I am considering a tube change in my fender SCXD. My questions are many. What do the letters at the end of the number mean? Can a GC go where a S came out of. Can a 12au7 or 12 at7 replace a 12ax7? I know to keep the same number but am I gonna blow up my amp if I use the wrong letters? Is...

Ok, I realize this thread has been done before, but seeing as I just added a keeley modded ds1 to my rig, I thought I'd ask again..... what's your favorite DISTORTION pedal? I would like to keep this focused on distortion and NOT overdrive pedals. The keeley mod in the ds1 is the bees knees...

I have a boss cs-2. Just got it used, when I first got it everything worked fine, but after about a week, now the led won't light. I replaced the bulb and still nothing. The pedal still functions as it should with the exception of the led. Any help I can get on what to test on the board will...

I have no other reason for starting this thread except to share my latest GAS attack. Fender Blues Deluxe. I know they have been out for a while but I took my main axe to the tech for a tuneup and tested it out on his BD. I fell in love immediatly! My girlfriend wishes I was surfing porn...

:hungry Ok, my pedal GAS has struck again and I am starting to look into an octave pedal. Any ideas fellow fretters? Don't really know much about them, but I have a friggin compulsion to try very effect out there and an octave pedal is next on the list.

I recently got a Les Paul Junior. The previous owner had done a number on it. Completely stripped, and spray painted hammered silver. Hideous. I'm in the process of refinishing it and getting the parts for it. Tuners, pickgaurd, jack and plate, pots, nut, bridge and pickup. Which leads...

In a just for fun kinda way! What brand/gauge strings do you use? I'll start. Electric, Ernie Ball Purple package(.11-.48) Acoustic, Elixir nanowebs, .13's :poke

So here is my next question. Out of all the effects I've ever used, I don't recall ever really using a compressor. This is more of an opinion thread. I will probably get one here soon, but who uses them? Are they worth it? and what's your favorite? I have heard great thing about keely, carl...

I have been using a Boss DD-3 for awhile now. I like it, just looking for an analog delay to experiment with a new sound. So, what are my fellow fretters playin out there? Any suggestions? Im not into huge delay times, just a nice organic delay to play with. Holla!!!

I just wired up my partscaster and am getting a good bit of buzz out of it. Once I start to play it disappears and, if I touch either the volume or tone control, it stops altogether. As per SD's wiring diagram, all the grounds are soldered to the back of the volume pot. I'm curious if I...

Ok, I'm just curious if there is still a decent wah to be had under $75 anywhere. I know tone is in the ear of the beholder but I am getting discouraged with the wahs I keep trying in my price range. Lucky for me I buy and try off ebay so a failed experiment usually doesnt cost me much if...

I have just acuired a Dunlop JH-1 wah pedal, love the tone but it seems to be sucking volume. Honestly, when I step on it, it's like someone turned my amp down from 9 to 5. Any suggestions? I have a Vox v847 that is my number 1, but I dig this pedal and am thinking it may have a chance in my...

I have finally had it with house PAs! I need a solid acoustic amp for small bars and clubs (up to 150 people) I am going to take a trip down to GC this weekend and just curious what my fellow fretters like, kind of an outline of where to start. I am also on a budget, trying to find something...

I am eagerly awaiting my parts for my custom tele project. For the finish, i am planning on singeing(?) the back, sides and edges of the front with a torch, then a light finish (poly, nitro?) any suggestions on color? do i need filler? if i go poly color can i spray a nitro clear topcoat...

ok, i'm building a custom tele, got the body and neck on order, and tho it will be a little time before its all put together, I am starting drawing up my plan for pickups and wiring now. Here is my question, I am putting in a double humbucker setup (this guitar is going to replace my les paul)...

i just purchased a one piece ash tele body routed for active electronics (cavity on the back) and dual humbuckers. fire away with any ideas you may have, but i am really interested in pickup suggestions. I play alot of blues and classic rock. i already have a strat (another project for another...

I'm sure everyone has their dream rig, yet few can afford it. But, on the subject of low wattage combo amps. What's your favorite? Myself, it took me months to pick out my upgrade from a Fender Frontman 25. It had to be tube, and had to be less than my mortgage payment. I ended up choosing...
