There are definitely better options out there for not too much more money than the ZBTs. I just added an 18" Zildjian S Series Medium Thin crash. I went for inexpensive without going too cheap ($90 used+$18 shipping) from Musicians Friend/Gtr Ctr). I'm very pleased with it, and to my ears, it...

My new Ludwig Keystone set (I had the Yamaha snare already). I was looking for better cymbals from a friend of a friend at work, and ending up buying a whole set for a price that was low enough that I would have been an idiot to pass up. Still need to replace a couple of the cymbals though. He...

They only had two (in the U.S. anyway), but Badlands' Voodoo Highway pretty much went straight to the bargain bins. I loved it then and I love it now.

King's X - 4x

Stryper - Soldiers Under Command is a contender.

I listened to all of Sufjan Stevens' Carrie and Lowell a couple of weeks ago and loved every second of it.

Nothing too fancy, but I like it: LP Classic > [Here there be pedals] > Marshall DSL20 > Blackstar Cab with a Celestion Greenback in it. I mostly keep to the Classic Gain channel.

Amazon and Reverb have some pickup blanks that should be about the same footprint as the orig pickup ring.

* Is New Unplanned Purchase Day is a thing? Probably not, and maybe rightfully so. But anyone care to share their recent NUPs, and how do you feel about it now that the dust has settled a bit? Anyway, I went poking around my local music store today just to get out of the house for a bit and...

I like how the guy said you've given us very little to work with here, even though you had the name pretty much right. Glad you found out. Props to Wolfgansta.

I'm talking about compact pedals, as shown in the diagram. The recognizable pedals in the graphic should be right to left, not connected as shown. The standard has been right to left for much longer than 20 years. You mentioned a few brands, but which specific EHX, Vox, and Strymon pedals are...

If you're saying that most pedals before 2000 had inputs on the left and outputs on the right, that is just not true. What are some examples that you're thinking of (I'm genuinely curious, that's not a snarky challenge)? I'm guessing some outliers might have, but that was not at all the...

I just thought it was slightly amusing and that others might find it slightly amusing. Or we could overthink it, I guess. That could be fun too.

If a beginner (the article's intended audience) were to hook up the pedals as shown, it wouldn't work.

I don't have an issue with the placement of the pedals. But if you connected everything as shown, it wouldn't work (everything's plugged into the output and comes out of the input). I understand that the lines in the diagram don't necessarily represent cables, but it looks like it. That's why it...

If so, the humor was lost on Andertons, who posted it here (scroll way down in the article).

haha -- I was wondering if someone was going to do a reverse image search. I found it on Andertons, but I didn't want to call them out.

From an article on how to set up your first pedal board. (EDIT: linked to the article.)

Welcome -- I would take any one of those. Nice.

On the very off chance you're not trolling: this is probably a little too cynical, but if you were good enough for a $3000 tele, you wouldn't be asking. PS When I was 14, this guitar cost what I considered a lot of money:

Nostalgia undoubtedly plays a role, but the big box Small Stone, Small Clone, and Big Muff are probably my favorites.

That explains it - thank you both! I'm not too interested in BBs, so back they go.

[SOLVED - thank you rockabilly69 and cap10kirk] I don't know much about Gibson pickups, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I just found (and bought) a couple of used pickups labeled Gibson 57 Classics at my favorite local music store, but I'm confused by the sticker on the back...

Likewise. I was pretty surprised by it. The styling doesn't seem very Brian Mayish.
