Best of which?
All right, I'm sure most of us have played a plethora of effects out there. My question/discussion is...Which pedal is the best at what it's supposed to do? Best Delay: Digital: I love my Digitech Digital Delay. It's got tons of options and it's not as expensive as some of the other digital delays. Analog: I've got less…

Jeremy
Yeah, it's probably my favorite PJ song because it go me started into the band. Anyway, has Jeff always used a 12, live? During the '03 shows, it sounds like a 4, and a 6 in the '00 shows. I've seen some shows from 2000 where he's got a 12 (and a beautiful bass it is).

Do It Yourself Vocal Effects?
Would there be any "electrical repercussions" to my equipment if I hooked up a mic to a boss pedal in order to achieve some cheapo vocal effects? For instance, tremolo? My intuition tells me yes.....hence the question. And any solid rules for "what not to hook to what" would be appreciated. Just so I dont have to ask in…

Building a Guitar
I've always thought this would be a cool thing to do. How would somebody go about it? How difficult is it? Is there a cost savings when you do it yourself? I'm thinking I might take a crack at it after I get married in January, that way I can research the proper way to do it. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice would be…

Look At The Deal On This 18-Watt Tube Amp!!
Click: Look At The Deal On This 18-Watt Tube Amp . . . $149.99 I couldn't pass this up - I just bought one tonight from Sam Ash (for the same price) - You have a hard time buying a solid state amp for this kind of money.

locks on a fender tweed case
is there an easy way to pop these bad boys open. i just got my 57 reissue on friday and they forgot to include the damn key. They say itll be at least a week until they can get the key to me. This borders on cruel and unusual punishment. Do you think a locksmith could get them opened? Haven't called any guitar stores yet…

specific question about Epiphone Casino's
I'm thinking of buying one. Usually I immediately go to the used market, but since Casino's don't cost that much and I don't find them easily used overhere, I was thinking of buying a new one. BUT... what I was wondering: is the quality of a new one good? Or should I go look for a used one anyway, from a specific era (not…

Telecaster Bridges?
So the "classic" or original telecaster's bridge has three adjustable saddles (but two "base" screws on each to "slant them"?), and later "modern" models have six. Pros/Cons of each? I'd guess the six would sorta give you greater ability to set-up the action? Not that I ever get into that kinda stuff, but I noticed that…

Can anyone shed any light on what model Martin guitar Ed has been using on the last couple tours, particularily in the pre-opener song he preforms? It appears to be one of the following: D15, 000-15 or J15, but I am not sure. Thanks for your assistance/response. Cheers s

Theory type question regarding Capo, please help.
I am in the process of writing a song but something isnt *just* right..... Question is, does applying a capo only serve to change key? If you have a progression that you like in standard tuning, it should still "work" when you put a capo on, right? Any help is much appreciated.

Fender Strat
I'm doing a speech on how the Fender Stratocaster got popular in the 1950's and can't find ANYTHING on the lawsuit from Gretsch guitars. I heard this lawsuit was what made Fender change the Broadcaster to Telecaster and also where Leo received input for the strat design. Does anyone have an idea on where to look for this…

Pedal: To Buy or Not to Buy?
A friend has offered to sell me his Ibanez FL301-DX Flanger for £40. I really like the way it sounds (the most important point, of course) and from looking on the Internet, this seems like a good deal, as it's an original rather than a re-issue....but I don't really know much about pedals and which ones are good quality…

What are you diggibg ... this week ?
This week, Ive been noodling a lot. I had an idea that it would be groovy to make my fingers dance, like they were doling a tap dance or something, so I just "danced" around a bit. Was listening to Death MAgnetic on home stereo for the first time, rather than in the car, and really enjoyed that. Listened to the Avocado in…
