Byoc Tri Boost

The BYOC Tri-Boost is a super versatile boost/preamp. It features 3 popular boost circuits, all in one pedal: ZVex SHO, Ehx LPB1 & Rangemaster. The Germanium transistor in my example is a Mullard OC44, which is the cream of the crop, as far as Rangemasters go. There's also a 3 way toggle for the Rangemaster portion, which selects a Full, Treble or Mid boost. Unfortunately, it's no longer in production. Overall I highly recommend it!

Epiphone FT-350SCE Acoustic guitar

I own an Epiphone FT-350SCE, which I really like. It wasn't all that great at first but after a bit of work, i.e. - getting rid of those junky RoboTuners, replacing them with some 'Kluson style' Grover tuners, replacing the plastic nut with a Tusq nut, swapping a bone bridge and end pins in, It's now a fine sounding guitar and is why I only gave it 4 stars, instead of 5. It also needed a good setup and some adjustment and other tweaks, but now it plays and sounds as good as it looks. Overall, I recommend it.. With a bit of work, it can be an excellent guitar.

Sears Silvertone 1472

The Danelectro built 1472 was part of the new, sleek look of the early 60s, part of a quartet of 'combo' amps that were portable, with clean lines and prominent front-mounted controls. On this model, a hefty 'refrigerator' styled handle was also part of the package and Tremolo was included on this amp, controlled by a footswitch. Somewhat infamously, the first versions of this amp had the misspelled 'TREMLO' silkscreened on the front control panel.
