SOLD: Behringer VT911 Vintage Tube Overdrive

SOLD my Behringer VT911 Vintage  Tube Overdrive. This is a classic vacuum tube overdrive and as its name suggests, there is really a 12AX7 tube in it. 

• Condition: 9/10. No scratches or no paint chips. It is also working perfectly fine. 
• Comes with box as shown above
• Do not run on battery. Comes with its own 9V adapter. You can also use other alternative 9V power supply.

Sold at 7:10pm, 31/07/2011

It is a nice tube overdrive. However, I do not ulitise it to its fullest. So it would be better off with someone else. Plus, I'm investing on something else. 

Selling: a few stock pickups

I've got a set of pickups for sale. They are the stock pickups for 2008 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Top Plus.

I don't own any Epiphone Les Paul. So this is definitely not mine. Please contact Z @ 83998341.

• Still available: Fernandes FGZ-400 (MIJ) stock bridge pickup. Contact me for this at 84050766

SOLD: Vox V847 Wah

SOLD my Vox V847 Wah.


This V847 is the one with the AC power connector. The older ones don't have one. I bought this wah on February this year. I just wanted to know what is so great about a wah and what it does. I keep all my first-hand pedals in perfect condition so this one is no exception.

• Condition: 9/10. Cosmetically fine and it is fuctioning perfectly as well.
• Unmodded
• Comes with a vinyl carrying bag. I often mistaken it for a shoes bag. 
• Velcroed with industrial velcro

Sold at 11:18pm, 30/7/2011

Why am I selling? For the 'greater good'.

Modtone MT-RV Coliseum Reverb in SG!

Modtone MT-RV Coliseum Reverb is finally in Singapore. This is one of the reverb I've been wanting to try out. 

I think MT-RV is the first Modtone pedal with a toggle switch on it. 

It is available at SV. Please contact them for more info or check the SVGuitars website.

Mix-and-Match: My Personal Reflection

Among all the pedals I have, many of them are drive pedals. What's the use of having so many drives? Well, as least I can try to mix and match and experiment what kind of tone is produced.

As seen from above, I've tried to pair the Behringer Vintage Tube OD and Modtone Speedbox. Normally, people use the OD to boost the distortion. I use it otherwise. I tried to boost the tube OD with Speedbox and here is the result.
When played through my Fernandes, it doesn't sound good at all. Too bassy for my liking. So I used my Squier instead. I find that the above combination is a better match for a strat with SSS pickup configuration. The Tube OD sounds much bright and I like the crunchy overdrive from it.
However, there is one more problem. Too much noises are produced when I join them together. This is worsened by the hum of the single coils.

Anyone wants fresh cakes and cookies?

Apart from playing guitar, another thing I enjoy to do is to EAT. Good foods are irresistible. 


I am doing my buddy. He's a good friend of mine who has been introducing me great songs. I'm doing him a favour by helping him advertise this. Now, I am not a Malay or a Muslim but I still enjoy good food. =D 
Anyway, if anyone needs to order some cakes and/or cookies for Hari Raya Puasa.

Homecoming

I am supposed to update this 3-4 days (or even 5) ago but I just couldn't find the time. Well, anyway I've got my Squier back, safe and sound.

I may have mentioned this before but mounted on my Squier is a set of Tesla Plasma-1. They are not a high-output pickups. It is not very twangy (as some single coils does), which is a factor I like about it.

Action is set to low as you can see from the picture below. The setup is made for gauge-9. The set of strings used is an Ernie Ball coated Slinky. It is a nice set of strings which I would say is 'bend-friendly'.

Previously, I mentioned about fret buzz. It is due to the unleveled 12th fret. It was higher than the rest so it needed to be re-leveled. Mike did a great job on that.

Lastly, you can now find a Tesla Vibration Damper between the tuners and the nut on the headstock. Did I buy it? No. Tesla Vibration Damper is FREE whenever you purchase Tesla Pickups (regardless of humbuckers or single coils). If you can't find one in your box of Tesla, it is probably the old batch of Tesla.

Understanding Tradition

This is a V-pick Tradition Ultra Lite.

'This 0.75mm thick is a solution for those who find their acoustic tone muffled. It will add addition brightness to the sound. As you can see, it is as big as the Galli pick I got from SV. I used to use them for my acoustic (and the Star pick) but now, I'm switching to V-picks. It just simply sounds better on acoustic. In my opinion, picks contributes a lot to the tone for acoustics.

Selling Biyang BY09WY Noiseless Adaptor

Selling Biyang BY09WY Noiseless Adaptor. A 5-ways daisy chained adapter.

This adapter comes with a built-in daisy chains. Some specs of this adapter:

• Input: 160-240v AC 50/60hz
• Output: 9v DC 400mA regulated. centre female socket negative (-) and outside positive (+)
• Warranty still valid at SV guitars (Warranty Expiry: 07/01/2012)

SOLD @ 11:36AM, 30/07/2011

Don't worry too much about the input. As long as you are plugging it into a socket in Singapore (as long as it is not 110V ), there shouldn't be any problem. And 400mA should be sufficient enough to give you enough power for all 5 9V pedals. 

I no longer have any use for this, since I now have the Baby Mach 2. 

Selling OD-20 (Updated - Price Lowered)

Price lowered. 

It may be named as OD-20 but this is not an overdrive-only unit. It is more of an overdrive/distortion. I would say it is like the Line 6 DM4 Distortion Modeler, giving a total of 22 stompbox models including popular overdrive like from Boss OD-1 to Tubescream and different distortions like Boss' very own MT-2 and DS-1. See the DST + there? I doubt it is Daylight Saving Time (that's what you get when you google it) but a simulation of MXR 104 Distortion +. Line 6 DM4 can store custom settings. Well, OD-20 comes with 4 user memory for you to store you settings as well. It's more compact compared to DM4. Click here for more info.

• Price: $160 $130
• Condition: Mint. It is about 2 years old.
• Deal at the seller's convenience
• Don't mind trading for anything interesting, pedals(boosts, ODs, phasers), bags(for acoustic/es335 style), with top up mainly on your side.
• SMS me at 90775624 to deal

Power from a Baby!

Alright, I got a power supply for my pedals. I am not intending to have to many pedals on my rig. So I would consider getting a Pedaltrain Jr? Well, I don't know. It all depends on this: $$$$$. And I probably won't be getting anything else for a while.
Anyway, I got this Cioks Baby Mach 2. Note that it is not new. I got it second-hand.

The seller left the receipt in the box. It was bought fresh from TY Music on 11 Jul. So this Baby Mach 2 is less than 2 weeks old. TYMC provides a 6-month warranty service as well so the warranty is still valid. 

For the price I paid, it is a very good deal. I didn't have to go all the way down to City Hall and I get a near brand new Baby Mach 2. I am really glad that the seller came all the way to my place to  pass this to me. (Thank you very much for that Bro Bob!)

It comes with 5 Flex cables. 2 long ones, 2 short and one with positive tip. Looks like I will need to get another flex cables. I don't have any use for the positive tip, unless I'm getting some Dunlops or EHX pedals.

As for its size, see the above photo. It is smaller than the Digitech Grunge there. That shows how light and compact it is. Less than a kilogram. It has LED lights to indicate any overloading.

TY Music Center has a whole range of Cioks Power Supply there.

Anyone fancy a 1997 Epiphone Sheraton. (Sales withdrawn)

The sales has been withdrawn. You may still enjoy the photo.
