NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

OK, I avoid anything that does more than one thing simply because I think that it can't do multiple things and be good at all of them - multi effects pedals enter the room please. I have been recording recently and am about to do some more, and there are times when I wish I could model a sound, but ...

Oh yeah - actually caps can kill ya...if you've a dodgy heart. I have had wicked cap belt when playing the aforementioned Sovtek Mig. Fackin near pooed me pants...

Looks a little Brian May-ish...hey, great idea re. 3 x p90's...gotta love P90's...changing my name to p90...just a word spoken from recent infuriating experience. When you drill the holes for the bridge assembly, assemble the guitar completely and run cotton or string through the nut and along the n...

Dr Rog - i too have pondered that question. I'd say that the design elements for a combo mean they need to have the controls on top so access, and the pots and switches should be as close to the PC board, or chassis as possible. I have two amps that shun this however. The Trace Elliot Velocette is a...

I can absolutely recommend Tesla/JJ tubes. Reloaded all pre-amp sections of my main amps with these and agree - consistently good sounding. I have not had many issues with Sovtek's, especially the WXT higher gain versions. Seem to do me fine for standard applications. Simcha is indeed the man - he d...

Ideally one volume, one tone, and a switch for pups. The tone would have a push pull for phase or s/parallel depending on single/humfucker types...agree re. pinky and Strat - ideal volume swell machine...those Lace Sensors on Strat Plus's have a great cut on the volume in which a slight tweak back g...

Yeah, I had to return back to new to cover up BG's inspirational tinkerings just so I could screw it up again by throwing Allen keys on it!

Another shot...not so good sorry - I'll take more later

TaDaaaa

Played it on Saturday night....sitting on stage still doing the intonation having had it in 5 millions pieces 2 hours earlier....
A full run down of the issues, fun etc that I had with this beast as soon as I have real time on my hands...cheers

Ryan did two albums this year - Rock N Roll, which is OK but his contract said he had tomakeit, and then this little gem which is his choice. This album is rather moody, with some quite moments where you can get lost in the very raw sounding instruments. I tried to compare this album with something ...

Am I reading right? 959K US dollars for Blackie?

Mmm, good call. Do you use it in a major format, in terms of the structure?...i.e. most blues plays a minor pentatonic scale but you can change the format so the shape you play on the finger board is the same but it is for the major scale...e.g. a Blues lead in B can nicely do the same thing for a s...

Vintage mint green but scuffed up and scratched accordingly...

That's quite funny B45's quote and it applied to the topic... Anyways, I suspect BG you wish to see more photos of the project and how it is all going. Well, clear coats are going on the Daphne Blue, and my oh my the thing is looking fine. I must be out of my mind to want to mess this baby up... I'm...

I played a little Vox single speaker 30 watt thing some time back - Cambridge I think it was called. It sounded pretty good for the size and was light and small. $400 ish which is reasonable. I know the Rock Shop has them. I do think they have a single 12AX7 sitting in the front end though...so not ...
