If you have two sound sources and hypothesize that one is more compressed than the other (in this case, a guitar plugged into both channels of the bud with an ABY pedal; one channel with input gain...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

Oh, c'mon, it's just kind of amusing.

D'Angelico - Have they fallen out of favor now that they're "Korean made"

Wine "Rustoleum" Red and Ebony are the cheap Gibson finishes. No impact on tone or playability. But they are the lowest cost finish and hence you should not pay too much for them. Natural costs the...

The open string and 12th fret harmonic will always be in tune with each other. The 12th fret harmonic should also be in tune with the same string fretted at 12th fret. Is that the case?

Ibanez archtop with 0.010 Thomastik strings and rosewood bridge intonation issues

RP, My guess is that it allows you to match the signal strength coming into the input while the output from the gain to the volume is fixed. My pickups are hot so I keep my input gain at around...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

I think they are open to setting the price within a small range. I'm not sure, though. I went along with their suggestions.

Thanks for this. I don't think I understand the difference between preamp gain and level control. Apparently, the level control doesn't affect the sound in the way a preamp gain control does. Is...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

You literally copy and pasted my OP from this thread: Vintage D'Angelico electrics (jazzguitar.be) , but somehow seemed to get the facts wrong.

/methinks the L5 really has become the Golf of the guitar world - there are so many different variations that are usually so far from the original that one wonders why Gibson still have other model...

Rare "L5"

If I had the extra money I'd get one of the custom luthiers such as Holst, Campellone, Baker etc to try and build me a 15 "L5". Wonder if they would sound the same? Something tells me no. ( I've...

Rare "L5"

Interesting. How do you test compression with a dB meter?

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

It should be rare, as in "red headed step child " rare! I get the feeling that someone had this guitar custom made and Gibson never told them that they had no sense of colour or design!!! Doug

Rare "L5"

Also-at first I never noticed the finger tail piece; I'm so used to seeing them on Heritage guitars that it slipped right by. Whooosh! :-) Doug

Rare "L5"

The add says it appears to be a Lee Ritenour model in all but name. A limited run/one off from the Gibson Crimson Team.

Rare "L5"

Well, an instrument with a lot of acoustic properties is not always what's needed...that's why 175's remain popular. Though a lightly built 50's 175 has a surprising amount of acoustic oomph. The...
