    Best delay for SLO loop?

    TC Electronics Flashback works great. But you need to disable true bypass and enable the return buffer so the signal stays string. Most TC Electronic Pedals have a Return buffered output that can be switched on, by default it is off set to true bypass. The issue with the SLO beside the line...

    Really fed ex

    Smart Post is a cheap way for FedEx to get the USPS to deliver your package. They pay USPS a cheap rate. USPS handles these shipments as the lowest priority, so smart post will take longer that normal USPS and FedEx. Never use smart post. Many that offer free shipping use it.

    LED strip with 640Ma draw via a Boss TU3, from a VL PP2+?

    Run the LED's of a separate power supply. Your current power supply doesn't have enough power. Also LED's are nothing but diodes switching ON/OFF, they could inject noise in your signal path, so it is best to use a separate power supply. This website https://www.superbrightleds.com/ has...

    Effects loop ruining a pedal?

    Line Level (rack gear, etc) is +4dB and guitar level is around -10dB or even slightly lower. So even if the loop is hot, it shouldn't cause issues unless there is something else amiss. Could be an issues with the input jack ground. As with many pedals, when you plug a guitar in, it completes the...

    Did Rocktron fly under the radar here with their tube preamp

    Using pedals in front of a high-gain amp

    Pedals usually don't add noise. What happens is when using a daisy chain power supply or a non isolated power supply the digital pedal grounds and analog pedal grounds will give you noise due to ground loop issues. Using a power supply with isolated outputs is a must with any pedal board.

    Jason Becker Carvins

    Carvins are excellent guitars. They are modern built with CNC to precise standards as many good guitars are and made in the USA. They have gotten better aesthetically as far as the shapes and designs go. Resale is low because you don't have the big endorsement cred as they don't pay people to...

    Who invented resonance circuit in some high gain amps?

    Actually been used for 50 years! But in most applications it was a fixed value so it was not adjustable. It is a simple filter on the negative feedback supply. Been used widely on many tube amps. Bogners, use the fixed values on the Ubers, and XTC. Basically what the Excursion does, but you...

    Duncan Custom SH5: muddy?

    Muddy would be the last thing I would associate with a custom. One of my favorite pickups. Very tight with a nice upper mid attack. Could be wiring. Keep in mind Dimarzios and Duncan's use different wiring schemes.

    Mesa Cab Clone info??

    I bought one, sent it back after 20 minutes. Mesa's clips are bogus, notice the amps they used in the clips were all miced up.

    I picked up an EMG 57

    The EMG site does have the specs listed. Look up the installation instructions the specs are there. Looks like the output is the same as all other offerings except for the X series.

    A Wondrous Adventure: SLO Clone Build (Now with Clips)

    Keep in mind the Sprague 716P are polypropylene capacitors and the original slo used Philips polyester caps, these too resembled orange drops but they are entirely different. The original SLO Philips caps are much closer to a Mallory 150 that those Sprague orange drops. The spragues will have...

    New Telefunken Black Diamond EL-34

    Just relabeled JJ power tubes, funny how they say increased grid (screen voltage) handling. Well if you look at the data sheets it is the same as the standard JJ tube. The grid voltage handling is 450v, just like the standard JJ tube. Just another revenue stream for JJ. Just like the New Sensor...

    Can We please get some new EL34 options?

    With the Russian and Ukraine mess, it wouldn't surprise me if New Sensor has supply issues

    Did Lynch tour for the Sacred Groove album?

    I was at that show in Phoenix, and he didn't do Satans shorts. He just did the end of show blues Jam along with Vai and Satriani and Eric Johnson. Red House, etc.

    Lynch's 1988 Soldano SLO

    The Purple plexi was used for leads on that album, and the SLO was used for many of the rhythm tracks. There are plenty of videos of him in the studio when he did a REH instructional video playing through the purple plexi
