Joyo Ultimate Drive Made Better

My craigslist $30 Joyo Ultimate Drive just got even better! It was a great sounding overdrive right out of the box for sure. It’s been compared to a Freakish Blues Alpha Drive, or more precisely they are the same drive with a few different component values. I found a mod that is supposed to make […]

Sperzel Locking Tuners

I’m the type of person that resists change. In anything. I hate moving, changing jobs, rearranging furniture, or changing tuning machines on my guitars. In fact I’ve never tried “locking” tuners and there really is no good reason for that except I like the old traditional post type. Until now. I picked up a set […]

One Overdrive Pedal Just Ain’t Enough

VHT V-Drive, Joyo Ultimate Drive, Way Huge Saucy Box Sometimes it’s hard to find a deal on an item you may be looking for, and sometimes the deals hit one after the other. Such is the case here. I was looking for a good overdrive since I hadn’t tried anything new for awhile and was […]

Hamer Studio

Once again I scored on craigslist. I found a Hamer Studio that was so cheap I’m not even going to tell you how much it was except to say I paid more for the new pickups than I did for the guitar. This isn’t a Hamer USA model , it’s Korean made. But the first […]

Blackstar HT-1RH Low Wattage Tube Amp

In our quest for tone we all try different things. I do it, you do it, we all do it because it’s in the blood. We couldn’t stop if we wanted to. You find things that you think, at the time, are just what you were looking for only to find later there’s something even […]

Les Paul Project Guitar

Over the years I’ve had a few Les Pauls that were fairly heavy (in the 9.5 to 10 lb range) but they never gave me any grief like I hear some dudes talking about. You know, back problems, hip problems etc. from playing a Les Paul. I couldn’t relate because lately I’ve been playing weight […]

Lower String Height on Ovation Celebrity

Yes I know, this series of Ovations doesn’t have a big fan club,. and I get it but I used to have a CC 247 Sunburst that was one of the best acoustics I’ve ever owned. When I found out my daughter was going to learn to play guitar I gave it to her. I […]

Blackberry Smoke & Gov’t Mule Touring

With Warren Haynes of the “Mule” and Charley Starr and Paul Jackson of “Smoke” it’ll be a for real tone fest. I’m shit outa luck cause they won’t […]

A 2×10″ Speaker Cab May be Better Than a 2×12″

I’ve always been a dedicated user of 12″ speakers, be it a 1×12, 2×12, or 4×12. Years ago I had a Musicman 210RD that was 100 watts with 2 10″speakers. It was loud but was lacking that full rounded sound and it didn’t project near as well as 12″ speakers would have. That was my […]
