Did you guys who have an m9/m13 sell a bunch of your other pedals and use these to replace them? If so, do you miss the pedals you sold? I've sold a wah-wah, a phaser, a delay and am selling the digitech whammy, and I don't miss any of those. edit: ooh and i've also sold my spring king! don't miss ...

If that fret buzz should happen again you could try playing other frets. There's like 22 of them, should last you for some time.

I have this MIM Tele '72 reissue, that has "modern" WRHBs, and to me they sound great. Trebley, clear and what not. I hated humbuckers before I got this tele. But this, it even can sound a bit of like strat resemblence in the neck position, especially if the amp is driven to the "crun...

I'd say it's some kind of overdrive with tone knob set to treble, then into an almost dry flanger.

Not only that, but also check this part of your guitar:

You might check the neck stamp to identify exact model. My CIJ MG66 looks exactly like your guitar, but in a different color.

Some nice shielding won't hurt. I'm not sure what your problem is, but properly shielding a guitar had never failed me.

I don't think you can solder anything to that bridge, it looks chromed, can't solder to that shit. But yeah, I'd call it a bad ground. Had same thing in my 72 Tele, and I couldn't fix it, it was getting on my nerves. So I payed a tech to do it.

That dude who made the joystick video is insane. I tried the POD HD500 today. To say the truth, I was fairly disappointed. The footswitches don't change their LED colors like in M9 and M13. The amp simulations sounded pretty OK through monitor speakers, but were a total disaster through headphones -...

Wow, thanks a lot! That was an interesting read.

I'm going to try out the HD500 in a store, I think tomorrow. So far the only thing about it that seems bad is that it's huge.

Thanks! I fiddled with the M9 for like 40 minutes in a shop today, and I liked it a lot. Really considering selling some of my pedals and getting the unit. What boggles me is that the POD HD400 costs less than the M9, but seems to give you more. Like, an exp pedal, amp models and it allows 4 effects...
