Epiphone's got a new 5-watter? Cool... I haven't seen it here in Australia... yet. If you do decide to buy the Blues Jr, the after-market mod most people recommend (that I've read about) is a new spe...

The Edirol UA-5 I'm using has outputs for monitors and headphones, so I'm by passing the internal soundcard and normal speakers. The generic PC soundcards & speakers are usually voiced for gaming (un...

You can't go wrong with a Strat and Tubescreamer. Rock, blues, country, you can cover nearly any genre with that combo... What amp do you play through Zig?

Hey great article ST... something to fill out my lunchtime reading...

*drool* Man - don't show pictures like that around here... I can already feel my credit card maxing out... :lol: The Les Paul Std is my dream guitar. One day I shall have one. In the mean time, ca...

Just an addendum to this thread. I caught a snipped of Janis Ian's performance a couple of nights ago on ABC and was intrigued by her. Till then, I did not know who she was or knew any of her songs. ...

Adam, I understand what you're saying because that's the exact road I've been going down these past 3-4 years. And I agree with you totally - the beauty of these digital units is that you can sample w...

One of my colleagues at work turned me on to these. He's got the standard Blues Jr in black tolex, but he mentioned to me that he saw one for sale in one of the shops in Melbourne, but when he rang to...

$70 for a new axe - I'd say you came out on top this time slej! Nooo... Adam... go analog... aaaaanaaaaaloooooog...... :lol:

I got a bit carried away while taking pictures of my pedals and guitar and thought, why not my amp too? It's a stock standard Blues Jr but dressed in lacquered tweed with a Jensen Special speaker, wh...

Pics of my latest acquisitions.... Both Keeley modified. An Ibanez TS-9DX Tubescreamer, and a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive (which means technically it should've been called the SO-1, right? Or a Super D...

Aaaaahhhhh.... You guys are not helping me suppress my GAS... :lol: Hey slej - just curious - did you get one or two guitars? I just read your second post that said that the guitar came with TWO gi...

I like to double-track my acoustic guitar - one track straight from my guitar into an Aphex Acoustic DI to the soundcard, and the other track with a Shure SM57 mic'd to the guitar. I use an Edirol UA...

Even within a given range, not all guitars are made equal. A colleague of mine recently related to me of how his friend played a Squier Strat (made in Japan) recently that sounded much better than man...

I was looking at that - have you got one? Give us a quick review!

A silly question from me, but is it worth installing a car alarm? Or is the car not worth it?

If you can't come up with a plot..... DO A REMAKE! :P War of the Worlds anyone? Going off topic for a sec, after watching the Matrix trilogy, does anyone find it hard to lend credibility to ex-Mat...
