U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Yes it is

My life is so hectic that I haven't had the time to plug it to the amp yet. Nevertheless, I tuned it last night and played a few minutes unplugged and god, the thing sure has sustain and resonance! Craving to give it a proper plugged try later today.

You'll love it

Are you planning on posting a demo?

It sounds amazing, deep yet not bassy or muddy like many cheap humbuckers. The bridge pickup has some amazing bright tones! Love it ♥

Only downside so far is that it goes out of tune toooooo easily. I am used to my Strat which can go out the window and be stepped over a thousand horses and still retains the pitch perfectly And the Ibanez isn't half bad either. The Wildkat, specially the G and A strings, go out of tune by just looking at them! It's specially when doing bends and using the tremolo, and I have the strat for those, so... No big hassle.

I will post a demo throughout the weekend. This guitar just screams for some Achtung Baby tunes (Wild Horses has had the honour to be the first song I've played on it).

Buy some lock tunes! There shouldn't be any electric guitar without it!

I feel totally like this.

I ordered an EHX Small Clone and it came today. When I plug in the output jack and turn it on, it creates tons of noise. What could be causing it? I'm running it by itself, and I've tried both a power supply and a battery.

What sort of noise?

It was sort of a white-noise type of sound but it fluctuated a lot. I opened up the pedal and there was rust all over the interior. I used vinegar to clean it out and it's a lot better.
