I use all George cable except the cable coming out of my guitar. Which is a Zaolla Silerline to a Peavy Valverb, of which is used as a booster/buffer to get my sound thru my pot pedal. Its a richer so ...

There is a free app that I really like. It's called Pitchlab Lite. There are a few different screens but the good one is called "dial and strobe". It has the needle dial with cents and also ...

Strymon has a new delay as of this year, called DIG. I could not have dreamed up a more perfect delay pedal. Google "Review Strymon Dig Dual Delay Pedal Guitar World".

Had a similar problem last week. Decided to rewire my pickup to the jack connections on my old Fender. Bipassing the old volume and tone controls and using some silver wire I had, that always gave me ...

If you go to the You Tube of 'David Hartley on the NEW Justice Steel Guitar', he shows a shot of his Boss dd2 settings. His sound was incredible and the dd2 was all he used.

If you can, test drive the Strymon Blue Sky. One of the features is the pre delay control in which you can dial in a fat delay but still keep your pick attack. You have to decide if it's worth the 3 b ...

Previously I had 250 pot and I thought the swell from 0 to 60 (an expression) was faster than in the 500 uf pot. Not sure if I'm correct in this assessment. It was a cool sound but not the one I want ...

I just re-adjusted my Goodrich to allow some minimum volume when floored off. It was quite easy, all I had to do was loosen the string that's attached to the bracket, tighten the string a little to th ...

I don't know how most steelers do it, but I like to have as my starting point of play, just a little bit on. So as I play I never go completely off , most of the time. I also like to silent tune and h ...

Not a thumb pick, but the Herco nylon

The magnet weight of the Hempdog is 80oz. WOW. Total weight is 16.3 PDS. That's a heavy dog. My second thoughts on this speaker or the Canisbis Rex, it might just muddy up what I have. I'm not interes ...

Tony, I play an old (dare I say vintage) long scale Fender 400. I also prefer the "bright Fender amp tone", and once replaced a 12" Black Widow with the Fender Special Design speaker be ...

I got my amp back after an absence, and it turns out the loop does work but is too noisy to use. Plus the amp is not as good as I remember, so I didn't even try cleaning the jacks. There was a reason ...

Narrow spacing is meant for meant for narrow minds.....just kidding. I use a Herco heavy guage nylon flat pick filed down some on the rough side. The tone I get off that rough side on my old Fender w ...

I would love one of those. First time I wanted a double neck. Rick, I imagine it compares to a Fender long scale in sound. Has any one made comparison. Saint Claus, where are you.[/b]

Got it, THANK YOU.

Thanks Lane; and I like your "barely sweetened", it works for me. You're probably more in tune with other members of the band than with other sweetened tunings. One more question...is D9 swe ...

Peter, I changed my mind about the Pitchlab Pro, the strobe screen is easy to read and very accurate to dial in. It also has the Young temperament. I also entered in the Newman settings. The differenc ...
