    thanks

    well how did u get started cuz i really want to try building a pedal. ive been looking at the tweako kit but i dont have a whole lot of money and i thought buying stuff from radio shack would be cheaper. if its not i will get the tweako
  3. Haggard Cky
    i mean how does it affect the sound. like whats the difference between a low one and a high one?
  4. Haggard Cky
    the reason i choose the micro amp is cuz it looked like the easiest one there. wut does the different values of the resistors do?
  5. Haggard Cky
    i plan on building the MXR micro amp or the Distortion +.
  6. Haggard Cky
    isnt there a way where u can add them together? i dont no where i heard that but is it true
  7. Haggard Cky
    ok i just got some resistors from my school and i decided to build a pedal. here are the values and amount i have of each six 24ohms +/- 5% five 30ohms +/-5% six 20ohms +/-5% four 130ohms +/-5% three 43ohms +/-5% six 91ohms +/-5% wuts the difference between them, like would a higher value give me more gain or something like that? i plan of building a distortion pedal. could i get the rest of the parts i need from radio shack or frys? i no radio shack is way over priced but i dont feel like dealing with ordering them off the internet what else would i need?

    what are you going to be doing to the other body (the messed up one)?
  9. Haggard Cky
    the only problem i see with those headstocks is u might hit your hands on the "horns" that are at the bottom. besides that they r pretty badass.

    i like mahogany but i was just curious on wut other woods are out there that sound simular. ill prolly use mahogany in the end but i want to know all of my options because i dont want to regret my purchase later. but thatks for the help
  11. Haggard Cky
    did u get rid of the other capacitor or do u have 2 for one pot?
  12. Haggard Cky
    based off what your saying i dont think ill be using it since it is my first build. but wut would be a good wood that has a tone simular to mahogany and easy to work with. i have nothing against (sp?) mahogany but i want to see if i can find a something that has an intresting or different grain. not sure if this helps but i play mainly rock and metal. thanks for all the help so far

    i was wondering what are the tonal properties of Padouk? I personaly think it would look great with an ebony fret board. how would that sound? also how would a Padouk body sound and would it look good?
  14. Haggard Cky
    wow that is turnin out great. wut kind of pickups r u going to be using?
  15. Haggard Cky
    has anyone ever had experiance with the guyaton Slow Volume? or any other guyaton effects? all help is greatly appreciated
  16. Haggard Cky
    one of the first things i did when i saw the price was look at the schematic. now not only does that look confusing but ive never built a pedal before and i think i should build somethin easier like a boost. and the GT-8 is a lil expensive for me. and i really dont like multi effects
  17. Haggard Cky
    ive been searching for a while now looking for a boss SG-1 but i can only find them on ebay for like 300-400 bucks. now i dont really have the money to buy that. does anyone here know of a pedal that can do the same thing as the Slow Gear but isnt over 150? or do u know where i can get one?
  18. Haggard Cky
    what u can do is go ahead and do everything u want to the squire and later but or make a better body. this is what im doing with my squire. im puting lace red blue and silver pups in it and repainteding it. this can teach you what you need to know and u can make it sound good when you get a new body.
  19. Haggard Cky
    do u still have a pic of ur prototype (LP-Explorer)? cuz that sounds pretty intresting
  20. Haggard Cky
    well i just put the pick gaurd on and it looked bad. i didnt do a good job on the fading part so to fix it im painting it all black and it should look good. EDIT: the pick gaurd looks good but that bottom corner looks a little empty so i am going to be putting a design but im still not sure on wut to put.
  21. Haggard Cky
    the back is the same as the front, white at the bottom then it fades to black. the pick guard is the opposite, and the neck starts off black then it fades to white. im not sure if im going to be putting a design, ill decide once im done with the pick gaurd which should be dry in an hour or 2.
  22. Haggard Cky
    ok right now im repainting my strat and i was planing of doing a EVH style paint but when i was puttin the tape on it didnt look too good. so i decided to try and make a stencil for my band and spray it. well the stencil was made out of a cereal box and didnt work too good. so now wut im going to do is have it start black on the top then fade to white. i have that part done and it doesnt look to bad but now i need to put something on the bottom and on the back. but i dont no wut to put. wut do u think i should put?
  23. Haggard Cky
    alright thanks for all the help. i think im going to start working on this in a few months
  24. Haggard Cky
    well wut tools would i need? i have a soldering iron but is there anything else i would need?
  25. Haggard Cky
    Do not get a MetalHead. all ive heard is bad things about them. if i were you id get a tube, they sound so much nicer than a SS. look into the peavey XXX and even the Marshall JCM 800/900.
