I suspect if you replace the EL34's with 6L6's and change the pre amp tubes to what the person listed previously you will be closer to your goal of another Fender. Heck, get another Fender.

to answer the thread...I agree with skill as the numero uno answer. I play the chords in a loop until I get it right and sometimes lasts for an entire practice sitting. speaking for the rockers, GHS Boomers new out of the package first playing are the gold standard. I put a new set on...

I have to get tired of whatever is occupying my desire. So, if I am interested in writing a new fuzzed out heavy riff with a cool lead trick I just discovered I must write it until I get stuck. Then after a 10 minutes of being frustrated at stuckedness I lose interest and I will get to scales.

Recently, at Plasterini guitars in Arlington, TX, I played two of the les paul double cut models (MTQ) one in amber and one in sunburst. I was seriously impressed with the tone of'm. There was a difference in tone between the two. The sunburst weighed noticeably more and had more of a Les...

PA speakers are designed to accurately reproduce a sound. Bass speakers are also typically designed to accurately reproduce sound. EV speakers are known for handling both of these applications well. Guitar speakers are designed to sound good with guitar amps, and do not typically reproduce sound...

the faster the world uses up fossil fuels the sooner we can get past it. so, yes please, drink up. everyone purchace a Hummer and idle in traffic for hours. I know this is a rather negative view however I do not see Bush/Cheney/Halliburton/Exxon doing anything to improve the overall situation.

the iso cabinet is a great idea for you. you can build one yourself, not really all that hard, it will allow you to record your amp full blast, your (advised) dependency on earplugs will be lessened, etc. You may not love Ed Van Halen but he (reportedly) got his signature overdriven sound by...

E, you should find some place you can turn your amp up all the way. A practice studio, friend's garage, anywhere. If you like black metal and have a F-50 Mesa volume is your friend. There is nothing like the feeling of your amps opened wide and roaring. Except your amps opened wide and...

There is a noticeable difference in the sound. A great example of a hollow body Gretch is Brian Setzer and The Reverend Horton Heat. Someone else gets to list a recognizeable semi hollow. oh I know, BB King.

If, and only if, a SG is what will cure your fever than a Gibby or an Epi is all that will do the job. Well, there are the two English custom builders, can't remember their names right off...they both are connected with Tony Iommi, however their super righteous SG's are well over 2 thousand...

You have a cool thing going on with that 1 12" set up. For the price of one 12" speaker you can try out any speaker instead of having to load a 4x12 cab like a lot of us. I've been hearing some cool stuff about the Eminence Man-O-War and Govenors. I personally like the Weber approach to...

Build Your Own Clone is a great site for kits. I just finished my fuzz face clone and I love it. I didn't get it right the first time but I was patient and thorough and I triumphed. $75 for a boutique fuzz pedal ($150). No parts were substandard. Quite the opposite. I am planning on the...

I've got a Yamaha DG-Stomp. I've seen one on FleaBay for $75, recently. Darn cheap. For someone who needs one inexpensive it can't be beat. It's not as sophisticated as a rack mount unit. The tuner is a dissapointment. I get wah and volume pedal, great delay and verb, and lots of standard...

BYOC Fuzz for use on some rythmns and all leads. DG Stomp amp modeler and multi effect pedal. amp modeler OFF compression never chorus never flanger never phaser Occasionally rotary speaker Occasionally tremolo sometimes analog delay never tape echo occasionally verb pedal or amp Nope wah...

I won't buy another Gibson product. I own two and when I purchace my next it will either be a low cost Korean that is half the price of an Epiphone (Korean) or a more expensive guitar that is from a small company that has better construction. The inexpensive route would be a player that I can...

Eminence Patriot series, I read a lot of good things about the Red White and Blue for a clear Fender-esqe feel or the Texas Heat for a little more break up. Both get positive feedback.

Ive got Primitive Origins on vinyl...somewhere.

Zaphod is in Fort Worth?! small world...Las Colinas, here I sit. Anyway, 1) plug electric guitar into amp. 2) place microphone, properly connected and levels set to recording device, in front of amplifier, and record. 3) replace microphone and re record ad nauseum until you find the sound you...

any design you like build out of two by fours and nut bolt washers with some loctite. you will need a drill, drill bit, and a hand saw. with some planning it'll be collapsable and cost under $20.00.

If you are going to play this in a club I would think the vocals are overpowering the beat. If you intend on releasing this on a cd for people to hear updated versions of old singing performances I like it.
