    Is there a newer delay pedal with a clean boost?

    I'm afraid the Boost part is meant 'pre-amp', while @romanianreaper is looking for an fx-loop based volume boost together with the delay. See:

    Can we talk about Matt Heafys guitar strap?

    Agreed. Only Dime, Gary Holt and Anthrax get a pass for that. I remember discussing this with my own (cover)band, when we played some shows together with international touring acts...When everyone was back stage and these guys would walk out through the venue, just by looking at them, you'd...

    Official Mesa IIC++ Reissue?

    Curious to know if you ever tried the Boss OD-3 (and if you compared it to the OD1X)? I've always liked the OD-3 for 3 reasons: 1) from those older Boss pedals it had the most natural stand-alone light overdrive. 2) it had more volume on tap than an SD-1 for instance, which made it very useable...

    what a disaster

    I do like the neck and offset dots... the rest, hmm, not so much.

    Crap, I meant 'Eliminator' instead of that overly synthy 80's "Afterburner" and I forgot "Among the Living" as essential under Anthrax. Oopsie.:rolleyes:

    The Van Halen Brown Sound (1978) by Jacob Deraps

    While simultaneously posting Rockstah modded overly gained clips that sound not as close, but to him sound more true to EVH...?? One can only hope Dave Friedman shoots him down a few times more. ?

    The Van Halen Brown Sound (1978) by Jacob Deraps

    I upgraded a few other components, added a toggle switch to switch the input cap between stock (10nF) and 33nF for use with single coils, but the two main changes that help in getting a slightly cleaner (less fuzzy) and louder and more crunchy signal: replace the silicon diodes with green 5mm...

    The Van Halen Brown Sound (1978) by Jacob Deraps

    That he can and even if you only got maybe 70-80% of the tone down, actually being able to play properly in the EVH style (that specific swing in "I'm the One" for instance) will truly help sell it more, than some guy who's got all the right gear (mystery pots on the back of amp and all...

    The Van Halen Brown Sound (1978) by Jacob Deraps

    To be fair, his starting riff sounded a bit too grainy/raspy and the flanger was a tad on the too chorussy side of things. Almost like an Ibanez flanger opposed to an MXR. The original's base tone is ever so slightly less hairy, more bouncy/syruppy and the flanger has more typical jet flangy...

    Gibson Announces Limited Mark IIC++

    You know, at this point I'd prefer an old-style block logo 'LTD' over the E-II logo, provided the LTD is a decent level guitar and not some beginner's 200/400 series. If I can find an LTD Horizon Custom '87 (H-S) used in the next couple of years for a lot less than their current (IMO...

    Gibson Announces Limited Mark IIC++

    Mine doesn't, thank you very much. :cool: But that E-II logo bullshit doesn't fly with me. Nor do all the Kirk ESP's with cheesy graphics... That all blacked out LPC however... :unsure:I'm kinda contemplating changing the hardware to all black on my black Burny LPC. Shit looks good. Did it with...
