    How to TS footswitches with more than one function work?

    I have a Diezel D-Moll but would really like to build a footswitch that would actually fit on my pedalboard. The FS7HE runs by TS cable but can control up to 7 different functions. How are they doing that and can it be DIYed in a smaller box? I don't need the mute function BTW but everything...

    Fair value on a Rev G Dual Rectifier?

    Edit: he just emailed that he sold it after receiving a bunch more offers and someone willing to show up this morning. He had it priced at $1K which seemed very good but wasn't sure if there was anything else to pay attention to. Original info: It's a big logo but the knobs have the pointers on...

    Origin of the Peavey 5150/6505 - VTM or SLO?

    I've read/heard that the Peavey 5150 was the next stage of evolution of the VTM series. The VTM is essentially a Marshall MV circuit with a bunch of mods that can be turned on/off using the dip switches. But then I've heard that the 5150 is a shameless copy of the Soldano SLO in many respects...

    Need a short block tremolo recommendation

    I’ve built a Jazzmaster body from scratch. Unfortunately, I made it near real Jazzmaster spec, which is thinner than a Strat without considering the trem. The guitar is about 42mm thick which is too thin for standard Strat tremolo blocks. I had intended to install a Gotoh 510ts-fe1 in Cosmo...

    Any recs on getting my D-Moll to cut in the mix a bit better?

    I'm playing in a two guitar group and just getting buried. The other guitarist is using an Orange Rockerverb 50 into the PPC212OB (open back with Vintage 30's). I'm running my D-Moll into a Fryette Fatbottom with Fane F70Gs. Generally alternating between an Edwards Les Paul Cystin style with a...

    Recs on where to get good guitar top wood?

    I'm taking a woodworking class through the local community college and was able to find a nice 8/4 Black Limba board that I've now slip matched into two body blanks. One of the blanks has all of the nice Black Limba grain so won't need a top, but the other is relatively plain, so would benefit...

    Chicago area amp tech recommendations

    I'm looking for a really good Marshall guy who would do a good job of cleaning up, doing any necessary maintenance, and reverting my 4010 to stock if it isn't already. Then I want them to add in the Metro loop (I've already bought the kit). The amp already has two holes drilled in the back that...

    Price check an old Marshall cab?

    This is tagged as a 1981 or 1982 Marshall 1960 with Celestion G12-80's. The head sitting on it is not for sale. The one T number I can make out from the photo is T2876, which gives this from Bygone Tones: T2876 G12-80 Ceramic 15 Ohm cone stamp - 444 - Marshall label So this does seem like...

    NAD: Marshall JCM800 4010

    And it rocks! I’m thinking probably early ‘84 due to the S serial number and vertical inputs. There are two holes in the back… I’m guessing they were an effects loop. Haven’t had the circuit checked for mods. Also has an unvented T3760 G12T-75. Black label with a white stripe through it...

    In praise of the DiMarzio Area 58 and Area 67 pickups

    I just did a partscaster for a very good friend of mine. He wanted noiseless single coils to go with a humbucker bridge. I did a bunch of research, and decided to do the rare thing of mixing pickup brands: Neck: DiMarzio Area 58 Middle: DiMarzio Area 67 Bridge: Seymour Duncan TB-4 (sue me...

    4x12 cab (Fatbottom) speaker replacement issues

    Hey fellas. I've got a VHT FB412-P50E. I am trying to swap out the speakers, and I noticed a couple of issues. 1. A couple of the T-nuts have come out. I tried to get them back in through the other speaker holes but no joy. How the hell can I get the screws out so that I can remove the...

    espquade did me right

    Bought the Fane F70G quad off of espquade. Speakers arrived two days after I sent payment. Haven't been able to install them yet but everything seems in order. They were packed well. Great communication!
