Not for nothing, but... I do pedal repairs and mods. I work primarily for Godlyke Inc. (they distribute Maxon, Guyatone, and a host of other Japanese manufacturers) as a tech. If you'd like your Blues Driver resurrected, send me a PM and we'll hash out the details. Best, Chris

this has happened to me on my DRRI before. are they the original tubes? try a better set of tubes (the groove tubes that came with the amp are crap) and make sure all of the hardware (even cabinet screws) on the amp is tight. it could be a loose screw that vibrates at a specific frequency.

lol...day late and a dollar short!

Does anyone else notice the glaring similarities between these two tunes? Like the chord changes during the chorus? And the guitar lines/tones? Who produced the album? I would have thinked they would have said "Uh, let's put somethign else in there than the parallel diminished arpegio lead guitar break that is oh so Harrison....) Chris

You can see what looks like a bit of the original finish peeking out near the bridge on the treble side. Perhaps sunburst? It looks like alder with a mahogany stain. Kind of Elvis Costello like. Dig the weird bridge too. I've never seen a mustang one like that.

here is the page for my band, tweede kamer. let me know what you think! chris http://www.myspace.com/tweedekamermusic

when i saw wilco in vermont this summer during jeff's solo in spiders he sounded like he was fighting the guitar...i'm all for weird sounds, and i know it's supposed to sound like he's locked in a battle to the death in that song, but he LOOKED frustrated...like the guitar was spitting and not sustaining and just not happening...i like my fair share of spitty fuzzes, but not to the point of suck-a-fication...i want my guitar to kick someone else's ass.

i think you should name your pedal: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I have a 2007 Gibson SG Standard with DR 10-46 Brite Wires. (main guitar) Here are my pedals (in order) Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah Wah (Standard) Modified Ibanez Tube Screamer (more gain, removed .22uF capacitor before tone circuit to take the "blanket" off) Fulltone OCD Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe (the big box version, with an Ernie Ball Volume pedal to change speed) Line 6 Delay Modeler all signal cables are Monster into '99 Vox AC30 (with Celestion Greenbacks, J/J power and Rectifier Tubes and Tungsram reissue pre-amp tubes) I also have a Leslie Model 25 that I modded for 2 speeds that

i'll second the OCD...best pedal i've ever owned...it makes the rest of my stompboxes sound better believe it or not...

why is everyone passing on the parker fly? from what i've seen, heard and played they are light, have a very resonant body, and do the electric guitar/acoustic piezo thing very well... i know they don't have much "indie street cred" (neither does the stratocaster apparently by your suggestions...and i think the strat is even MORE versatile than a tele) but they are solid instruments... one day i hope jeff or nels picks one of these up and plays it for a tour...mayhap that will change perceptions... hmm... i think your best move is to play each and every one of those axes and find the

i know i've only posted here a couple of tmes (but i lurk a lot) my band has a gig at the blairstown inn in blairstown, nj this friday of any are interested... we're called tweede kamer...

i'm still adjusting to it...have to set up my amplifier and pedals differently than i did with th strat...used it rehearsal for the 1st time this week and found that the thicker neck as actually EASIER on my hand than the thinner fender neck...now i just have to take it back to guitar center to have the nut slots cut a bit deeper and it will be golden... the sound is what got me...and the upper register access...i feel like i have to relearn the 2nd octave of the guitar because there's so much more of it than on the strat...it's nice... besides that...it was one of those things where i sai
