Gasalcoholics anonymous? whoever said this was a help group?

uh oh, pup fight!

Those pickups look cool tho. Are they meant to be mounted too the body without a rout like teisco pickups? the dimensions seem almost like that

[dubkitty]

i believe the Hershey pickups are surface mount; the speed bump pickups are usually set into a pickguard, the best example of which is the Jimmy Reed Kay model/reissue. Note the brackets and height adjustment screws on the speed bumps.

[qersty]

yeah i was refering to the hershey's pickups. looked up what the speed bumps look like in a gitar, thats an interesting design

[dubkitty]

i haven't heard the speed bumps, but the Hersheys are absolutely killer. there'a a guy in the UK who makes them in a variety of form factors, and also makes a Tele bridge PU which is essentially the Cooder Supro lap steel pickup without the big metal superstructure. i'm planning a Tele around these pickups and a mahogany neck. it should be an uber-Tele and very little like a Tele simultaneously. which is what i want...i love the form factor of Teles, but have never gotten on with stock-ish Tele pickups.

There's also a bass, a DOD Carcosa and a Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS to top this off. Time to make some new music!

I say we expect an extended review of the Olympic here:

Right, vidret?

A second BOSS HM-2 and a BF-2 (MIJ) incoming.

DREAM TEAM!

I'd love to make one but I don't really have much to compare it with (save for a Twin MkII from Shift Line as well). I hope to be recording stuff with it in the coming months though, so maybe I could record a few audio examples with my setup

finally set my wallet on fire and ordered an echo dream 2

Just wanted to chime in and say I have recently sacrificed my wallet for one of these pups and don’t regret it for a second. What a great device- that modulation section is so cool, setting it really slow and on square wave so it jumps back and forth between two delay time settings every few seconds = the stuff of legend.

I've been buying too much stuff.

Gear is the mind-killer. Gear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my gear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the gear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

That little Affirm icon on reverb listings is my gom jabbar...it’s gonna kill me one day when I click buy now on a clusterflux.

Sounds sick. Love the idea of a fender with a mahogany neck

I remember hearing about these a while ago, then radio silence for many moons. Looks like it may be a thing?

Yesplease, not much to compare to other ampsim, but we want to know how it reacts to pedals, particularly when pushed by loud ones.

I find the combo of fragile looking box and stomp switch a bit weird. But they look pretty

Yeah I don't think these are really intended for pedalboard use. More of a tabletop/studio only tool. I'm a little tempted to back, but I've flipped all the Folktek gear I've ever owner, including the euro version of these pedals

[UglyCasanova]

They look great, but after having backed the mescaline Kickstarter I'd rather just pick one up used later unless they start going for silly money. It's fv-1,by the looks of it. Neat!

i know that doesn't mean what you'd think it means, but i'm still
