    What is your favorite effect pedal and what do you like about it??

    1985 ProCo Rat.....bought it in 1985 and has been the only constant since. Great for blues break-up, for slightly thickened jazz lines and creamy solo's. Add a MXR Carbon copy and good guitar & tube amp.

    Meter readings on pickup install?

    After thinking about it and setting aside the meter readings.  I think that the sound that I am not completely satisfied with may be the wiring. I used some silver wiring that I had laying around. I remember a few years back I rewired a guitar with the same silver wiring and ended up re-wiring...

    Meter readings on pickup install?

    I just put in a set of SD Antiq Texas Hot strat PU. The DC resistance readings on the SD website are as follows: neck & middle 6.3....bridge 9.7 Using a three foot patch guitar cable I get the following readings with my multi meter: 6.05 neck, 6.24 middle & 9.4 bridge. They sound a bit weaker...

    Warmoth Goncalo Alves neck

    Yep....the tuner holes are fine. I had the neck on a strat build and worked perfectly. I am just addicted to the 1 3/4 nut so I replaced this neck with maple w/.75 nut.  :occasion14:

    How do you get this option with warmoth? I can't find it any where in the warmoth selections.

    Compound radius bridge setup.

    I had the same thought on my first build. I used the 20 gauge then any strings that buzzed were raised slightly(very little)...I assume they are now at about the 18...this was for 10-46 strings

    Stereo Rig

    I have a mesa lonestar and am looking to run it in stereo with another amp. Can someone please explain how the slave out function on the lonestar would come into play? From my understanding I could drive both amps from the LS slave out line into the effects return of second amp. This would...

    Bought a new Marshall Class 5

    The rat in front should fill out the bottom end. I bought a rat pedal around 84 or 85 and it has been a mainstay on my pedal board. Thickens up any amp by adjusting the filter.

    59 Roundback - I need some lead players' perspectives, please.

    After owning several guitars(les pauls, strats, hamers, ibanez,etc.) I completed my first build this summer. The 59 roundback to me is the perfect neck. I took a chance and ordered th 1 3/4 nut and to me this is the best neck i have ever played. From chords to playing solo's I feel like I have...
