That’s all we need: more shimmer reverb on everything

Just picked up El Strato (from The Hives’ guitar tech)

He replaced all the white plastic with black and wired in a set of Custom Shop Texas Specials (including neck pick up to the tone pot)

Then did set up; neck adjust, floating trem, intonation etc

It looks and feels cool af now

I’ll post some before & after pics when I get back to the studio

Very tempted to do the exact same aesthetic changes to my Strat now. Yours looks great!

Definitely does

I’m very happy

Just wish it had the big headstock

And maybe vintage tuners …but that’s just me being pedantic

Uploaded a little live jam to yt

there’s some wrong notes…it’s not easy playing 2 synths and & guitar at the same time when you have to take both hands off the fretboard between runs

but anyway

New helix product, helix stomp xl

made the mistake of watching a youtube on the night sky pedal, really want one now

I hate the look of it. Far too fiddly for a “reverb” pedal. Give me a BigSky any day.

has favourites though so could just forget about it once found some good sounds. thing I find appealing about it is the drive and modulation, been using reverb in my DAW and trying to do it the proper way where it is sent to a bus that has a 100% wet reverb and i’ve found adding drive and modulation on that bus works really well, turns the reverb into more of a texture, this pedal looks like it can do that in a standard guitar chain (know modulation on a reverb is pretty standard but drive haven’t seen before)

think I want to get a decent reverb as the ones in the helix are godawful (the old legacy ones are fine but the more high end attempts fail), I remember when I had a blue sky it was impossible to make it sound bad, so tempted to get one of those again, dont really have space for a big sky. Also tempted by the chase bliss dark world or the eventide black hole
