nah, gotta go for the "new car smell" JB. The olfactory / aural interaction rolls off the high mids and tightens the low end in just the right way

I had one for a while. It was good, not great. It didn't quite capture the... "sonic expansion" of the rangemaster style treble boosters I've used, so I didn't like it as a way of boosting an amp that was already breaking up. I remember it working well for the metalzzz, as a way to tighten...

I love treble boosters! I'm a basement player these days - haven't had time to be in a band / play live in over a decade :( - but I do love a good rangemaster clone. I have a Fulltone and two (slightly different) Analogman Beano boosts I've never played one live... I'd imagine they're a noisy...

Just throwing this out there - since you have two other pots available for switching, etc., you could wire one of them (probably the neck tone control) to be a bass cut / treble cut directional tone control, or a simple push/pull bass cut in addition to being a standard tone control. This can be...

I'm quite partial to A3 over A2, particularly in the neck position. I agree with the prior sentiment that it lessens the bass and increases the treble a bit, which to my ears, evens the response across the board (this might be what you mean by a "wider range?"). I also think there's a little...

thank you all for your input the delay between when I think of a project and actually execute is far, far too long - I'll report back when I'm done

I'm a serial modder, and have lots of odd wiring / switching schemes, and I habitually magnet swap as part of my chasing tone. In the process of mag swapping, I have a few pups that I've mag swapped so many times that I think I've think I've made them microphonic. I've seen youtube vids of...

Some bridge PUPs I've tried that really thread the needle between modern and classic are the SD Perpetual Burn and the Dimarzio Air Norton (in the bridge, not the neck). I think they would absolutely fit the bill. I also think that if you did one in the bridge position of each guitar, they...

I have a burstbucker 3 and a 57 classic, each in the bridge position, with A8 magnets (I haven't updated my signature line in a long time, so those changes are not reflected there). I think it sounds great! Going from A5 to A8 increases your output, fills in the mids, and rolls back the highs...

Holy run on sentence, Batman! Glad you like your new sound. I've enjoyed SSL-5s as well.

Hey team! I'm a man who loves me some dirt, and don't play clean very often. I've the various tele bridge pups I've tried, I've always loved the SD quarter pounder the best, but I just couldn't handle the noise that comes with it. A friend of mini similarly loved the QP strat pup, but also...

I absolutely LOVE this guitar! It might actually be my new number 1! I bought this at a steal because the shop that had it, for whatever reason, made no efforts to get it into sellable condition. It has dings / scuffs / finish checking that are appropriate for a well-played, 16-year-old guitar...

yea, I've never been disappointed picking up my baby "black guard" With a minihum in the neck and a noiseless dimarzio in the bridge, she can even handle brutal gain without a problem

Hey team! I just got a great new toy, the dunlop 535QAR mini. It is ALMOST everything I've wanted in a wah, but it's buffered and it will mess with your fuzz / treble booster if you put it in the front of your signal path I've always loved the tones from Dunlop wahs (except maybe the basic...

Hey team I have an A2 Pro Bridge Humbucker that I swapped an extra thick A6 magnet into (A6 pro? :9:) The magnet is about 1.5x the thickness of a normal PAF bar magnet, the size often used for ceramic bar magnets $65 shipped
