    Tuki covers ... worth it?

    For me, Studio Slips. 360 degree protection with the clamshell covers.

    Not sure how handy you are on working on amps, but the "mod" to switch KT88s to EL34's is stupid simple. Just desolder (or snip) one leg of a piggybacked resistor for the bias pot. (I used shrinkwrap to make sure it didn't rattle around). If you ever want to go back to stock, just re-solder...

    Hey Mike. I posted this in another thread, but figured I'd re-post, and expand upon my thoughts here: While I'm not a Shiva expert, I have pretty good experience in the different models. Here's some info. Standard EL34 model. If you're digging the Justin Derrico Tone, this is where you'd want...

    A question about el34 Shiva heads

    While I'm not a Shiva expert, I have pretty good experience in the different models. Here's some info, in no particular order: - The gain structure on the 20th is identical to the Regular EL34 - IF you have the "mode" switch dis-engaged. Same basic gain taper. But activating the gain "mode"...

    Need help choosing pedalboard size! (pics) Advice please.

    Photoshop. I'm a graphic designer, so I'll just image search for pics of the pedals, and then hack together a layout mockup.

    Need help choosing pedalboard size! (pics) Advice please.

    That's actually what I'm doing currently. I have two identical PT2 Pedaltrains. But I was hoping to condense to one board, sell off my duplicate pedals, and cash in.

    Ridiculous. OCD. I hear these words often from friends when describing my personality. :lol: :LOL:

    Dude you have no idea... I'm horrible. :doh:

    Need help choosing pedalboard size! (pics) Advice please.

    I'll be honest. The one thing holding me back from ordering the 16x28 right now is the fact that the soft-case that you get is 2" too big on the top and bottom. If it was a snug fit, I'd buy this thing immediately. Is that insane? I don't really need the ATA case, but I'm going to be...

    Need help choosing pedalboard size! (pics) Advice please.

    So, I'm in the market for a new pedalboard. I've decided to get a nice Trailer Trash ProSeries board. Lately, I've been doing a ton of fill-in gigs with a wide variety of cover bands, as well as a lot more studio sessions at a local recording studio. So I want a board that can cover all bases...

    Low watt Bogners...

    Here's a demo I did of the Duende Fast forward to 3:20 for drive tones. mpjZ86HuT2k

    Low watt Bogners...

    The Duende really was phenomenal. I just couldn't justify keeping it solely for a studio/practice amp. I built a Tweed Deluxe 15W clone with my dad, and decided to just keep that for super low volume gigs, since it was a combo (and sounded great). But I miss the Duende at times. The Duende...

    Low watt Bogners...

    I had a 15 Watt Duende, which came darn close to that Shiva sound on the drive channel.

    Any Ultex users? JP sig pick?

    I noticed this as well. I used some digital calipers, and they actually WERE really close. Perhaps it's just a percieved thing, based on flexibility of one batch to another?

    NGD!! Long awaited extended cutaway tele

    VERY cool! I love how it's very undetectable from the front. Steathy. One comment - if it were *my* guitar, that pickguard would drive me nuts. Doesn't seem to match the contours of the cutaway/horn properly. That guitar deserves a fresh pickguard, cut to precision fit.

    Bogner Red demo, best I've seen.

    Funny, I just "discovered" this dude last night and his other awesome demos. WHO is this guy? Homeboy can PLAY.

    I want a Les Paul

    Yeah Bob, you can get tons of 90's and early 00's Standards and Classics in that price range, maybe even less. And they're great guitars. I tried to convince myself for a while that my LP was just too big and clunky for gigging. And then at a recent gig, I brought my 01 Standard with me...
