Well there was 2 guitars and me and another guy were bidding on both of them. What I think happened was the other guy won both guitars and then he decided which one he wanted. So he withdrew his final bid on the guitar I ended up getting and they sent me that offer to buy it for my last bid of...

Made 2 speaker cables for my attenuator earlier, after the locking female jacks came in. It started as a 6' cable with molded ends from D'addario. Now it's two 3' cables lol. Had to figure out how that locking female jack came apart. That was interesting. So I cut it in half and put new jacks on...

The usual suspect. I think many of you know the story behind this guitar. This is the 2023 Epi that I picked up for almost nothing for my bday last year. The day I bought it, 7 days after my bday, was the day my dad had a stroke. I won't ever be getting rid of this guitar. Ever. That's one...

How much were those cutters? I usually just buy a set of Hakko CHP-170 flush cutters for like $5. You see A LOT of people using them when soldering because they're flush cutters. I use them to cut strings extremely short at the tuners. https://hakkousa.com/chp-170-micro-cutter.html

You really shouldn't use serial number decoders. Email Gibson/Fender/etc... They'll tell you when it was actually built and not give you random info like those sites do. They don't have a database of legit guitars they're referencing. All they do is literally decode whatever you type in. It...

Ordered a spray can of red cherry lacquer to attempt to fix this repair on my Epiphone. Ordered a new passive attenuator for the Hot Rod Deluxe. It's similar to the Harley Benton attenuator except it runs on 9v and has a cab simulation built in as well as a headphone amp for quiet playing and...

I prefer the tubes. I did both the 12ay7 and 12at7. That thing is just a volume pot. I made one in a couple of minutes with a pot and 2 jacks and tried it out and it doesn't work nearly as well as a 12ay7 & 12at7. I removed the pot immediately and haven't used it again.

AFAIK, it's actually not long gone. Epiphone as a company still exists. They're a subsidiary of Gibson. A subsidiary is a company owned by another company. 🤷

My Epiphone '59 Les Paul I picked up for $200. I'd have rather have paid the original $360 and gotten it without the crack in the neck from the FedEx guy. But since he cracked it, the seller gave me a partial refund and I repaired it myself. Awesome guitar. Sounds absolutely killer with a set...

I know all about that. I thought Toyota Camry's were safe cars until my child was killed in one in a car accident/wreck. I'll never ride in another one after what happened. This one was basically new. It was a 2012, IIRC and the wreck happened in 2014. They were still selling the same body...

Been using the blue Silvertone S-style recently. Got a new fuzz pedal so I've been on a Strat kick. I even got my wah pedal back out. Tbh, this new Satisfaction Plus Fuzz pedal is a decent pedal. It'll do 'Satisfaction' to heavy Doom Fuzz to gated fuzz and eveything in between. It's just a...

If so, which kind? I currently have 7 Hercules hangers and 1 String Swing. I'm considering swapping out all of my Hercules hangers for String Swing for peace of mind after seeing multiple broken Hercules hangers and ZERO broken String Swing hangers. So I was curious what everybody else uses...

It's crazy how much more I've been using this. The saturation knob pretty much makes it an always on boost pedal. I never expected that I'd actually use it this much 😍 At $299, it's well worth the money, IMO. Although, after watching the JHS vid going over the Boss DM-101 fully analog Delay...

I found a preview. Ummmm... https://music.apple.com/ca/song/brain-damage/405365406

Link isn't working. I nominate this version

Yea I figured as much. My Gladiator pedal I referenced above does the thing I described above or you can do both at once. There's a switch in the middle that let's you select how the pedal operates. The funny part is I thought my pedal was broken when I got it. I'd turn the pedal on, then flip...

Does it have any sort of "channel switching" ability? I recently got a pedal with this and now I'm fascinated by it. The pedal I bought can be set to act like a 2 channel amp basically. Instead of having to hit each footswitch to turn one side off, then the other side on, it does it...

Personally, I'd look for one with a "Mix" knob if you haven't bought one yet. Mixing the dry signal back in gets your dynamics back, from what I understand.

You're 100% right about that. You wouldn't believe how much better the wow & flutter sounds vs the $40 delay I was using. It's unbelievable how different they are and how much better the Boss sounds.

The only thing I've noticed that I don't like is that the footswitches don't move up and down that much. Less movement than the avg switch. It makes it so l can't use footswitch toppers on them because they keep the switch from engaging because they're too long apparently.
