  • So my wife says she needs an auto wah…

    To which my first reaction is to say, in my best thundering voice, “No wife of mine will be sounding like Jerry Garcia!”. Of course I suppress this urge with practiced aplomb. Six years of marriage and I can pin my tongue between my molars with only a slight grimace. Anyway, at this point I’m…

  • Rondo AD-2300 (Left-handed version)

    I wanted something like an SG, and that meant the Epiphone G-400 for my price range. But then I’d be buying pickups and tuners that I’d only want to replace ASAP; wasn’t there an affordable guitar that might not need immediate upgrading? The Agile AD-2300 seemed like it could be that guitar.

  • Joe’s New Guitar

    Playing electric guitar left-handed makes for a limited choice among production models – especially on a limited budget. I wanted something like an SG, and that meant the Epiphone G-400 for my price range.

My layout ended up being 17 holes wide which fit in the box a little better. I used…

  • Fuzz Face for Joe part 2

    Here’s Fuzz Face wired up and stuffed in a “B” sized box. This box is from 4Site electronics. Great finish and excellent screws much better than the Taiwanese boxes that are commonly available.

  • Fuzz Face For Joe

    A few pictures of a Fuzz Face I made for a Joe. Turns out Joe hadn’t heard of the Fuzz Face. So I thought I make one for him. This one uses a Silicon 2n3906 for Q1 and a Germanium transistor for Q2. The Germanium transistor is a Chinese model not sure what the number…

  • The Mouse by Lectrosonics

    I found this on the street some years ago. I dug it from under my desk today and took some pictures. Not sure what to do with it. I assumed it was broken since it was on the street.Not sure how to test this. Looks like it has two rechargeable batteries inside, with a jack…
