Yo! Upsie!

Wotcha Upsie.

Good evening, @upside downer, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I use a parts caster (essentially a strat) & am considering picking up a valeton GP200 to replace fidgety stomp boxes (distortion, overdrive, compression, reverb, modulator and volume pedal. i tried a friends briefly & was impressed. Several years back, I’d tried something similar with a Boss ME-80, and wasn’t happy with the sound or feel. Seems like the GP200 is worlds better. does anyone have significant performing experience with the GP200? My band plays a mix of 60s through 80’s rock (Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, CSNY, James Taylor, etc.).

here is the current board with some diys and some stock pedals. More diys kicking about and more Boss to add on a new board for part of my rebuilding the rig of my youth

Good morning, @Diary Of An Axeman, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I picked up a super cheap Ibanez S670 with a fake body for 1500RMB ten days ago and went about upgrading, fixing and customising it with chrome Gotoh hardware and Dimarzio Satriani signature pickups. I wanted to do a Chromeboy painted finish but it's not possible to do it well on wood bodies. The original Chromeboys had finish cracking and bubbling issues do to wood expanding and contracting with seasonal changes, the follow ups had bodies made of lucite not wood. So I did the next best thing - bought a load of mirror vinyl wrap online and found a friendly auto wrapping firm to do it for me after my own attempt failed miserably. The reflection isn't 100% sharp but only really noticable when you are standing closer than 5 meters. I'm planning on using the guitar for a show coming up on Jan 11. The good thing of vinyl over paint is that I can get it re wrapped if it starts to look a little worn.

This year a Joyo "Oxford Sound" pedal. So far I'm very pleased with it - lets me go straight into our PA without lugging an amp around.

A present for myself : a piezo_pre-amp kit to install into my acoustic (holes to be cut into the sides, and the capteur to be fitted under the bridge...). I'll then be able to record without recourse to a mic.
