[BMXGUY]

hi whats the stratoblaster like to install inside of the cavity,is the external model better, where would everything go, also would it work good with a set of lace holy grails in my strat.

Thanks sorry for the long list of questions

What excatly is the stratoblaster? I've never heard of it. Surely you don't want to blast your stratocatser. Is it some type of preamp, or distortion module?

It's a single JFET preamp, no tonal coloration to speak of - here's what Harmony Central has to say: Alembic Stratoblaster

i saw that too. of course you could always build a zvex SHO or a Mosfet booster, the mosfet is a pure non coloration device. where as the jfet is nearly pure. depends on how well you perceive the tonalitys of harmonics and such. we did a test on the diy forum and over half the people couldnt hear the harmonic distotrion at 1%.

but anyway you could build a SHO or mosfet booster and put it in the guitar.. the current draw is like 4ma so the battery would last for years.

my vote is for the SHO i have used mine for quite a while now. of course it ads a little coloration to my ears but it is completely musical in the fact that it sounds better with every gutiar i put through it.
