Wow !!!! These are so rad !!! Thats you in the pic?

agree! and Bob & Bill, those are amazing H137's. You lucky SOB's!

I just snagged a mint Fulltone Fulldrive on Sweetwater gear sales page for $79 shipped. This replaces the 10th anniversary FD that Kuz sold me about 5 years ago, destroyed in the flood.

That’s awesome!

What I know about Jazz guitar playing could fit on the head of a needle, but I love watching those Rich Severson videos. He does great demos, and gets some great tones out of those jazz boxes!

I felt the same way. But this one is really easy to program and work with. I just don't see the point of going back to an analog setup. However, this does have an effects loop for the few pedals that this doesn't have. I have some inexpensive modulation pedals from Amazon that produce some really unique sounds. They only run about $35 each. But two of those gives me most of the functions of a good guitar synth pedal. And I can add them to any patch that I want. Fun stuff.

Yes he made a pair.

Some people just like the flexibility of having individual pedals that was my case before six months ago. I think I had probably about 10 Boss pedals or more all strung horizontally across on a peddle board . I just don’t like those all in one type of effect units they never are easy to use in my opinion.

I’ve got a feeling the Standard USA model line is going away and only Custom Cores will be USA made…

Remember when ordering a custom from Jay Wolfe, Graham asked my opinion on CNC vs hand carved / cut. All I had was a gut response based on internet chatter. We the end user /consumer of fine guitars know little about building vs manufacturing. We purchase and play. Pete's "wood therapy" displays the vast knowledge gap between the people who visit and work at 225 Parsons. RESPECT

Was that the H137 he did few years back?

Would really like to getta Pete farmer build one H150 or H157 ....perhaps someday !?

I have never used that GX-10 but having a zillion Boss FX for that price is great. I use Line 6 and Quad Cortex for FX and they are all great. I have messed with Headrush and Ampero and liked them too. Boss has to be great or they would be pushed out, given all of the great competition. Why anyone would spend $400 on a couple of Boss pedals when you can get the same pedals plus a shit ton more for the same price is beyond me. BTW, I like the music you are learning. It will be fun trying to cop those sounds. But you have the gear to pull it off!

Great picture and story! Thanks for sharing

Make sure you credit the original photographer who took that pic! He got rather pissed off when I didn't one time: I was unfamiliar with photography etiquette, and try to avoid doing that since then

Most all of my pedals which were Boss were destroyed in the September 20 24 hurricane flood waters. Including the paddleboard, which was also a boss. I’m slowly rebuilding my pedals and I’m open to suggestions to use for a board. I’m looking at earthboard that’s the one that uses the magnetic rails supposedly? And it’s battery powered or rechargeable? I don’t know a whole lot of about it, but I see their ads constantly anybody have any experience with that one? TYIA

Congratulations Monica hey listen I’m trying to assemble a new peddle board since the boss paddleboard I had with most of all of my Boss petals was destroyed in the flood water/September. I’m slowly rebuilding my pedal collection, which is not gonna be very extensive, but tha assist, I will need a peddle board of some type. Do you have one for sale?

This is a photo taken for a story by a local paper in 2013. It just so happens that Marv was working on a couple of 357s. The one on the bench is mine and the one Marv is holding is Bolero's. I know mine is the one on the bench as it was running a few weeks behind waiting on my custom fret board, "From them boys down in Tennessee". Marv sent me several in process shots of the build, but it's nice to have an action shot of the build. https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/2013/02/love_where_you_live_photos_by.html

I use my modeling stuff for FX too. . So many cool verbs, DDLs, Choruses, etc. I use the QC and LIne 6 stuff in 4CM and it makes it ultra simple to get around sound wise. Maybe it's my old ears, but I had a hard time differentiating between my pedals and their digital counterparts. I find a slight difference in how they feel when playing them, mostly the overdrive/distortion stuff, but I find a slight difference in using different pedals anyway. I am going to get the sound I hear in my head no matter what. It's a matter of how easy it is to get it.

I've seen in a couple of places that Heritage has reduced the price on Standard line models. Might be time to jump on something!

Staying on the history of Marv at Gibson and Heritage. Marv sent me this picture last night. He made this one off when Gibson was still at Parsons St. He called it his Bo Diddley guitar. There is a lot more story behind it. He told me it has the original strings on it from around 1980. I told him it's time for a string change. We had a chuckle about that.

Actually, the post was made by Taylor Lawrence, who is Marv's grandaughter.

Wow so Marvim lamb is your grandpa? Amazing !!!
