Why would you do this to me?
The only acceptable tone was the clean, and even that didn't sound right.

How hard is it to replace the white washer around the pickup toggle switch on a Les Paul? The one on my Westfield Les Paul has been rubbed off a bit so some of the letters are missing and it looks a bit dumb. Does anyone have any instructions or something?

My care cup is empty when confronted with a 300 watt bass amp with a distortion channel. :iia:

[MrSneakymode]

Made a few slight mods to my Cry Baby to get a nicer sound out of it. Removed some of the shrill in the treble side and added a bit more bass.

Need to replace the 1.5k resistor with a 2.2k one in order to boost the mid-range and make the sweep a bit more consistent but that's cheap and easy.

[BassB]

how would a bigger resistor boost the mids, logic dictates it should be a smaller one, since the cry baby is essentially a variable mid boost.

I was gonna say "which resistor" but I can't find a schematic with one that's 1.5k, unless this is just a quirk of hillbilly block diagrams.

Though that said if it's a simple one it's a lowpass filter really and if he's talking about the resistor I think he is all a bigger capacitor would do is make moving the pedal's pot have less of an effect. Which would "smoothen" it out I guess. And dick with the res peak but since I can't read this fucking caveman diagram I can't tell how.

GCB-95? and the only complaints I have about mine are that I don't use it enough, and one of the rubber feet keeps popping off on me.

[editline]30th March 2011[/editline]

and what amplifier would you guys reccomend to replace my Dean Markley? I'd be looking more for a practice amp, not one of them big cabinets. (although If i had $$$ I'd absolutely buy one of those instead)

Is that Peavy Vyper or whatever it's called any good? I've heard that it's better than the line 6 sypder from a friend, but he's 100% anti-line 6, so He might be a little biased.

Now that makes me even more tempted to buy a Tele. (They were £419 not long ago)[/QUOTE]

Huh? I got my Tele for £360 a year ago.

I'm doing it at the recommendation of a seasoned pedal builder and modder. There are various resistors you can change to do different things, the 1.5k resistor happens to help adjust the smoothness of the sweep and give a little mid-range boost, the mid-range boost comes from the fact that the distance between treble and bass becomes longer so it appears that there's actually a midrange.

Your friend is right. I just got a 15 watt vypyr and I couldn't be happier. Although I'm a little bummed that I cant hook up a footswitch to it, you might want to get the 30 watt if you want that.

super dist is going in the bridge I assume

[Unreliable]

I immediately thought of the Fuzzface when you said fuckface. What if there was a guitar pedal called fuckface. It sounds like a whole bunch of distortion being thrown at you.

Or face fucking.

[abs]

it should be distortion -> reverb -> compressor combined

that's what I imagine face fucking to be in audio at least

What I thought, I tried the Line 6 at another friends house and I was happy with it , so i guess I'd be even happier with the Vypyr. Just wasn't sure if I should take his word cause As I said, he's a Peavy Fanboy :v:.

[editline]30th March 2011[/editline]

and all I've got is a Wah, so I don't need to worry about footswitches.

[editline]Pageking[/editline]

Oh god....Ummmm.....CONTENT!

If I built a guitar It would look like that! but maybe a different color. And not MS Painted.

Like a Dean Splittail, but it's a bit different. Some people think it's dumb. I came up with it (then found out it has been done :saddowns:). I was proud of myself anyway.

I'm half surprised I'm not the only one feeling that way right now. Though at least the kind of music you like isn't done with EMGs...I'm surprised by just how much I'm now convinced they're shit while still liking artists who use them (including the ones I'm using.) It feels like I've failed in a way.

Then I remember I had an easier time getting decent sounds out of the no-name chinese singlecoils in my the Peavey teleclone I started on and the wrath comes right back. If I get a change I'll maybe post a spectrum snapshot of these compared to a bass, it's unbelievable.

You have any opinion on my replacement besides what Knorre and Dopey already mentioned with the crunchlabs?
