1987 Peavey Falcon Custom

This is my 1987 Peavey Falcon Custom, which I bought in ..."1987".

It's a great sounding guitar especially for a "country" sound. I hook it up to my Line 6 POD 2.0 and dial in a 1965 fender twin blackface amp, and let the growling begin.

The bridge pickup is a Dimarzio HS-3. The middle pickup is a original stock pickup, which sounds like it has more output than the Dimarzio's ( more on that shortly ). The neck pickup is a Dimarzio Yngwie j. Malmsteen pickup.

Now on the output of the Dimarzio's. They're very low output. A Dimarzio catalog I have states, both pickups have 93 millivolts in output. Compare that to a Dimarzio fast track 2 single coil pickup rated at 321 millivolts in output.

The lower rated output pickups seem to have a nice "note defining", sound. In other words a very "clear sound". No muddiness. Mr. Malmsteen knows what he's talking about.

My Ibanez RG's pickups really push the same Line 6 POD patch. Higher output pickups of course. Then I find myself adjusting the POD and amp settings to get the particular sound that I want. As of lately the tones I'm chasing are of a "country,Bluesy, Vintage amp sound. The Peavey Falcon Custom is a great sounding guitar, but does not shred very well like an Ibanez RG. Nonetheless it is still a favorite of mine.

Custom Ibanez Jazz Guitar

This is my Ibanez Cutom Jazz guitar. I've just seen a new Ibanez catalog showing a new Pat Metheny jazz guitar very similar to this but with Pat Metheny features. The price is very low compared to a $2000 or $3000 Pat Metheny.

Also I've seen a new Steve Vai pedal made by Ibanez. I'm going to be in some trouble with the wife.

Steve Vai Ibanez Jem

Recently a very good friend loaned me his Steve Vai Ibanez Jem to record with in the studio. This thing played great and sounded great with my equipment.

The Dimarzio pickups are monsters. I really liked everything about this guitar, Sound, looks, playibility and so on. Maybe Santa will bring me one this Christmas.

I've have some really nice Ibanez guitars, but this would be the hottest in my collection.

Till next Post, Donald

Mortification

Talk about blowing your speakers. I've been listening to a lot of my older Christian metal tapes and I can't stop listening to these guys. Intense guitar and vocals that sound like the cookie monster. But I really like the sound.
