I'll post pictures later, but I picked up a Pod XT Live the other day. So far it's fun to play around with, but it's going to require quite a bit more tweaking until it replaces the 4 or so stomp boxes that I usually haul back and forth to practice. edit: With picture!

Doesn't the 707 require some sort of fancy proprietary floorboard dealie to make it output real midi? edit: Are you getting the idea for the Ovation and the 707 from Chrisguitars.com? I only ask because I noticed that they were both on the front page of "new" items, and didn't see any other place in the universe where their paths would cross. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Apr 4, 2007 |

bisticles posted:That... is awesome. Thought I'd post a follow up. Here it is after a couple of coats of Krylon brown primer. I sprayed it and then let it bake on my charcoal grill in the back yard.  As for sound, I'm really digging it at low distortion levels just to add a little bit of dirt to the sound. Works really well for some Rolling Stones type stuff.

I finally got myself a Godin.     It's a really interesting guitar. The body is almost like an EVH Wolfgang but a hair thinner, and the neck is very thin compared to my Fenders. Action is super-low across the whole neck, and the bridge design is pretty unique. The pickups that it came with have a good bite, but backing off the volume knob brings it back into a cleaner territory without losing definition. edit: aaahhh it's insane with a bunch of overdrive. I really can't wait to try this out at full volume next week. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jun 20, 2007 |

Congratulations, that's a killer deal there. I really really like the look of the mother-of-pearl with white and gold. It's so... glitzy. You really need to get one of those really fancy 3" wide straps to go along with it that has all sorts of fringes and rhinestones all over it to pull the whole thing off. The BD-2 and TU-2 are great pedals, too. You'd be really lucky to find them used for less than $120 together.

And here I thought I was over my G.A.S. Sorry for the lousy picture. My Rivera amp poo poo the bed, so I'm using an old Fender Stage 112 in the meantime. Thought I could use some foot candy to make it a little more interesting. It's everything I had hoped for.

Col.Kiwi posted:poo poo, I didn't think I'd see the day you'd buy two tube amps one after another. That's a stupidly great deal on that head though, sounds nice from the description and I love Peavey heads - have a Valveking myself. How well does the valveking do at practice volumes? I ask because I'm in the market for a new amp, and the valveking looks cool, but I'm wondering if a 100 watt amp is going to be way too loud. Obviously, I'll try anything out before buying, but just curious if you have any sort of person review/experience to share.

Did some trading and ended up with this: It's 100 watts (with 50 and 25 watt modes) and sounds delightful. From what I can see, it's somewhere between an 84 and an 87. It's got four 6L6C's for the poweramp and 3 12ax7s before that. Also, heavy like the whale. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Feb 12, 2008 |

 I made a few trades and ended up with a Peavey Classic 30 (and something else very nice that I'll post tomorrow). Came with the footswitch and cover, and is in absolutely perfect shape. I'm really digging the tone, and am dying to try it out at band volumes.

I'm assuming a few choice drops with the magnets being very cold. It was packaged really well, and there's no way that anything could have directly hit the magnets, so something epic must've happened along the way, although I don't see any other damage. I talked with the guy who sent it to me (it's used) and trust him that it was ok when he sent it out, so I'll probably have to eat the cost myself. They were Hellatone 60s, which I was really looking forward to hearing, too. edit: vvvv I'm gonna talk to him and see what he wants to do. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 12, 2008 |

The gods of Craigslist are smiling down on me lately. I've had it in the back of my mind lately that it'd be nice to own an archtop, but I didn't think I'd be buying one so soon. It's a 2001 Epiphone Sheraton II in Natural Honey with a Gibson '57 Classic in the bridge and case. It feels really nice, and I'm actually enjoying the stock neck pickup, so I think that's going to stay in. Definitely want to put some straplocks on it soon, though. It sounds brilliant through the Classic 30.

Nosir posted:As much as Sheratons are nice, i have a bad association with them due to this awful girl that was in one of my guitar classes in high school (haha, high school guitar classes). She always thought she was some gift from god to the music community because her dad had a home studio in their basement, so somehow that made her an amazing guitarist automatically, even though she sucked. Her dad gave her one of those guitars after she had only been playing for about six months. It always bothers me when brand new players get really nice guitars and suddenly think they are fantastic beacause of it. She would play something, then look at me as if she wanted me to bow down and worship the ground she walked upon, ok lady, sure thing. Argh, i hate lovely guitarists that think they are the best thing since sliced bread! I've felt the same way about '67 fastback Mustangs ever since a classmate in high school got one as a seventeenth birthday present, along with a lifetime pass to the local carwash so she could show up every morning with the shiniest car in the lot.

It's a MiM, but comes with noiseless active pickups, and a 12db boost. With that boost it's got the most balls I've ever heard in a strat with singles. That looks awesome. Love the color, and I bet it sounds like a beast.

Decided to stir the pot a little bit with some new pedals. This is the MXR MC-402, which is just like the MC-401 except that it's got an Overdrive section added. The boost is wonderful. It's just what I needed to push through the mix a little bit for solos without switching to distortion/od. The OD side is very meh. I'm not sure what kind of sound they were going for, but it's very unnatural. I'm gonna play with it for a while and see if I can make it work somewhere.  M.I. Audio Crunchbox. Wheeee!!! A very lively distortion pedal that's just got gobs and gobs of sound. I'm still experimenting with settings, but I like what I've got so far. It stacks up nicely with the OCD.

ZombiePeanut posted:Also, something I've always wondered... how exactly do you change the pickups/wiring in an archtop? There never seems to be any kind of control cavity. Like Col.Kiwi said, it sucks. Someone on another forum mentioned using rubber tubing (like the kind you'd use in an aquarium) instead of string or wire so that you can pull it right back up through the original hole when you're done soldering.

Col.Kiwi posted:Man, that guy took everything out through the F-hole. I have no idea what posesses people to do that, it seems to me like it'd be way more of a pain in the rear end than taking it out through the pickup cavity. Maybe the f holes are bigger on the guitars people are doing this on, but I'm sure I'd have broken a solder joint if I tried to cram everything through the f hole in my Dot. On my Sheraton II, that's the only way to get everything out. The pickups are mounted in a solid section in the middle of the body and the leads go through a hole into the lower half.

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:Guys, I'm in need of a good booster pedal. I don't really want an EQ pedal because I'm happy with my sound, I just needed it boosted for certain lead work. I'm currently using a Maxon OD9 tubescreamer as my booster, on top of my Jekyll & Hyde overdrive. It's not too effective as a booster though (and I generally leave them both on as I LOVE what the OD9 adds. I just recently picked up an MXR MC-402, which is a boost and od in one pedal. The OD is kinda lame, but the boost is exactly what I wanted; something I can step on to push myself through the mix a little bit for soloing. It's got a clean volume boost that doesn't make it sound trebely or bassy... just a nice clean boost. You can get the boost by itself in a smaller pedal in the MC-401. Just another option to consider .

mono posted:From what I understand a wah usually works best before any other pedals. Correct me if I'm wrong, ML. People will put it before or after their dist/od depending on if they want a wah'd fuzz or a fuzz'd wah. After a few minutes of playing both ways, you'll see the difference... it's not subtle. Most people stick it first, but you should always be experimenting. I reckon someone could fashion up a "before/after" box with a few bits from pedal parts plus if they had a need to switch modes on the fly. May be an interesting project.
