Bought another project
Bought a Gretsch 5222 5 watt guitar amp. It's a combo with the 6V6 if case you don't know. Going to put a different OT in it so I can run it through all my 8 ohm cabinets. Also going to tweak the circuit (like the valve junior).

Active Pick ups
Are active pick ups the only pick ups that require a battery? How common are active pick ups? I borrowed my buddies Strat last weekend and I wasn't getting any out put from his guitar and I couldn't figure it out until I took the back plate out and noticed there was a battery in his guitar and the battery was dead. I…

Acoustic amp?
I'm a guitar player, but not a technical nut...I don't know a whole lot about amps/pedals/effects etc. I've been told that you need an acoustic amp for an acoustic guitar, as an electric amp won't quite do it justice. I've got a Vox 30w modelling amp that my acoustic sounds decent out of, but I've plugged in to Fishmans…

First band practice...........
OK, after the first rehersal, we knew we had to get the arrangements sorted, so we booked a rehersal room, and got stuck into it last night, for about 5 hours. By the end, we played the whole set through and barring a few fluffed notes and chord changes, we nailed all the arrangements, and were really starting to just have…

Nothing As It Seems effects
Sorry if this has been asked before, I didnt have much luck searching. Just wondering if anyone has effects tips for playing NAIS, in particular the solo and interlude bits, aiming for a sound like Mike gets on the Seattle 2, 00 bootleg. Is it a combination of delay and the fender blender? Any wah or way of doing it…

Has anyone here ever tried an old JAX Vibra Chorus?
Hendrix used one, and in fact, that trademark onstage Woodstock wobble was made by a combo of the JAX and the Univibe. Just wondering if anyone here ever got to try one out. Apparently the bloke here, playing Machine Gun, is using one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwhWge6tIo

For you Strat Players.........
Do you find that the 5 way switch position is in the way when your strumming chords? Say your in the neck/middle position do you find the position will change on you half way through a song because your hand accidently hit it? Maybe I'm just not used to playing Strats yet but I find the the switch to be a little in the way.
