Another shout for the Music Outlet in Swords. Got new strings and a Boss Tuner delivered with no hassle and they have always provided a great service.

A nice cold perfectly poured can of Guinness on a Friday evening is just unreal!

Fair play to him! Playing guitar is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done (even though I'm shite).
If he's into metal and he's been playing a while no harm getting him an electric.
Just one piece of friendly advice, get him something with a fixed bridge to start off (like an Epiphone). The Tansen Strat I started with had a whammy bar and I had awful problems keeping it in tune even though I never used one.

Cheers folks
Had the apartment to myself this afternoon so had another play around with my fuzz paired up with my distortion pedal and TS9.
The fuzz just made everything sound like it was wrapped in a wet towel! Using an OD was a good shout.
Ended up getting the kind of tone I wanted from setting the amp slightly crunchy with the TS9 going into it with gain, volume and tone all turned up full. Threw a wah, delay and phaser in for the craic and it sounds savage
On a completely unrelated not would anyone like to buy an MXR super badass variac fuzz?

Hi All
Can the fuzz pedal aficionados help me out here?
I got an MXR Super Badass Variac Fuzz pedal but I just can't seem to get a sound I like out of it. I was hoping to use it to get a Yob/Pallbearer kind of tone and it's just not working out for me.
Just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. Anyone have any advice? (I'm running an LTD Eclipse with SD JB and 59 pickups into a Fender Bassbreaker 007)
Cheers
