[Trending Gear This Week - Marshall BluesBreaker Overdrive/Distortion Pedal]( Sweetwater · Mar 3, 2023 at 12:00 AM · Replies 50 s The Guv'nor distortion pedal was a resounding success in the late 1980s, attaining industry-wide acclaim for its authentic British-voiced amp-in-a-box sound. By 1992, the dust had settled, and Marshall was ready to expand its offerings. Enter the BluesBreaker, a vintage-voiced pedal that delivered the smooth, rich warmth and full character of a 1962 Bluesbreaker amplifier. Unfortunately, the original stompboxes have long been difficult — and expensive — to obtain on the used market. Well, that will no longer be a problem, as Marshall is...

[What amp is this (Tom Verlaine content)]( micpoc · Mar 1, 2023 at 8:11 PM · Replies 9 Been digging back into Tom Verlaine recently (R.I.P) and was curious about this image. I recognize the Silvertone and the Tel-Ray-branded Variable Delay, but do not recognize the smaller amp with the squiggly grill cloth and the coffee cup on it. Thought it could be a Supro or an Ampeg, but... Forum [Glowing Bottle Tube Amp Forum]( [Read more](
[Anyone else "amping hot"?]( El Tele Lobo · Mar 3, 2023 at 12:40 AM · Replies 3 I don't know the term for this so pardon my arbitrary description. I hear a lot of people complain about a variety of amps not sounding good unless they are played at high volume and often end up too loud for practical situations, whether at home or on a gig. Something I started doing in the... Forum [Amp Central Station]( [Read more](
[Loosie Lefty? Be Careful!]( Melodymanny · Mar 2, 2023 at 10:59 PM · Replies 4 This expression is used a lot all across the internet. “ Loosie lefty, Righty tighty”. An alternative to anti clockwise and clockwise to loosen and tighten respectively. It’s for screws, bolts, and in my case today a truss rod. I’ve always been reluctant (and a bit scared of doing damage) to... Forum [Tele-Technical]( [Read more](
[1970 Telecaster]( bmcdjohnson · Mar 2, 2023 at 4:34 PM · Replies 9 I recently had this Tele passed down from my FIL who bought it new. He played in a blues/country band for many years.

[Possibly may need a new amp class]( peteb · Mar 3, 2023 at 12:53 AM · Replies 1 What if a single ended amp was not center biased. Instead of class A center bias, it is biased hotter than class A such that the amp reached saturation before cut off. What amp class would that be? In order from coldest bias to hottest bias in amps, it goes class B, class AB and then class... Forum [Amp Tech Center]( [Read more](
[Getting vastly different results measuring voltages and efficiency of half wave rectifiers on two different amps?]( peteb · Feb 26, 2023 at 7:48 PM · Replies 58 The half wave rectifier is supposed to be less efficient than the full wave rectifier. It makes sense. Half the wave is half the energy. In a recent thread it became apparent that in practice the maximum efficiency of the half wave rectifier is basically following the same rule as the full... Forum [Amp Tech Center]( [Read more](
[New Build with flamed maple top which stain would you use ?]( Pat_rocks92 · Mar 2, 2023 at 1:35 PM · Replies 8 I just recieved my new guitar body. Now i'm asking myself which color or kind of stain should I use? Latest: I love blue everywhere, except guitars. FWIW, you can make the flame pop more by wiping it with boiled linseed oil first. Apply one or two light coats, making sure to wipe off all of the excess and letting it dry before applying your dye. You can... Forum [Other T-Types and Partscasters]( [Read more](
[Gibson acoustics - I’m addicted..]( Stax1 · Feb 28, 2023 at 12:01 AM · Replies 28 So I own a 2014 Bozeman made 1941 J-100. Mahogany jumbo beauty, sunburst without the bling bling of the J200, and a nice banner style logo for reissue cred. I love playing it. And now I want more goodness. So I recently played a handful of new and used Gibson acoustics to see what I liked... Forum [Acoustic Heaven]( [Read more]( [Visit Telecaster Guitar Forum]( [Unsubscribe](
