow him to play on both his acoustic and electric guitar. He's a very simple guy. He likes classic rock, and he loves rock from the 90's (I don't...

    Custom 5 vs the 59

    Ok so a lot of you have recommended the 59/C5 PU combo on my LP. Shortly after this dilemma, i stumbled onto the A2P/59 combo. I was very impressed. Although I have not listened to a decent demo of the C5, I told myself that i would go with the A2P/59 combo. Now I want your opinions.... Who can...

    Line 6 amps

    I never fully understood why people avoid these amps. I happen to have one and I can get some decent tones out of it.

    Boss pedals

    I have read that most of em have buffered bypass and that an excess amount of buffered bypass pedals is bad for your tone. Is this true?

    Granger M100 Superplexi

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9yUUZlszAU It's $1600. It sounds kickass. But is it like Marshall vs. Bugera/Behringer? U know, it might sound great but it will eff up on you in 3 months? Cause if it ain't. This is too good to be true!
