    Neck won't suck Finger EEz

    Ok, I have owned an acoustic Alvarez RD 20sc, cutaway for a few years now. Been playing it often lately, but the neck always feels dry. I apply rigorous amounts of finger eez to it each time I play and it helps a little, but by the next time I pick it up its bone dry again. It's a rosewood neck...

    A great opportunity or a waste of money?

    Alright, I emailed Jeff Anderson at Sound Logic Studios a year ago about an internship, no dice, but now one year later I get this email from him: The 2009 Sound Logic Recording Workshop will be held on May 22nd from 6p – 10p and the 23rd from 10a – 5p. Participants will spend around 15...

    Fender Deluxe Vintage Modified?????

    Ok, went into the local music store to test drive a Peavey classic 30, they only had the 50, I was playing around when the guy says he wants to show me a brand new amp that just came in. It's a Fender and I'm thinking whatever, ive never been a big fan, but I'll give it a shot. Dude, I thought...

    Whats the deal with the Valveking?

    Alright, I've been pretty comitted to the Peavey Classic 30. I sold my half stack yesterday, and now I've got the cash. But it seems to be out of stock everywhere near me. I called GC and the guy said he had some comprable amps: a Fender model which I didn't like as much as the 30 and a...

    Servicing an SS amp

    I'm trying to sell an old Peavey of mine, unfortunately I believe the gain knob is shot. It seems to turn much easier than the other knobs and does not make a difference in sound. What could this mean, and is it a hard fix? It's a Peavey Bandit 65. I don't know much about modding anything so...

    Purchasing a used tube amp

    Hey guys, I've been browsing Craigs list lately and am thinking about buying a new amp. Before I go look at any, what are some things I should check for on the amp. I've bought new tube amps but not used, and am a little scared. Are there any tests for tubes, or the amp in general I can perform...

    I'm terrible at making succinct posts. I've seen some posts lately that mention modding pedals to make them true bypass. Is this possible? Would something like an A/B switch work better? I have an old multi effects pedal (DOD Tec4x) and it has a "bypass option" but it definitely isn't true...

    Total Crap Multi FX unit, bypass?

    Ok, I've recently resurructed my DOD Tec4x "Multi-effects" processor for a bit of fun. I put it in my fx loop and promptly remembered that it doesn't have a true-bypass. I don't know if this is the standard or not, but it is quite frustrating to have to contain volume for my entire rig in the...
