  1. Won't be making it this year.

    its a crazy walk from the parking to the camping area. and the stage is setup at the bottom of a huge hill, which can make getting back up to the camping area at the end of the night.... interesting.

    the new venue was good. I missed the old one though.

  2. The third link down on that is for ebay listings of the turntable.

    or sorry, for other models similar I guess.

    I would take it into a record store and ask them. I know legends in ottawa sells older tables and he could probably help you.

  3. What makes byoc's better?

    Some people prefer the PCBs' date=' some people think the parts are superior (though I've read they're not tested/matched as per $$$high end builders$$$), and some people like the mods available.

    General Guitar Gadgets has some great kit offerings, but BYOC has a few things that set it apart...or so I understand.

    It's only as good as the guy working the soldering iron after all. [/quote']

    as far as I can tell the only thing that sets them apart, is that some of there kits are heavily moded and they cost alot more.

  4. its alot of things, the boardsa are laid out nicer than GGG, plated thru holes, nicer parts, nicer jacks. better custy service, better support on non-working builds etc etc etc.

    but it all does boil down to the guy whos assembling it all.

    ive been getting almost alll my boards lately from my buddy Barry at guitarpcb.com he has got a TON of boards to choose from but they arent as friendly as the byoc boards, thats for sure, they are for the intermediate or higher builder id say, just because the layouts are tight, and there is some real tight spacing on them. however they work flawlessly,and the price is right, and barry is a great guy to deal with, every weekend he has some crazy sale going on like spend 15 bucks and get a free board or something

    I'm not trying to start a fight, but the GGG boards I have built are plated through, The parts as far as I can tell are the exact same parts and jacks. Not only that but they are about 35$ cheaper for whole kits. thats the main reason I buy them. never need customer service so I can't comment on that.

    I might try a byoc build. or look into the guy you just told me about!

    Currently I am building a Fuzz Factor Clone and am doing the pcb myself at home. should be fun.
