Just got a the G Screamer and Decimator II in. Don't know how it was possible to improve on the Decimator, but they did it.
The G Screamer is somewhat dark sounding in front of my AMT SS-30, and that's not a bad thing. That makes two non-honky overdrives I own. It also comes with a little 9V adapter. The Krankshaft is still king, though. The tone knob has the widest sweep I've ever used.

That's my next pedal until the Blackstar one comes out. Tube Cake and the tiny $69 Randall cab will be my final gear purchases of the year that are rig related.
Next up is my graphite neck.

The Lead100 is not a hi-gain amp by any means but it has a decent crunch and its freekin LOUD. Whats the deal with ebay selling sig Hetfield snakebites with a fullbore included? Is he supposed to be using that pedal now?
Probably trying to promote it more. I can't see him using one.

Aren't those necks really heavy?

He plugged an MXR distortion straight into the board for some solos back in the day.

What guitar are you putting the neck on? I would like to do a USA customs neck for my Strat. Really thinking about it.

I'm having a body built. Looking at two different people right now.
My JCustom FX bridge required a shim (made of stainless steel) to be a proper height on this cheap Steinberger clone I have. I'm thinking of using the shim on the new body I have made so that it adds weight to the end and balances perfectly with the heavy graphite neck.

I would still like to try the Railhammer anvil, and Duncan black winter. See how they compare to the Duncan distortion.

Got my Randall RG3003H today and it kicks ass! Crushing tones.
Not so sure about built in noise reduction. Works better than nothing but prefer my pedal. The good thing is it is disabled when switching to clean channel. It does alright killing noise from amp but lets noise in from my OD pedal up front. I was using the built in noise suppressor and ISP together and it was dead silent.

Yeah, I was starting to regret trading my T2 but, I think I like the 3003 just as good If not better.
This does not sound like an amp that cost $400 new.

Damn really? Better than the T2??? I just sold my T2 actually last week... missing it already but I still have the V2 atm.
I have the Titan as well but I bet this sounds way more modern, on channel 3 at least.
How's the low end sit compared to the T2? The T2 was so in your face with low end, but still tight, with the right cab.

Played a Mustang, and would like to have a short scale guitar to play with. But I'm not paying a grand for a Cobain model, and the only other lefty is the one douglas guitar. I wonder how crappy it is? And no rosewood fingerboard sucks.

How short of a scale would you like?

A 24 scale. Maybe i'll just get another LP type guitar.

HVAC cleaners came in, and I was terribly sick afterwords, and I never get sick.
My new body should arrive in a week or two, btw. Then I'm gonna stain it while the neck is being built.

Looks cool, but they're a bit late.
The little Zoom units have higher quality delays.

I really want to try the 300w Randall. I am a big fan of good SS amps.
