I run OCD also as my base tone with the drive below twelve. I swapped the OCD for a Behringer OD300, which is a clone of Boss OS2, for a bit. It's not as "organic" sounding as OCD where you can shape the sound by rolling the volume knob on your guitar, and it sounds much harsher and feels ...

A Les Paul I wouldn't be afraid to drag around in a gig bag

Now where will we go for the ho tone? to the Boss, of course! i think saw an interview with a spokesperson or some other employee of the company years back saying it was supposed to be a shortening of "Hot Tone", which (1) they defeated by making the logo in all caps and (2) all for the s...

consider your dibs on the Tender Octaver secure!

Thanks, Dot!

The Hotone pedals look so cute and futuristic all at the same time. Too bad the company seems to have discontinued that line of pedals altogether. Love the Pumpkinstang(because of the colour, not the band) and the minimalistic setup. If you ever decide to sell the Tender Octaver, not that you're goi...

Nice pickguard and the pups look the part with flat pole pieces and fibery bobbins.

Nice axe! I've been dreaming of an SG Special since the time when the only source of information on vintage guitars was shitty crude web sites with crappy photos and pages from old Gibson catalogues.

They are rather cheap on Aliexpress and they are made of a much thicker material than your regular steel ruler. Also, in my experience steel rulers from hardware stores aren't often straight. Doesn't mean though that the Aliexpress thing is straight either, might be a piece of junk or might be a bar...

Nice, we'll wait! Because of how long the typical delivery from Aliexpress takes I sometimes forget I ordered something and don't feel excited about the thing, but I hope the pickups will live up to the expectation. Pickup makers on Aliexpress seem to have significantly improved their game. Their pr...

I don't know in which dumb comedy of the 2000s this song was and who actually played in it, but I can't stop picturing Will Ferrel prancing earnestly and happily to this song

That is so hot

Vintage Guilds are still relativelyy underappreciated. After WW2 Epiphone and Gibson were the two top shelf jazz guitar manufacturers with Epiphone being generally favoured more by pro jazz guitarists. The craftsmanship was thought to be superior to Gibson's and the guitars to be more prestigious. F...

Looks fantastic!

Guilds are rad, the yellow one does look like a candy

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

I meant the Westcreek to be Sonic Blue

How does it feel? Is it heavy or light? What is the neck like and how does it sound?

Looks nice, although nothing really gets close to that Jagstang Daphne Blue. All Squiers and other cheap guitars are either significantly darker or much lighter. This one is probably closer to Sonic Blue.

Ah fuck. We'll wait

Did you get it, Rob?
