I decided to try out some Joyo boxes.
My tubescreamer and grunge are both on their last leg (they can only be resoldered so many times)
I got the Dynamic Compressor, Analogue Delay, Extreme Metal and Vintage overdrive.
Bad cell phone night time pic:
guitar to amp is: Compressor > Lightly Modded DS-1 > Vintage overdrive > Extreme Metal > BYOC Flanger > CE-5 Chorus > Delay
I've never used a compressor before, and after a few minutes, i can see why people like 'em. It does exactly what i thought a compressor does.
The Overdrive sounds like a tubescreamer. Exactly like the TS-5 it's replacing, but with a bit more range on both sides of the gain and tone.
The Extreme Metal sounds very close to the grunge, but has a little more mid range i can't seem to find a way to get rid of (has a 3 band EQ rather than 2 on the grunge). it also has less gain(yay). I suspect the grunge is also based off of a metal muff circuit.
The delay is cool too, but I don't know how to properly use one yet.
and I also got a 98 MIM at a pawn shop for $138 a few days after Christmas. Stripped it down completely, scrubbed it clean (other peoples finger dirt is gross) straightened and shimmed the neck, and swapped the pups to something different.
