While th Blues Jr. is a great amp, its not going to give him any of the metal tones without putting something in front of it. I would probably recomend a Peavey Valve King combo, as it is essentially a 3 channel amp w/ killer clean, nice OD and an over the top crunch setting. They seem to be a...

Dude....... yr OK! Im not an ear doctor(but I play one on tv!), but my understanding is that tinnitus is from PROLONGED exposure. So if you didnt blow your eardrum up in one shot, you dont have much to worry about.

Why does it have to be new? I have been pretty unimpressed w/ a lot of the newer studios and standards that I have played. Most of the reissues/historics seem to be pretty hot. I would just keep an eye on Craigslist and your ear to the street and see if ya cant find something w/ some nice...

Just found the link. http://www.danelectro.com/guitars1.htm Cool looking, but no stacked tone/vol. knobs? For shame!!!

Its a little high.... I think the last reissue MAPed at $149-$189? Theyre a blast because those lipstick PuPs dont really sound like anything else out there, they are also great to jam on unplugged as they are loud enough to enjoy without bothering the wifes Lifetime TV watching. :)

Just like the originals! Didnt know they were doing em again. If theyre cheap(as they should be!) I highly recommend getting one.

Good stuff! Mine has been modded like nuts where it gets growly and breaks up way earier than that. Nice recording. PS. Thats a Leonard Cohen tune not Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright one. Great tune, regardless.

I spend so much time running my signal through complicated pedal boards and rack gear, that I often lose the love of just playing. Last night I just plugged my MIM Tele w/ Twang Kings straight into my silverface Princeton Reverb. A little tremelo and lots of verb and Im in heaven. Spent all my...

Bought one of these 8 years ago when they came out...... hated it!!! Put it in a box for a few years, played with it about 6 months ago and totally dug it. Almost too dark on my LP, but kills with my Tele. Are these still in production?

I would expect nothing less from a guy called Metalhead! :)

Heres a great clip of Crackers Johnny Hickman playing his Franken-LP w/ a floating trem routed into it. Chk out the solo at 2:40 too. Pretty sweeeeet. https://youtube.com/watch?v=OjCbGSbSTFc Im guessing he must have a coil tap too, as it seems a bit to defined to be buckers. Might be wrong...

Don't forget he used that ratty old Danelectro on lots of stuff too.

Pretty sure Johnny Hickman from Cracker has an LP routed for a FR trem too.

Are you close to a CRT, TV neon sign? Does this happen everywhere or just in certain rooms?

80's MIJ!!!!

Here are some universal truths: Most music store employees are either musicians or guys that want a "cool" job. Most musicians and guys who want to be "cool" are dicks. Ergo Sum...... most music store employees are dicks! Seriously though, I worked in music retail for a long time, and...

I have used a Boss Bass Synth pedal from time to time. Its pretty random depending on the source tone, but I have found some insane tones coming out of the back end. Bottom line? There are no wrong answers when experimenting!

I agree about the Twang King. IMHO.... this is the best sounding(non boutique) neck PuP available for a Tele. As for losing the tone knob.... I never touched mine for years, but it has become my tone shaping tool of choice, and I cant imagine not having one on a Tele, as the 2 PuPs have such...

Not sure, but if not.... Im sure Behringer has one comin down the pipe! Seriously though, these things are a blast to mess around with. All of the tones are completely useless and over the top, and the drum machine/looper is primative, but you can entertain yourself for a long time on one of...
