High five to the Volcas!

Also, when I had the guitar all apart, I shielded the body cavity. And a little while later, I upgraded the bridge and pickups. It’s a great guitar that was my main squeeze for years. But I don’t play it much now. It was a great project. I’m glad I did it. And it didn’t cost much more then my...

A set up would help for sure. I have stripped the poly off a Mexican strat. It doesn’t take too long with a heat gun and a putty knife. But then you have to sand the glue that held the poly on. And that took a while. Perhaps an hour or more with a palm sander. When you think it’s all off, run...

That’s pretty. Why did you decide to mount the jacks on the face ?

I forgot about this one. A Morley Wah Volume. I never use it. It works just fine. And there are two extra light bulbs taped inside. But it’s just too big.

Check the cable? The output plug end.

I’m not Anti-digital; as I write this on an i-phone. But over the last few years I’ve purposely avoided digital involvement in my guitar setup. I tried a focusrite into garage band, and found I was staring at a screen and clicking a mouse more than I was strumming. I’m 43 year old Luddite, and...

That glued business looks like a mod for sure. You appear to have yourself a fun puzzle. Good luck. And let us know.

Belton would be a great name for a pet parrot.

I thought the Brick had three tiny springs in it. And a wee little dude, with a hard hat on, to smack the springs when he gets the signal. A La Flintstones technology. Here’s a short read about the Belton Brick...

The Canada Postal Strike! I’m sure it’s a headache for a lot of folks. I filled my cart today, and went to check out, but nope. Sorry. No deliveries from foreign countries until the strike is over. I understand the workers are fighting for their rights. But I want my toys to be here before...

I have an MXR Phase 100. From 1979?? And a CryBaby from around the same time. I love the Phase and still play with it every now and then. Here’s the guts.

I have not tried it. My friend wanted to know, I believe he wanted to be able to blend the two together. I didn’t mean to distract from the Charge Pump talk.

Would there be a way of running/switching the two channels to run in parallel? A friend asked a few years back when I built the Paragon Mini for him.

Can you have one boxed up and in my hands before the new year? Or is there a “waitlist”?? Seriously though. I love these informative posts. Thank you Mr Bones.

I’ve used the amp jewel. I had accidentally over drilled the hole, and it was a perfect fit. It was a Propolis, and looked great with just the jewel and the footswitch. If I remember correctly I used a blue jewel and a red led, so it glowed purple. I gave it to a buddy. I’ll look for photos… The...

Why is Elton the least flamboyant in this?

I’d like to echo the Fat Neck love. I play a Gibson SG 50’s tribute. It has a thick neck that I adore. It immediately felt like the correct fit in my hands. I used to play a MIM Strat with a modern C neck and would get hand fatigue. I figured it was just the way it is, and dealt with it...
