Great gear!! Nice ?
I played a white John Mayer strat as Music Connection...
And from John Mayers biggest fan since 2002...
I didn't like it, just didn't click with it...

I shall post tonight, if i can figure out this technology stuff. The Vox ac 50 head is great, you can control the exact amount of break up you want, but the real magic is couping it with a booster pedal, SET the amp to a micro bit of break up then boost it and you get amazing sounds or at least its what i do. Sadly I have fallen inlove with the Fender sound so i am trading it or selling the amp and cab.
The john meyer is really great, I was gonna get the USA standard strat but didnt like the neck or the sound that much, then this was just wow, the white color and the 60s decal. funny enough i dont listen to john meyer much, very bad to admit when i use his signature guitar.

Dam dude, what more do you need?
Tell me about the SD Pickup Booster
Useful, Effective, Nifty?
You got some serious instruments there bro
MIKA-the-better-one
So far great witht he vox.... it allows me to really drive it for nice clean slightly overdriven tone... sparkly.
It has alot of options you can add more low end, high end.... I really wouldnt play live without a booster.... I think its like the most important pedal amongst pedals.. like a tuner..... It also evens out all the levels so you dont get a nasty jump in distiortion.
I am actually trying to sell or trade that vox for a fender amp......

Good man! Lots of single coils. Humbuckers are the work of the devil.

I would have cried Sacrilege to that comment in times past, but now I find myself agreeing with you. Single coils are just so much more responsive/ dynamic and articulate sounding than humbuckers (though there are obviously exceptions with both types of pickups).

HMMMM ? NOW THATS A NICE RIG ?
HOW DOES MXR blue Box COMPARE TO A TUBESCREAMER IN TERMS OF DIRVE/BREAKUP?
I often find my tubescreamers too "thin"
Mr-M
I used to have a Blue Box. It doesn't compare at all to a TS overdrive - not nearly the same kind of effect. The Blue Box is a glitchy Octave/ Synth Fuzz with a lower octave effect. It sounds either kind of synthy or 8-bit Nintendo-like or angry and fuzzy. You use it for crazy textures or video game music...or for playing Fool in the Rain by Led Zeppelin.

yeh the blue box.. is very different...... alot of ppl dont like them.. I LOVE it.... its the oldest pedal in this setup..... over a year (a real record).... I have loved the ts808 i have had the chance to play.... very cool effect....... you can always go look at boutique ts clones?
that is or was the mudhoney... I traded it a music connection..... I kinda regret that now... but dont tell my new pedals that. The mudhoney was really in your face and mean!!! but was not true bypass howver that never bothered me..... I am considering getting one again. or a mxr fuzz?
SIngles have more attack which i love...... howver i am considering maybe modding my new tele Not in these pics.
