    Tones that make you go "Whoa!"

    Came here to post this. My all-time favorite guitar tone.

    Anyone ever tried Quitter amps?

    I used to work for a retailer that was one of the first to pick up the Quilter line, and I did a bunch of YouTube demos on them back in the day. I never really cared for the drive channels, but as a clean pedal platform they're quite cool. I even owned a Quilter Aviator head for a while and...

    Anyone have a BE Deluxe modded to make it meaner?

    The Koko sounded good before I took out the resister, now it sounds hilariously good. Interested to hear your findings. Also, for you guys smarter about this stuff than I am, is this same resistor present on the Smallbox? I'm so over the moon with what removing it did to my BE-100 that now I'm...

    Anyone have a BE Deluxe modded to make it meaner?

    Interesting. No volume difference on mine between BE and HBE after removing the resister and replacing it with a wire.

    Anyone have a BE Deluxe modded to make it meaner?

    I was genuinely considering letting it go because as great as it sounds, it just didn't work for my style of playing. I always go back to my Splawn or Wizard. This simple change though gives me more of that tightness and punch that I love about those other amps, but with a great loop and a good...

    Anyone have a BE Deluxe modded to make it meaner?

    Holy crap! I just pulled the resister between the volume and treble pot, and I'm floored. Way more open, aggressive and punchy. I can also hit it harder with an overdrive or boost without it smushing out. Thanks so much for this!

    Anyone have a BE Deluxe modded to make it meaner?

    I may give this a try. Do I need to replace it with a jumper wire from the treble wiper to the master volume or can I just pull the resister out?

    Andy Timmons

    If I could snap my fingers and play like anyone, it would be Andy. He's absolutely incredible.

    What do you guys pay for refrets?

    The last two I had done were when I was still in Portland, OR a few years ago. I had an explorer done for $590 and my Les Paul Custom done with stainless steel for $700. That's definitely on the higher end, but it's a pricey city and their overhead is high. You can get it done for a lot less in...

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to turn 37 because of this very scene. "I'm 37" "What?" "I'm 37, I'm not old"

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    I can turn that movie on and pretty much go line for line with it. It's not the world's most useful superpower, but I have it haha. Thanks man!

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    Oh man! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Nice! Yeah that's what did it for me too. I have a few Suhrs and the stainless frets are just so smooth that I decided to refret this one with them too. My bridge had also collapsed, so all in one shot I did the frets, graphite nut, TonePros bridge...

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    Thanks! It's been a slower recovery than I would've liked, but I'm getting there. After not being able to do a lot of playing outside of teaching and mostly using digital amp solutions for Zoom lessons, it was fun to fire this thing up and go for it. It's also cool thinking about how this...

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    Probably not teaching 40 guitar lessons every week would've helped immensely! :doh: Thanks! Yep, that was me. I used to do product demos for a retailer, but that was something that I ended up doing for my own neglected YouTube channel. I enjoy making videos, but I don't really know if the...

    Les Paul + Suhr Aldrich + Wizard = Win

    I fractured my left wrist at the end of October, and I'm just now getting to the point where I can start pushing my playing a little again. I teach about 40 guitar lessons per week, so it's been...interesting. I decided to fire up my 1996 Wizard Modern Classic and see if I could do any Zakk...

    Van Halen with a fractured wrist.

    I fractured my wrist a few months back, and when you teach dozens of guitar lessons every week, it's pretty nerve-wracking. Just this week I'm noticing that while playing wider stretches is still uncomfortable, I'm not getting pangs of pain anymore. So at least that's a step in the right...

    New Yamaha Pacifica models

    Even the entry level Pacificas are absolutely phenomenal for the money. These are likely killer.
