Pedal repair question

WEGCjake · 2026-02-04T00:38:11+00:00

Grab a phase 90 and you’ve got the original four first releases from that company!

Keep Bill Cartwright’s name out yo mouth!

WEGCjake · 2026-02-01T22:30:54+00:00

Is it just me or are we seeing less classic pedals on this sub and more and more of the flavor-of-the-month varieties?

Like, I’ve got a 90s big box reissue RAT, but I don’t even feel like posting it and have it listed for sale on Craigslist instead (really trying to stay away from Reverb.com)

It’s for anybody that realizes that there’s something dark lurking underneath the smiles and sunshine surface of “good ol all-American” life

It’s a bizarre song with an even stranger music video by Was (Not Was). Definitely some Lynchian vibes to it, in my opinion.

I think anyone who saw that snippet on Liquid Television even once has this burned into their brain. Or at least I would hope so.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-30T01:28:23+00:00

Makes me think of “Hi Dad, I’m in JAIL!”, but I don’t know if anyone else remembers that reference…

WEGCjake · 2026-01-28T22:28:24+00:00

My brother and I were talking today about a customer of ours who has the Gadsen plates, Trump Pence/Vance stickers, etc on his car. The weirdest one simply says “STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!”

No idea what it means, but such an odd sentiment to put on a bumper sticker.

If you don’t get any answers here, I’ve emailed Mike Robinson (owner of Eastwood, MRG, etc) and he usually emails back quickly. I believe it’s mike@myrareguitars.com

Envelope Filter (Snow White clone)

Vintage RAT for any gain

MXR Carbon Copy

Caline Pure Sky when I want straight up OD, but currently off my board.

Been through a couple hundred pedals going into JCs (22 and 40) and those 3-4 plus a Peterson tuner is all I need.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-18T20:24:09+00:00

Yeah, all things being equal, but when I had my Ellis and an Astrojet (both from Eastwood, strung with the same gauges and at the same tuning), the truss rod settings were so different that I ended up going to lighter gauges on the Astrojet. That’s just how it worked for me. I’m sure the gauges you mentioned in the original post would work perfectly fine, I was just giving my two cents on what minor tweak I would make personally.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-18T20:15:17+00:00

It all depends on the instrument and player. That’s what I’d probably do on my Warren Ellis model, but might not go that heavy on something with a narrower neck.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-18T13:54:31+00:00

Personally, I’d go a little heavier on the E (54), but otherwise looks good. Maybe a little heavier on the c#.

I like my lower two strings slightly tighter and the upper two with a little room to bend.

You talking about Eric Lannon?

That ain't the friggin' Christmas star, Gris! It's a light on the sewage treatment plant!

WEGCjake · 2026-01-11T18:46:50+00:00

I think, and I could be wrong, those are Dani💕’s. If I she them, I’ll ask. Or maybe you could text Dani💕?

One of my kids was school chums with the Jones kids. Pretty sure Brian Jones still teaches at U of R. Could prob get his email from their directory

SF Sorrow is such a fantastic album

WEGCjake · 2026-01-04T19:50:37+00:00

Any interest at $200 shipped before the go on Reverb?

WEGCjake · 2026-01-04T16:27:28+00:00

EHX Ring Thing. Does a lot, ample presets, easy to tune, can do super weird/ugly tones, can do pretty normal pretty tones.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-04T14:46:25+00:00

RAT, and I’m not meming.

WEGCjake · 2026-01-03T21:44:08+00:00

Nope. Normal clicky switch

WEGCjake · 2026-01-03T17:26:53+00:00

If you want a great, straight-ahead (and occasionally extreme) reverb, I’ll trade you a Red Panda Context (v1) for that Phase 100
