The byang pedals sound like the Akai pedals to me. Man I need to cut my hair, its too long now. Its only 6 inches from touching my waist!!! I'm gonna cut it all short, screw it.

I can't find another Lefty guitar I like. Either they are neck heavy, or have thick necks. I want a short scale with a thin neck, for standard tuning. And keep my Strat in drop tuning. I was thinking of maybe a SX short scale. Its 24, with a 20 mm neck. Only 1 1/2 at the nut, but that really shouldn't be a problem. My Banjo is a V profile, and only 1 inch at the nut. I don't wanna blow money building another guitar, cause I gots to buy a new car. My drifter done died.
I could also do a Lefty Douglas Peragro. Full size Strat body, with a 24 scale neck. I would have to sand it down, as its 22 MM at the first fret. I like around 19.5

I'm gonna sell my Strat and pedals, and get a salem guitar. The Sad Fester is what I've been wanting.

Went ahead and ordered a lefty Peragro to play with. I need to make sure I like the short scale, before I sell my Strat.

ss amps i have include tech 21 trademark 10, trademark 30, 2 powerengines (1x12 and a 4x10). ss modeling pedals that work with the powerengines, tech 21 tri ac, tech 21 character british(v2) , liverpool (v1), blonde (v1), gni amp simulator, and amt e-1 legend series.
i also have some amt drive series pedals but i use those in front up tube amps usually (o drive, p drive, and recently aquired b drive).

A couple people at old HC had the Tech 120 combo and 300 head. That 300 head was so f'ing loud lol. I wanted one, but they got discontinued.

No idea Kruger. I need to go play the new Randalls sometime. Gape might know.
So whats up with the new effects loop system they came up with.
They made it seem like a tradiotional loop isnt built in to the circuitry of the amp and is sort of just in the chain somewhere in there.
I guese if the effects loop was in the circuitry effects you use respond as if they were a part of the amps circuitry?!?!?
How is this effects loop diffrent than what everybody else uses.
Im not disclaiming or accusing them of mis advertisement on the contrary I am quite ammused with this new aproach.
Does someone know exactly how it works?
You can put any pedal (instrument level) in the loop without it screwing up the signal.

Got the Douglas Peragro. surprisingly the necks straight, and the frets are level. No sharp ends either. I did sand down and reshaped the neck, cause I didn't dig how it felt. Now it feels a lot better. The color is also a lot darker, and better looking then on their site. The hardwares crappy, but its ok for now. I just need to shape the nut better, and refinish the neck, and it should be good.

I remember seeing a used one, but never got to hear it. Well I shaved the shoulders off the neck, and took it from 22mm to a little under 20. I sanded until it was super smooth, and finished it with Minwax wipe on satin poly. It feels great. This poly dries quick, and is very easy to use

Neck had a slight upbow to it. Took three days to get the neck to play without any buzz. I would replace the neck, but I heard it was a 24 conversion neck? Can you even buy those?

When I play the Douglas, then my Strat, you can really feel, see, hear the difference. It doesn't compare to the fender.

Thanks man! I sure hope so, because the THR10's are the best modelers i've ever played. Even the $1500 DV Mark Multiamp I bought couldnt really match the tone and feel of my THR10/10X

Sure did. Its a great unit for recording or playing alone but in a band mix my 60 watt tube heads buried it
