[MXR DD25 Green Day Dookie Drive V4]( In 1994, alt-rocking guitarists everywhere emulated (but never quite duplicated) Billie Joe Armstrong’s gut-busting guitar tone on Green Day’s pop-punk masterpiece, Dookie. So why is Billie Joe’s overdriven tone so hard to reproduce? For starters, he’s Billie Joe Armstrong. Beyond that, he used two modded amplifiers — one tuned for clean sounds, the other tuned for dirty. he MXR DD25 Dookie Drive captures the sound of these two amps and packs them into a single pedal...

[Trey Anastasio Rig]( Phisherman · Dec 31, 2022 at 9:48 PM · Replies 581 I got the first 3 shows and had a blast. Still not as crazy about the tone vs early 3.0. Definitely think he is playing more than in the past where he was searching. With the smaller rig he’s running he doesn’t have all the sounds he could make with the larger rig, so it makes sense he’s leaning on the M5 more. This, I think, is allowing him to play more. And yes,... Forum [Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things]( [Read more](
[Which dual pedal if it would be your only OD?]( Digiplay · Aug 20, 2023 at 3:05 PM · Replies 97 Mudhoney II. It's cheap, perfect form factor, easy to dial, and it switches between the two sides. Might be a pet peeve of mine, but I don't really see a point in getting a dual overdrive that stacks bioth sides. Being able to switch from one od to the other other one with one single compact pedal, without having to use a bypass looper. That's the... Forum [Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things]( [Read more](
[The limited life span of modern electronics]( TrueFifth · Aug 19, 2023 at 7:06 AM · Replies 88 I just watched this YouTube video about how Apple still makes it impossible to repair Macbooks by non official Apple repair centers - not only by placing components impossible to reach without taking out hundreds of special Apple security screws, even gluing components and using unremovable...

[What made you sell your 'Big Iron'?]( Robert Libutti · Aug 19, 2023 at 4:23 PM · Replies 88 I've been thinking about this for a while. About 6 years ago I bought an Orange TH100. Thing is awesome, sounds great, simple 3 knobs per channel. I left it at my drummers house until the pandemic hit. Now our rehearsals move around. That head weighs almost 60 lbs and is LOUD.

Both really impressive. I have my original 53 pro cab down to him getting restored, can’t wait to get it back.

[Can electric guitars crack?]( Jtross1297 · Aug 17, 2023 at 11:27 AM · Replies 13 Hello! I know acoustics are very sensitive to the elements but what about electric guitars? I know the neck is always a concern but my question is the body vulnerable to humidity to the point where it could dry out and crack?

[Eminence GA-SC64 Ice Pick?]( zeusISloose · Aug 18, 2023 at 3:06 PM · Replies 25 So I moved to the GA-SC64 in my deluxe reverb and was under the impression it would be a darker speaker than the greenback I had in previously.
