If you know anyone, Krank Cheetah Scream all hand wired Boost plus buffer: $50

Hand wired Dallas Rangemaster Treble Boost with original OC44 and rewire or standard 9v via Tony Krank: $100

Prototype HBE ParaDrive: $80

[Sleek]

Are any of those treble boosts, or just full-range?

The Rangemaster clone is a treble boost 9Dallas Rangemaster Treble Boost clone).
The ParaDrive is sorta like a TubeScreamer, so it does boost some treble and the other stage is full range.
The Cheetah Scream is a full range, clean boost.

[PrÎck]

Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of my little Champ XD, but that fucker toasted again. I think buying it is a post earlier in the thread. So this is twice. At least it has a warranty, but still it's a pain in the ass.

Jeez, man. Do you expect me to read the descriptions or something?

[ElToro]

Just itching to change up pedal sounds. I bought a Double Drive!

[ElToro]

New toys for anyone?

Anyone looking for an "old wood" Les Paul Project?

I may be getting a MAX SG this weekend...

[Sleek]

I need some pickups...lookin' for a couple vintage to low output humbuckers, lotsa midrange, with chrome or nickel covers.

Anybody sitting on any?

[ElToro]

Like what?

[Sleek]

Don't really care. If nothing pops up, I'll probably go with a couple GFS Retrotron Liverpools (I have one in my best sounding rock guitar bar none, great mids, punchy, articulate, cheap!) , but I figured I'd check around.

Some sort of "vintage PAF" style could do it, too. I had the Duncan Slash pickups in there (alnico 5s or whatever they are) and wasn't crazy about them. Now I have one of those in the neck and an Antiquity mini-hum in the bridge, which is okay, but it's time for a refit.

[OD3X1]

I've got a DiPinto Mach IV in CAR coming this week, can't wait. Wanted one for a while and finally found a used one for the right price. Kind of celebrating getting a real nice review in Classic Rock this month.

I'm buying that Schenker V!!

Anyone want to trade on those pedals?

[wattage13]

Schenker V, whoohoo! That'll rock. Love Schenker.

The DiPinto made it, pickups are awesome in this thing. Plays and sounds killer, shocked.

Hey if you guys can throw a vote down for my band The Heartless Devils I'd really appreciate it.

I done got my pickups and wired them in as well...gonna play both geetars at rahursul this weeked...I'll let ya know how they sound.

I went GFS...Little '59 mini hum in a semi hollow (replacing a P-90) and a Retrotron Nashville in a big heavy solid body.

I also put a ESP neck pup in that one, so both have chrome covers.

[ElToro]

I just got a modded SD1 for giggles... good GAS day.

I'm getting back into my long-delayed Les Paul Studio project guitar.Just ordered up a Tone Pros bridge but it seems that everyone is back-ordered on the Bigsby B7 that I really want on there right now though,so that's gonna hold me up for another while.I figure I may as well get it wired up in the meantime though.I was checking out wiring kits online and came across this one at WD Music.I'm not much of an electronics expert unfortunately,you guys think it'll do the job ok or should I just buy the parts I need separately?Most places around here don't have all the best quality parts in stock at the same time though.

http://www.wdmusic.com/les_paul_wiring_kit_long.html

I'm really itching to get this thing back up and running soon,it's been too long already.This guitar is an awesome player - or was anyways - before I stripped it down and refinished it lol.I've added chrome Grover tuners and a set of Duncan Phat Cats since this pic was taken

[ElToro]

All my pedals are gone and I bought a Zoom G3... great pedal, not digital sounding at all and the "boost" setting is awesome!

[ElToro]

Right now, I'm running a GFS tuner, Morley Maverick Wah, Keeley MOdded Boss Overdrive, Zoom G# and my Black Magic Box (sorta like my old Big Red Machine) that had an Optic Compressor, Carl's Custom Univibe, 80's FL9 Flanger and a Boss DD3 in it... any other toys to add?

[Sleek]

Tuner?

Wuss.

[ElToro]

Tuner?

Wuss.

hahah... double pussified since the G3 has a tuner also... Keef don't need no stinkin' tuner, why should I?

[Captain Morgan]

Anyone using an Egnater Tweaker? Thinking about the 40 watt head/cab. How reliable are these?

[ElToro]

Tweakers are great amps!
