Whammy 4 Fix
Hey Guys! I am not sure if any of you have a Whammy 4 but mine glitched out a few years ago. I thought I broke it and was going to junk it! The decoder knob would jump all over the place and it would be difficult to dial in a setting. I found a fix online that I wanted to share. You will have to take the pedal apart here:…

I Recorded a Song!
Hi all, If you’re like me, you’ve been in a Dark Matter stupor for weeks now. The only thing to take me out of it was going into a legit recording studio for the first time ever on Monday. I’ve recorded some of my songs before, but never to this extent and it was exhilarating to say the least. I walked out of the studio…

Rough frets
They irritate the crap out of me: rough or sharp ends on guitar frets (or any other fretted instrument). This is especially annoying as I age and my skin becomes thinner. I wouldn't be surprised if high-end guitars have smooth fret ends (but not too smooth on top or rounded off to the side such that outside strings slip…

Turntable grounding issue (advice needed)
I'm aware of several audiophiles on here with great set ups and experience, you guys might be able to help. All of a sudden my right channel will go super bright and louder then the left. Most times I can move the grounding cable and it goes back to normal, then suddenly turn loud and bright again, it's very random and…

First guitar was a Fender MIM Strat in 2002. It doesn't get much play and have been looking into making it a project partscaster. Going to drop in Frail Steel Pole 42s and replace the stock MIM maple neck with a rosewood neck. Does anyone have any. experience thoughts on either: * Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II, 9.5…

Record Player Question (from a rookie)
Hey gang, Sorry for the novice question, but I'm annoyed as heck. My Audio Technicha LP60 has been spinning the just a tad faster than normal. Like, a 4 minute song will finish in 3:30. Anyway, the settings are correct (33.3, not 45, and set to 12' disc.) Google tells me that I just need a new turntable belt. I've got one…

Ohms, Watts, Amps and Speakers...
Hey all, So I just got a Marantz 2240B amp, mostly in good condition, needs some updates with the lights and perhaps some cleaning. The amp itself has 40 watts per channel, with Speaker Impedance 4-16 ohms. My current speakers came from my Onkyo desktop and I just plugged those in to test the amp out. The specs on those…

My New Record Shelves
I finally replaced my rickety old record shelf. It was a bit unstable and I was running out of room. I got this from Gothic Furniture in NYC. But they can also be ordered online. It is solid wood with a backing and I picked the stain. The inserts are also removable. They are modular so you can configure how you want. Mine…

Mike's DL4 settings
Mike has used both the DL4 and the MM4 for over 20 years. I saw one closeup pic of his board that showed both pedals have labels on each preset button. On the MM4 you can make out labels for "Univibe" and "Flanger" on 2 buttons. The other 2 are harder to make out, but they definitely both say "Phaser" with 2 different…

Guitar Practice Routines
Hey guys! I am trying to get more in a routine of practicing or being more intentional about it. What does this look like for you guitar players? I try and learn about 1 PJ every few days as they are fun to figure out. But I want to be a well rounded player. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I took out the built in preamp on my turntable, and POW!
I've known about this issue since I got the table now 13 years ago. I finally set aside some time, took a shot of whiskey, got my tools and YouTube at the ready and removed it. The red/white/ground wires were fucking crazy thin. I ended up needing to use my wife's cuticle trimming tool because my wire strippers were…

U-Turn Audio Turntable?
Anyone have any experience? I have an Audio-technica ATLP 120 and have been looking for an upgrade without breaking the bank. I've come across U-Turn, and specifically their mid line turntable (with the upgraded platter and cartridge), and even though it is roughly the same price as the ATLP 120, it seems like it would be…

New Orlando based Pearl Jam Tribute
Hey everyone, Wanted to share some highlights from our newly formed PJ tribute. I've been playing these songs on guitar for 30 years so it's been really special to play them out.

Boss Katana MKII “You Are” Tone
Man, I have chasing this tone forever! I couldn’t pull the trigger on a drum machine and after seeing all the programming that Matt did to get that choppy sound, there had to be an easier way. Enter the Boss Katana! Man there is nothing this amp can not do! Still tweaking the sound but I think I am close. Enjoy!…

Stone: 70’s semi hollow gold top les paul - Asbury
Is that a 1970’s semi hollow gold top les paul that Stone played at Asbury Park? I don’t recall seeing this guitar before and I bet he used it more than 50% of the night. It looks like an ES but think it is an LP. Here it is from Alive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QL4A9Y_lq34 Edit: looks like it is a Les Paul Signature
