Hello,

I've heard the term peavey "honk", a few times. What sound or characteristic is this referring too?

Thanks.....Pat.

The honk is a pronounced mid range response… and eithe ...

Might look at where the MV is in the circuit, too. Circuits with pre-phase inverter master volume controls are not going to yield the same tone with the MV turned down as they will with the control tu ...

I agree, a newer faster op amp isn’t necessarily desirable if the circuit was designed around a specific original chip that was available at the time of manufacture. I’ve encountered this with Tub ...

I have a Peavey Solo Series Bandit 65 and have heard tell of replacing the RC4558P op amps with newer, higher tech chips that replaced the RC4558P. It’s a good amp but seems unbalanced when it’s l ...

It's getting there. Girlfriend is pleased (it is shiny and clean). I told her I would use the Maguire's I bought for the celluloid to wash and wax her Chevy. Probably buffed 50 years of nicotine stain ...

Is there a modern drop in replacement for string through body ferrules on a 40s/50s Carvin lap steel? Mine measure 9mm at the flange and 6mm from the outside edge of the cylinder beneath.

I'm convinced that's a circa 1950 Kiesel or Carvin based on pictures from the Carvin museum website. They don't have a picture of your exact g ...

Reading a bit about Carvin (the only experience I have with Carvin is with their electric guitars and amplifiers... they made fantastic guitars in the 70s and 80s).

Picked this up for a whole 20 clams today, well loved and a little rough. Two different sets of tuners. Dirty as sin. A few gashes in the celluloid. The name badge must have fallen off, but looks like ...

I was considering dobro tuning. I flat pick for bluegrass with a different set of guys, and I'm looking to add the steel guitar in with the rock band that does a lot of dirt rock stuff and old country ...

Congrats on the string-through...the lower output might just be magnets that have gotten weak and need re-magnetizing...my Oahu Diana string-through is pretty strong...

You know, the reason I narrowed my search down to a couple of makes of steel guitar was because I saw Lindley playing a Supro on TV. It seemed like after watching a million videos, the string-through ...
