recording now before i move
i've read that the polytune has some major tone suck happening.
your input?
Hey poster,
Do mind "posting" the details? Not sure what some of the pedals are,.....
Thanks.

Which one?
Specifically the two to the left of the tube screamers and the one above the tube screamer. Also, what kind of A/B switch is that?
They are black?
I was gonna mention the painted black tubescreamers the other day when I popped in this thread, but I got sidetracked. I like the green outline on the one on the right. LOOKS TIGHT! Is that the tone bone tight sqeeze? How do you like it? And how much do those things run?

its all custom aside from the tuner and the tc electronics delay
/ switcher is a hand made, buffered, relay powered, fully adjustable jack deville silent switch utilizing beast of a box housed in a morley aby enclosure. one button jumps from either side of my deluxe, 1 purple, 1 white led, no switching click/pop or audible sound even at max gain :0)
thing above my tube screamers is the bone picker customs squeeze #1 tweaked by a local tone guru, (I own #1 ) they are both modded the same way only for durability, and compatibility with my buffers.
the chrome snake box is a sweet vibe thats had some parts added onto it over the years. sounds exactly like an original uni vibe. Owned a handful of vibes, and bob sweet provided the end to my search. RIP Bob
notice anything weird about my tube screamers?
How much was the bone picker and was it the "tight squeeze" that I saw on his website? You're a big fan of the tone out of those right? Would you recommend it over an original Ross??
I noticed the tube screamers have, what I assume is a three way toggle switch? For different clipping structures perhaps? My signa drive has a toggle switch that does just that, and I'm in love with the versatility....
Obviously you want to tell us about all that stuff, and we are all interested...so spit it out!
Also can you tell me more about the Trem pedal? It modulates your fender's inboard trem? I want something like that...how do I get one.
Thanks dude.
Admittedly, that is the coolest looking pedal board I've ever seen. It's a work of art.

Nope, mine is :P ;D
This and Trey's rig are the most interesting of any. At least I can ask you directly questions about yours and get direct answers. Thanks for all this information. I freaking love it. What I think most of us should appreciate is that you have done so much of the trial and error in hopes that we can skip most of that and go straight to the holy grails. Anyway, that's why I'm not afraid to try out your gear and methods. You've blazed that trail already.
Poster,
Funny how you have a dark goth like pedal board going on, but then rainbow bright up your recent posts'. I guess its good to have a little contrast! Yeehaww...

What do you have to do to make the pedal compatible with buffers?

Can these Sweet Vibes still be purchased or is there no survivors carrying on the business?
QuoteThe wah pedal houses the first buffer at the start of the chain, I can adjust it by opening up the bottom with a little mini pot on this little aluminum square enclosure.
Sounds sweet. Where did you get the buffer and was it a straight install or a crazy custom install by one of your mad gurus?
QuoteAnybody wonder why exactly I have george L cables on everything except the wah, ts9's, and vibe output? There is a reason.
Please share about the George L use/ non-use.
Quoteas for the black tube screamers, yup thats a toggle on each one. they are running at 24v each. the output is insane. they both have the kenny wayne Shepard durability type mods, matching chips, but a variety of tasty gain options. basically the first one is my high output / low gain pedal, the second one is high output / high gain BUT this is the brilliant part. When leaving the first one on and hitting the second, it will not engage at the same volume as if it were turned on by itself. Works that way backwards and forwards. Pretty neat actually. Now I can go from a bright brutally loud clean channel, to 1 tube screamer on for rhythm, or lead without losing control of my volume. So what your seeing on that pedal board is multiple multiple gain stages. Before I could hardly use the two together, too loud! I think this is all I ever wanted. Had to have 4 different people to work on um, but hey, I think it does exactly what I want it to.
First, confirm that you recommend higher voltage for OD pedals. Would even going from 9 volt to 12 volt improve my Silver pedal? (It's made to handle the higher).
Next, I'm trying to wrap my head around the dependent functions of your 2 screamers. Are they linked by some smart cable or do they just have some kind of voltage limits on the inputs, outputs that can sense the state of it's neighbor? Anyway at first I'm thinking, it doesn't matter how loud they are because your compressor will level it all out, but apparently there is more too it. I'm sure it's complicated, but very intriguing however.
Thanks for answering any of these questions. Keep the nuggets coming. ;)

Those things can power a ton of stuff. The screamers use dedicated warts though. And I also dont have any of that gear anymore, right down to the guitar. I have an entirely new rig ;0)
Also, found the right buffer for me, and just two now, both in the same box, on independent outputs, for multiple amps. Using different ones caused to many fucking problems. Insane bad noises.
Hmm an updated photo would definitely be sweet then!
So here's what I'm wondering... Do Poster and Happy Orange play very similar AO guitars? Or do they share? Spill it guys! I want the full story, no detail spared.

