    Good Overdrive/Boost pedal?

    ATM I'm using a bad monkey to get a boost for bluesy solos over my crunch channel. I use it to get a little extra gain and make the soft lead channel "softer". I like the pedal but still I want something better. What I want is: 1. A boost for blues solos when activated over my crunch channel...

    What Strat pickups?

    Those Lindy Fralin pickups seem like they're the best, but you can't get those in germany...

    What Strat pickups?

    thanks man! I really appreciate that you wrote that much. I like your guitar. I only want this guitar for clean and light distorted bluesy sounds though. On stage I use the Ibanez and the strat, the strat only for the bluesy stuff. I'm really happy with 5 positions :) I don't want more than...

    What Strat pickups?

    So you guys are pretty much for the 69's? I like the name of those :) What's the main difference about texas specials/69s? Soundwise? I was told the Texas specials are only good for SRV and aren't that nice clean. is this true? I forgot to say that I love John Mayer's tone on "gravity". If...

    How do you set your bridge - floating or fixed?

    On my ibanez superstrat it's floating :D on my fender I had it floating some time, but now it's fixed because I don't really use the fender tremolo on stage with my band so it's useless, but I liked to use it at home, maybe I'll make it float sometime...

    What Strat pickups?

    I wanted to buy some Texas Specials, but after talking to a couple of really good guitar players I know they don't think they're the right thing for me. The say they are too twangy and have way too much bite. So, what do you guys think I should get? Texas Specials, even though I've been told...

    look what I bought :)

    It was about 1000 euros with the midi board. I now the guy at the store, i got it much cheaper. Yes, it is 50 watts all tube, 1x12. celestion vintage 30 speaker :D I love it.

    look what I bought :)

    wait 'till you have it at home. You have time to play with it and the tone will be even more amazing :D

    look what I bought :)

    thx man. The screamer is similar to the blackmore head. It needs the same footswitch and my musicteacher (had it for about 1,5 years) said it's not much different. Blackmore is amazing, I've been listening to more Deep Purple stuff these days. I just got the In Rock album.

    look what I bought :)

    So, my band has been having a really successful time. We had 2 gigs at school, which were huge (around 1000 people). then 2 weeks after the second gig we saw something about a talentshow in the newspaper, we pretty much had crappy equipment. Except for my other 2 guitar players we had nothing...

    What strings do you use?

    D'addario FTW. I have them on every guitar, even my crap-o-caster. Great sustain, each string is like a tank, they just feel new for such a long time. I played the D'addarios on my strat until the high strings felt like barbed wire once :D

    How To Relic A Strat

    With the neck still on? that's kinda stupid, but a good method :D

    New Ibanez

    When I start working I'm gonna start saving for an ENGL Powerball head or some sort of Mesa. I'm probably gonna get the ENGL though, Mesa is kinda expensive over here. I want the dual rectifier and it's 2444 euros on thomann, that's kind of expensive :D

    New Ibanez

    It's the best guitar in that price range I tried. I think it's even better than more expensive guitars. I love how I can get every sound I want. Pickupswitching is like this: It's gonna be the same when I get the Air Norton and the x2n. I've heard the Air Norton has amazing cleans when it's in...
