Hey man! Jeez long time no chat. No probs, had an Epi Valve Jnr combo and that thing was great! Kinda sorry I got rid of it now. As for the Blackstar, the HT 5 has no break-up on the clean channel and pretty searing distortion on the drive channel - not much by way of a middle-ground there. I...

Hey guys, Have been out of the game for a little while and wondering how things stand with the small amp craze. I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on a good Valve head in the $500 range? I've been using a Blackstar HT 5 (average all-round but no break-up) and an Orange Micro Terro...

lol good on multi lik viktory peet is rong lol

lol lik good on multi I am in collage two!

So a chap I work with found out I was into guitar and asked me if I fancied a fuzz pedal. A couple of weeks later, I was landed with - my very own Rush-inspired guitar pedal! Man, some people are cool. Haven't had a chance to test it myself, but no matter how it sounds, I think this is pretty cool.

You said have said an Orange Micro Terror fucktard! :D

I've a memory boy - great pedal! Can't say I've noticed much of a hiss, though the analogue stuff does seem to have a louder noise floor than other delays I've used. It's possibly just my mind playing tricks given the overall output is that bit woolier.

I'm with Greg on the gold - I've had some nice stuff pit and tarnish after what seems like no time at all. Whatever the case, I'd go with bronze saddles.

Have been on the periphery of all things guitar for the past year or more but have been playing with more frequency of late. I've been predominately a Fender guy and thought I'd see what they're pushing these days, but their website is just confusing as fuck! Way too many models with way too...

Those prices are insane. I'm in the wrong country

That is absolutely amazing.

I've two Breedloves, a 6 and a 12 string. Kinda discovered them by accident but would certainly buy another if the need arose. Really fantastic, underrated guitars. My cedar Passport is the perfect balance between dark and bright, you can strum it, pick it, whatever. Also has a super-low action...

Moved the hook-up from the pickup base plate to the bridge plate but still nothing. This is really puzzling me! Wondering if it's a larger issue with the grounding on the pot. Hmmm.

So, a weird development on my side. I had some time today so I opened my mexi tele. There's a really nice brass slab under the bridge pickup, so I figured I'd run a jumper from that to the volume pot. As it happened, it already featured a solder blob - looks like a tiny wire is intentionally...

Looks awesome, nice three-saddle bridge. Great sounds too, let me know when the book is out and I'll pick up a copy.

That's great. I'll try this with my Mexi on wednesday and report back! How about some pics and a clip or two of your new Tele?

Awesome! Yes, touching a string reduced the buzz entirely. Thanks for the detailed approach here, I'm having trouble visualising the Tele cavity. I could nearly swear that I've seen a wire mount to a small, washer-like piece of metal distinct from the other pickup wirings. Do you think a wire...

Okay, the results of my little 'experiment' while they're fresh in my head! All guitars plugged straight into a Blackstar HT 5 head (clean channel) and two Vox cabinets. US Telecaster 1: Prominent buzz in all positions when no contact made with strings. Buzz loudest in neck position with...

Right, that's a very valid point. I was quite interested in whether this issue/phenomenon/whatever occurred on a Strat as well as a Tele, and I had the gain hiked up pretty far so as to easily determine any superfluous noise. Off hand, I don't think it was anything near as prominent as the buzz...
