NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Anyone got tips on creating headroom on captures? I have noticed some captures have more headroom built in and my drives breathe a bit better. One I was using this morning Tone Junkie Sampson era Badcat wasn’t the case, I lowered the input trim to 5, (from 8.5) and lowered the gain to 3 ish but was ...

Sounds great! Wanna go play this riff now.

Once I got over the interface learning curve and software quirks I’m really liking the Tone X. No experience with a Kemper but it certainly has some noticeable improvements over my HX Stomp amps.

I don’t have experience with 70s Strats but I do own a 72 Tele. Having owned a number of Teles from USA modern down the line it’s an excellent guitar. It’s very heavy as is often attributed to 70s guitars, but the neck feels very nice and the playability is as good as any other I’ve tried. It’s a ke...

Not sure, would be interesting to find out though. 240-volts according to this schematic: https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?t=19980 That’s a good thing right? As apposed to some other tube overdrives that run at 9v DC and aren’t really doing much? After playing it this morning live I’m p...

Yeah I watched a video on how to replace the tubes, each wire needs to be desoldered off the board carefully. Not impossible but not a quick job. Hopefully mine isn’t near replacement but time will tell. Do you know what voltage the tubes are running at Reg? Not sure, would be interesting to find o...

Sounds pretty good on youtube, and has some interesting tubes in it! I believe that the tube are soldering directly to the PCB which makes them more troublesome to replace if need be.

Ooooh, another tube pedal I nee to check out! Didn’t know they made one! Think it was a 90s/2000s model, haven’t seen one in a while but this came up cheap recently on TM. I remember looking at guitar rig run downs of the band The Living End using one live so always wanted to try one. It sounds pre...

In a recent pedalboard shuffle I’ve ended up with a Seymour Duncan Classic tube pedal on my board, which means I now need a multi box as I have 3 power supply’s to run my pedalboard, a Truetone CS7 for most of the pedals, seperate HX Stomp power supply as it overloads the CS7 without it and now a s...

Been offered this Strat but struggling with what it’s worth.
Made in Japan 1990, volume pots been removed but included. Yes it appears to be a fluro hand covering where the volume pot was (can’t explain why)
Looks to be ok condition but not mint.

Navigating the software is the worst part of the Tone X, matter of fact I can’t even get it to download anymore. The tone is arguably better than the modellers I’ve tried so happy to pursue with it for now. I’m really hoping there is a Helix 2 soon that has capture technology. I’m sure their version...

I just used the Tone X live for the first time this weekend and was pretty happy with how it went. Used a TJ Vox capture, I was certain I’d use the Deluxe reverb one but after sound checking it just didn’t cut enough so switched to the Vox. Question for those using IRs, you would need just the amp c...

I’m just looking into this myself,so will be interested to see what people are using. I’ve only downloaded a couple of free ones from Tone Junkie so far and both were better than the stock sounds. 66 Vox and 65 Deluxe reverb. I guess it depends of your looking for clean amps though.

Looks awesome! Nice work Tez!
