Visual sound route 66.

Or True Tone as I think they're now called.

Re: What's on your work bench?

Unironically, Wayne Static had an immense guitar tone and that was all vs100 heads. Yeah man! Wayne had the tightest riffs too. The vs100 is almost identical or pretty close to the 8100 used by Chuck Schuldiner used in Death. Yeah I know, I just wanted to give Wayne some props after I was listening...

Re: What's on your work bench?

Wired up and plugged in for the very first time. I'm happy so here is a final happy picture. Fully enclosed and running a basic Celestion G12M-70, it pairs up with my Valvestate VS100 really well. I know that combo will crack people up but it's a 90's thrash/death metal thing I've been working on :...

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

I might be breaking protocol with more than one post. But my tumescence grows over what could be a one piece back. That means extra internet points.

Re: Do you remove the trem cover on your Strat?

Yes, but because I like having access to the claw screws to adjust the feel.

Re: 1974X 18 watt - StewMac kit FOR SALE _ Offers

Possibly a dumb question, but given the orientation of the tubes, that chassis would only work in a head cab yeah? Ideally, as otherwise all the heat travels into the chassis. Also the labels will be backwards and the knobs will have a weird 0-10 sweep. You could do it though if you really really w...

They do, it just looks a lot like 3w resistors.

Can you wait or are you aching to mouse ?
No massive rush, but hopefully within a week as the quicker it's done the quicker it's done and I can put the amp back in the enclosure.

Anyone need anything from Mouser?

Yo. I need some stuff from there but not enough to qualify for free shipping. If anyone needs anything we could join forces and hopefully not pay shipping.

Talk at me. Tell me your desires.

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Got an MIJ Greco EW on the way from Japan. Interesting little thing. Les Paul scale and woods, shaped like a PRS (ish), bolt on neck with threaded inserts as standard, yet has a trem. Since I got my Charvel I've really enjoyed little flutters for the end of arpeggios so this seems like a good thing,...

I guess that would be me 👋
I didn't know you were lefty. That's cool.

Re: Cable recommendations

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 class...

Re: NGD: restored 1985 Canora Les Paul

What a freaky design concept. Seems almost more difficult than the original LP concept. well done on the resto. The neck is 3 pieces too. The headstock, heel, and main neck shaft are all different pieces. It's much louder than my other electrics when unplugged, and very balanced sounding when plugg...
