Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Zakk Wylde signed cab! Epic! What’s the back story? That happened before me owning it unfortunately. Its the ZW cabinet that went with his original sig head, but is really a dolled up 1960a. Currently I have V30's and GB's in it in a cross pattern. He must have signed it at a music store, as draggi...

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Had these for years, not much has changed. 2000 LP Standard in a red flame type finish I brought from someone (Danny?) on here quite a few years back, and a 2008 LP Studio Faded. The Studio currently has some EMG's fitted, 81/89 TW set with push/pull etc from memory. Haven't really decided if the or...

Re: A Homebrew Friedman Smallbox

I built one of these using the PedalPCB board a while back, still my goto for a Marshall sound, great pedal! I popped the toggle onto a second footswitch for the different gain levels, which seemed very usable without having to adjust other knobs, but rarely do it. Re the BE-OD, I build the PedalPCB...

Re: Nail

Is it ok to say that I really dislike Devilskin? And The Rock, while we’re at it. Freedom of speech etc, but tbh, why would you feel the need? A lot of music isn't to my personal taste, but I just remind myself they make a primary living from something they are passionate about, I on the other hand...

Re: Refret, what guage?

I got 6100's (or the equiv in the brand Alan F uses here in chch) in my LP Studio. Took a while to get used to as I could pull the strings sharp pressing down too hard. Also, when I looked down, it looked like my action was really high, which ultimately it is from the fretboard, but measured from th...

Re: JCM900 4102 opinions?

If you haven’t seen this comparison yet it demonstrates the differences pretty well in a rock context. My observations are the 800 has a lower grunt/growl that the 900 doesn’t have. But the 900 still sounds like Marshall, just a slightly different EQ? Didn't hate any of them tbh. Interesting on the...

Re: Boss Repair?

Curious, has anyone found a replacement selector pot for Boss delay pedals? I need a 4 position 50k one for my DD3 to get it running again, but so far no joy locating. The part in the Boss repair manual is 13119308, SWITCH (ROTARY) SBM1024 (SRBM 14011A) Chur Pedal Parts Australia: https://www.pedal...

Re: Blues Breaker pedal users

Love the aesthetics of your pedals Reg :thumbup: For me, I made clones of both the KOT and Whampler Pantheon. I only use it to add grit to a clean amp, so sold the KOT and kept the Pantheon due to its additional tone shaping flexibility with the separate bass knob and voicing switch. Never tried the...

So just had a go at shooting out a real PRS MT15 against its plugin counter part - The Pyros Tremor 15 by STL tones. Thought I'd share the results cheers
