    Suggestions for distortion pedal?

    Get a used peavey bravo. $250 used on ebay right now. Use the buy it now. It's well worth it, and with the gain in has you will need no distortion pedal. The price will just go up over the next few years. I've seen people asking $500 for them :eek:

    Whats the differences in tone/gain between differnt tubes

    Did they use to make groove tubes in the U.S.? The carvin I have has groove tubes in it, and that's what they shipped with back in 92'.

    Whats the differences in tone/gain between differnt tubes

    Old RCA's are nice and last a long time. I don't know why the older tubes sound better. Maybe they used better materials then.

    Replacing frets, DIY.

    Where I live, there is no place that does this for 100 miles in each direction, maybe 200 miles. So with gas prices, or even sending a neck through the mail, and the cost of a refretting would buy the tools, heck, maybe I might be good at it. I think it would be nice to learn. I will read...

    Replacing frets, DIY.

    This Kramer focus I have is actually a nice guitar with a real floyd rose on it. the frets are getting pretty low, and the do need replaced. I jack with everything else on the guitar, and I have a drill press. I think I saw a tool a stew mac that allows your drill press to install the frets...

    Posting guitar samples.

    I recorded them on my computer (which is not on the internet) and put them on c.d. Then I put the c.d. in the laptop (which is on the internet) and real player, and window's media player say they can't play them. What can I do? I suck with computer stuff by the way.

    I just bought this used carvin amp.

    It's loud on the 100 watt setting. Needs a 412 cab for that, and a Celestion Anniversary in the combo for the 25 watt setting. It gets just about any sound an amp could get. I have never had an amp with all these bells and whistles. The "slider" e.q. actually works, with just a little tweak...

    C-Neck vs. a U-Neck.

    I have small hands compared to most, and I hate flat radiused necks with wide nuts. I am thinking of getting a nice birdseye maple strat neck done with a small nut width, but with a U profile. anyone have anything like this?

    240 or 120 volts?

    I printed out the manual from the carvin site. I'll go through it. It was so old I never thought there would still be one. There are some scetchy schematics I found for free too. Hard to read though. I looked in the amp last night, and thought it's not a handwired board, it looks well put...

    Can the dB switch be in a wrong position? Does it correspond with the 25,50,100 watt switch? This amp is chock full of stuff.
