Although, given that you can combine different effects into one preset (or something, dunno how it works), could you add a clean boost or a compressor or something alongside the uni-vibe to tune the volume back to where you want it?

I did not know about the power supply issues! I think I'm running out of isolated supplies on my Iso-brick, so that might be something I need to think about....

I've fancied the original for aaaages, but now it looks like Zoom are updating this range of pedals. http://guitar.com/news/gear-news/zoom-ms-70cdr-multistomp/ The original looked pretty comprehensive. I wonder how much value there is in the new one compared to the old one (particularly after hackin...

Insanely jealous. I've never owned a Jag or a Jazzy, but both/either of those have always been my dream version of both/either since before I knew what the difference was as a 15 year old.

Hmm, looking at the website, it looks like they do one of everything. There's an SRV strat, a Buckethead LP, the Prince telecaster, EVH strat, EVH wolfgang thing, Jimmy Page double neck, gretsch/tele mashup thing, all sorts. Except for bass, where they have one PJ bass which treats "generic&quo...

A twin for the Jaguar?

Goofy bits are what makes a Performer. The whole idea of them was goofy.

Might as well do an Acoustisoniformer at this point....

Fuck I really want a Performer....

I love it, and love the pickups, but it need more goofy bits. No locking trem seems like a misstep.

I've always been a bit of a coward, but with a second hand amp would it not be an idea to get it a once over? Is a massive hole appearing in the side of a tube a normal wear and tear type thing, or a possible symptom of something else going on?

Very nice! Quite a collection of pretty, red, not quite SGs. As someone who always liked the look of SGs but could never get on with how flimsy they feel, these both look great.

I'd have thought that was the case. But, and maybe I'm being dense here, is there a reason not to make your own? They seem expensive for what they are. A fret scale template needs to be accurate, but this is a straight line with notches. I'd be tempted to buy a cheap steel ruler, make markings on it...

Given how good digital is these days, a big analogue amp is getting harder to justify, and guitarists probably would benefit from just having a "make loud box" like you say. But we won't go for that, because we're all children. So I reckon you're going to see more things that are basically...

Freddy, that's easy! You simply put the guitars through and vocals cheap bluetooth interface and probably that fixes everything.

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to hook up 2 pair of headphones to the MPC... but it would hinder your movement :( I'm in a similar boat, though we use an Octatrack and a Drumbrute. Luckily my partner in that band has a PA system cobbled together, so if he's not doing sound at the gig a...

Gorgeous.

Although I'm a bit put out that this is finally done. I feel like it should be perpetually in progress, even in just a very superficial way like a toggle cap not being installed or something.

Then you're looking at buying chairs which is a whole other thing.

Realise I didn't include the link earlier. These are the ones I use. Possibly different size. Think it's the 10" one anyway.

I love how optimistic you are that that will buff out with a bit of elbow grease...

Looks great, though!

Is this just for monitoring? So absolute quality, while nice, isn't really important? If so, I'd be tempted by big keyboard and bass amps too. I realise that chucking more speakers at it probably isn't the smartest solution but fuckit, chuck more speakers at it. In school I use these a lot both for ...

Haha, YES! Or like it's made out of hard candy or something.
