Anyone else here make your own pedals? I started a while ago and I'm getting some really cool stuff. I just built an OCD v3, a SHO, a killer gated fuzz, vibrato and loads of others. They're all really nice and I've shocked myself at how easy it is and how many I've been able to make (and how...

So what was your first guitar set-up and what's your current? 1st: MIM strat into a borrowed champ, and a digital metalizer pedal! Current: '62 AVRI Jazzmaster or MIM strat (same one with p90s and lots of mods) into a Dr. Z maz 18, and lots of cool pedals. thanks...I'm just curious

Anyone else out there? I love jazzmasters. I never got into strats, I like teles, and I don't care for humbuckers much. To me jazzmasters are perfect. Any pictures...I'll post mine when I get a chance!

I got the 1975 with vintage 30's. Strange speaker choice, but it sounds really good! It was just gone over and recapped, retubed, and the speakers are brand new. The only issue is the vibrato clicks when it's turned on...not a big deal, I found out how to fix that too. In an A/B/C test with...

Ok, can we try again... Damn this place is getting crazy. I loved it at first and posted a ton and read a ton...now I just check in every now and then for the latest gossip and to get a bit of advice. Crazy. Anyway, I'm getting some new gear tonight and would like to mess around with it...

I'm selling some gear (for the first time ever...downsizing and upgrading). I really want a silver face 70s Twin. What years were the best and what are good prices. In LA there's a 75 for $600, and one the guy says is 70s for $800.

Hey, I've got a fender twin (the pro series 100w with two channels)...I've also got a 65 RI that I like a lot better. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for new speakers for the pro series that would make it sound more like the original twins? Thanks!

I think I'm going to get this: American Vintage '62 Jazzmaster® by Fender Electric Guitars Don't worry I'm not paying $2400 for it! Any thoughts, experiences? I played one today and it was awesome!

Ok, I haven't done any shopping or googling...I'm using the easy way and just coming straight to you guys. I don't play drums. I want to play drums. I need a kit. What's a good starter kit, what are the price ranges, what do I get if I step up from a beginner kit to something better? I...

Ok, I've used a GAP pre-73 for over a year now and loved it. It has a 1/4" and an XLR output. I've always used a balanced 1/4". I finally got around to making some extra short XLR cables and using that for the output so today I started using the XLR out. With my SM7B I had the output maxed...

Those who make their own cables, what bulk instrument cable do you like? I've used mogami W2524 and liked it a lot. I'm just looking for other options higher end (i.e. more expensive) and others of the same quality, just to try them out and see if there really is a difference. Thanks a lot...

Im trying to de ess without killing the highs. I've tried a side chained EQ and compressor. Frequency around 5200. Multiband comp with the band around 5000-6000. However, it seems there is something else happening in the higher frequencies, around 9200. Is that common or does de easing...

I mostly just use ReaComp and ReaEQ, but... I just discovered manual mode on ReaTune. Very nice, subtle. I'm not going to use it on everything, but some parts where there are harmonies just sound so much better when they are tuned perfectly. Plus manual mode doesn't make me sound like TI...

Ok, I"m messing around with Recorderman OH. I've usually used the Johns method, but I want to try something different. I have one directly above the snare about two stick lengths. I got a piece of string so attached to the kick beater and measured to the 1st OH mic, that way I can make sure...

I know the answer is "try it" and I probably will, but I wanted to see what you guys thought or if you'd tried this before I go into it blind... Use a Recorderman OH set up with an Omni NT5 SDC over the snare, and a Fathead Ribbon over the shoulder. I want to try this to free up the other...
