Product Description

Introducing the new Dirty Little Secret from Catalinbread. The Dirty Little Secret has earned itself a well-deserved reputation for replicating the sound and feel of a classic era Marshall amplifier, supplying one of the most iconic guitar sounds in music. Able to clean up with a flick of your guitar's volume control, or go from mild crunch to full kerrang with your pick attack, the Dirty Little Secret has seen the inside of arenas and bedrooms alike, providing great overdriven sounds to clean backlines, low-wattage amps, and even direct applications. When the JFETs used as the base for the Dirty Little Secret were discontinued, and as our stock of them began to dwindle we knew we had to find ones still being manufactured. However, rather than simply re-voicing around these new JFETs, we decided to push the envelope and provide an amazingly robust feature-set, from ever evolving listening and circuit skills, and pure power of intention. This isn't just 'a' Marshall in a box, it's the most versatile and dynamic Marshall-style overdrive out there!

Fender Mustang I 20-Watt 1x8-Inch Guitar Combo Amp with Gear Guardian Extended Warranty Review

This is the perfect bedroom amp, with tons of built in features. I love the built in tuner, the wide range of settings for just about any sound using Fuse software, and it's really solid build quality. Fender really hit a home run here, with features that make you do a double take at it's price.

Fuse software, which allows you to download and play thousands of different effects and sounds by hooking this amp up to your computer, is the center point of this amp. It's free to download and use, works great, and simply put's the Mustang series in a league of it's own. It's worth the purchase price all by itself.

The ability to add an optional foot switch to help switch between a few presets is also a nice feature, as well as mp3 player accompaniment and headphone inputs to make usage a really easy proposition.

As you can tell, I really like this amp. I went through all the under $100.00 amps out there, from Line 6 on out, and this is the best one, hands down. If your looking for a non gigging amp for your bedroom, this is the one for you. Stop reading this and buy it already!!

Gator Caster Kit for Standard Rack (GA-100) Review

I manage a classic rock band. I recently ordered a bunch of stuff to replace aging gear. Cables, mics, stands, snakes, etc. We have now been out on a couple of gigs with the stuff. It is all good quality and working fine. Does exactly what I expected it to do. No surprises. In the interest of time I am applying this exact same review to all of the items I bought for this purpose and am happy with. FWIW, I am also taking the time to be critical of the items I am not completely happy with.

Intelli PT1 Intellitouch Tuner Review

I'm afraid the Intellitouch has lost all its stars!

My original review was titled "DEFINITELY YES...or maybe DEFINITELY NOT (NOT--see Added in edit 2)". It appears below. It started out as a (properly!) positive review when there was no real alternative clip-on tuner, but the Intelli IMT-500 changed all that. The edits described a gradual but dramatic shift from the Intellitouch to the Intelli. It's no longer gradual.

I'm blessed with an abundance of jams where I live. I attend about 2 each week from among the 5 that interest me. Given the cost of the Intellitouch, one might expect people to keep using them rather than abandon them. However, that's not what's happening. The change has occurred so quickly that it would be impossible for someone unfamiliar with the Intellitouch to tell that it ever dominated the market. I decided to document the switchover. See Customer Images.

Also, I was wrong below when I said that the Intellitouch was easier to stuff into a pocket. I've discovered that if the Intelli is folded just right, it fits quite comfortably into a small cellphone/camera case that is even easier to deal with than the Intellitouch's case.

Bottom line: Avoid the Intellitouch. Get an Intelli.

-------------------------
DEFINITELY YES...or maybe DEFINITELY NOT (NOT--see Added in edit 2)

There's no middle ground with either model of the Intellitouch tuner. You'll either love it or hate it.

The main reason why people hate them is because there are so many situations where they do not work well. In particular, they have trouble with the bass notes of dreadnought sized guitars. The more overtones the instrument produces, the worse the Intellitouch behaves. If you've no other source of amusement, find someone trying to use an Intellitouch to tune the bass string of a Martin rosewood dreadnought.

Intellitouch users come up with ingenious workarounds for when the unit misbehaves. The most popular are
* to place the tuner in a different position on the instrument. Sometimes moving it just a little bit on the headstock will do the trick.
* to pluck the note very gently with the fingertip rather than a pick. This minimizes the effects of overtones and often cures the problem.
* to tune to an octave or harmonic.
* to not worry about the letter in the LCD display. (It will often display a B when tuning to low E.)
* to keep plugging away until the tuner registers properly. However, once the tuner has stopped registering, I find that plucking a string repeatedly--hard or soft--doesn't help. I quiet all the strings and pause to let the tuner "reset".
* to give up, that is, to tune the first 5 strings with the Intellitouch and tune the 6-th string in the relative way by adjusting the tuning peg until the note at the fifth fret of the 6-th string sounds the same as the open 5-th string.

