You wants to buys my Tremulatorz




In all seriousness, I am going to wait for my AC amp to get sorted before I worry whether I need a new Trem.

Best, my Cornford Roadhouse, worst a Jackson I bought for 'ironic' reasons while very very drunk. I recently sold it for 'damage limitation' purposes. It was truly disgusting. but not half bad a guitar, if I'm honest.

Best........

This '96 Strat has been played a lot. Previous owners really broke it in well.
All the pickguard screws are rusted and the maple fretboard is dulling.
Cool mojo relicing...........

I've bought very few pedals this year and i'm in love with all that i've acquired, they are:


watson superfuzz

z-vex loop junky

malekko 600 bright


also traded for a death by audio fuzz war which is ths shiznitz.

 

 

 

Bought/traded for a few pedals since.

 

Best: DBA fuzzwar, OMFG this is the fuzz of fuzzes!

Empress Superdelay, mighty fine delay.

G-Spot 3, silicon/germanium/led od

 

still dig the ones from the previous post, but the fuzz war and superdelay are real standouts

BEST: Baden A-style acoustic (Rosewood, Spruce)

 

WORST: Thumbpicks that I thought I would try my hand at using. I don't have the patience to learn to use them right.

 

VERDICT STILL OUT ON: Vexter BOR. I'm still within the 30 day period from Guitar Center and I'm just not sure if it's needed or not. I like it....just not sure if I like it enough to keep. Sigh.

Best so far: Throbak Stone Bender and Fuzz Factory; both have wound up on the board. The only thing the stone bender needed was a little more brightness which I remedied by throwing the Blue Boy Deluxe after it. That particular combo is my main gain now. I put off a fuzz factory for forever and now I wish I hadn't; fits my style great.

Worst: nothing that actually qualifies as bad. The Hendrix Octave Fuzz isn't versatile at all, but I bought it for SY type freakouts so no loss. The octave drop setting on the FF paired w/ this is brutal, but not as over the top as the Fuzz Gun and FF both set on feedback for end of set stirrup peel.

Best: Barber LTD SR. It's the heart of my sound now.

Worst: Catalinbread Teaser Stallion. Big disappointment. None of my guitars seemed to work with it. Not enough output in the pickups, probably. The distortion by itself was good, but the "Teaser" part was what I wanted it for. It went back within a couple weeks, sadly.

+1 for Barber. My regular LTD is my favoritest overdrive ever.
