I got an interesting email from the people at Fesley. They actually asked my opinion on some new models they're coming out with. This almost never happens to me and it's something I've talked bout before. Why do more companies not simply ask the opinions of those people who their guitars are meant to please before they make the mistake of building stuff no one will buy? To their credit, Fesley did what no American company has ever done, at least not with me. Check this out...

I'll put my response and a PDF of the other model in another post.
This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
I made this quick video the other day for a friend and figured I'd post it here as well. He wants to get started in slide, so I was quickly showing him some open tuning concepts to make the transition to slide a bit easier. Kind of like learning slide without a slide.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
