Congrats, it looks great! I like how monochromatic (aside from the sticker) that rig is So I may have stumbled onto a top tip...guys, did you know you can totally have distortion on an amp? its like a pedal but its coming from the amp! So after using cleanish amp sonds for ever and using pedals for ...

It passed the practice test, I ended up using my new Nobels ODR-mini as a gain boost for both channels. I was also testing out my new Strat, might have just been getting used to everything but I found myself controlling my sound with the guitar’s controls rather than pedal settings, which is probabl...

Yeah I was thinking of using an EQ pedal on the natural channel (first going to try my Nobels ODR-mini at practice later as a tone control/boost).

So no EQ on the "natural" channel at all? Nope! Sick! How does the "natural" channel sound? Bright and clean, on the edge of breakup but not quite. It likes neck single coils but humbuckers/hotter pickups in the bridge. I’ll have a better idea of levels after practice tonight, b...

5 years ago I decided to buy an Orange, and in my budget at the time, I settled on an OR15. It was cool because it had an effects loop that I never used, and a 3 band EQ which the Tiny Terror didn't have. I still love the sound of that amp, but being single channel, it wasn't very practical in a liv...

Good score! I bought a cheapie set of white button tuners like that for my Telecaster, they might not be as smooth as the real Klusons on my Cyclone, but they work well enough and look nice. I'd say on par with the modern Squier tuners.

How heavy is the body? Every bullet with a tremolo I've held was heavy as hell, my bullet was heavy as hell and it wasn't the tremolo that weighed a ton, I took it completely apart and it was the body itself. PIt was probably the second heaviest guitar I've owned after a les paul knock off. Every h...

Dots: planning any upgrades?

All the upgrades: am I a joke to you?

(1986 MIJ neck w/Fender tuners, Kent Armstrong TVST62 pickups, CTS 250k pots and USA 5-way switch)

The bridge and body are the only non-upgraded parts left on the guitar.

I’m no authority on Fender custom stuff but I don’t know that I’ve personally ever run across a custom color on a Mustang.

Also the color used on the Mustangs of the era was Dakota and not Fiesta red

This one to be exact: 3139424B-E8FD-498C-93E0-FF1CF7AA3EB2.jpeg I’ve technically had this for a year and a half but it’s been living in Florida- Lauren found this Squier Bullet on marketplace while visiting her parents -they just visited us this weekend and brought it up neck off in a suitcase. It o...

How is the weight on that Jag Pat?

Not so sure. Squier made a “Competition Orange” affinity Tele a few years back, that looks to be the same color more than likely

This 62 at my friend's shop rn: http://www.instagram.com/p/CcqzqKnp1Ar/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Like, $10k is a lot to spend on a guitar and all, but at a certain point it feels like it belongs in a museum - less beautiful less rare things sell for much more and it's kind of bothersome that some...

Nah the stripe is all wrong and the color is off. So close, how is it this hard to mess up?

Nothing new but had some gear out that looked good together so I took a pic

Emperors new clothes all over the shop here. Let’s be real the nirvana live guitar sound with the DS pedals was not great

Yeah but the Yun mod tho.

Face it though; when we were kids, we wanted exactly what our heroes used because it was super inspiring and fun to use the same tools, not because they necessarily accurately recreated the sounds. Just looked at a 'DS-1 vs DS-2 mode I' comparison and the DS-2 sounds way less harsh, and doesn't hav...
