El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I just prefer the hardtail on a V... it's just a fill... wanna buy a Kahler?

I have a few already, including that type that mounts to Gibson stop tailpiece studs on the back. But maybe, if the price is right; how much?

[ElToro]

CHEAP!

[ElToro]

anything new?

[dirtyroadie]

Just bought an Analogman King of Tone overdrive pedal.



Had to wait two years on a waiting list to get it, but it was worth it. It sounds amazing.

[ElToro]

2 years?!?!? I'm surprised no one is cloning them...

Here's my project for the week...

What are everyone's thoughts on the Voodoo Lab's "Giggity" and "Sparkle Drive"?

I'm hearing some Tube Screamer Keeley Mod sweetness in these (though it's debated whether the Keeley Mod is worth it in the first place?).

Thoughts?

I love the Sparkle Drive. The fact that a dry signal runs simultaneously gives it so much more in the way of dynamics.

[Captain Morgan]

Love the Sparkle Drive!

Just got a Timmy today...

[OD3X1]

if lerx isn't interested in that Kahler I am...

[ElToro]

Isn't there a wait on Timmy's?

[Captain Morgan]

Isn't there a wait on Timmy's?

Prymaxe Vintage had 15 Timmys and 15 Tims last night. I saw the Facebook update within a minute of it being posted and bought immediately.

I need to replace the strings on a Fender steel string acoustic. I paid 300.00 for the guitar, don't know much about guitars... a newbie. Can anyone recommend a brand of strings. Thanks.

Anyone have any companies they like for looper pedals for true bypass use on a board? I'm in love with the Loop-Masters http://www.loop-master.com - but the company proudly boasts a 2-4 month wait. I'm not holding up building my board for a looper. Any recommendations that sell quickly, good quality construction, and ship quick?

A USED Loop-Master would rule. Preferably 10 input staggered. -

Thoughts?

I am going to GC tomorrow to lighten the load and find some toy.

If anyone needs a Quadraverb, SPX90, Butler Blue Tube or Crate GT80 (3 12ax7s), let me know. I'm trading it all in for pedals.

[ElToro]

So, I scored on the GC trade:

and

........................
then scored this for $40 at the shop I dropped the Flying V for repair..

and this for $200 off Craigslist!!!


Now, I gotta sell some crap to justify all this.

[Sleek]

Q Zone is a great, great pedal. I have one myself.

[T.O.N. of green]

So, I scored on the GC trade:

What is that. More specifically, what are those things on the fingerboard. Those frets look gigantic.











.

[Gibsonite]

I believe they're called Globman frets

[ElToro]

Sorry, big frets, but the camera is a bit blurry... it's Peavey's EBX (?).. basically an imported Cirrus.

Sleek.. post a pic of that giant white guitar!

[ElToro]

My Gutierrez Juggernaut arrived early!

[ElToro]

any new toys?

[ElToro]

Nothing? Crickets?

[Tenacious_Dio]

Nothing? Crickets?

This came in last week:

I thought would post this here because Decibel 11 makes cool stuff but ...more so because...the guitar player in the video is Craig Collins Tuner. A few people here know him from the old days. I thought it was great to see him playing again. One of the best guitar players I've ever seen.

He was Randy's immediate successor at Musonia if I recall.

I did some wiring and setup work on friend's Flying V, then played it at a rehearsal for a couple hours.

...now I think I need one

They're much harder to find that other stuff.

Ever thought of buying a DIY V project?

[Sleek]

Thought about it, but it's gotta be one of the classier looking ones. I don't want it to look metal at all...

[ElToro]

You could make it very vintage looking.

[ElToro]

I impulse bought this.

She's actually a great set neck mahogany and maple guitar, but just not fitting any needs.
I'll trade or sell her inexpensively.
