should interest a rather large amount of RR-V group =p

I like it myself

i like it too, but always there are some pull backs on SV guitars... dot inlays

its FREE

i like the rr24 too but theres that lack of versatility with only one pickup

Exactly! If they had sharkfins they would look amazing. But still, i'm a Jackson wh0re. And yea, if the RR24 had 2 pickups, it would be the ultimate metal axe.

Hey guys... Have anyone of u tried Behringer stompbox pedals before?

I was thinking of a cheaper alternative to the BOSS TU-2 .. Would the BEHRINGER TU300 work?

Kinda big price difference between the twi pedals.. Any advise?

no inlays ftw

buy a RR3, then get a 2nd hand alexi-200. use RR3 body and alexi 200 neck, done. u got alder body, 2 pickups, original RR body, with shell sawtooth inlays, white bindind and best of all, 24 frets

Sorry mate. I don't think you can JUST bolt on a 24 fret neck on a 22 fret neck........ right?

You might experience some tone suck as BOSS pedals use relay switches and buffered bypass...
And the Behringer is based on the BOSS one, I assume it would remain the same...
That means it will kinda mess up your signal a little, and would be even more obvious if you have a long chain...

If you're concerned about the tone suck, you can get a volume pedal with a tuner out (ie. Ernie Ball Volume Pedal), so you can exclude the tuner from your chain and only use it when you want to use it...

On the topic of EB VPs, you'll need to be sure of what kinda signal is running into the VP, ie. passive/active. You'll need different pot values (25k for active signals, 250/500k for passive signals)...
You can check this out by seeing what is running into your VP, if you're using a passive guitar, and running straight into the VP, get the passive VP. If you're running active pickups, get the active one. If you're placing your VP further down your chain, and the pedals that is running into the VP are buffered pedals, then get the active one; and if you all your pedals leading up to the VP are true bypass and your guitar is passive, then get the passive one.

Blacktrix: You can still bolt it on if the neck pocket fits, but there's the problem of intonation...

Oh man, this guy is freakin' INSANE!

Yo rossie, thanks again

Hmm, i was thinking about the Tuner (may it be Behringer or Boss), if I only turn on the tuner while tuning, and off it when playing.. There shouldn't be any effect on the tone right? I mean, if the pedal is off, shouldn't it be like, erm, bypassed? Even if it's a tone sucking pedal ..? Sorry still new at the stompbox thing..

Ahh.. Thanks for the volume pedal info too!

I plan to place the volume pedal right at the end of the chain , after all the effects, before the reverb, before going into the amp .. Like a normal volume pedal..
So may I know the "active" pedal is the High or Low impedance pedal, which one should I get in my case?

Anywhere around klang valley sells ErnieBall VPs ?

Most if not all BOSS pedals are electrically buffered bypass, which would mean there would be losses in the signal or artificial coloring of the signal which would cause tone "loss". True bypass means that the input and output are directly connected thus when there is no current flowing into the pedal it simply goes through the pedal as if it were a cable. Minimal tonal "loss" there.
Buffered pedals aren't necessarily bad, if you got a huge pedal board which consists mostly of true bypass its good to have a few buffered bypass pedals to strengthen your transmitted signal. Think many true bypass pedals as very long cables, there definitely are losses when your signal passes through them and the buffered bypass boosts your signal back close to where it should be, of course with some negatives, so its a win/lose situation and it really depends on what you put on your board.

Hope that helps and I didn't confuse myself =p

Yup, TBP pedals have its pros and cons...
If you're running a long chain of effects, a few GOOD buffered pedals are a good idea, or you can always get a buffer pedal like the Axess BS2 audio buffer... The buffer on TCE pedals are nice too...

Passives are high impedance... Remember the EMG-HZ passive pickups?
Impedance = Z
So High Impedance = HZ

Ahhh .. I see i see, thanks guys

Btw, which pedals are considered 'true bypass' ? I mean, how do u identify a true bypass and buggered pedal?

Do we hav to open the pedal n check whether the output n input r connected or something like that?

too bad its not a set neck, else can add on the 2 extra frets

even making them scalloped

Oooookay. Going to US soon, and preparing my luggage.....

So if anyone has anything you want me to buy back stuff, let me know ASAP. Nothing too big or heavy, and I MIGHT say no, depending on the size, but ask anyway and I might accommodate.

Oh man...... Suddenly saw this and GASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss



Neck Thru, 25.5 Scale, 24 Frets, Mahogany Body with a maple neck, Gotoh trem and the new EMG 81TW coil tapping pickup.

Drooooooooooooooooollllllll

wouldn't coil tapping the EMG81 make your ears bleed?? it's already sharp like nuts coil tapping sounds scary =p

ooo but i like the c-1 hellraiser more =)
