    My current understanding of volume pots/volume pot values is this: If, for instance, you have a 500k volume pot and a 300k volume pot wide open at '10', the 500k volume pot will be brighter than the 300k volume pot because it will be operating at its full 500k value and, thus, allowing more...

    Obviously, finest or “best” is in some ways a subjective situation. However, i am using a particular set of criteria in this case: Speed Resolution Clarity Articulation Note Separation 3 Dimensionality Low Self-Noise with those in mind, nothing comes close to Evans pups. They are in a...

    I’ve been on a gear acquisition tear recently and just bought a new Eastman T486 today so something has to go (actually a few need to go..lol). This was the last in and I don’t yet have a deep emotional attchment to it so probably the easiest to post..yet still heartbreaking, if I’m honest...

    I am looking for an original 1966 Fender Stratocaster tone knob. If you happen to have this era tone knob "kicking around" please reach out as I am in need of one. Let me know how much you want for it. Thanks in advance. Marc

    Hey guys, I’m selling my Kingsley Jester original big box 12V. I have the power supply but not the original box. This has original tubes and is seriously the best dirt pedal out there. The hype is very real. Asking $900. Thanks and cheers.

    So having recently blown the vintage ATC speaker in my HIWATT Custom 50 combo, I have become fascinated with the nuances of the speaker world. I’m personally looking at high powered speakers to satisfy the amp, but would love to hear what others have experienced and recommend! Vintage or...

    Hi Everyone, I’m new to the Guitars Canada forum :). I’m looking for a certain sound that Eric Clapton was using in a performance with John Mayer in 2009. Unfortunately my ears aren’t skilled enough yet to pick up what exact sound he was using but I have lots of learning to do! It was his solo...

  10. Amps and Cabs
    I'm completely aware of the BOSS Katana's extreme versatility. It can produce a wide variety of sounds while still feeling like a tube amp. This amp has a sound for just about anyone, from a scooped and bright Fender clean to a crunchy and midrange-heavy Plexi to a face-melting high gain 5150 or...

    Hey guys, I'm using this wiring diagram: 2H_5WSPL_1V_1T.pdf I'm using a 500k tone pot, but the pdf doesn't specify the value. Everything except the tone pot works great - the coil splitting, the hum bucking, etc. The tone pot has no discernable effect for 95% of its travel except very near...
  12. Electric Guitar
    I'm moving from a Les Paul/Humbucker sound to a strat/single coil sound and I've been having a bit of trouble rising above the mix for solos during jam nights, especially with other Les Paul players there. The strat (obviously, I guess) sounds a little thin in comparison. I understand that...

    Every now and then I meet someone who says the best wire for speakers or for wiring amps is wire taken from old vacuum cleaners. Supposedly, copper that's carried a high current for a long time (decades) has more tightly bound electrons, or something. The gist is that old vacuum cleaners are a...

    Hey guys, I started my home recording projects last year, and been too busy thinking about mics, interfaces and softwares that I've been giving little thought to my guitar tone. Months ago I recorded some songs with my band and can't decide if my tone in the recordings is ''OK'' or downright...

    Had some time around the house today, so I thought I'd do a quick, spur of the moment blind test between an infamous classic and an underdog contender. Check it out, why don't you? W.
