Bump this to keep it near the top.

Hi Bob, Sent you an email regarding a set of your workbench legs. I didn't mention it in my email to you, but I'll mostly be using these on a couple of Emmons push-pull guitars, as well as a Sho-Bud, a Carter, and a GFI. As far as I can tell, these legs should work on most any brand or model PSG, co...

Hi Ken, I sent you a PM.

Hi David,
I’ll take the Hilton Emmons style bracket for $25. Let me know how to pay you.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Hi Damir,
I'll take the pedal for $100 shipped. Let me know how to pay you. I do have PayPal.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Yaaay! Problem SOLVED!!! Thanks to everyone for your great ideas to help!!! I had previously talked to Jon Light about this a month or two ago, but at the time I didn't have enough time to look closely. Jon's ideas were very similar to to the suggestions from Bob Hoffner, David Ball, Bill Sinclair, ...

I have an MSA Classic D10, that I was using as a practice guitar that unexpectedly started sounding extremely thin/shrill/tinny. I believe the single coil pickups are the originals, and nothing has been changed since I've had it (2 or 3 years?). I have played it occasionally before now and it sounde...

Hi Doug, I notified my friend about the price change, I’ll let you know if he’s interested.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Bill, I didn’t think to ask, which could change my offer, is it a low profile?

Bill, I’ll take the Hilton. Let me know how to pay.
Thanks,
Chuck

I'll take it Leon. Please send me a PM or email with details on payment, and I'll give you my address to ship to.

I did have a couple of questions about the pedal:
1) Roughly how old is this one?
2) Does this also have the bracket to hang onto the pedal bar?

Thanks,
-Chuck

I have a Hilton pedal (low profile with detachable 24vdc power supply) l that is intermittently acting very weird. The volume seemed to go extremely loud, and moving the pedal through it's range doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried turning down the volume on my amp, and that didn't seem to help...

By the way, the Perfect Touch folks do have a thumb pick, which I did try, but I did not care for that. I use a Golden Gate thumb pick along with the Perfect Touch finger picks on my 1st and 2nd fingers.

-Chuck

I hated the usual finger picks used by many, like you I could not get used to them, and felt like my fingertips were in a vise! I tried a set of Perfect Touch finger picks, and LOVED them!!! I've had them for 7 or 8 years (I think), and love them. When I got mine Rusty allowed you to try them and if...

Thanks everyone for the information, all very interesting. I'm now thinking it is not "tone suck", but I seem to be encountering what Lane mentioned about flanger pedals generally "tanking" sustain. Thanks Lane! I may just need to figure a different method/effect to get the sound...

Could someone please explain what is meant by the term "tone suck" as it relates to effects pedals? I recently began using a Line 6 MM4 pedal for one particular song. I'm using a preset "Jet Flanger" and it seems like the sustain is noticeably short. Is that what is meant by Tone...

LOL, I forgot all about this!! But, tonight I sent the money via paypal. Sorry about that. The moeny should be waiting for you. I also sent you my email id as you requested.

Thanks,
-Chuck

Hi Ray, I'll take it. Let me know how to pay, I can do paypal if you want. Let me know.

-Chuck

Hi George, Just sent you $15 for one of your guards to be sent to a friend of mine. I sent you a PM with the details. I have one and love it, thought I'd get my pal one as well. Let me know if you need additional info.

Thanks,
Chuck

Jon, maybe this could be a "sticky" item to be around near the top for a long time. When I was first into this, the info from the Carter website was invaluable to me. I know some of that info has surfaced in different places, but I sure do miss that site and what it had to offer in the way...

While we're talking about this stuff, I also picked up a used Electro-Harmonics Holy Grail Nano, which I actually like better than the TCE Hall of Fame. Very simple 1 toggle switch and 1 knob, and sounds great. The HOF pedal also sounds good, but a little more involved in dialing it in.

-Chuck

Lenny, thanks for those ideas. Unfortunately, I tried all those. I first thought the problem was with my volume pedal, so I removed the pedal from the chain and the problem remained. Then I removed the reverb pedal from the chain and the problem went away. So, then I thought maybe the cables might b...

I have a Boss RV5 reverb pedal that has an odd problem that may be hard for me to describe. It had been working ok, but seems to have developed a problem that sounds sorta like a slight clipping, or garbled sound just at the attack, when I would hit a string. It was only at the attack, and then it s...

I will soon be flying to Florida to my parents, and would like to take my finger picks, bar, and tuner with me, so that I can do some playing down there using a friends guitar rig. Anyone know if there might be any problem with TSA security in the way of them not allowing the picks or bar?? I suspec...

I'm using a MB-200, with a EH Holy Grail Nano reverb,and a speaker cab with a Black Widow 1502-4 speaker. Very happy with it so far. I recently replaced a Boss RV5 reverb unit which had a problem with the Holy Grail Nano, and it made a big difference. Before this configuration I was using one of eit...
