NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Someone has mentioned it already but the Pigtronix Philosophers Tone is awesome. I play a a Tele into a Vox with med overdrive. The compressor is great as if i'm picking, strumming or doing lead I get a similar response and chords even out. Before hand the low notes were a bit over powering. It is a...

Cheers. I always get 34s and 84s mixed up. Have thought of a different amp but I really enjoy the clean side. I use pedals for all my gain purposes at the mo, but just feels like a waste not using the second channel. If I replace the tubes, what brand would you recommend?

This is why so many dude still use a Tubescreamer, it cuts some low end, boosts some 2K, and gives you a bit more 'cut'. +1 to this. I have a Clone of a Fulltone RTO (which in a sense is a refined tubescreamer from what I can tell), and often use this to boost for solos. At first I didn't think it ...

Hey all After some advice. The other guitarist in my band is away in Japan for a couple weeks so am going to use the time to get all my gear sorted, starting with retubing my amp (for the first time). Is a stock Vox Night Train 50 Watt head. This has 2EL 84s and 4 12ax7s. Have had the amp for about ...

Sounds good. Really like the first track, and as a demo i think it is sort of exactly what you want. A demo should leave room for improvement. I'd agree about the snare, something about it, maybe is to do with how it was tuned or recorded. But the songs are wicked and it doesn't take away from that.

Hi guys. Cheers again for all the replies. Will try cover everyone off. The Scarecrow - Keen as to get the Altered Stars in for a gig, as well as Single coil - What is your bands name? Will check ya out but am sure we'd be keen to have you along. Dates for Auckland would be between 16th and 19th of ...

Cheers for the replies guys, will get back with more details etc tonight when I have the chance

Wicked man I will keep you updated about it. We are in the process of trying to book Auckland this week

Hey all. I play guitar for Christchurched based band Forgotten Generation. https://www.facebook.com/forgottengeneration http://forgottengenerationmusic.bandcamp.com/ We are moving to Auckland over the summer and as part of this are going to do a DIY tour of NZ, pretty much trying to play everywhere ...

I would be in for sure. Let me know if you want any help organising anything.

You could always do as Brian May does with his treble boost and have it attached to your guitar strap. I'm looking at doing a similar thing, built a small circuit for a boost pedal a couple weeks ago as practice (Was a kit from Build Your Own Clone). Now that I have built it I need to find use and l...

Soundcloud of ideas I come up with. At least a couple have made the cut towards my band. One day I will put the rest towards a solo project (need to learn to sing first)

List like this are not cool. I'm now busy checking my bank account and working out how long I can go living off 2 minute noodles.

Those Orange Amps do look aweseom. Can someone compare the AD30 to the Vox AC 30 (if you have played both?) in terms of sound difference
