On my Strobostomp 2, I ended up removing the 1 meg antipop resistor as this was giving me some tone suck with it in the chain. Not sure if the original SS has this resistor as well, but if it does and you notice tone suck, then you know why. You can use a meter and if you measure 1megohms from...

I have a Peterson SS2 on my small board, a Turbo tuner ST300 mini on my big board, and a Peterson SS HD on my just for kicks board. for pure tuning, I like the Turbo tuner the best. For ergonomics I like the top jacks on the SS2. and I like the optional buffer on the SS HD

I have yet to meet a PRS owner that owns just one. When I see someone with a PRS, I ask how many PRS guitars they have, its always at least 2. Also many act like this around their PRS too.

It seems UMG is going after $ anyway they can. Just sad, but it shows you the weight of these former music industry giants.

Was just going to post a thread asking. I am using Reaper, but my daughter is wanting to get into recording So I am seeing that Audacity, or Abelton Lite might be the best option for her. She has a windows machine with a fosusrite scarlet USB audio interface. It was hard for me to tell if...

I hope you get well soon, broken rids are very painful. I went over the handle bars on my mountain bike 2 years ago and broke both bones in my left arm, got a plate on the ulna bone. Took some time, but I am playing guitar like the accident never happened. I had my seat too high.

Love the purple color, but the price gives me heartburn.

I like to run the output master about 6 and control the volume with the lead master. If you use the half power mode, plan to redial in the amp.

I am going to have to start looking for some 412 cabs that I don't need, but want, lol

The rhythm clip adds diodes. the lead channel adds LED clipping and another half of a 12AX7 as an additional gain stage.

I would just stick with what you have. Mark IVs are known to be biased really cold on the inner set of power tubes and less cold on the outer set. When I needed power tubes, I ended up replacing the bad one and put a couple of the those in the inner slots and put new ones in the outer slots. I...

For used on FB market place I either see really cheap 412 cabs like the lower series Marshall cabs or vintage cabs for crazy money. Very little in between and honestly not a ton of listings in my area for 412s at all.

I also like to mix it up, Seymour Duncan, Suhr, and TV Jones are some of my favorites though

I wish there were more kit builds options like from Mojotone on Vox amps like the AC4 and AC10 SRT. They have an AC15. I am following a thread on TGP on these new Vox amps and there is talk of the new AC10 HW having a transistor as one of the gain stages. I looked up the specs and sure enough...

My buddy brought over his 2013 Gibson Les Paul Gold top. He had got some Suhr Aldrich pickups from me and they weren't sounding right, very weak. After some testing, I found the stock pickups were wired wrong. They put the coils out of phase when in standard series mode. Both the bridge and the...
