I used dance too buddy nowadays the belly puts me off balance!!

I am glad you like the modz...nothing like having tube breakup at bedroom level.

 

[faizal_rocks]

Haha, thanks Goose..the speaker has already broken in fully by now until the point that it sounds too bright for me when I play my Strat, no problem, just adjust the tone control

 

[gsonique]

If you are like two foot away ...:mrgreen:

Where is your tone knob at ?

 

[faizal_rocks]

At 2 O Clock...hehe

 

[gsonique]

Hi all

I recorded myself playing a Fender Strat thru my mod Epi VJ. 2 video demos of it. The only effect pedal I use is a Behringer Dynamics Compressor pedal. Other than that, I select high gain on the VJ and the volume knob is at 3 o clock.

1st demo:

Enjoy!

Latest update!

The switch on the low/hi input was faulty so I brought it back to Goose for him to change it. He also did some tweaking in the electronics and now the overdrive sounds smooth and clearer to the ears. I plugged in my Epi Dot with Tesla humbuckers and was awed by the tone. Amazing..hehe..I can't wait to plug in my Strat right after I do the upgrades to it.. Didn't see this coming but the labels are really unique

Looks like Epiphone has been paying attention to all the VJ mods:

Hey faizal, real nice nice VJR u got there, i am damn sure that it sounds awesome especially after goose's upgrades! I wonder how it compares with my blackheart goose mod.......hmmmm. But i guess it should sound different since both amps were modded with different tone specs in mind.......BTW LOVE THE STICKERS!!!

 

[gsonique]

MrBukka ...post yours!!

The major differance is that VVR on Faizals which allows him play amp gain full throttle and watch TV at the same time .....

 

[Ized]

mango mods reminds me of mangojuice...hehe

 

[MrBukka]

Haha i will post it up goose, once i have the time to do it. Btw i am not sure whether ized has mentioned to u, but both of us may be paying u a visit soon regarding phasers. Man it's been a long time since we chat huh.......

 

[gsonique]

Yup ...so the mangojuice is based on ?? *hint-hint*

Sure Bukka ....

 

[MrBukka]

Hmmmmm guess..........it is based on a train wreck? I may be wrong hehhehe......

 

[Ized]

Yup ...so the mangojuice is based on ?? *hint-hint*

Sure Bukka ....

Million dollar answer: A Trainwreck!

Would love to have a go at faizal's amp to see whether i can get any wreck or komet tones

 

[gsonique]

just throw a TS type boost in front and hold to your guitar volume knob .....

 

[Ized]

cool....will have a go at it soon!

One thing about your stuff goose...it dosent only just sound good but it looks good with that "special touch of customisation" as well!
