Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

Seems like a useless gimmick, but actually worked well for me when I used it live as it's a very bright-sounding guitar and my amp can be a bit piercing at higher volumes.

That's no gimmick, and it's far from useless. This is how Gibsons operate as well, and I actually prefer that switching mechanism.

One day I will get around to posting pics of my Martin and '52 American Vintage Telecaster Reissue.

My Suhr These things are incredible, blows everything else I've ever played out the water in terms of tone and playability. And it looks stunning too. It's my second guitar, the other is a very cheap Ibanez that I started with, but when my guitar is this good it doesn't matter if its the only one I can afford - it's the only one I need too (well... I can kid myself till I have another two grand to spend on guitars)

^^ Only your second guitar ever and you went with a Suhr? Wow! Hard to improve from there. Enjoy!

And there you have it!

I like the look of Jazzmasters, especially the white with tortise guards, but these controls are just whack.

Ha! The Jazzmaster is actually very simple, control-wise. Now the Jaguar, with its "strangle switch" and another array of knobs...

Just wired my pedalboard, and got my MOTU Ultralite working on the Mac... Heritage 535 > Foxrox Octron > Tim Overdrive > Diamond Fireburst > Arion Stereo Chorus > Moog Ring Mod > Deluxe Reverb > Avatar 1x12

^^ Great stuff! I've heard excellent things about the Octron. How well does it track across the fretboard?

Single note lines -- amazing. I've tried other octave pedals (the one on my Pod and the OC3), but this one shows them all up. I can get a really great bass sound, or when I run the octave up through the fuzz (fireburst) it just sounds maniacally good. No intervals or chords though, but that goes on all of them...

I actually have a couple of pedals I want to sell if anyone's interested-- a Catalinbread Silverkiss and a Lovepedal Twin 60... both amazing pedals, read up on them.

that's teh only color combo i would get, robert smith style

Have a listen to this OD pedal. Keith Richards vibe. Pretty spot on 1969 Ampeg sound. Too bad these boutique stomp boxes are so $$$ - $200 for this one.

kgmessier, I bow down.

I have an Epiphone Casino in natural (Made in Korea reissue) that I bought for like $250, new. Before that, I had a few of the Gretsch heritage series they made for Guitar Center that I also bought for about $250-300 new. Not a bad deal. I haven't played the Casino enough to change out the original strings that came on it, but am motivated to pull it out of the closet sometime soon.

Holy geez, have a look at these James Trussart metal bodied electrics. Spectacular.
