Suggestions needed for pedal board and power supply.
Hey guys, first a confession: Until very recently, I did not know that pedals should be hooked up to a power supply. I have been just connecting them together and then the last one is connected to a 1Spot True Tone 9 volt adapter plugged into a surge protector, plugged into a wall outlet. I gather this is NOT the way to do…

Initially conceived during the global COVID-19 pandemic "Tomorrow's Ghosts" is a collection of eleven songs that covers a wide…

Rig Rundown on the way????
Premier Guitar posted on Instagram from the Nashville shows & not sure if it a coincidence as they are probably based there. It has been called out for a long time now about a rig rundown so let's hope it happens 🙏🤞. Also Rick Beato has confirmed that an interview with Mike & Jeff done backstage in Atlanta is coming out…

Pink Floyd
I don't know what it is about Pink Floyd but I can't get into them. Almost everyone I know loves Pink Floyd and they tell me to listen to "Dark Side Of The Moon" and I have listened to that album numerous times and I just can't get into them. I had a 10 hour drive from Ontario to Massachusetts and I popped in Pink Floyd to…

My little rescue guitar
Last week, I was in one of my favorite thrift stores and a guy I sort of know there brought out this little Squire Mini Strat and asked if I was interested in it. I asked him how much they wanted for it and he said $20. It looked like HELL, but I felt sorry for the poor thing and said, OK, I'll take it. I wish I had taken…

Why is so hard to find Mike’s Set Up/ Settings?
Hello! I have scoured the internet and have found odds and ends of Mike’s sound, gear he uses but not really how to dial that gear in or the settings he uses for amps, Line 6 delays, Mods etc. But it’s mixed information and may not be accurate. My favorite YouTube series is RigRundown and has helped me immensely. I have a…

Pickups for the McCready Sound
I have an old Peavey Predator AX, which was basically a Strat-style Peavey. The pickups need replaced. Any guitarists or gear folks hear that could recommend some pickups for that McCready Yellow Ledbetter sound?

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…
