Thanks a lot for the advices, slash-ed ! Yes, when I was thinking about where to place the Phase 90 I just looked at the Slash pedalboard and it was right after the wah pedal and before any boost, so.. :bgrin I will try noise gate in the loop, thanks for telling about the reverb and delay, I didn't ...

Got my SG back few weeks ago.. but wasn't able to make some photos untill today. I like the difference. Much more easier to do legato, bends and bends+vibrato. And the nut is lower than it was before, so now it sounds in tune while playing the open chords. But in some places it doesn't look so good ...

surfnorthwest , Phase 90 kicks ass when it's in front of the amp (it even adds some gain) but I didn't like it in the loop. What about Micro Chorus pedal, I thought since it's the modulation pedal then it will be right to put it in the FX Loop. But I will try it in front also. I didn't mean that I ...

I want to make myself a pedalboard with these pedals. I will use it with AFD100, VM2466, Blackstar HT-5 and Class5 combo. Any advice about the chain setup? I'm not sure about Phase90-GE7-TS9 chain.. And what about the Noise Gate, should I put it in the begining of the chain or, since AFD100 has a Se...

Sounds really good!

Cadblaster, I'm waiting for my SG too. Decided to refret it with Dunlop 6100 frets.
Few days ago I've got myself a new guitar and it has Jumbo frets installed already, and these frets are really cool. We won't be disappointed when we get our guitars back!

That's a good price for a Les Paul Studio. Let us know what you think about this guitar when you get it.
And Class 5 is an awesome amp, nice choice!

The voltage is 220V and I set the bias at 38-39mA. I think that it's not too hot.


----------- EDIT -----------

Replaced V2 with the new JJ EL-34. No problems!

Here we go again..





And it happened just when I got myself a new guitar, and wanted to test it with my AFD. Now it's really annoying me.
I hope that it's just a tube.. Ordered one EL-34 already.

Hey Surf, will there be a difference between stainless steel and nickel/silver frets? Noob question - which one is better?

I'd choose YJM for sure. You won't be disappointed with it.

surfnorthwest , thanks for the info! As I can understand the only disadvantage of the large frets is that I will have to get used to it. I don't think it will be a problem. :Thumbs Since this guitar is my working horse for now, I think that first of all it must be as comfortable to play as possible...

I've got this SG new in 2011. I think about replacing the original frets with large size Dunlop 6100/6105, and adjusting the nut height so the strings will be much closer to first frets. (1/64" or 0.39mm at the 1st fret) What I expect is really low action (on the first frets), and much more easy ben...

It would be cool to see the amp settings.

The tone is ok. When I practice on my AFD and I don't want to make a lot of noise, I usually set a Power knob at 2 and Master at about 6-8. Sounds good to me too.
Glad to see a YJM100 owner who is a Led Zeppelin fan also. Keep these clips comming. You should add some backing tracks.
