I plugged my Valvetronix 120 watt head into my Stereo Marshall V30 4x12...tonight.
Now the British tones,especially the Marshall tones,are beefy and the mids are right..The BF 2x12 tones still sound really good,except the tones only project foward and without the spaciousness the open back cab provides,but the tone is clean,tight,and headroomy...LOL The JCM 800 and 900 tones are very convincing through this cabinet..I didn't get a chance to mess with the quot;Plexiquot; setting because it got late,but I'll do that tomorrow..

whats the dillio?
i ordered a duncan antiquity II neck, ant. I texas hot bridge, and a rw/rp ant II middle for strat. i had it in my mind which pickup was the rw/rp middle, and the regular neck. it told me on the box, and i remembered which one i opened. then i heard with rp pickups, you put the pole-pieces facing eachother, and if they attract, its rp. i tried this, and it turns out that what i thought the neck pickup was, attracts both the bridge and quot;middlequot; pickups. so i placed what i thereafter believed was the right pickups in place. but i took a glance at the wires, and looking at them with the pickguard upside- down, the middle and bridge pickups have the white wire coming out of the right side and the black wire coming out of the left side, but the neck pickup has it reversed...... WHATS GOING ON HERE?

Building a Volume Box, wiring question
Alright i got this idea from an item i saw on ebay.
The basic function is a volume box that goes into the FX loop of a tube amp to allowing the tubes to be driven but it controls the overall volume (like a volume pedal).

Pickup Combo Suggestions?
Whats up everyone? New to the board here, hope you guys can help me.
I just got a Carvin DC727C 7 String. The Body is Alder with a Quilted Maple Top. The Neck is Maple with 2 Koa Stripes and the Board is Ebony(if that matters). It has Active/Passive Electronics and I'm thinking about replacing the pickups. I'm looking for a Vai/Petrucci kind of sound but I also want the neck pickup to be able to produce a great Jazz sound. So basically I want a good Progressive Rock/Metal sound while also being able to get a good Jazz sound from the Neck Pickup. I was considering putting a Dimarzio Evo7 in the Bridge and maybe a Blaze in the Neck. I know the Blaze can produce a good Jazz sound but Dimarzio's Tech Support told me that maybe an Air Norton 7 would be better for the Neck. Can anyone give me any good suggestions on a pickup combo. Any brand really...as long as it fits what I want. Also, would the Duncan Jazz Humbucker be good for the Neck Position? Thanks a lot, Marc

Routing for a neck single?
I have a guitar that is rear routed for the single humbucker configuration. Would routing for a neck single coil be impossible since the controls are right under the volume and tone knob and there is no pickguard, just mounting rings...

Stripping Squire finishes?
There's a squire body somebody has for sale that i'm very interested in--only thing is I'd def want to change the fnish. I guess I have a few questions about it. first--are all squire finishes the same? which finishes are easier to remove, and are there different method of removing different types of finishes?