This is enough to make you wonder why anyone would own one. There's a one word answer: CONVENIENCE!

* If you play in a group, you'll quickly appreciate how a clip-on tuner let's you tune even when others are playing.
* If you play outside of your home or apartment, you'll quickly appreciate how easy it is to carry with no wires to tangle.
* You might not realize how often you tune in low-light situations until you see how often the Intellitouch's backlight proves useful.

I used to be an Intellitouch basher because of the situations where it wouldn't work well. However, the more I found myself moving around at festivals and jams, the more I grew to appreciate the Intellitouch's convenience and backlight. Now that I've years of experience with it, I have to admit that it's my tuner of choice for outside the house. Now, you can be amused at *my* rationalizations of why its problems aren't really problems.

The other complaint some people have with the Intellitouch is its scale. It indicates whether a string is tuned by displaying up to 3 angle brackets on either side of the name of the note. When the string is tuned accurately, the Intellitouch displays 3 brackets on each side of the letter denoting the note being played. The brackets disappear from the left of the letter as the string goes sharp and from the right of the letter as the string goes flat. The complaint is that the scale is supposed not to be sensitive enough to do its job--that there's too much wiggle room within what the Intellitouch tuner calls "tuned". I don't see it, or rather I don't hear it. I don't have problems with its accuracy.

Some comments:

Any tuner with an input jack (typically used with a cable to tune electric guitars) can be turned into a clip on tuner by adding a clip-on tuner pickup such as a Signalflex SF30. That's what I do at home with my Korg and Seiko tuners in preference to my Intellitouch.

After letting Intellitouch own the clip-on tuner market for years, other companies such as Korg and Seiko have released their own clip-ons, but they haven't caught on, yet. I'm not sure why except, perhaps, that those who have an Intellitouch aren't eager to spend the money on another expensive tuner while those who don't already own a clip-on tuner are impressed by the sheer numbers of Intellitouches around.

Finally, regardless of what tuner you use, always tune up, never down. That is, if when the note is overshot so that the string becomes sharp, drop the tension and tune up once again until the target is achieved. When a string is loosened it sometimes continues to slip a bit until the tension equalized between the pin, saddle, nut, and tuning peg. This is less an issue when tightening a string.

Bottom line:

The Intellitouch is extremely convenient if you play with others or outside the home. Those who already own tuners with input jacks should consider getting a tuner pick up such as the Signalflex SF30.

--------------

Added in edit:

I'm a sucker for new gadgets. I recently got an Intelli IMT-500, which, unfortunately, Amazon does not yet stock (as of mid-September 2006). The Intelli beats the Intellitouch (unfortunate similarity of names, that) in every way but one. The Intelli is more sensitive. The Intelli's scale is easier to read. The Intelli's backlight is brighter.

The *only* problem the Intelli has is that it folds up into a cube that is awkward to fit in a pocket. I'd even be a bit nervous having it in a gig bag's pouch for fear of what might happen to the guitar's top if the bag/cube got whacked just the right (that is, wrong) way.

I now almost always use the Intelli, with the Intellitouch reserved for situations like jams or festivals where I'll find myself walking around and wanting a tuner in my pocket.

I am also noticing a gradual but dramatic shift. Those who've already invested their money are sticking with their Itellitouches for the moment, but all the new tuners I see showing up at jams are Intellis.

--------------

Added in edit 2:

The more experience I gain with the Intelli, the less I use the Intellitouch. The Intelli is *much* more responsive and its meter is *much* easier to use. I knew I was accepting compromises with the Intellitouch, but until the Intelli came along I didn' appreciate how many. The ONLY advantage the Intellitouch has is that it's easier to fit into a pocket, but the Intellitouch is large, so that works only if you'll be standing most of the time.

Were there no Intelli, I'd stand by my original Intellitouch review. But there is, so I can't. Skip the Intellitouch, get an Intelli. Now, if only Amazon would carry it. No big deal, though, since they are readily available on line and are making big inroads into music stores.