Hey somebody finally noticed that this AO Guitar has a new guardian :D I was wondering when someone was going to say something.
The guy formerly known as Poster (go figure out his new handle) and I, Happyorange, are completely 2 different humans, I can assure you. So which one is the Ying and the Yang? :P
But seriously, I do now have in my possession the most holy relic know as the AO Guitar. In short I'm super great full for the opportunity to have this transpire and I'm on cloud nine. In time videos and audio will be posted for your listening and viewing pleasure.

Yeah I gave Eric my AO Guitar. I think he will take great care of my baby Coco. It will make a noble air-loom for his young-ins.
Unrelated but related; I started up a guitar company, and with all the bonus guitars floating around, I could not justify keeping her around. I was also advised, that it would not make much sense for me to be
playing it out anymore because of my company. Anyway, Ive been doing studio work all year. So with a string of commitments coming up starting this weekend at Namm, this is when Iam getting all
my gear together, and the timing was about right. Doing stuff with Drake, Lenny Kravitz in Miami, Drakes dad here in Memphis, MLGW 's EP is about to drop, working on booking from 3 dates starting in
Charleston-> up to Burlington for ski season, finishing mastering this shit we did a few months ago, blah blah music music, smoke some weed.
I guess ski season starts early up here? Are you talking about this Drake?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(entertainer)
Wow, that's very cool! If I can I ask happy and poster a couple questions about AO guitars, I would love to hear each of your opinions on them:
1) How do you like his guitar necks?
2) Zero fret : Yay or Nay - I ask because I have ordered a guitar from him, although he's still looking for a nice piece of Coco wood for me. And I'm a little torn on whether to have him use it or not. I sometimes really like the open string sound and how it reacts with fretted notes at the same time and wonder if the zero fret will get in the way of some things I do.
3) Buzz Feiten tuning system - Do you have to tune the guitar that certain way the website says, or will any method of tuning really work?
4) What pickups do ya got in that baby? And how do you like them?
I hope Poster chimes in and gives his feedback because he specified the details for good reason and can shed light on why. I've barely had the guitar so I'm just acclimating myself with it.
The neck is great. It's wider than my Wolfgang so it's a change but a change I'm happy with. Very smooth and consistent the entire length. The coating on the back is just the right friction.
The zero fret is fine, I don't even notice it. I think it keeps open notes similar in behavior as the rest of the fretted notes.
I haven't tuned using the official method, just on the fly. I'll try the method eventually but on the fly seems just fine.
The pickups are Wolftone Dr. Vintage. They are very nice indeed.
Again I'm just getting my feet wet. It's like going from a Cessna to an F14 fighter jet. You know it's amazing but you have to figure out what all the buttons do and how to approach maneuvers previously not possible. Heck I spent a while just figuring out the climate, temperature, humidity control system in the guitar case today! And sometimes I just look at the guitar because it's a work of art and so many details in it.
So I'll have better answers after I put some miles on this piece.

Hey ^^
Who's walnut guitar is that I saw on your Facebook page?
I have a theory that "Ole' Whiskey Calhoone" is actually not who we think he is.
My guess is he's either Garth Brooks or Chris Gaines. It makes sense as he hasn't covered the jamband stuff yet.

Hey ^^
Who's walnut guitar is that I saw on your Facebook page?
Thats one of my graphite necked "Bolt" prototypes awaiting shipping to me. It features a thru neck, brand new bridge design (that allowes for much less tension than string thru or other tailpiece setups for these kinds of guitars. Strings last longer, stays in tune like a tank), carbon fiber from one end to the other, stainless frets, ebony fretboard (pre oiled-so you dont have to oil it everyday for a year), and some solid Vermont maple on the back. There are a handful made of sexy Graphed Walnut, working on a solid Ebony one, some Koa is floating around, I like the Walnut though... Also been collecting extremely old rare woods from Antiques. Going to be doing a couple of Mark Knopfler Showmasters out of some Mahog that originated from his home town, 240 years ago, in the form of a 14 foot, claw footed dinner table. My mom used to own an antique store and an art gallery. So Ive inherited some pieces, and otherwise have some great contacts for sourcing crazy wood. Didnt really put that together till a few months ago, not many luthiers seek the very rarest
Hmmm, really? I thought it was a new AO Guitar. Sure looks a lot like like one to me.....that's a little weird.
Anyone else see the resemblance?

