  • ptelectronics: Tonebender Professional MKII. Had a wrench-related accident that caused a huge scratch that I tried to cover up. I figured it wasn’t bad enough or worth the time to redo the whole paint. Added an input limiter knob, “Attack” and “Level” I marked as “Fuzz” and “Volume” without even thinking. I like the style…

  • SG jr

    deebeeus: The Cherry Twins (fraternal). 61 Les Paul Junior / 68 SG Special okay I have a thing for The Who. I love the simplicity of the SG jr! one pick up and wraparound bridge tail piece. For some reason Pete plays a Strat these days, or at least this is what I’ve seen in…

  • Melvin’s

I also love these acrylic guitars with aluminum necks. These effects seem kind pedestrian for the Melvins, except for the MXR blue Box. Then again with the Melvins it’s all about the choice of  chords and…

  • These are too nice to step on

    fuzzkaizer: wooden box marvels “…when I asked him to build some boxes for some of my circuits, he kinda went to town…” “The base is cherry, veneers are quilted mahogany & rosewood, the binding african blackwood with maple purfling and the back cover is aluminum, sprayed with black appliance epoxy. The knobs are african blackwood…

  • Guitar pickups that promise everything

    I just read this quote about a pick up called the Nazgûl. I love the name. I need to install one of these in my +2 Axe! “The Nazgûl was developed for extreme metal players who required a massive and aggressive tone that still maintained plenty of articulation. The Pegasus was developed for prog and…

  • Weber 6M36 kit

    Weber 6M36 kit

    This is a 36 watt Marshall style amp kit. This seemed to be the best deal for a kit complete with cabinet and speaker. Here’s some pictures of what came in the kit. You’ll notice the speaker and turret board are missing. The speaker was listed as back ordered in the invoice. Not sure about…

    This has two booster in series in side. First is a NPN Range Master followed by a Sparkle Boost. The idea was Joe Gore’s. The two booster work well together. They each have their own flavor, and together get a good over driven sound. The Range Master side sports a variable input cap. So this…
