I gigged for a while with just an overdrive pedal and I did fine (before that I just used the footswitch on my amp), so I think just an overdrive pedal would be my choice.

I've got a soldering iron I can borrow for this, but if it goes well I'll definitely be buying one. One thing I did wonder about this diagram you posted before, was will it definitely make a seperate volume for each pickup, not just two master volumes? EDIT: And I'm guessing this is how the guitar i...

Mine is one of the Chinese first run Jagmasters, the 25.5" ones that everyone hates. I love it though. It's one of my favourite guitars. No tone pot is like having tone up full always. Freddy: If I were you, I'd get stuck in myself. Pots are cheap and fairly indestructible. Pickups less so, bu...

Yeah I'll try and do a neater job than that seen as this is my main guitar. I wouldn't say I knew what I was doing, but this mate of mine knows enough about electronics to do something like that. This Strat of his seems to be going pretty well. I'm gonna get him to help with this project because I w...

Yeah, didn't think of the projects forum... I'm an idiot sometimes. Can someone maybe move it?

And yes, that does seem like a much more sensible way of doing it. Thanks for the links!

A friend of mine is modding a cheapo Strat copy at the moment. He told me about it today and we ended up talking about some mods we could potentially do to my Jagmaster if his Strat modding goes well. It won't be until I've bought myself a tube amp, but I'd like to know where I need to get the parts...

I've used an old Carlsbro tube head before and it sounded awesome. Plus, you can get some weird lofi distortion if you mess with the EQ enough. I'm guessing this combo will be pretty similar.

all of the valvetronix stuff is, for lack of a better description, total shit . Absolute bollocks. I owned an AD50VT and I still miss it for practise and recording, which it was fantastic at. The Fender and Vox models were dead on. It just couldn't compete with a drummer. And bramble - they also us...

high gain version? explain? i have an ad100vt. it's alright when i need it. managed to get a good sound from it so i'm not complaining. would like to upgrade but can never find the capital for it. Basically instead of the AC15 emulator etc... it has lots of amp models with heavier distortion. It wa...

I've had one for about a year and a half. I liked it when I bought it but now I kind of hate it, except maybe at bedroom volumes. I did buy the 'high gain' version though (WHY????), a friend of mine has the non-high gain version of mine and it sounds a bit better, but still not great. I think the wh...

Sounds pretty ace. I've had a go on a friend's Dad's old Vox (not sure which one, he has an AC50 and an AC30) and this seems to get fairly close. What are those Aria Mosrite copies like? I saw one in a shop yesterday and it looked pretty decent.

Doesn't more speakers just increase the percieved volume? Like, if the same amount of sound is coming from two or more sources instead of just one, it won't be any louder, but it will seem louder.

I'm pretty sure my cousin used to have that guitar, and I actually liked it at the time (I was about 8 ). Don't remember the HATE inlay though... He probably had a non-Mick Thompson BC Rich warlock, they've been around as a design much longer than Slip knot and in many different configs My ex-g/f h...

Don't remember the HATE inlay though...

I was much happier before I knew what I wanted and all I cared about was it being loud and distorted. Ignorance is bliss. This. I remember hours of fun sat playing through a Marshall MG with the gain on full. Since I started to find out what sounds good, and how I want to sound, I don't think I've ...

I'm having to use only three for a gig tonight, seen as I don't have a power supply and for some reason I only have three 9v adaptors. I think I could get by all the time with just the ones I've chosen (I'll be adding more in as soon as I get a power supply though). It goes Overdrive, Fuzz and Delay...

I haven't played either of those pedals but I do think the EHX Nano stuff can be great sometimes. I have the Nano Doctor Q and it's awesome.

Sounds like this is the way to go. Thanks guys!

if the impedance matches, I wouldn't see the harm in doing this. PA speakers are designed to cover a wider frequency range than guitar speakers which incidentally, includes the guitar's range. So eventhough it may not be optimal, it should still sound better than blasting a fart in a Radio-Shack mi...
