im looking to pick up a peavey classic 30 and im wondering if anyone can help me modify the footswitch to better suit my needsi love the tone of the amp but i have/had gripes about the shared eq. given i set the eq flat....is it possible to take a basic A/B pedal, lengthen the wires that connect to the switch itself, and run the wires into the C30 footswitch and mount the A/B switch literally just millimeters away from the channel select switch on the C30 footswitch so i could step on them both at the same time? if youve seen the C30s footswitch you know its got plenty of room and could easily accomodate the additional switch...basically i would like somebody to tell me if its doable or not.

Tried a Classic 30 today. One of the best sounding amps i have played. Looks like i'm going to be leaving the behringer 212 at school for jazz band, so i need a new amp for home. The classic 30 might be the one. I have an upper spending limit of about $500. A good SS amp would be fine too, but tube would be prefferable. Suggestions? I almost bought the peavey today.

So yesterday I had about half an hour at home alone and nothing to do- so I thought I'd do an experiment. I thought maybe the bandit sounded bad at high gain because the speaker wasn't moving enough, so I cranked it up as loud as it would go without resonating so loudly it picked up on recording, stuck an sm57 on the center cone and went to it. Took me about 10 minutes to get a tone that didn't sound overly muddy and a bit to get the hooked up and stuff so I had only 10 minutes to record as many clips as possible- they're messy to be sure. I used a boss os-2 to push it.

What do you make of this pedal?

I'm looking for pickups to compare with the Pearly Gates as far as tone and output are concerned. I'd really love to get a set of Pearly Gates, and I probably will eventually, but I need a similar pickup that I can get with a chrome cover. I know I can get one from the Custom Shop, but I really can't afford to pay that kind of price to have a cover put on it. I was thinking maybe a Gibson 490 set or BurstBucker set would closely compare, or maybe DiMarzio Air Nortons or some type of DiMarzio Airbucker with the new Chrome Tops option. I read on here somewhere today that DiMarzio's Airbucker pickups incorporate some sort of spacing between the magnet and it gives the pickup a tone that closely resembles an A2 pickup. Anyway, that's what I'm looking for, unless someone knows where I can find a chrome covered Pearly Gates.

I don't know much of the lyrics, but it goes, quot;mommy alright, daddy's alrightquot;. I heard it on the Detroit Rock City movie, then at my friends bass teachers gig. Anybody know it?

I took the pickgaurd off an epi lp, to stay that way,, now there's a screw hole. Should I put the screw back in, maybe Nail polish it the same color? Try to fill the hole? I've got Valentines red with sparkles nail polish, real close match.

Hello everybody!

I recently bought a Duncan Distortion for my Guild bluesbird, which if some you have never seen one is basically a (very sweet) Les Paul with a chambered body. It came stock with a 59 set which was sweet but not a metal pick up. Thats ok because i have an ibanez hollow body that would do great with a 59 in the bridge position, and soon a Jazz in the neck. Any way iI really liked the DD but heard a tone on a skillet album that really had a quot;growlquot; to it and decided to try an sh-5 custom as a seymour rep said it had more of a lower mid sound while the DD had more of an upper midrange sound. I was torn between the two, DD and DC. So i sent back the DD to and exchanged it for the custom. I had very high hopes for this pick up as so many of you seem to like it. Well, i put it in and to my ears it was muddy. I tend to think this is becuase my guitar being semi- hollow/ Mahogany has so much lower mids any way. Then theres my amp which is a recto and when you raise the gain on the modern channel it seems to accentuate the lower mids too, so I think it was over-kill. I Think in tha right axe it would be a killer pick up. I am going to send back the Custom and try a JB. I was wondering has any one else ever found the custom to be a bit muddy in their axe? Do you think the JB will sound better. I am kind of going for kind of a quot;Linkin Parkquot; rythym Tone. I am Keeping my 59 in the neck for now as i like the tone for solos, and i usually use the neck pick up to shred at least on this guitar. Any input i would be appreciated.