Mighty Mite Telecaster Replacement Guitar Neck - Maple Fingerboard Review

I finally gave up on trying to straighten the neck on the Jay Turser Telecaster that I had picked up cheap. I had already upgraded the pickups (Nocaster '51s), rewired & replaced the switches, and replaced the tuning machines, but I could not get rid of a buzz in the neck. I had already put more money into the project than planned, but I ponied up another $90 for the Mighty Mite Telecaster Replacement Neck w/Maple Fingerboard. Apparently I should have started with replacing the neck! From the second I tightened the final bolt and installed the last tuning machine the 'project' has been complete. Now I did have to do a final sanding with 600-grit sandpaper and then spray 5 coats of a nitro finish (I used Deft Clear Wood Finish semi-gloss that I picked up at the local Woodcraft store), but once installed, the Tele was ready to go - WOW! This neck is so smooth and perfect. I only had to lower the action about 1/8" and haven't stopped playing since. And to think of all the time I could have saved trying to fix the old neck by just buying the Mighty Mite neck to start the project rather than as the final piece!

Perris Leathers P25M-120 2.5-Inch Leather Guitar Strap with Designer Fabric Sewn On Review

Well I happened to buy a Black Paisley Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster and needed straps for them. Guess what? Perris comes through again with their line of fabric covered straps. There is just so much of a variety of fabrics to choose from that you will find a match. This line of fabric covered straps are leather with fabric sewn on top of the majority of the strap. It has the regular adjustable style found on most leather straps. Stitching is solid and neat.

The Black Paisley material matches my guitars perfectly and looks very classy.

Make sure you check if the Perris strap you are looking at is a leather backed or mesh backed if that matters with you. I have both types and find them both comparable in comfort-ability and style.

Pignose PG-10 PG-10 a/c powered amplifier Review

Out of the box, the Pignose PG-10 is approximately as mundane as other inexpensive, Pacific Rim beginner amps (e.g. Rogue, Rocktron, Marshall, whatever). As such, it would rate three stars because, as another reviewer noted, it does have a rather nasty transient "thump" on power-up (annoying but not dangerous).

But this little piggy has more hot-rodding potential than many of it's $60 peers because its power amp section (nominally 10-watts into, presumably, 4-ohms (not specified by Pignose)) generates enough current to actually drive the less-efficient but more transistor-friendly 8-ohm load of the premium motor. Note well, hot-rodding an amp voids its warranty.

In my book, it's well worth the trivial actuarial risk of going without the Pignose 1-year warranty IF (and only if) one is interested in practice-level musicality rather than class-average, high-decibel noise. I'm talking silky-smooth, top-to-bottom tonal balance, consistent output, robust bass, and shimmering highs. In short, I'm talking $300+ sound quality IF one is willing to give up the pretense of performance-level volume (not the forte of a 5" x 10-watt amp in any context (laugh)).

This tweaked piggy sounds especially nice with acoustic-electrics (e.g. Fender Sonoran SCE) because it's clean, articulate, and gratifyingly-musical.

Step #1: Carefully remove the four Phillips screws on the back of the PG-10 and gently pry off the flimsy cardboard back with a sharp putty knife.
Step #2: Note the preamp/amp section lacks a protective metal cover, which helps explain the flimsy cardboard back.
Step #3: If you have small children who could, conceivably, stick their angelic little hands inside your soon-to-be open-backed PG-10, bolt the cover back on and return the amp in favor of a PG-20 (which sounds better out-of-the-box). On second thought, best not open it in the first place (laugh).
Step #4: Unsolder the positive and negative speaker leads
Step #5: Carefully remove the four Phillips screws holding the dismal 5" stock speaker in place
Step #6: Slowly re-use the Step #5 screws in the existing holes to gently but firmly seat a 5", 8-ohm Pyle Pro PDMW5 mid-bass driver
Step #6a: If you happen to over-tighten one or more screws and strip it/them out of the MDF fiberboard speaker baffle, take the offending screw to your local hardware store and get one/some slightly fatter ones of the same length
Step #7: Re-solder the speaker leads
Step #8: Use a carpet knife (or any saw-like device short of a chainsaw) to carefully cut (horizontally) the flimsy back cover into two smaller pieces.
Step #8a: Measure 3.5" down from the top for the first cut
Step #8b: Measure 2" up from the bottom for the second cut
Step #8c: Throw away the 2.5" middle chunk
Step #9: Reuse the Step #1 screws to reattach the top and bottom portions of the back
Step #10: Throw away your Pignose warranty card and the dismal speaker (or give it to a deserving kid at Halloween)
Step #11: Give the speaker a good work-out for a few hours to fully break it in and show it who's boss
Step #12: Rock on!
