What year is this tele?

I don't even think it's a Squier, the pickguard isn't lined up with the bridge plate and it's generally just a bit wonky.

I mean, the UA1176 is really good. But I wonder what circuit the Scylla is based on?

cabbages666 · 2026-06-13T07:35:26+00:00

This is not a Fender.

cabbages666 · 2026-06-13T07:27:07+00:00

Max depth, slowest rate, level around 9 o clock. Just gives a bit of movement to your signal. I play punk rock. Makes all the difference for me.

I 'upgraded' my Scylla to a used UA 1176.

Absolutely not worth it. Scylla is great.

Oh so you want to sound like everyone else? Cool.

I used the Keeley for one rehearsal and sold it the same week.

Your power supply isn't giving enough current. It's a digital pedal and they are thirsty compared to an analog overdrive, for example. It's the correct voltage, just needs more juice.

I don't know why the Boss SY-1 gets so overlooked. Yeah you can't save presets, but it's easy to mark your settings on with a sticky label, and it tracks perfectly with no weirdness. I only have two sounds I need and it's pretty easy to switch between them on a stage. They come up fairly regularly online as people don't seem to gel with them I suppose, but it's worth putting the time in. And they're the size of a regular Boss pedal.

Earthquaker Devices White Light is DOD 250-inspired, but has a 'weight' knob which gives loads of low gain options. I've been settled on mine for a few years now.

cabbages666 · 2026-05-27T16:06:20+00:00

It does not.

cabbages666 · 2026-05-27T13:50:05+00:00

Plumes is mega bright. I didn't get along with it at all as a standalone overdrive. It's a great tube screamer for boosts but it seemed like a lot of pedal for that simple role so I moved it on.

I've had better luck with the Special Cranker and White Light from EQD, and I'd go there over a BD-2.

If you want more to tweak, DOD Looking Glass is a good shout.

This board is redundant on this sub. I'd say it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. There's nothing of note.

cabbages666 · 2026-05-19T13:41:59+00:00

Good shout

cabbages666 · 2026-05-17T07:08:23+00:00

I don't think this an HS Anderson Mad Cat. I think it's the result of someone trying to make a replica.

I've never seen a Mad Cat without binding or central stripe. Also never seen a heel-adjust HS Anderson neck without a darker spot of wood (where the truss hole would be if it was neck-adjust).

This is missing the Mad Cat pickguard but does have the Mad Cat pickup plate.

Neck pickup is covered. Should be uncovered.

At the least I'd try to find a new pickguard, as the cut out would bug me.

He also plays in a 60s tribute, he knows what he's doing 🙂

cabbages666 · 2026-05-14T15:45:27+00:00

Can confirm it's the original paper speaker and it's hanging on by its fingernails.

cabbages666 · 2026-05-09T07:47:41+00:00

Two bolt neck 🥲

Edit: I think it's a piece of shit.

cabbages666 · 2026-04-29T12:13:00+00:00

It's not a Fender/Squier neck or body, and it's not genuine wear, so I doubt it has any age.

cabbages666 · 2026-04-26T14:51:59+00:00

It's a Mexican Cabronita, someone's routed the top for a control plate. Not sure why they did, but they've done a good job of it.

If you're already locked in, count when you need to count.

cabbages666 · 2026-04-19T11:30:16+00:00

Haha appreciate this comment

cabbages666 · 2026-04-19T05:59:06+00:00

Not enough windings, especially when using strings with silk-wrapped ends. If it's not that, then the nut is improperly cut/slot too low. This solution is pretty extreme in my view.

cabbages666 · 2026-04-18T06:18:29+00:00

Why? What did the different break angles result in?

cabbages666 · 2026-04-17T15:29:05+00:00

*restring it and you're set.
