    Wah

    Is a wah suposed to be run through the fx loop? When I run my dunlop through the loop, the lows are cut off. The highs are fine.

    Pick-up

    I have a 1990 Ibanez Radius 540r and the bridge pick-up sounds real muddy. If I run it through an eq it sounds better. Any ideas on a cleaner sounding pick-up I can put in it?

    Big Muff

    Lpb-1

    I'm thinking about getting a LPB-1 boost pedal and running it through my FX loop just for solos. I haven't tried one of these pedals yet. Good, bad any info? Rick

    Feedback

    I have a 1990 Gibson Les Paul Standard that when I crank the distortion on my Marshall 3203 I get some serious feedback. I do have the stock pick-ups in there with the covers off. It's only on the bridge pick-up and when I put my finger on the pick-up the feedback goes away. Like it is vibrating...

    Volume Box

    I have a Marshall 3203 and thinking about one of those volume boxes where you can turn up the volume on the head then use the box to control the volume. It runs though the FX loop and it is suposed to really bring out the tone from the head. Has anyone used one of those things.

    Power switch

    The light for my marshall 3202 power switch went out and I would like to replace it. It is a 5 pin switch and I can only find a 4 pin switch. Can someone help me on where the fifth wire would go? Thanks:help

    Amp hum

    I have a Marshall 3202 and there is a loud hum coming out of it when I crank it up. Is that the 60Hz hum from the transformer or is there a problem? My Crate G600XL doesn't have that hum.

    Agile Has Arrived

    I finally broke open the piggy bank and bought a Agile 3100 off of craigslist. After I cleaned the fretboard, frets, set the relief and string height to where I like, this thing plays and sound just like my Gibby Standard. If I would have known about Agile before I bought my Standard, I would...

    Agile or Xavier

    I still haven't decided on which to buy an Agile 3000,3100 or a Xavier. I've heard good things about the Agile, any news on the Xavier. I believe the Xavier has the same neck profile as my standard 12 degree radious and the Agile is around 14. Is that a big difference? I'm trying to get as close...

    Help

    I've been trying to practice my soloing (improvising) for a long time now and to be honest, it hasn't gotten any better. I'll record a chord progression and try to solo over it. I'ts so bad the dog runs into a corner and shakes. It's very frustrating not making any progress. I've been...

    Momentary switch for rc-2

    I came across this website where a guy made pedals for his rc-2. Has anyone made one of these momentary switches? First off, I'll say that I made a external "pedal" to plug into the RC-2, equivalent to the "FS-6" (a two button external pedal from Boss) using simple electronics skills, for about...

    Boss RC-2

    Big Muff Distortion

    About a year ago I needed a push button switch and since I wasn't using my distortion I took the switch out of it. Now I want to put it back in and can't remember where the wire go. There are 3 purple wires, one comes off the input jack, one off the amp jack and one off the board. If anyone out...

    Modes

    I'm just starting to practice my modes. If I am playing B dorian, I know I should start on B, my question is should I stop on B at the 7th fret or continue the scale to D on the 10th fret?

    Solo constructing program

    Just wondering if there is a program or a download out there where I could construct a solo on the computor. Listen to it and make changes, or just to speed it up so I know what it sounds like before I practice it and not like it.

    Slowing down songs

    I'm trying to work on my solos, so is there a good way to slow down a cd so I can hear whats going on? My other option is to try and impovise one of my own. But my phrasing and improvising really sucks.
