I'm still waiting to put some fender texas specials in my crap strat. It's already beaten up as it is, but I really want to change the neck, Since it's a bolt on anyway.
I know, the body is crap, but still........
At least it'll sound totally different from my Les Pauls, Razorback and RR3....
Damn, just realized the tuners and most of the hardware has to be changed too........... I think the only thing left that's original is the body itself...
texas special pups tat special eh? y do u chose it apart from those.... er... noiseless, n so on?

With all the upgrades, yes, I can probably buy a new guitar....... but it's my very FIRST guitar, and I do feel sentimental about it
Texas Specials, because I find it's a bit warmer, plus my crap-strat is tobacco sunburst already..... a black tortoise pick guard and voila! SRV's Guitar!

From what I understand from strat users lah, the stacked coils on the noiseless makes them lose quite abit of the high end. Killing off the strats most famous tones. Also lah, single coil no noise mana best? xD 60 cycle hum ftw laaaaaa xD (i just shot myself on the leg, i'm using a lace noiseless single coil lol)

heres a band that can write songs...but the video...uhh...well they didnt have any money then...and probably still dont have much...unlike donald...
also the first band to appear on kerrang's cover when no one knew who they were outside the US... kerrang calls them "The best new band you'll hear in 2008"...
any cheap modulation pedals recommend? no behringers
artec? digitech? r they any good? any other brand that is cheap? i'm cheap haha.
usually wat u guys used in a pedalboard.

modulation - for cheap either korg or zoom. yea, zoom...of cos their distortions sux...

Nov 6 2008, 12:47 AM
zoom has got a multi-fx pedal that only has modulation stuff. digitech, ibanez, marshall, and probably everyone else soon, also have single pedals that combine chorus/flanger/something else.
but since u say cheap...only behringer for u then

How cheap is cheap man? I haven't tried Artec's yet lah Also what type of modulation man? but I'm plenty satisfied with my Biyang CH-7 (chorus). I wasn't astounded at first? But after I moved the from after the delay to before the delay, and whaddya know? The pedal went 180 and became like.... wow. Very lush, almost creamy chorus. (I might sound like I'm wh***ing my own gear but heh, I like it =p) BUT of course I haven't had the chance to try say like a CE-2 or anything so can't really say how good lah, but it's definitely better than the boss CH-1(?) (super chorus, i dun really remember the model number lol) Got it for like 180 second hand, felt like an awesome purchase, it being true bypass and all.
For other modulations, like phasers and stuff I can't say much, don't play with those lol

ei..cheapest is danelectro right ? behringer still need 100 bucks ..
sean392
Nov 6 2008, 03:18 AM
yeah danelectro is waaaaaay better than behringer IMO I'll prolly get canned by EHX fans, but the danelectro fuzz is alot more flexible than the EHX big muff, which really is almost a one trick pony. =/

Nov 6 2008, 08:49 AM
plenty of youtube vids on danelectro man =p only thing is (as always with cheaper pedals) the switch really looks funky, like it'll crap out anytime. Plastic encasement isn't really much of a problem, cuz if the internals aren't secure it's gonna break down either ways.
They have switch mods for danelectro i think. I also heard many saying the danelectro eq pedal works better and less noise than the boss eq-7 (regardless MIJ or MIT) =/

I'm still saving up for my MXR Chorus......... but less and less as for the moment, no real need for it. But I just know I need it in my Pedal board.
sean392
Nov 6 2008, 11:24 AM
Don't you already have MFX? Do you really need it? =| Get a CE-2 should be better than what MXR can offer
blacktrix
Nov 6 2008, 06:52 PM
Blah.... My Multi-FX is great when I need an easy setup with a crappy amp...... like my Rock School exams.
But I still use single pedal effects on my main Marshall Tube amp. Besides, my MXR Carbon Copy sounds better through a single pedal chain and doesn't do justice via the Tonelab.

Hey guys, need some help here from any GT-8 users. there's some problem with my GT-8's pre-amps, the 'combo' amps seems to be missing and others seems to be interchanged with one another =\.. for example, then i turn my knob to BG LEAD , i got marshall's amps.. and when i turn to R-FIER, i get T-AMP.. its still working properly though.. I've tried to restore factory settings and still doesnt work.. should i send it for repair? =\.. thanks.
