Switching necks on my squier and mjt

Shipping in the US. No case. Plays amazing. Dm any q’s

Picked up the MXR Textures today. Loved the Layers and needed a reverse in my fx loop, so here we are. Still saving space for Big Time 🪦

Booking trips, just daycare and the occasional coffee pickups. The kid loves it. That’s the biggest thing.

One dirty loop and one spacey loop in the TMP. Order switching those is pretty fun

The kindest of buddies has lent me this new pedal and WOW. There are sooo many good sounds in it. I remember the original timeline being good but it was dated for sure.

Bad Cosmonaut made some custom knobs for me and I’m beyond stoked. They did some mock ups and prototypes to get the colors just right, and the final product made it to me in less than five days from the initial request. Such a kind and thoughtful presence in the world of pedals.

Both guitars are running mammoth slinky strings and are tuned relatively low. The baguley is in drop A and the robot graves is in B standard. Both necks are incredibly thin and the action is as low as I could get without buzzing. Avedissian custom pickups on the rgi and a Hapas Nightmaer in the baguley. No volume pots, just coil splits buttons and tone knobs.

Running each amp into its own speaker in the cab. They blend quite nicely. The modeler is mostly for in ear, silent playing but it can route signal chains to one or both amps if needed.

The clean channels work just as well together as the high gain channels. The reverb from the orange compliments the cleans so well. The 5153 is completely mid scooped so it it’s incredible percussively. I have the high gain orange set very mid-forward and it just fits perfectly.

This kinda does it all. Clock control is outstanding. Having repeats is a leg up on tensor. Simultaneous up and down octaves are super clear. The looper is easier to approach than ct5. Long delays like dobbo. If nothing else it’s actually a great boost with unity at like 2 o’clock on the volume knob. Possible improvements: exp control, stereo/drywet split, tone control?

Sold obstructures this morning. Afforded me a nice amp, so no complaints.

Found an MJT body on Reverb and started piecing this together over the last few weeks. Sonic blue and mint felt like a classy combo. No volume pot, just a universal coil split button and a dual load pot (half tone & half third pickup blend). The pickups are Avedissian with a hidden mini pickup in the neck position under just the two lowest strings. I had the option to route that to a second output but decided to blend it in via the pot to warm up the split coil voicings as needed. Black Mastery kit and a 25.5” Robot Graves Industries neck with locking tuners. Mammoth slinkys in drop A. Such a comfy instrument.

Fun weekend

Mammoth slinkys sit in drop A pretty comfortably, strong don’t feel like spaghetti, gonna have to tune it a few times to stabilize

Shout out to the homie for this trade. Finally got my hands on an Eighth from Audio Cultivation Project. I’m sure someone somewhere has a concise rundown of what this pedal does but it’s a monster. Trashy crunch, warm cleans, crushing distortion. Not sure it’s mentioned anywhere but a triple tap of the footswitch changes the bypass modes, from independent, either/or, or both at the same time.
