when i built my Tele, i used 250k pots for the Lace pup in the bridge, and 500K for the burstbucker in the neck. the volume difference is wayyy too drastic for me when i switch from neck to neck+bridge or just bridge. this was all done on a recommendation from the company. should i use the same...

I just bought a Dr. Z, so i need the loot to fund my membership to the "Boutique Amp Club" haha... Fender Twin Amp 100/60 watt amp (can be made a 60/15 watt by pulling two middle power tubes) amazing Fender clean, surprisingly amazing crunch channel. bright switch, and gain boost on 1st channel...

well, i pulled the trigger. got a great deal. and i actually went with the Super Z, which is the MAZ 38 NR but with 3x10 instead of 2x12. i think i want the tighter low end. anyone have any comments on this? anyone diggin playing 3,4x10's? my bud plays a reverend 4x10 and his tone is sick. ill...

hey all... my band is in the process of writing some new songs that have a complete sequenced arangement in the background (aka, a 'backing track', thanks to Ashley Simpson) I have taken the reigns to make this happen, and my drummer has composed the arrangment. i am trying to take the best...

hello again, ive used 2 amp setups in the past...and personally, if you have the real estate on stage, i find this the only way to go. those days are long in the past, and im contemplating doing it again in my "Greenwood" setup of current days. i currently have a Fender Twin modded with a...

on the surface, this may sound like a no brainer...but the more you think about it, its not as easy to make a good response. the reason i ask is because i am in the process of hunting down a sweet boutique amp. but my guitar arsenal consists of a mexican tele and a custom built deluxe (which is...

does anyone on here own a Dr. Z? i am hearing nothing but good things, and im ready to step it up to Boutique Land. This is a hot topic, that is: the boutique vs. non-boutique argument. many people think you could make a Peavey sound like a matchless with the right tubes and bias. i dont...

anyone have one? this pedal sounds sick. $400 beans. yikes...

I just read about this dandy sounding piece of equipment from Muse Research. its essentially a rack gear that acts like a computer to take the load off your host machine when running RTAs and VSTs. Does anyone know more about this thing? does this finally mean i can run more than 3 DVERBs on...

hey all, ive been looking into these, mainly cos they look sweet and the price is sweeter. i figured they were junk. then Music Tech magazine did a review on them and said they were pretty decent. anyone have any experience with Phonic gear, mainly their pres? there's one at the local sam ash...

I think these things are freakin sweet. they look like a kindergardener painted them, but as an effects afficionado as i would like to think i am on occasion, these are the most innovative pedals ive seen around in perhaps ever. anyone have any? i am diggin that tremolo with the plate on it. I...

hey all! i have read many articles on this, and i am still a bit bewildered. In my setup, i have some drums mics running into a digimax lt, then lightpiped to the 002 rack. i run a chain from the LT into a sCOM compressor for kick, snare, and toms. the settings for this i have tweaked and...
