Vox's garage

Another summer goodness- Vox's fresh Tone Garage pedals. Yes, those are tubes integrated into the pedal's circuitry. The manufacturer made a unique turn for convenience this time round; the pedals can accept standard 9V PSUs. Yummy.

Dean Bathory

This used to be Zoltan Bathory's (Five Finger Death Punch) signature BC Rich model...

This summer, Mr. Bathory opens his accounts with Dean guitars.

I've no idea if there's a mass migration, away from BC Rich but the manufacturer had been off the radar since the start of 2013.

Cover up

I recently removed my Gibson SGJ pickups which are covered versions (left) of ordinary Gibson units. I'm not bent on reproducing the exact livery of this guitar but I find this cover feature rather easy to replicate. I'm well aware that the Gibson cover method involved a sealing procedure back at the factory which I'm not keen to follow. So I simply used a removable plastic cover (right) instead.
