Okay, I went to guitar center on friday, trying all the overdrive/distortion pedals through a Vox Ad50(Just like mine), and I was amazed. No pedal's that I tried gave me quot;the tonequot; I was looking for. It might have been the guitars I was trying them with, but it just didn't give me what I wanted. NOTE: I only tried Boss and Digitech pedals. I could not find the Rat or any other brands like Rocktron.
So what did I do? Nothing, I just left home and considered getting a foot switch and a ge-7. The overdrive on my amp is what I want, and I wanna see how well I can tweak my cleans(they're a little distorted when picked hard). I didn't try a Tube Screamer(it was there) or a rocktron pedal, but I think I'm just going to have this setup for small gigs:

A neighbor is selling his Randall head and cab, and RH 200 SC, with a 4X12 cab. I know nothing about Randall tone or price. He is asking $600 for the both. I haven't played it yet, probably won't be able to fit it inot my schedule for a few days. I just wanted to get some info from the Randall experts here. Thanks.

I want to Distortion pedalfor Blues. I have Bad Monkey and love it. It works well for me to give anoverdrive tone. I tried out the Scremin Blues but I am not sure as i felt it was bit too bright? But maybe I did not give it too much a chance too. But after my experience with The Bad Monkey, I am thinking abouth the scremin blues. what would u guys recommend. I play classic rock and blues sometimes hard rock. My main guitar has a JB. and my other guitar is a strat copy, if that matters. I was kind of leaning to the Blues Driver, after listing to sound clipsI want a warmer tone.

I have a beloved Nashville B Bender Tele that I want some input on. I am toying with the idea of replacing the bridge pup with some kind of humbucker. Does Duncan make a pup with these specs: Humbucker in single coil size (must fit into Tele bridge pup space. No reroutes), nice hot humbucker sound with the ability to split coils for a more traditional Tele sound without being too thin. Does this exist in some capacity or another?

in the style of EMG's? what do people think of the tone that active bass pickups deliver? i like the iron maiden steve harris bass tone, for that style, but i also like a lot of the newer bass tones in some metal bands like slayer, in flames, and children of bodom, which use like, EMG DC 35's or something. any input would be appreciated!

Finally got my set of ANT's installed in my LP Classic that I got off my friend. These things are just amazing. Through my Fender Twin, getting great Mick Taylor/BluesBreakers tones.
Put a set of 59's in my Michaelkelly Patriot LP, seths were good in it, but since it is a lighter guitar and I was going for more of a Wheels of Fire tone I got a set of 59's put in. AMAZING in that guitar. Those pups were built for that guitar.

OK, I bought two humbuckers for my guitar, I installed a Seth Lover at the bridge and a Jazz at the neck, I have seperate volume and tone pots on each with a 3 way switch.
I used this wiring diagram

For a while, at least.

My goal with this guitar build was to create an 80’s style shredder. This really isn’t my usual type of guitar style taste, but I figured I might as well do something different than what I already have and the 80’s nostalgia has been hitting heavy recently as I reminisce about a Charvel I sold back in the early 90’s and wish I hadn’t.
It had a nice candy red finish with the trademark Jackson style crooked headstock.

Does anyone know if the American Deluxe Stratocasters (the HSH in particular) are routed deeper than the regular (SSS) Strats, to accept the humbuckers?

I bought a Morley quot;Little Alligatorquot; a while ago because it's active, buffered and the adjustable minimum volume knob seemed like a great idea. Unfortunately, the taper is just too abrupt for me.

I just got the following email from stewmac about the problem with E model Megaswitch. I recently got three of them and none of them worked. I was about to give a call to return them but hey they are taking an action!

Do you guys run two TubeScreamers in series or whatever fuzz box to get the really cool overdrive stuff? Did SRV use multiple TubeScreamers? or do you just send the one you have to stratdeluxer?

This is SERIOUS crazy gas... and I havn't battled gas for a long time now... since I have the guitar of my dreams... now I have new dreams:

I was planning on adding some double black replacement pickups to my butterscotch 68RI, but someone suggested removing the pickguard and going with zebra. So I made a little mock-up and, well, personally, I think I'm leaning towards the left, as it looks like a traditional LP custom - which do you prefer?.
.

Anyone have any experience with these?? I'm thinking about getting one for my studio. Opinions please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the black (alder) strat body is on it's way and this thing is going to need some new pickups. Let's say that this guitar was going to be taken along on a business trip for a few months and this one guitar should cover all the bases. I mean from classic rock to country to metal to blues to the Floyd. HH? HSH? SSS with some s/c sized buckers? Push/pulls are definately an option.

I've got two Fender grey bobbin single coils. I think they was made in December of 73. Atleast that's what one of the stamps say on the bottom. They're wound to about 5.4K or so. Flat poles too. Got some black coil wire. I've also got an 80's Fender single coil, but it's got a formed black plastic bobbin. I cant remember the exact code on the bottom, buit I remember it being from the 80's. Same flat poles, same black coils. As a set, how much do you think these are worth? Oh yeah, the 80's one was replaced by me on a customers strat, cause it was RWRP for the other two pickups. The guy got tired of 'em after awhile and got some DMZ's. Anyway, I tried searching ebay, and wasnt finding a whole lot on these things.

I know you can custom order guitars through Heritage and request certain neck profiles, but what is the quot;standardquot; neck profile for the 150. Is it a rounded 59 type neck or the slimmer 60's style?
