Hello all, I recently entered into a giveaway ran by Griffin Analog and won a Super Drive pedal!! My main amp is out of commission for the time being, but I couldn't hold off on a review any longer. All testing was done through my little 4w Vox tube amp. First off, before even plugging the...

This is an odd one. I have a EuroTubes Bias Probe, the cheap one for around $20. I have used it a number of times successfully in the past. Well, I pulled it out of my little gear bag, which is admittedly a bit cramped at times, and plugged it up to bias a set of RCA NOS outputs. Not...

Hello all, Short one here. I went to a local shop and was trying various guitars off the wall. The setups could have been better but that is not what was throwing me off about the guitars I was trying. The two player series guitars I picked up with maple boards had some very obvious flaws...

Did anyone here actually drop 3k on this amp??? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WazaHead--boss-waza-amp-150-watt-head It's OK, you don't have to be embarrassed.... You should be, but we all make mistakes LOL I mean, really, who is dropping 3k on some Boss solid state head? Wtf. I'd...

Hello RT brothers and sisters! Just wanted to let you all know that my second child was born 12/21. Home birth, just like the first. What a really wonderful way to have children. Wife was up and around like normal 30m after delivering. Longer laboring and slower process on the first, this one...

Hello all, Some years ago I picked up a used Vox AC4TV used at the local shop I was giving lessons at. Used to be the owner/my friend's little gigging amp. Had a cool tone when used with my partscaster 'Zed' so I picked it up. After using it on and off for a couple years or so now, the amp was...

Hello all, My buddy handwired (First time!) a little 5w Fender tweed amp. He is an older guy who is experienced in electronics repair and all of that jazz. The amp has 2 inputs and a volume control. THAT'S IT. He hand built a little cabinet for it and, very heavily influenced by myself, and...

Hello all! I went on a wide search for a chorus/vibrato pedal because.... Well... I guess I figured I needed to waste more money on gear that isn't really needed.... Anywho, I spanned the interwebs listening to countless demos and the normal thing. For whatever reason, I landed on a Strymon...

THIS LISTING SOLD ON ANOTHER SITE: Hello all, This is my first listing on RT but I have had a number of sales on Reverb. I bought a Wampler Metaverse and have barely used it. In excellent condition. Comes with the box and the goodies, including the feet I never used or stuck on. Sounds...

Hello all! Just thought I'd share something I thought was neat. I have a JP157. Not that special in itself but I have 1 of only 2 made that have a roasted Birdseye board. The paint is also more suited to match the MM variant over the Sterling. I actually spoke with a guy who worked with...

It's late, so forgive any mistakes or typos here: I found the best tube combo(s) for my amp recently and I was surprised! (Though I guess I shouldn't be) I have a Rivera Clubster Royale Recording Top. 25w. 3 12ax7, 2 6v6's. Tight and punchy as can be. Anyway, this amp has a Modded Fender...

Just a couple pics of my partscaster, Zed. Put it together after recovering from deadly illness several years ago. Tons of fun! Master Vol, kill switch and a blender knob. Planet Tone DG pickups. I added a baseplate to the bridge recently (GREAT decision!). May swap the tremolo out on it in the...

Man, the threads in the Off-Topic are absolutely bananas! Just trying to read the threads/chains with people snapping at each other like rabid dogs is wild. There are clearly members with a lot of history here, and it's confusing lol People screaming that others have Alt accounts and playing...

EDIT: Rearranged pedals and this setup works perfectly for my amp! Pedal order: Guitar> Wah> Fuzz> G8 input> G8 send > Comp>Klon/Blues Power(reversible order switch)>OCD>Rat>chorus/flange/vib > G8 return> G8 output to Amp. Amp reverb tank comes BEFORE FX loop. FX Loop Send > Trem/Boost>...

TLDR; Bought a 1968 Fender Mustang. 1st vintage guitar. Hope to hold for many years and sell down the road. Hey guys. Here is the story. This is very out of character for me but here goes: I walked into the guitar shop I've been going to since I was 15 and used to teach in several years ago...

Hello all! So I finally had the urge to add a fuzz to my board. I did a ton of research, walked into a shop and tried multiple pedals and left without a fuzz. I ended up with a Ratsbane that I made another thread about here. (Killer pedal) After doing a lot of reading online and listening to a...

Hello all, I grabbed a Wampler Ratsbane recently from a store trip. Went in to grab a fuzz but saw the ratsbane and had to grab it! Wampler is a solid company and they make great sounding products. The ratsbane DOES sound great and the tonal variation you can get from this pedal is huge. That...

UPDATE: I fixed a bunch of grounding issues at the house and then found a point that needed some solder, this fixed any and all issues with the amp. The pedal performs very well now and I absolutely love it! TURNS OUT that this amp has the sound routed differently than I would expect or...

So this is probably one of the most controversial posts I will ever make and I am not certain I am ready for what is to come after but here we go: As I've aged (32 now), something about relic'd guitars finally has some appeal to me. Now this isn't really important in the grand scheme of things...

Hey guys! I am wondering how to truly vet 'microphonic' tubes. Trying out different V1 tubes with my clean channel set to 10 and tapping the tubes with a wooden chopstick. Should I be hearing the tap through the speaker? If I do, does this mean they are microphonic? I have some tubes that were...
