Clear, thanks. Also, i don't get how the FV-1 works, I'll go RTFM.

Hi Brian,
Looking at the rainbow puker doc, i'm wondering about the FV-1. Will you provide it or will you provide the code?

Back on chrome.

Hi Brian, i got disconnected with chrome and cannot reconnect. I can connect with Firefox.
I can't see what i post until 10 to 15 minutes pass.

Chinese guitars ruleZ. This Squier has absolutely nothing wrong. No excuses at all for a pickup change or a part improvement. Lame.

Recently, "i decided that some of my players could go in favor of more sustained value guitars. In France, that means not too recent american guitars."
I wrote that a few posts below but then i realized that i was short a few colors of the rainbow:

New Guitar Synthesizer Day.  I picked up a Boss GM-800 with the GK-5 pickup and slapped in on my trusty tele.  Got some tweaking to do but am impressed with the tracking so far.  This is one of the stock pads called Piano Symphony.  Me getting all fancy and such on a tele but it's pretty crazy what this thing will do.  Added a touch of reverb.

That's fun. And it sounds good.

What i'm trying not to say as if it was some sort of secret is that these late 70's to 80's Guild solid body are absolut beasts. Undervalued as hell.
That's my second after a S60 from 79 that, despites the love & abuse it saw, is a hell of a guitar.
This one has a thin mahogany body with a maple top, 24 really easy to access frets, an ebony fretboard and DiMarzio pickups.
The hardware is modern and smart.
It is a heavy guitar which should not disturb any LP aficionados.

Recently, looking at my guitars, their sheer numbers and the absolute certainty that i was missing one, a very brief "you should be ashamed of yourself" popped up in my thoughts.
I checked thoroughly and the outcome of this intense introspection that lasted 17ms was that i'm not.
However, i decided that some of my players could go in favor of more sustained value guitars. In France, that means not too recent american guitars.
So i started with the buying, we'll see about the selling later.
Here you go:  a 80's guild M80. First conversations are promising.

Unless I'm forgetting some, 7. 8 if you count the SG.

SG's were first called Les Paul's. They should count.

Calls for a family shot.

I live vicariously through you my man.  If you can, then do it brother.  I hit this weird thing where I found my Yamaha Ty Tabor and the other guitar player in the band said exactly what I thought: " I think you finally found your voice!"  I think I've landed but will reserve the right to gas none the less.

It's weird though, I've chased the dragon for almost 50 years and I may have finally caught him.

Can't imagine something like that, can't imagine dragon chasing to start with.
Closest thing would be a desert island guitar and that's easy enough, but i also know that as soon as i land on the shore, i'd probably chase a turtle to build the second.
Can't even decide on an amp.

Gorgeous thing Jimmy. Congrats. How many Les Pauls?

I'm still on the fence about butting into a group buy over at PPCB so will send you one if I do.

Thanks mate.
I'm not much worried, i built an alpha dog & rat so i've got the "real" thing covered, for this one pretty sure something will get me close.

Thanks guys,
I have a TL071, a LF351 in stock and ordered a (still pricey) OP07 & ne5534.
I'll see what i like and stock a couple.

If you have more idea, i'll take them.

And what about 1590a projects?

Hi all,
Not ready nor willing to pay for a LM308 that i have no guarantee to be  genuine.

I've seen a glass mod with a ne5534.
What would be other substitute to stick to the general idea of the pedal?
