Cool, let us know your impressions if you get down and mess with'em. Re the MXR Micro Amp, I've heard that not all are created equal. Is there any truth to that. (Sorry if this is too far off topic.)

When you say works the same, you mean sounds the same, right? Have you messed with the internal dip switches yet? I don't have the cash for any new toys this month, but realized I can use my Boss PQ-4 and Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer as clean boosts for the F-50. The PQ-4 works great for...

Yesterday I tried boosting my G&L Legacy with a Barber Launchpad through the F-50's clean channel. I'm trying to get more gain out of this channel for rock lead sounds but didn't really get all the way there with that set up. I've also tried using a Nobels ODR-1 dialed for clean boost but didn't...

Elvis, can you suggest some resistor values to start with for this mod?

I just got a vintage MIJ (post-Musictronics) Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer, and am struggling to get the compression to sound natural. So far I've had some success making micro-adjustments to the BIAS trimpot in the back. Anyone else have experience with these things, and care to share?

Hickory, I used the original black one for about 5 years, and the only pedal I swore I'd never part with...until they made the red one. It does look a a lot cooler, unless you prefer low-visibility pedals, which I did for a time. With the new yellow LED, you will never wonder whether it's on...

Cheers, shytfaycse. I'll stick to mono cables for mixers.

:cry: My landlord paid a visit Sunday morning to complain about the volume. Ok, so I got a big carried away but the amp sounded soooo good! He told me not to use that amp without headphones under any circumstances. I was a bit traumatized by this new zero-tolerance policy, and couldn't even...

I burned my fingers ruining a perfectly good patch cable, but it was worth it for the extra control I get over the volume with this little trick. Many thanks, Jimmy8!

Hey, has anyone tried any lighter neodymium magnet speakers in their combo? Last weekend's gig really left my legs feeling sore moving my F-50 in and out of the venue, after running around all day setting up the PA and DJ'ing for a wedding before/after the live music. So I'd like to try an...

After using a Boss AB-2 to test my two ODRs, there's no doubt about it: two externally identical pedals sound different. A is the first one I acquired. It has NO serial number, but on the inside of the bottom plate there is a black plastic plate that looks like it was used as a jig for...

Try Vintage Vibe pickups (www.vintagevibeguitars.com). You can change the base magnets to tailor the attack, tone and output to your guitar. It's like getting two pickups for the price of one!

I've also read that, but it was in reference to the first batch of Chinese-made reissues. These were made in Korea. I'm wondering if since I was running the pedals in series, the buffer from the first one was preserving the highs, or the input buffer from the second one was sucking tone from...

Well, the two ODR-1's I have DO NOT sound the same at the same settings. They DO both sound good, but one is very crispy with the Spectrum cranked, while the other has more hair with the gain cranked. Both are Made in Korea. I wish I understood more about circuit design so I could tell if the...

I LOVE the blue PX4. My only advice is try the DYNA effect for clean sounds. The amp models don't have a lot of clean headroom, so I often just turn them off, and use DYNA to brighten the sound. Also use a GOOD pair of headphones with high sensitivity like a Sony MDZ-700 or Koss Porta Pro. Same...

Actually, I got another one these for my weekly beer money. Greedy of me. :twisted: I guess the Japanese are not hip to this pedal yet. I want to A/B it to the other for consistency. If it's the same, I'll probably sell in on eBay. Do Boogie Board members buy/sell from each other?

I don't hear a THING with the master at less than 9 o'clock. I thought it was normal.

The same kind of idiot who would stay up all night playing his strat after restring his guitar with heavy strings without set-it up, then sleep in a storage closet at work the next day before going to a jam session, carry his own tube amp over tables rather than use a solid and predictable...

Thanks for this post. I had a similar dilemma initially, but needed a speaker mute/headphone jack, so I got the F-50 for half as much. The extra switches and contour knob would have been nice, but it's good to know that can get those extras with pedals so I'm not missing anything. Of course...

I guess so... Anyway, I put the Boogie STR-440s back in the amp. No more issues, and I think they sound better for crunch sounds. Thanks for your help.
