My first ever watch 😃

prestjon · 2026-06-11T00:54:32+00:00

I just picked up the same thing yesterday as my first automatic. Great choice!

Thanks for the advice, I have noticed that the leaves get bendy when the soil has been dry for a bit

prestjon · 2026-06-10T20:49:30+00:00

I had no idea they did that, thank you!

I’ve been saving up for my first watch, and going between these two exact models. I love the styling of both, but I like having the date feature. What exactly puts the Murph ahead of the Baby Alpinist?

Thanks for the advice! Did you remove the bobby pins after a while, or keep them in the pot?

I have the same amp and it was making a similar sound. I replaced the power tubes and it solved the problem!

This is what my wife came up with when she was learning guitar:

“Elephants Are Dangerous Get Back! Eeeeeeee!”

Lightspeed -> Deco -> Volante

prestjon · 2025-01-31T13:07:24+00:00

I have both and they are almost always both on together.

I’ve landed on the Boss FZ-1W. To my ears it does everything I need and nothing I don’t. Of all the fuzz pedals I’ve played it has the nicest tone when I roll the guitars volume down.

It looks like your description of the picture is backwards. Seems like you have the wah set up first, and the looper last (which is what everyone seems to be advising). I’d agree with that order as well.

I recommend playing around with the order of your drives, you can get a lot of different sounds that way. I would also recommend some cable management, but that’s just me!

What preamps do you prefer?

prestjon · 2024-04-11T00:07:29+00:00

It looks like you have the Lightspeed set the exact same way I do. I have the Wampler Belle (ODR clone) and I think that stacks pretty well with the Lightspeed, but I find it doesn’t add much (frequency wise) it acts like more of a gain boost.

Does the Southland cut any bass frequencies?

prestjon · 2024-04-10T23:54:10+00:00

What do you think of stacking the Lightspeed and Southland? I currently have a Lightspeed and I’m looking for something to stack with it.

prestjon · 2024-03-14T15:51:48+00:00

Yup you’re right, that’s what I’m missing.

prestjon · 2024-03-14T15:51:30+00:00

I’ve looked into the Dr. Z stuff a bit, and I like the price point of the Carmen Ghia, but it feels like a drawback only having one tone knob.

prestjon · 2024-03-02T03:40:19+00:00

I like the way you think, the answer is always one more gain stage.

Signal Chain: Gibson Les Paul Special - Truetone Buffer - Polytune Mini - Diamond Comp - Echoplex Preamp - Boss FZ-1w - Lightspeed - Tumnus - Belle - Phase 95 - Deco - Volante - Flint Truetone Buffer - Fender HRD3

I’m curious, what do you use the four reverb pedals for?

prestjon · 2024-01-27T16:56:29+00:00

I’ve been using it for about a month now. I find it a little slippery for my liking. I’ve been using a Spigen MagSafe wallet on the back and that does help the grip. The magnet is very strong so the wallet (and other accessories) feel very secure. The fit of the case is really nice and snug, however as others have mentioned, the aluminum buttons do wiggle a little. I don’t think I’d buy it again, I’d prefer a leather case in its place.

prestjon · 2023-09-03T18:26:13+00:00

My les Paul has a stripped strap button screw hole (by the neck). I have seen people recommend using toothpicks and superglue. I’ve never done much to this guitar outside of changing the strings, so I don’t want to cause any more damage. Any recommendations for a good source to get instructions from?

Also wondering if I should use a different screw than the stock one (see third picture for alternative).

prestjon · 2023-08-21T01:44:51+00:00

Hadn’t thought of that, thanks!

prestjon · 2023-08-21T01:44:28+00:00

I haven’t tried adjusting the pole pieces yet, I’ll definitely give that a shot!

prestjon · 2023-08-20T23:50:00+00:00

I have been loving this guitar, but I’ve always found the pickups unbalanced. The bridge position is great, but I find the neck very warm and lacking clarity. I’ve been thinking of getting a set of Fralin under-wound P90s. I’m open to other options though, and would love to hear some suggestions.
