Been away a few days but here's where I'm at:  Need to get insulation paint but I'm hoping to paint it when I get home. Sadly the switches from the original don't fit the new pickguard so I need to order new, bigger ones.

I just got a custom Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian with the "cream" and mid boost toggles. It's the best big muff ever - it's the sound in my head that I try to make every other fuzz sound like. I'm in love.

Found out with time to spare that coil split and coil tap are not the same thing. Final sanity check request. I want to be able to split both humbuckers individually to use either or both as single coils. I've got two CTS push-pull tone pots and two regular volume pots. Every diagram I've found has the coil split on volume pots - is that simply How It Works, with coil taps being done on the volume pots? I have no clue if one's right or the other, my research fails me again.

The push pull is just a toggle I don’t think it matters what pot you do it on

It's more that I can't seem to find a diagram that covers using the tone pots to do it, and I'm not sure if I'm just barking up the wrong tree. It didn't help that I thought coil tap and coil split were the same thing. GFS' printout doesn't really say which terminal I should solder the white wire to. Their diagram refers to it as coil tap. I could really use some "here is the exact diagram to follow if you want to be able to toggle your GFS Kwikplug humbuckers to single coil mode" help here - it's not easy to parse all the how-tos and come up with a diagram.

ethanol posted:The push pull is just a toggle I don’t think it matters what pot you do it on Yeah it's a whole separate mechanism. On my LP the tone pots are the coil splits MJP posted:It's more that I can't seem to find a diagram that covers using the tone pots to do it, and I'm not sure if I'm just barking up the wrong tree. It didn't help that I thought coil tap and coil split were the same thing. You need it set up so that the white and the red are connected together and they are not connected to anything in humbucker mode. When you engage the switch, you should be connecting the red and white to ground. Armacham fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Apr 14, 2024 |

nah it doesn't matter volume and tone pots are the same thing, the only difference is the tone pot has a capacitor soldered to ground

The switch in a push-pull isn't electronically connected to the pot unless you wire it that way. It can be entirely independent of whatever the pot is doing and as long as the signal flow of the diagram is maintained it doesn't actually matter where the switch is related to the pot you're installing it on.

The darkness is so good. Yes goofy and a lot of people can't take them seriously but they're great guitarists, he's a great singer and that album was fantastic. I liked some of the next album or two as well. His channel, Justin Hawkins Rides again, is great to watch. The song I was playing today that I don't think I've ever tried to play, Jimmy eat world - the middle. It's fun and easy.

The thing about fun and easy songs is they're usually the songs people actually want to hear, instead of the wankery a lot of us (myself definitely included) aspire to for no real reason. I've always had this unshakable feeling that "if *I* can play it, it simply must not be worth playing. Which is insane but guitarists are dumb as hell.

So Revv D20 review. I've had a few days now. This seems to be a fantastic tube head with extra modern features to me. Perfect levels for bedroom/studio level recordings or just playing while keeping that tube amp depth. I set it up with an orange cab and that's a lot of fun and not blowing out my neighbors. It doesn't have a whole lot of gain (you should get g20 for gain) but it can still break up nicely on its own.. I would say somewhat similar to a deluxe reverb (without the reverb), depending on which deluxe reverb you're actually talking about. put the rat in front or a boost or whatever, it totally gets anywhere you want and sounds great. could gig just like this. Works really well with all my pedals. so for portability it's a 10/10 for me, the head is like 5 lb and you just need a cab. you could easily use FOH or a FRFR if you wanted too, via its xlr but your speaker will need the virtual cab (IR) turned on (the d20 lets you do this onboard if you like) Started integrating it into my more complicated 'studio' setup. So I have some real pedals going into the helix into the front of the amp. then also routing back to the helix via the amp fx send/return for a 2nd patch that can add reverbs or flangers or what not. so the signal is making two seperate passes through the helix, one on each helix CPU on its own separate path. I did have a noise issue there for a bit but I found the source and fixed it (a helix setting was duplicating the signal into the front of the d20). I setup a real sm57 to record the orange cab for comparison, or capture the signal right before the cab and using a cab IR with the d20's loadbox. Then it's totally silent. I can also DI it out with no IR. It's just a real nice setup with pretty much control over the whole patch. That said the bulk of what I've done is figure out how to use this to patch in real tubes where I want them. If you just desire to stick to modeling and tubeless the d20 is going backwards. for in the room immediacy, just plug in and go, at usable levels, I think it's a fantastic little amp so far. Seemingly a lot cheaper than the competition for this amount of features and good tone in a tube amp

Anyone who doesn’t mostly play metal: you do yourself a disservice by not, at least, trying filtertrons. They are wholly their own thing and arguably the third greatest after Tele bridge and PAF.

Get one of each. I own 5 electrics and I don't think I own two guitars with the same pickups aside from my strat that's in pieces and will likely never get rebuilt.

Knopflers poo poo just always sounded good any guitar he picked up and his signal chain was extremely basic. It's all in the finger style.

That amp tone was a complete accident of unexpected microphone placement while trying to channel ZZ Top and Mark Knopfler himself has said he's never managed to dial it in 100% perfectly ever since the original recording session

I like to contest the Darkness and Steel Panther because on the surface they’re both doing the same gag but they illustrate the difference well between “camp” and “being a joke”. The Darkness are silly but with a level of sincerity running through their music and they write legitimately good songs. Steel Panther just suck, use their gimmick to cover up how much they suck and half their shtick is tedious ironic-not-ironic misogyny.
