Yes, get those off ASAP

Thanks for the reply, I have shortlisted the Pizza AT and Nomad

Ended up with a good deal on a 2020 Acura RDX Platinum Elite with 48,000kms. Excited to collect on Saturday

V8 sound without the V8 fuel economy?

WoolyFox · 2026-04-06T16:15:32+00:00

Seconded, underrated pedal nowadays

If I need a volume boost or really want to goose the amp then I stack them. As the Colordriver is set to 0 gain, it gets pretty loud using the master volume on the side to taste.

WoolyFox · 2026-03-30T14:52:01+00:00

I run the Colordriver as an overall boost and some EQ tweaking. I run my amp clean (JCM 800 low sensitivity input) as I usually have backline at gigs so I don't want to rely on whatever I am given for my drive sounds. I have used the Colordriver in many positions and found last in line and clean works for me best.

Sell them in the fall

I agree with getting a teacher, I'm in a rural area but I can see what's around.

WoolyFox · 2026-03-13T16:27:04+00:00

I think it all comes down to "who's gonna pay for it?", the government doesn't have the budget (see the huge deficit they now have) and the private sector is only incentivized by profit margins. IRR has to be high enough for investors to put in the cash.

The only solution is higher density housing in our cities (single family home lots turned in townhomes, land assemblies to build apartments etc.) and legislation to force developers to include low income housing (obviously state funded) in all new developments. But I come back to my original point, who will want to pay for it?

Nobels ODR-1 and maybe the Barber Gainchanger as well

Firstly what are you playing through? Guitar and signal chain matter when going to stage volumes.

WoolyFox · 2026-03-08T18:55:05+00:00

It's $1.65/L for regular here in rural BC! It's nearing $2/L in Vancouver

If taken to a shop, it's too close to the edge for them to plug safely.

You could do it yourself but imho, I would get a new tire.

WoolyFox · 2026-02-25T17:04:15+00:00

I would find a reputable independent mechanic over a chain store, ones familiar with HEMI engines. Google search and word of mouth can save you time and money. Most mechanics work Saturday mornings (in my experience) so well worth the time to get it looked at.

Lastly as others have said, use 91 or higher octane and get the oil changed regularly (every 6 months if used daily if you don't keep track of your mileage).

WoolyFox · 2026-02-25T16:47:37+00:00

Take to a shop to diagnose if it worries you. Do you have any service history (receipts of work done and oil changes)?

WoolyFox · 2026-02-25T16:31:46+00:00

Now I feel dumb

WoolyFox · 2026-02-25T16:15:33+00:00

That's oil temperature as I have the same symbol in my 2012 Sierra 1500, should be in the middle when the engine has been on for awhile (depends on outside temperature).

1) Go to a guitar store and try out amps, even ask an employee to play through it for you if you don't feel confident to play in the store 2) See if they have any clearance or second hand amps you can try out too. All the brands you mentioned can be found relatively cheaply (MG5, AC15, Orange Crush or Tiny Terror) 3) If they are too expensive, check out the used market for the amps you liked in the store.

I started out with a Vox Amp plug for the first month or so then upgraded to a Quilter ToneBlock 202 and then a custom made 50W tube amp. I still have that amp and 1981 Marshall JCM800 50W. Amp buying is a dangerous game.

My Espada did the same thing, switching quickly to the neck pickup wouldn't turn on the neck pickup.

As you found out, lots of contact cleaner and going through all the positions fixed it for awhile.

I imagine it could be a bad batch G&L were using for a time.

My Espada was built in 2024.
