I did a lot of reading up, and it seems that Wilde pickups get a lot of love as replacements for the T-60s. Took a bit of a punt and grabbed them, and they arrived this morning: The pickup surrounds they came with are really chunky. They seem like LP ones will get them swapped out for more low-profile metal ones, I think.

The longer it stays, the more I'm tempted to keep it 😂 -
Added the new (to me) Longsword v2 and absolutely love it 🔥🔥🔥 The Model Fet and the Longsword are such a good pairing. The Halberd gets used to adding some clank to guitar when needed. Lots of switches and settings to play around with.
-
Well, a small update, I made some tweaks and thinking of going down a more T-60 route: Didn't take any pictures but did some planing, and the body blanks are now prepped to glue. Started to get some of the components through the mail, next I'll start to get the electronics soldered 🙌

I loved the Capo. Such a good utility pedal. In the end, I replaced it with the Shiftline Olympic, which worked for me better. Since then, I've moved on to the Quad Cortex but still use my Shiftline Olympic captures for everything. Both are great though.

Yeah that makes sense, pretty much what I suspected! I think I’ll keep an eye out for any off cuts on eBay to possibly make a little hinged pedal raiser/shelf perhaps rather than a full board. Might just use some plywood offcuts I’ve got knocking around, though 👌 I did have a hacked together raise, but it's a pain to access pedals under, and it'd be nice if it looked a little better!

Just wondered if anyone had built their own pedal board using or including aluminium profile such as this: https://www.aluminium-profile.co.uk/ I was thinking a mix of this for the frame, and a 2 tier hinged section might be a fun thing to build.

Only managed to play 3 small gigs with this head, but it sounded absolutely incredible. Super compact and light for an all valve head, weighing in at around 16kg, I believe. I went from a 40kg Marshall VBA400, and for me, the sound was ever bit as good. Comes with the front and back case covers along with a padded case. If you're interested i’d check out the Handbox appreciation thread for more details: Having to downsize the office, and as I'm not gigging and don't have any musical projects on the horizon, I'm having to reluctantly put this up here. Message for any questions. Collection only could post, but it'd be on the buyer to sort it! Orange for scale, didn't have a banana. -
This thing sounds mint. I think most people are familiar with them, if not there's some great videos comparing them to the likes of the Nobel etc online. Valve preamp, nice eq options, excellent cabsim and very hight quality DI. It dethroned the Capo for me which was a pedal I never saw myself parting with. I find myself without any music projects on the go or the horizon and I’m using the QC exclusively for everything now. If I had space and money, I'd be keeping this, but having sized down the office to an ever growing offspring and the financial burdens that come with it, this is on the chopping block! I'd record some audio samples, but think I’d end up withdrawing the ad if I did! Buyer pays postage.

I'd experiment personally. Typically, you'd have it towards the end before delays and reverbs but not a hard rule.

I've made very few alterations to my board since getting the Quad Cortex. I made a few alterations last night and pretty happy. I'm really enjoying this layout, though. Got my Model feT and Cali76 as pretty much always on and a couple of dirt flavours the QC doesn't really cover. I'm really happy with the bass and guitar tones I'm getting out of this.
-
If you’re trying to capture an amp and cab then sure. I think it’s more common to pair a capture of an amp with an IR for the cab. For that you just need a DI or a load box.
-
I think a lot of people who're interested in these units have a sound that they're completely happy with already, they just want a more convenient form factor.

Someone just beat you to it, I'm afraid! -
Need to make space, free to a good home! -
Great amp, but I need space. 2 channels, valve preamp, I believe. Incredibly versatile. This developed a weird issue where it'd cut out randomly, and playing a loud not would fix it. It's very odd and probably something someone would be able to fix easily. Comes with flight case and footswitch. Need rid asap, so I'll keep it around for a week, and then it's gonna be going to a charity if they'll take it, but more likely a skip.
-
Excellent little units! -
I’ve been running the QC in to the FX return and it sounds killer.

Recommend me some modern (or not) music with upright bass
MrDinsdale replied to Dazed's topic in General Discussion
Anything with Trevor Dunn on double bass is bound to be interesting. -
Amazing! I'm really intrigued by the Prismic Wall, though I can't imagine how I'd use it!
-
Haha lovely build. My now wife was previously called Bonita Wood 🙌
-
I’m just using sketch mostly and doodling on my iPad so don’t have access to any real software. Just an SVG or even just a JPG would do!
-
Aye if you don’t mind sharing it that’d be handy. Kind of going for a very stylised version of the tele, all the bezels will be 45 degrees with no rounded edges.
-
It’s surprisingly good, it’s pretty slim, not crazy slim though. Finishing is good, fret work looks good too although I’m expecting a little fret work once it’s all together. For the amount of time it’s gonna save me it’s well worth it though. I’d say it’s every bit as good as any budget to mid level guitar I’ve ever played. I just wish you could find them without inlays, I’d prefer to use luminlay on the side and keep the top dot free ideally.

There's the body wood alongside the wenge neck. The neck was bought online as I don't hav e to make one from scratch. I also got an extra spare bit of wood for making a control plate, will use magnets to attach. So far I’m thinking something like: or with a matte black scratch plate: Kind of going for a Tele/Peavey T-60 inspired look. A Tele-60 perhaps. Going to rip off the T-60 single/humbucker tone blend electronics too.
