So I think the issue with my stereo pedals has something to do with how they're hooked up - with one jack going to the fx loop of amp #1 and the other going to the front of amp #2. If I run them both to the front of each amp, they operate correctly. The volumes aren't interactive. I can turn...

Thanks, all! Well, that didn't last long. I've already removed the blue amp jewel and blue silicone bulb cover that I installed previously. It seems that I inadvertently left the amp on Standby for around 4 hours in a DARK room and never even noticed it. From like 1 - 5am. So thats the end of...

Well maybe a dark burst IBG Les Paul body. Crossing my fingers that it's still there in the morning.

I started one of these at Strat Talk and a few other forums that ended up being pretty active. So I figured I'd try here. There isn't really a Lounge to talk about anything guitar-related and off-topic is off-topic. So I posted it here even though everything purchased won't be guitars only. It...

Lol you got that right. That is the main reason I ordered bias probes to take direct plate current measurements. It's much safer vs me trying to probe points inside an amp that's powered on. This way, all I have to do is use the probes for current and then take plate voltage to calculate plate...

Is that the hammer with the removable hammer heads? Mine came with black plastic, yellow plastic, brass, & aluminum heads. I used it ALLLLLL the time on everything lol. I would also suggest picking up 1 of 2 things. Or even both. Either an Ernie Ball Power Peg string winder or the...

Here it is finally! And permanently! 2024 Hot Rod Deluxe! Now with blue jewel instead of the stock red. The white bulb was too bright through the blue so I added a blue silicone bulb cover, as well. The last 2 pics are before and after the silicone bulb cover. On the left would be the former...

Picked this up around 6 weeks ago while it was on sale at AMS. I knew my bday was coming up and I wanted a new amp so I took a chance on this one without even playing through one first. 😮🤣 So its been put up for the last 6 weeks. My bday is in 4 hours(central time) so I figured it's finally...

Well this has gotten interesting. I bought some EL84 bias probes and returned them because they measured cathode current not plate current. Or it included screen current, not just plate current. So today, I did some measurements & calculations to figure out how my amp is biased. My...

Hmmm. 1000 pts for a pack. I'd possibly put the colored circles that represent the ball ends on my truck window but that'd be it. Again, 95% of people wouldn't know what they were and would likely assume it's related to LGBTFABCDEFGHIJK because of the rainbow colors. You'd have to know what...

Oh yea? I might have to try those. I had wanted to try some reinforced strings since my high E's always break at the ball end. One did yesterday. Then I ruined the one I got out to replace it when I kinked it on accident. I keep single 9s and 10s for just that reason. I learned that early on...

Hmmm. I wear my D'addario t-shirt that I got for free all the time. But the average person wouldn't know that since it only has the multi-piece 'D' on the front. So you'd have to know the logo to know it was D'addario. What sucks is D'addario freaking deleted my account after I ordered it...

Same as most days. The Sunburst Indio 66 DLX Plus. New bone nut a couple of weeks ago. It's got CTS 500k volume pots and 500k no load tone pots. A Seymour Duncan Antiquity neck pickup and Seth Lover bridge pickup. Faber reliced tailpiece and locking studs. Gotoh reliced ABR1 with Faber...

I have an EP Boost. Just a volume knob. I also have a Demon FX Dual Boost. It's an EP Boost and a Fortin 33 Boost in 1 pedal. Neither of those have tone knobs either. The 33 Boost does its own tone shaping in the circuit. It cuts A LOT of bass and modifies the signal quite a bit. It's...

That right there. The Brothers have always been known to have THE very best players in the industry on their stage. Duane & Dickey were the beginning of it all. Then Dickey & Dan Dickey & Derek Dickey & Warren Derek & Warren And all of the other Brothers that played for 1 show or 50 shows. Zakk...

Strings on the sunburst 66 DLX. That's it for guitars. Edit: or not. I massaged a couple of slots on the nut and bridge of this guitar, also. When I play the 7th fret on the D string(A?) with some volume, it makes either the G or B ring out in an extremely high pitch. So I massaged those slots...

Well that was eventful LOL! Pretty sure I almost smoked the amp. I got no sound when I was done. I checked a few times, so I figured if something wasn't connected right, I for sure blew it up. Put it back to stock with no change. Replaced the 12ax7 in V1 and no change. Replaced the 2 EL84s...

Almost killed it a 2nd time. Wired in a shunting jack for external speaker(s). When I plugged in, I got no sound. This time, I had to wait until the tubes warmed up and started producing sound but they never did. Tried it twice more. Nothing. So I removed the jack and tried it again. Still...

Looking to wire in a switched jack that connects the stock speaker when no cable is installed and disconnects it when a speaker cable is plugged in. I know a 13a Switchcraft jack will work but I've also read that a 12a will work. 13a has a normally open and normally closed switch on it that...

I almost killed it yesterday. D'oh! I forgot I had hooked up the Hot Rod Deluxe to the speaker in the MP15 earlier in the day. We'll, I didn't plug the stock speaker back in when I unplugged the HRDlx and I turned the amp on. Thank GOD I realized what I did the moment the switch flipped so I...
