With my standard caveman Telemaster -

With the Meteora I built it for, tuned down to drop F

Both vids through a Twin-ish sim with a Mesa 4x12 open back cab IR, mic'd with a 57 and a 160

Sad to see the Meteora go, but I need to buy a car, and it's going to an awesome person that will appreciate the hours that went into building it, and the scars it's acquired since.

Really digging the TL070 and 80 in the Rat lately - it keeps most of its voice, but adds quite a bit of dynamic range and clarity. It does lose the typical fuzzy quality, but it can bring more of the metalz now.
Also, I love these Dirt Monger boards (all of em, really- they've all been great to build with), and can't recommend em enough for lovers of the vermin
 
Oh wow, very cool. I didn’t even k ow there was a TL070 and 080. Hope the car is as awesome as the guitar. And hey, you get to build another guitar, too.
 
That's what makes this forum great! The generosity of its members sharing both knowledge and components etc... DGWVI always exemplifies such behaviour.

Sorry to see the Meteora go, but glad it's going to a good home.


Good looking build, the Meteorat.

Definitely my favourite Rat so far is the Turbo. While I, myself, am not interested in trying the TL070, I do want to try those other mods.
Thanks.

Since putting together these two most recent Telemasters, I don't even touch the Meteora. Being solid maple, it's on the heavier side, and the Alumitone is just a bit too dull for my Tele loving tastes these days. I need that scrangly clanging twang

The mods do help fatten and tighten it up a smidge and they also work wonderfully with the 308 or OP07. The 070 does highlight them a bit more, though. Definitely an awesome flavor to try at least once
