$150CAN used but mint at L&M.

scooped it instantly because if i don't like it i can easily flip it for profit on the 'bay.

review to follow. it's a 3xxxx serial number so i think it's after his slight change in pots or something.

    The one I have is great. I posted before I was looking to sell it, but now I'm not. Before it sounded weird...changed the battery and now it's fantastic. I usually keep it on the LP mode and play it with my SG, it's great! I hit the OD on my amp to add a boost to it when soloing but it's such a great pedal!! :) I got mine for about 125$ USD.

    that's a good price. they always seem to go for much more when i'm watching.

    couldn't try it with the amps tonight since my baby was sleeping but tomorrow night i can give them a run.

    through my pod xt (i have a really good dirty hiwatt patch that takes pedals well) it was very promising.

    OCD's are amazing. Thats how pedals should sound. Just an extension of the amp its playing thru. No high boost, doesn't scoup out the lows etc....

    But then again does Fulltone Make any bad?

    Man I'm going to feel stupid if someone other than Fulltone makes a pedal called OCD, and thats what you folks are talking about!!

    it's the fulltone.

    this is what i was playing it through last night. enough to give purists a fit. but it works well for me since i never get to turn up.

    Looks like a lot of fun if you ask me. If I ever buy another guitar - which, at this moment, doesn't look like it's gonna be in this lifetime - it's an Epi Casino or a Riviera.

    good price. I will listen at home.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    i like the riviera's because of the mini humbuckers but alas, no left handed version.


    they had a left-handed joe pass in yesterday. giant jazz box. quite nice as well but not really my style in the end.

    The Valensi is pretty cool. I'd love to have one with a Z90 and a PAF.

    It'd be tough to decide though.

    I want to sell the LP and then put the procedes towards either an Elite Dot or Casino or the standard version and maybe upgrade them a bit. I love the Casinos. I wish the std dots had the gibson headstock. The casino has cool inlay's too.

    i wish they made a lefty elitist casino but apparently they don't exist.

    really, the only thing wrong with the MIK casinos is the wiring and the fact that they use the same body shape as the dot/sheraton instead of the 16th fret joint like the originals and the elitist/lennon casinos.

    that and i can't fine anyone that will make RWRP pickups with chrome dogears.

    the pole spacing on the MIK pickups is non standard, therefore, the covers won't work on anything else.

    the last option is to send them to someone for rewind. but really, that would only be for hum reduction. basically they sould good.

    Lollar will do it I'm fairly certain. You might even be able to use the covers you have on new pups if you send them to him.

    But, I generally like those pickups fine too. You could have them high pressure wax potted and that might help, but I bet good wiring pots etc and some shielding would do wonders.

    i know lollar will for sure. i found reviews of his rewinds specifically for casinos.

    bare knuckle will do it too but no need to send them that far abroad.

    yeah that's a lot of money to ship to the UK.

    I'd probably consider Lollar if you do go that route, we know how great his pickups are and if you could squeeze a bit more fat out of those and just smooth everything out that will be a great guitar. I know it's fun to play.

    I wonder if they made thin body lefty ES-125's.

    there might be some floating around. not sure.

    epi doesn't even list lefty casino's on their site anymore. same with the joe pass emperor. i guess it is true that they're done.

    extinct? That's sad. I bet they churn out a few HB's in the memphis factory though.

    cool. i just read a few reviews and they mention the mid-4000's as having the new volume pot so who knows. not a big deal though.

    either way, if it sounds good to me i'll leave it alone.

    i dont know what the volume one does...but it's fine the way it is IMO

    i find it best plays with a humbucker guitar

    so far i quite like it. it's definitely scooped a bit but nice. much more gain than i'd ever have use for. i kind of wish the gain range was maybe halfed. i can't see myself ever going past 10 o'clock. that's why things like the barber LTD are nice. lots more useable range.

    it's a nice change from a straight clean boost or something over the top like the distortion pro. but it's definitely not transparent as, say, a modded BD-2 or something. my orange likes it.

    i'm keeping all my gain pedals from now on. i always regret getting rid of stuff once my ears get tired of them because sometimes just the change from one pedal to another makes things interesting again.

    yeah at a nice volume I don't have my gain knob past 12 oclock...but at a bedroom volume i have it running to about 2oclock...i dont ike the HP mode much, so I always have it on the LP mode

    IMO the DistPro has way more gain
