    Pot value in Jake E. Lee's original white strat?

    If you're asking what Jake actually used so you can copy his tone, I'm not entirely sure, unfortunately. If I had to guess, it was probably a 500k pot. I think all of his sig models had a 500k pot? Not 100% sure, though. If you're wondering what is the best way to run two singles and a...

    Time vs. money for a refret

    Six months is wild and unacceptable IMO. For reference, I go to someone who is about mid to late 70s in age. His turnaround time for a full refret is a couple weeks to a month. For all intents and purposes, he's a one man show, too.

    Lexicon MPX1 Thoughts...?

    CCs/SysEx turning on/off portions of the algos is the way to get around lag between patches. You don't want to be changing patches in the middle of a song with these units. Doing it this way means you get more overall processing power for FX capabilities, but it also means rethinking how you run...

    Lexicon MPX1 Thoughts...?

    Two on TGP right now for $250 shipped that have been sitting for awhile and might accept lower offers, FWIW: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/lexicon-mpx-1.2630266/ https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/lexicon-mpx-1-and-rocktron-300g.2630415/

    Lexicon MPX1 Thoughts...?

    How are you comparing them? The G2 has the same algos as the MPX1 (and then some), only the G2 has the ability to forego using the pre-gain FX and provide further processing power to the post-gain FX. If you're comparing stock preset to stock preset, that's not really a fair assessment.

    Lexicon MPX1 Thoughts...?

    1. Amazing sounds, especially for the price. 2. Frustrating routing and understanding. You'll absolutely need to read the manual. 3. Absolutely requires a line mixer to properly use this. 4. If you're used to the ease of use of the G-Major/G-Force, it will probably be very frustrating to use...

    Michigan / Detroit people: Did Mike Koontz pass away?

    He has help. It's not just him. So in the event there did happen to be an issue, I'm sure the other two contacts would be able to assist. I plan on sending him a guitar next week, so we'll see what turnaround time is like. I always tell him to take his time and it's never a rush. Maybe I should...

    Michigan / Detroit people: Did Mike Koontz pass away?

    Koontz is still alive. Just called him! He's ready for guitars next week, too.

    Seasoned Micro Pitch Shift users advice requested

    Great news! I got another Eventide Eclipse! :D Bad news... It's also broken... Only this one is subtle. There's distortion on Channel 2 but only on some of the presets; not on all of them. Ironically, the preset labeled "Micropitch" is totally fine. I recreated the "Roodis Tones" style preset...

    JCM800 2204 Cameron HG Jose build thread

    That old Henning Plexrod that sah5150 made was kinda like that, if my memory is correct. Gain, Pre TS master, Post TS master, PPMIV all in one amp.

    The 2025 PRS Archon 50: A Classic Reimagined - DEMO & REVIEW

    It's an Archon with a clean channel that doesn't sound like the original clean channel, and a gain channel that doesn't sound like the original gain channel? :confused:

    Michigan / Detroit people: Did Mike Koontz pass away?

    What the fuck, did he? I was literally going to take my guitar to him next week. I know he had some health issues... Fuck dude... This is an insane loss to the community if it's true. I really don't know anyone else around here that has the attention to detail and care for guitars like he did.

    EVH EL34 50 Watt Blue Channel - Crap or Myth? Worth C137 mod?

    EL34 is cool. C137 cap on the 50 watt sounds wonky. Obviously, try it first to see if you like it, but if you don't, clip it. Note this isn't an issue on the 100w. Hell, even Howard Kaplan doesn't care for it and recommends clipping the cap if that says anything. See:

    The forgotten half of Racer X

    Saw him live with Paul during the G3 tour in Orlando. Amazing dude and didn't miss a single beat live. The Racer X albums are still filled with scary guitar licks to this day. Master class in harmonized shred right up there with Cacophony.
