Pieces of Peavey. Taking it to the amp tech tomorrow for treatment. Near as I can tell it just needs a bunch of resistors or transistors (the brown things with the colored bands) and new tubes and to be wired back together. I don't really know about these things but I don't imagine it should be too expensive tubes aside.

holy shit! I didn't know you got the cat butt edition.

Good luck with the Peewee icarusfall.

Yeah that's an awesome one. If it was ten bucks I'd have it already. Do you have one of those are you just pointing out awesomeness?

I've wanted that thing pretty much since I started on the guitar. It delivers too. The fuzz is nice, one of the nicer I got, but it really shines as an overdrive. I run it into that little Blackheart on the 3 watt setting, leave the fuzz all the way off, max the volume on the BH and get it up to about three fourths on the CP and it just fucking barks. I'm going to go mess around with it after this post. As far as price goes I learnt a valuable lesson getting the $200 Creepyface and the $40 Tonefancier in the same week. The latter is the better pedal. So from now on when I buy a fuzz worth $200 I'm not paying $200.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

For my next project I'm going to build a Super Lead.

Spoken with confidence! Does that mean the supergun is back in action?

This is the Concertone.

It goes without saying that the Ampeg and Orange gear is epic, but that Concertone has been bugging me since you made that post. Where in the fuck is the transformer(s)? Am I high on tweak or is there no visible transformer. I see the speaker is the kind that could have a transformer bolted to the frame but where is the transformer? I sure would like to hear that amp. I bet it's awesome.

So those P94 pickups are the motherfucking JOINT. Seriously. I have that thousand dollar Gibson that is awesome and sounds like a thousand dollar guitar. I have also a one hundred dollar guitar and I added a set of one hundred dollar pickups. Now it sounds like a million bucks. So when I think about that Gibson I can't help but think that one thousand is only one one thousandth of a million. So I think I'll add some radical tuners to that Epiphone because it doesn't stray in tune as well as the Gibson.

I've been hanging out at Soldano alot lately. They said I can use their drill press or any other tool I need when it comes time to do that little Blackheart turret board mod. That warmed my heart. I also (through random chance and good timing) got to participate in the final Eminence neodymium magnet test. They suck and got sent back. SCREW YOU NEODYMIUM

I'll record a ramones cover next time mykozo and I are at the studio at the same time. You pick the song. I promise not to eq it or anything and just send you a wav file. Then you can JO in2 a tornado.

I love Gibsons, but one thing I have found to be true about them is that they are a bit muddy/bottom heavy, which is badass for heavy rhythm guitar work. I've found them mostly to be a pain in the ass to record well though. They always seem to lack the bite of other guitars, and tweeking the amp out to try to make them a bit brighter results in more shreeking, ear fucking buzz than it does bite. I suppose it takes the right guitar/amp combo to really make SG's come alive. I can imagine a new set of pickups that are not as dark sounding as the stock ones being a nice change of tone. Post some audio/youtube or some shit like that.

[PaCrappa]

You pick the song.

I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement plz

Post some audio/youtube or some shit like that.

I can probably manage a youtube or two some time soon. I'm so in love with these pickups. I've actually been thinking of buying the other set he had and putting them in the Gibson.

Gibson pickups + Fender amp = oooh baby. Well, as long as you're not looking for a lot of overdrive. Fender overdrive is kind of stupid.
