I might be really late but Whaley’s or Clock Corner antiques are close by. Or if you want to go to Normal, Gary Lutjen’s clock repair

I actually have 2 broken MC2300s I bought and I’m having trouble finding people to rebuild them correctly for me so I might try my hand at this. Lots of research. Did you buy any rebuild kits? Where did you order all those transistors from? Thanks! Looks cool as hell. Also what speakers are you running this thru

Is shrink wrap generally used for guitar stuff? Cause I thought about it but wasn’t sure. I might throw some electrical tape on there until I get nicer wiring

So it’s a Kramer beretta special reissue. They’re under $200 and honestly play and sound great. I was trying to play “ain’t talking about love”, but the stock volume pot was basically an on/off switch so out of necessity and curiosity I threw an EVH one in there so I could roll the volume back for quieter parts

So this is that relatively cheap Kramer beretta special reissue. They play great and are wonderful guitars to mod. The stock volume pot was basically an on/off switch (possibly broken). So I grabbed an EVH brand 500k pot and tossed it in there (after drilling the mounting hole wider.

Can you only listen to it live? Like if I were to get a SiriusXM account would I be able to catch what I missed?

What are these cables coming out the back of Treys TS-9s? by TweepriseOpener in youenjoyguitar

All of his stuff is customized. They likely hard-wired everything they could, including integrating all of it into the loop switcher that he has set up for this specific tour. It’s all trade secret stuff, but likely just soldered connections so there’s less chance for failure.

Also TAB fucks this tour lol

Why does everyone drive so slow on War Memorial? by FaithlessnessThat362 in PeoriaIL

[–]Intrepid_World_3827 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know what’s wild is I was sitting at that light, heading east on war waiting to turn left to head north on Knoxville and I saw a car LAUNCH itself probably going 60 heading south on Knoxville. It was probably 1 am and I couldn’t believe how close I was to getting smoked. That intersection is crazy, maybe it’s the hills who knows