I thought the same thing when the first pics were posted, mostly because of the headstock.
Poster, do you have any pics of the finished headstock?
Quote from: Poster on July 20, 2011, 02:43:42 PM
It isnt a bolt on, has no string thru, has a completely different head stock, scale, materials, body depth, components, body shape, and that is one of a couple of prototypes. The real ones have a carved top, and more angular upper horn, and lower curve the body. But thanks for trying to douche me up! You could have allowed me to share my own pictures of the finished product but hey, jump the gun!
You do a perfectly fine job of douching yourself up just fine dude. You don't need any help from me. All I'm saying is that design, the neck joint, the horns, the headstock (not identical...but pretty damn close) all look very similar to one AO Guitar. A simple observation, 'tis all.
Well that proto is one of a kind, it wanst really made to be sold, so the headstock was just improvised by the builder (which ended up being like a block on a triangle, it isnt like my ao's headstock at all anyway), in fact, they all vary quite a bit. The ones now have a bigger fat base and more aggressive revolver kinda thing going on. Little incremental blocks on the bottom cutaway routed out.

Really do not need any negative vibes right now and most of my friends on here can contact me in other ways whenever they need me!

Whoa whoa whoa, I don't think walker is shitting on you man. Just making an observation and asking a question. I have to admit when I saw the picture the first thing I thought was that it looked like an AO knockoff other than the holes. Kinda like a squier AO or an Andrew epiphone thing going on. It's only a prototype and I've only seen one pic though.

It doesn't really help that whenever you talk it gives me the impression that you think you a better than everyone else (which you aren't) Your opinions aren't facts from god either. How does TCE Repeater have black firmware when they're no way to plug them into a computer? How does someone who works on Klons not know they aren't true bypass? How do you not know what a whale call is after so many "whammy" threads? I think your tales may be a bit tall. Of course, everyone has their own opinion, kind of like their own butt hole (which is what I think you are.) ;)
Also, all I hear is a whaa whaa whaa going on all up in this thread.
In his (poster or whoever his is today) defense the headstock on his old AO was obviously a request by him to Andrew to make it a little more Lanquedoc like. So if he is coping anybody it's actually Lanquedoc (headstock wise) and not AO guitars. Those who know Andrew's designs know that style of headstock is more of a request and not his usual flavor. I know this as I have asked Andrew to do something similar even though his headstock designs are very classic and styled in their own right. AO guitars are absolutely distinguishable if you have seen enough of them. I do agree strongly that the horns are very similar as well as the way the neck pocket angles towards the lower horn.
Steve Jobs once said "the best ideas are stolen".
In this case, it was stolen, molested by aliens and returned with a restocking fee to-boot... It may be slightly influenced, but this is clearly not an AO guitar design.
On the other hand, showing an entire potential customer base you are a borderline sociopath always makes things interesting.
Remember its not your fault. Your the victim. It's important to play that up. It builds character.
Just a note that there is a guy over at RuKind that is trying to sell knockoff Waldo TPC1~Tiger Preamp Clone's and getting a similar blasting (ie; Neil Schulman). Seems the guy made friends with Waldo, got a hold of the buffer, the exact parts used etc.. and then tried to sell his copy to the same customer base. Apparently he also had numerous identities on the same forum allowing him to gather the information, act like various different people etc... and go unnoticed till recently.
Just in case this type of thing starts happening here, does StrangeDesign offer any kind of LifeLock identity protection? I don't want my karma score to be compromised due to this raging epidemic....
We will have to see if Andrew cares to comment about this.

First of all Iam not selling knock off languedocs, AOs, equators, or anything like that to anybody ever. Nor do I build guitars myself, beyond garage make overs. The main guitar my new startup is doing is a 24 fret Showmaster type super strat. Like I have said over and over, there are alot of prototypes floating around. We are also doing some huge 335 type Jazz guitars, Hollow dual f hole telecasters with 24 frets. All of them use the same hardware though, which is entirely different from any guitar Ive have ever played or owned. Walker went onto my Facebook page, and just plopped a picture of that walnut guitar on here. The only times I changed user names was 2 times from Posternutbag to Ole Whiskey Calhoone (which was a reference to a cd i just finished), and then back to abbreviated nutbag "Poster".
And ironically, I bought (that is i ordered with boss money) a couple Wald Buffers from Mike to go in some of these guitars. So um yeah, we arent knocking off shit. In fact, all the components are super expensive. Lucky for me, it isnt any of my money. Really, Iam getting gooned on for absolutely no good reason. Hell I thought it was cool that when asked what kinda hollowbody guitars I think would be interesting to explore, I immediately said small hollowbody. Nobody gets it.
what do ya say you post some pic of these guitars your talking about Poster? are they ready to at least see em or still need some finishing touches? the bickering is fun to read by guitars would be cooler to look at...
maybe start a new thread with some pics if you can.
I think this thread topic needs a iso buffer, a bypass switch and carbon comp resister thingamabob.

BTW, before any posts get removed/deleted for any silly reason can someone put together a best of Poster Calhoone collection in case they go missing. It would be a damn shame to have all those memories and insights be lost forever.

