I’m using the UA Dream 65 and the UA OX stomp with great results. Joe has done the most research on the subject so if he likes the Tonex I’m sure you can’t go wrong.
Nice to have some options ...

It has some MSA parts, key head, fretboard, the pedals look like MSA but lack the crosshatching.
It could be good or not so good, but it’s not a true MSA.

I’ve been using a Walrus Audio M-1 pedal for rotary sounds with good results, plus you get lots of other modulation algorithms. It does the speed ramp thing well.

I have one of these, this is as good as it gets for verb. Good price!

I have one and it works just fine, no problem getting clean sounds. I use it it for all my church gigs now and at home in my studio. Somehow it feels like you are playing through a real amp.

Your guitar was set up with standard nickel strings, the NYXL strings do not pull the same as standard strings so it needs to be readjusted for the NYXLs.
Our standard gauges are .013 .015 .0115 .0 ...

Flying with a steel is a huge pain. You could move the pedals from the bottom neck until you find replacements.
There is a set screw in the hole next to the ball joint that tightens on a steel dowel ...

I drive a Subaru Ascent. I lay down the third row seats and put down a couple of moving blankets in the cargo area. I can lay my guitar down on its front side and take the rear legs off. Still plenty ...

I have one as well, not near as nice as Erv's. I think it's a 1956 because of the push button neck switch. It needs a little TLC. This is ...

Thanks guys, I found one. And yes they are fantastic!

Great to see a new product from Brad, I use his stuff every day.

Looking for one of Jay Ganz little power amps.
Also hunting for a PF-350

Does anyone have a PF 350 for sale anywhere close to me in DFW area?
They are heavy but I sure like the sound!

Hi Marty, as far as I know it’s still a mystery.

I finally hooked my sesh 400 up last night. Ran into a Jay Ganz power amp into a single 12”, sounded fantastic and plenty loud for any gig. Nice and clean with that present low end that we all liked ...

Jim, I'm glad this guitar went to someone who appreciates it. I wish it was still with me but it just stayed in case all the time.
It is a looker!

I played a demo unit at the TSGA Jamboree and ordered one the next morning. It really captures the character of a good Session 400 and fits on a pedalboard. Nicely done T.C.!

The Carter rods did have rolled threads. As Bobby said, they are not as crisp looking and vary a bit in diameter. I would go with 4/40 as I think it would get you closer to the factory rods. You can a ...

I couldn’t help but notice the Umberto Eco book on the shelf. That is some ambitious reading there!
Nice guitar too.

What a beautiful guitar, I can’t wait to see and hear it. I like Ross and respect his design sense. I never met your Dad but I know he is proud. Let’s jam!

Boo and Gene are a perfect match!

Roger I put the string 3 lower as well as 6 and 9 on one of my guitars and it’s going on another as soon as I can get to it. I love the tonality of it.
It did not time as well as I like but I may ...

Sorry I missed you.

Just read about the news today. I met Stu in ‘74 or ‘75 when the band he was with moved to Dallas. Stu had a great spirit and it was always a treat to visit with him.
My very sincere condolences ...

I agree, these are great little amps. Plenty of power for anything I need. Great product!
