    Boss ES8 Help

    I bought the Boss Es8, Boss DD200 and Strymon Mobius all in the last few weeks. I know I’m way over my head in MIDI so tonight I decided to go through Manual mode to avoid Midi although. I have a Mesa JP2C. I have the Boss DD200 in the fx loop and I’m only using 2 fx pedals actually through the...

    Pickups for my LP custom ? BK VHII perhaps ?

    So I have an LP standard with Suhr Aldrich pups in it. My local guitar tech recently installed coil taps and the guitar is so versatile now that I can’t put it down. I also have a 2002 57 RI LP Custom Black Beauty. I know I want coil taps in it now also. It has stocks pups in it. I was...

    New Amp Day !!! Woot Woot !!!

    My Mesa Boogie JP2C arrived late last night. I will post pics shortly. The amp is the real deal. I owned a Dual Rec for 8 years but outgrew the sound. I've missed having a Mesa though. The maintenance free nature of these amps is so convenient. The tones are simply fantastic. I have never played...

    What's your amp and guitar dream rig ?

    I am going to retire in August ( Im disabled) and I decided to buy myself my dream rig with some paid vacation hours I have coming from my old job. I've been eyeballing the Mesa Boogie JP2C and the Friedman BE. I've kicked the Fractal idea about. So amp wise I have some ideas but guitar wise...

    1989 USA Fender YJM strat.... Is this legit ?

    Im dying to get my hands on a scalloped fingerboard. I have this pristine 89 YJM strat on hold until Monday and I dont know what to think. I love the red with rosewood board. I can afford a new version or go after any version out there. This one is $1200. I wonder if this guitar looks legit and...

    Scalloped necks : Blackmore strat or Malmsteen strat ?

    I decided it was time to buy a proper strat. I played a Fender Elite in the SSS configuration and I loved the neck on it. I wanted a humbucker though so I tried a HSS one a few days later and the guitar did not speak to me. I went back and have visited that SSS Elite strat 4 times now and I love...

    What amp should I be checking out ??

    Ive decided I want to see what else is out there in amp land. I have a 5153 Stealth and the 50 watt 5153. I also have a Splawn Nitro which has me frustrated currently. I may or may not move the Splawn but I want to demo some amps for sure. I gig 80's hair metal. The 5153s cover my needs and then...

    Splawn SS1Dracula near done ! Now talk me out of a Carvin !

    First up is my Splawn SS1. Jason Oberly kindly painted my favorite comic book Tomb of Dracula on this. It had to be modified a bit to get about the hardware but I think its great. It will have a reverse headstock painted matching black with a rosewood fretboard. Should be done soon and I cant...

    Action too stiff, harmonics hard to hit……Splawn content

    My Splawn SS2 arrived last August. Once the honeymoon ended….it ended. I could not stop breaking strings on the SS2 and eventually had to put graph tech saddles on it. That put an end to the string breaks but I altogether stopped using the guitar at live shows around November. I gig every...

    What pickup for my Superstrat ?

    I have a Splawn SS2 with a Seymour Duncan® Custom 5 Bridge Humbucker and I cant get down with it in this guitar. I have one in my Charvel MZ ( mahogany body ) and I really like but its just dull in the Splawn which has an Alder body. I have an Aldrich in one of my LPs which I like but not sure...

    Bootleg guitars...what do you think ?

    Jon Hill is a local builder. He's built guitars for Scott Hill ( skid row) and the bass player for Godsmack. Ive been needing another superstrat and the price on this is making is hard to pass up at less than a Charvel So Cal or San Dimas. Its nothing exciting in the way of superstrats but its...

    Gassing for an ESP MII. Thoughts ?

    Tried one out and fell in love with the neck. Not so thrilled with the noisy neck pickup. Can get a used one for 1k. Thinking of flipping my Peavey Wolfgang hardtail or even trading it in to get the esp. Thoughts ???

    New Splawn Day w/video clips !

    Some real crappy ipad video clips of my Splawn SS2 guitar. Im a big superstrat fan and the SS2 delivers in spades. All clips are bedroom volume through my Splawn Nitro . 0qh54JJ7Q-Q Clf5ErTCi9o OQggZGT1S94

    Majik Box Aldrich Rocket Fuel + 5150 III.......

    Did nothing for me. For a $289 pedal I was suffering from some bad buyers remorse. Did not want to return the pedal and be a d-bag so I just left it on my pedalboard next to my Analogman modded TS9......and used the TS9 instead. I was hoping to boost the blue channel of my 100 watter but I just...

    New Amp Day ! Splawn Quickrod with B+ Option

    **I posted this at HCAF also but that site has cancer so I thought I would repost here** This is my 4th Splawn. I still own three of them. I sold my 2009 Quickrod as I just could not jive with that amp. Well, this is round 2 with the QR. This is the low voltage B+ option that Scott has just...

    Egnater Armageddon

    Just purchased this bad boy on Saturday at my local GC. This is the best amp for shreddingtat I have ever encountered. Im struggling with the overall tone though. I am running it thru WGS v30s and it sounds good but I am wondering what other speakers work well with this. I rehearsed with the...

    2008 Splawn Nitro vs 2012 Splawn Nitro video content

    **posted on HCAF and Splawn forum also** Recorded both clips with a Gibson LP with Suhr Aldrich pups. Both clips are unboosted with no fx. Gain is at noon on both clips. I play a riff on OD1 and then repeat the riff on OD2. The videos are annotated so you know when I am in OD1 or OD2...
