NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

IMG_7869.jpeg Both pedalboards in action at the studio on Tuesday. This is the longest they have been unchanged, but there’s a fuzz yet to be added, and plans for a bass delay and hopefully Justin Chancellor fuzz… One thing engineers love - having full amp and cab sims on each board. Thoughts on th...

What is the noise gate doing here? Just eliminating the single-coil hum?

Played two. Hated two.

Mogami w2524 and Neutrik NP2X is what I've used for ages and ages after I made a bunch of them after my planet waves died (and can't be repaired easily). Turns out their lifetime warranty didn't migrate when Daddario bought them out and instead became a 2 yr warranty. The Mogami stuff is world clas...

This is an old and boring subject, but what are the good cable options these days? I used to buy Freedom and Lava cables from Ryan, but the virtually all the cables I’ve bought since have been disappointingly flimsy. What are good, solid options these days, that aren’t super expensive? I bought som...

Does an Explorer count as an offset, or is it too offset? It's the guitar I have wanted since the 1980s. I always end up with something less radical though, e.g., SGs and LPs etc. kowe0xjfitn41.jpg There is a strict technical definition which we adhere to on this thread. Unless we're talking about ...

It stays it tune?

This.

I haven't found my Mike-C Deluxe Reverb to do its best work when fully cranked. It sounds great at 5-7 on the volume dial, especially when cutting bass and/or adding Klone/TS in front. But diming the volume just doesn't sizzle my bacon. That's in distinct contrast to the Plexi and Tweed, both of wh...

Grant B, Conway - you boys wind them up, or keep them clean? Robbie - Bandmaster would stay pretty clean right? Maybe a little grit at the top of the dial? Twins scare me. Bandmaster is not mine and not stock. I spent a month with it. I got no break-up. None. Significantly louder and cleaned than m...

There's a well-loved Bandmaster head with a forumite. I have the matching cab which I bastardise with various speakers.

There's a couple of tasty blondes floating around.
