I use JJ valves in my amp.

Sound good to me, but never really done much A/B testing against other valves.

I'm actually going down to my warehosue to fuck around with the Matamp tonight - gonna replace the EL34s with 6L6s or 5881s (or a mixture) - see if I can get a more metal sound out of the amp - get it a bit more scooped and some *chunk* to the palm mutes.

12??? Fucking hell. I managed to scam HotRox out of 2 of them. They were good on price.

unfortunately it does have twelve output and four preamp, which is a cunt for retubing. but when i get to crank it (well 3.5 on preamp and master vols) it sounds fucking huge

i have only in the last few weeks dialled the tone i want, so kinda hoping that the tubes dont make a great deal of difference to it

Does anyone remember that flash website where you could design your own guitars? I made a p-bass looking guitar on it and remember thinking it looked great, and I'm sure this was before this squier guitar came out....I should have patented it! :D

Ha! Yes, you were ahead of your time. Although I don't think I'll get flame maple for 76 quid!

Korg Tuner

Zvex Fuzz Factory

Digitech Whammy Wh-4

MI Audio Crunchbox

EHX Microsynth

EHX Small Stone

EHX Little Big Muff

EHX Metal Muff

Boss Tremolo

Boss DD6

Ernie Ball Volume Pedal

Boss Noise Suppressor

and if i manage to not blow all my money on alcohol, a Zvex Seek Wah

i built my board myself, it's even got a little shelf for placing my ipod (for controlling our backing tracks, haha) and my kaoss pad.

Now, to figure out a way of suitably powering everything....heh. Any suggestions for a good adaptor for powering multiple pedals?

So, I got my Squier 51. Pretty damn impressive for 76 notes. The type of guitar that makes you go "hmm" when you think about how much you've spent on other guitars.

The stock pickups actually sound good, but I'm going to replace them anyway, just for fun. Anybody here have any experience with GFS pickups? The get rave reviews on the web and they have bargain prices. It needs a tone control as well.

If anybody is in the market for an inexpensive Fender style guitar, I would recommend picking one of these up of ebay, definite bargains.

I've just lost the plot...

  • Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi (fnar, fnar)
  • Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi
  • Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser
  • Electro Harmonix Small Stone Chorus
  • Demeter Fat Control
  • Fulltone OCD (mmm, Fulltone *drool*)
  • Line6 Tonecore Constrictor
  • Digitech Hyper Flange (on it's way)
  • Boss TU-2
  • Boss CS-3 (Dusty?)
  • Boss DD-3
  • Morely Bad Horsie II Wah
  • Trailer Trash pedalboard
  • 1-Spot PSU

Just need to source a reverb pedal and that's me (for now ;) )

You need to think about modding that CS-3, Trust me you would like the sound, I can email you the schematic and instruction and parts list for it if you want.

Also could arrange for you to hear what they sound like modded.

Thanks - that would be sweet :up:
