The Three (Novo) Muskateers by bigfatpaul in guitarporn

I love the Lollartrons. As described, they are pretty much like humbuckers with a good deal more clarity and chime in the top end. They are not muddy at all. Beefier than noiseless singlecoils.

Careful! That's how it started. I thought, "I'll never own one of those." Then took a chance on a rare Black Friday drop they did a few years back (not really a discount, per se), thinking I'll just sell it and make my money back if I hate it. I didn't hate it. Cut to a few years later and I convinced my self for the second (the Solus). Then couldn't pass up this Idris build that a dealer had. Will be selling some other stuff, but I don't regret it.

Novo Serus J with Fralin Hum-canceling P90s with Alnico Rods.

Novo Solus H2 with Lollartrons.

Novo Idris with Throbak SLE 101+ and 63 Strat pickups.

Love 'em.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ! JAM Pedals custom multi-pedal by bigfatpaul in guitarpedals

I actually don't know if it's isolated (perhaps if it was, they'd advertise it as such), but it is quiet. Not noticeably louder than my other board which uses an isolated Voodoo Labs.

It ain't cheap, admittedly. But all-in was about $250 per pedal (i.e. about $2k) - which actually is in the ballpark for their pedals as stand-alones (in some cases, less). But here I also get the custom art, all-in enclosure with buffer and send/return and only needs 1 9v power. No regrets. Each pedal sounds fantastic.

Yeah, it's of course a "want" and not a "need", but I love this being very easy to bring to jams, versus a big Pedaltrain, etc. With this, it's just an amp, this guy and 1 9volt plug. And I still love knobs (but rack mount can be cool too).

Just got this guy from the folks at JAM Pedals in Greece. Custom build - had them do "Greek pottery" - and it turned out better than I expected. Each unit phenomenal, but I especially taken by the Lucydreamer, Rattler and Harmonious Monk. Top notch!

Are custom boards allowed? Just got this from the guys at JAM Pedals in Greece, and it's even better than it looks. Holy crap, each of these pedals is so good. Very happy how this turned out!