Sorry bud, got a bunch of prototypes. The really dope rare wood exotic stuff, with all the improvements are about a month or so away (from when the the first ones are slated to be finished- wont really know how close things are to launch until I get to go over them, and trust me, iam not easy to please). My luthier just hired a helper so things are going much faster now. Alot of the first run stuff is pretty cool, but with a couple of little wonky problems, some didnt even get all the way put together. Irregardless, of the ones that do end up in my hands (prototypes that is) I was going to happily ship them out to friends to keep and play with. Who better to tell me what needs to be fixed than some of my tone fellow tone bones. Its cool. Some of you will get something interesting in the mail this Christmas. The others, you know who you are, well you can keep on trying to figure out how to blow yourself.

I have to disagree with this. I'm not sure of the genesis of the headstock in question, but even if it was a flat out "make the headstock look more like languedoc's" request, Andrew still totally made the shape his own. I know for a fact Andrew is going to continue to use that shape on future guitars, and he wouldn't do that with a "knock off". It's a great design inspired by a great design. That's been the progression of design across all mediums since forever.
We all love Languedoc's body shape, would you call it a knock off of the starcaster?

No, he took the essence of the shape and made it his own. I think the same thing is happening with the AO headstock.
And Poster, why tuck tail and run as soon as someone ask you a question you don't like? That's pretty lame.

Patrick, I agree that Andrew made the headstock his own in the fashion you describe. Let's forget the Lanquedoc reference entirely then as in this case it is a "progression of design". Does the headstock in question bear a striking resemblance to AO's inspired design? As well as the horns? Or is it a "progression of design".
All that aside I don't think the rest of the guitar resembles and AO at all however.
It's more like the face and tits of a hot girl (headstock down) but gave her a budunkadunk or seriously thick curves on the bottom side.
I'll say no more however as I don't want a lump of coal for Christmas.

Actually nobody has tuck tail and run. This forum has no means to block users or Id probably hangout more. Been on alot recently so that I may delete all of my old posts in the Treys Rig section, my rig, and gen discussion sections as best as I could. My problem is with Walker being a dick head, having the couple of you come in this thread and call me names like "sociopath, lame, asshole, butthole, etc" didnt really inspire me to stop removing my old advice from the forum? If you think about it, now you guys are the ones with all the posts?
As for languedoc like head stocks, look at equator, he was doing a similar thing years before ao? Same with Bunker guitars, and handful of other luthiers that do languedoc inspired guitars. A whole lot of people make guitars just like that, and all have a variation on pauls headstock... Lots of people make guitars that are similar to the doc because it is that awesome, just like a stratocaster.
^ this coming from a guy who felt the need to pad his own posts by ripping off my tab and reposting them as his own. Remember getting called out on that?
This coming from a guy who padded posts to make himself a "legend" by posting YouTube clips ad nauseum. = fodder.
This coming from a guy who has too much time on his hands and needs to whine about it publicly.
Truly, truly inspiring stuff there. Dude, you are a piece. of. work.
Dick head, eh? Kettle, meet pot.

This sounds about right.
So because 2 years ago, I shared some phish tabs I randomly found online via google, which ended up having be written by you, and I also shared some cool music videos Iam an ass?
Go eat 8 grams of shrooms, lock yourself in a room, and work all this weird shit out of your system. Whether you like it or not, we are all apart of a bigger organism, writhing around is a vast ocean, a single entity. You know when somebody cuts me off in traffic, I try to assume that could be my best friend behind the wheel... Its hard to imagine Iam sure, but really, my only intent is to try send out as many positive vibes as I am able to. People that act as you are now, really should wake the fuck up to the greater complexity and beauty of our lives. Constantly try to learn? Question? Progress? At the end of the day Iam just glad to have met some of you and made friends with others...
All of my posts have been deleted or modified blank. It took hours and hours.... So enjoy your poster free design? Iam launching a new forum with some friends, so Ill repost some of the archived material in a sticky there. Peace

Great, have fun. You can all talk about how much you know about everything related to music and how you're so much better than everyone else.
Posters peace message is kinda funny being he's the biggest hot head on this board. Preaching peace and calling people dickheads in the same breath. I love the childish fight or flight approach..."the kids are teasing me and I can't win so I'm taking my ball and leaving."
Lol. Really?
Again?
I laughed out loud at a few things in this thread.
1. That wonky looking guitar is "not a 'doc copy."
2. Poster is going to give guitars away for Christmas to people he likes...
3. "The parts are expensive but who cares, it's not my money." How would your backers feel about that.
I also think it's pretty damn funny he flipped his AO not 6 months after ranting and raving how it was the end all be all of guitars. Whatever, not like I don't move a few guitars a year, but still???
So long poster, see ya soon.

I totally forgot about the AO thread, and I don't think he'd send out guitars, at least I hope he wouldn't. I'd love a line booster/buffer made into the shape of his face so I can see him smiling at me when I ragin' for the kidz
