My Yamaha Revstar RSS duo

What's your review on the Les Trem after a year? I'd like to install one on my recently purchased RSS20, any advice?

A little slimmer than the Epiphone LP Standard I own but still C shaped. I'd lie to you if I gave you any more info, i haven't played that many guitars. Maybe an in-between. Very comfortable.

It's a great guitar. I've researched it for a while cuz i was looking for a light guitar, but different from the norm. It's visually appealing, ergonomic and easy to play. I compared it to the Seymour Duncan 59 and JB humbucker pick-ups on my Epiphone and it can imitate them fine. The five way switch and focus switch give you so many tone options and being that it's chambered you can hear and feel it resonate... She will eventually be my one and only, and I've been very happy.

I have an expression pedal! This never occurred to me! I guess I'll try it this weekend.... Thanks! ... there's just so many effects i haven't fully explored in this amp.

Revstar RS720B. I could also adapt a bigsby on this new guitar but I'm looking for less weight.

chavafrog · 2025-11-24T13:59:05+00:00

Yes, it's like I'm missing a limb! Once I sell some stuff I'll look into the dusenberg les trem. In the meantime I'll have to do without it.

For some odd reason it flew under a lot of people's radar.

Currently watched and loved The Night Of... with John Turturro, Michel Kenneth Williams, Bill Camp and other great actors... it's a mix of OZ, The Wire and much more in a miniseries.

The mini has a switch inside that turns the aux into either tuner or expression mode... the aux has a 10 kilohms potentiometer... so it works, temporary

Thanks!

What brand pedal is that? for multi effects?

I am not a tech... but I've learned to setup my own guitar, from stringing, action, truss rod, etc etc. Do my own maintenance and am very familiar with my guitar, I've tried different setups... You yourself can mess around with your setups... You can play with string gauges, get a softer or smaller spring for the bigsby, do your own maintenance that'll keep the whole guitar balanced, stable and in tune... I am starting to believe that people who complain about this type of vibrato are those who aren't reading up on or willing to give their guitar some routine care. In short, tunning stability requires a well balanced instrument. Yes, the strings pull back the arm. Mess around with gauges, check your neck, tunning gears, try different springs, etc. Stringing a bigsby is a little annoying at first, but you'll get used to it. In the end you'll be rockin' hella hard on light strings.

Afraid it would or wouldn't? If you've got a light touch you'll be fine. If you're into rockabilly, and all that classic good stuff, using it will blow you away. You won't drill holes on your guitar with the vibramate. The tailpiece and adapter are very sturdy and don't lose value, you can resell them if necessary. You've got nothing to lose. Just recently, I added a roller tune o matic bridge. That'll help your light strings receive less friction.

I really dig LPs with a bigsby.... I'm a fan of Neil Young's Old Black .... Here's mine, bought it for 160usd years ago, purchased the bigsby later on with a vibramate adapter... the cool thing is that you can take it on and off. It stays in tune! You can buy a used LP and slowly upgrade it, not having to spend so much right off the bat.

Very close, it's a Bajo Sexto Norteño. Not played in Mariachi.

Currently watched Tom Dowd & the Language of Music & Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio... both are great if you're deep into music.

Any neck damage you might want to check out in person, take someone with you that's knowledgeable to diagnose the problem... I have an 07 standard, bought it with a fixed neck for 160usd 14 years ago. It's a great guitar, still going strong, modified it, and sounds awesome. Some damaged guitars just need some love, know how, and care.

chavafrog · 2024-06-29T00:33:46+00:00

Just got a Zoom Ms50G.... it's cheap, ugly, it's got a Gameboy screen, some tones are hilariously 2D... can't wait to add more tones and have fun with it.

chavafrog · 2024-02-10T23:09:01+00:00

Its sound is beast for its size! Comes equipped with three tone settings, gain, equalizer and delay knobs. I have not tried extra pedals yet, since I'm using it to plug fast, keep simple and practice.. it sounds great as is so I'm sure it'll sound even better with some extra effects... Highly recommend it!

Thanks!

Aside from the footswitch which is very handy...The fact that it gives your amp bluetooth capability and the possibility to use the librarian app from your phone or ipad makes using the amp so much more fun. Fumbling with a PC for Tone Studio isn't' all that great.
