Idk about dive bombs, but I have one of these and the pinch harmonics do sound sweet!

@@euro51116 There isn't a damned thing funny about it, hoss... Did you actually HEAR ANYTHING I said in the video, cause YOU and other people just like you are EXACTLY the problem... Look, my Squier Bullet Mustang is my go-to guitar, the one I'm playin in most of my videos, and I've customized every PART of it, but I didn't dig the "Bullet" Mustang decal myself, so I replaced it; BUT, I replaced it with a standard SQUIER Mustang decal, because SQUIER made that guitar... You're claiming that you do this scumbaggery and put fake "Fender" decals on your Squiers, AND you're claiming that you put Squier decals on your "Fenders"... Which goes to show that either you DON'T UNDERSTAND the underlying concept here; (You shouldn't put a company's decal on a guitar unless they MADE that guitar), OR you don't care... It SEEMS to me that you do GET it, but you're one of those guys with a wheelbarrow full of EXCUSES; You "wanted the swooshy look", "You'll never sell" your fake, counterfeit, "Fenders", and hey, "The market is flooded with Fender knockoffs, and Chinese counterfeits", so your "fun home projects" are okay... You're aware that you ACTUALLY said that, right, lol? YOU are the problem... People like you are out here, just doin whatever they WANT, even though it's WRONG, and then it's time for the wheel of excuses... And let me explain to you why it's"funny that people never get up in arms" about putting a Squier decal on a Fender guitar, and I'll try to make it simple enough that you can follow here; In general, Fender guitars usually cost more than Squier guitars, so, if you stick a Squier decal on a guitar made by Fender, it would make MOST untrained people think that that guitar is a Squier, and thereby worth less money than it actually is... You're STILL attempting to represent that guitar as something it's NOT, it's STILL counterfeiting because Squier DIDN'T make that guitar, and it's STILL morally WRONG, but at the VERY least, it would seem like you're not actively seeking to rip someone off... You can claim that "an easy Google search" can tell you the difference between a counterfeit guitar and a genuine Fender, BUT, WE ALL wouldn't have to try to verify EVERY SINGLE USED GUITAR that we buy, if counterfeiters like yourself weren't out there slappin fake "Fender" decals on Squiers and vice versa... You OBVIOUSLY know that what you're doin is wrong, cause you said you'd never sell your counterfeit guitars, and that if you did, you'd sand the fake "Fender" decals off... So, in my mind, there IS hope for you, hoss... You KNOW the right thing to do, so I'm gonna appeal to you, because I know that you're capable of doing the RIGHT THING... Some people REALLY don't know between wrong and right... You seem like you actually do have a moral compass, you're obviously intelligent enough to build your own guitars, and come up with excuses instead of just commenting "I do what I WANT" like a lot of these boneheads do... So, I'm beggin ya man; Don't be part of the problem... Use your intelligence for GOOD... Stop doin this crap, stand up for WHAT'S RIGHT, and join me... You're better than this, man...

@@ck2music712 To be clear, by Fender knockoffs I mean companies like Nash Guitars, Suhr, Vintage, Glarry, and every other company that uses 90% of Leo Fender's designs minus the decal and mayybe the headstock. Anyone selling a partscaster with a decal should (and usually does) label it as a partscaster and NEVER a genuine stock model, unless they are a scammer at which point they are likely doing a lot more to rip off the customer on a terrible guitar than just swapping the decal. Anyone in their right mind wanting a Fender SHOULD do their homework in 2024 on the guitar they are buying, for a variety of reasons besides just its authenticity. You are overblowing the morality aspect. It only comes into play when you sell it. Its your constitutional right do what you wish with your property, and yes that INCLUDES what you would consider "copyright infringement" on the basis you are not profiting off of it. Alot more goes into a guitar than just the decal, and plays into its quality and authenticity. Consider Ed Roman who would famously take the necks off of vintage Gibsons and create brand new bodies and electronics for them, only leaving the original decal and serial number because that was the only way prove its authenticity. THATS unethical, and alot more deceiving than changing the decal. A decal isnt the "end all be all" of a guitar.

@@strato-dave seriously? People STILL don't get this simple concept? If you bought the neck FROM Fender, and Fender made the neck, then there's NO ISSUE with it having a Fender decal on it... It came like that... However, if you buy a GENERIC neck that was NOT made by Fender, and stick a FAKE "Fender" decal on it, THAT'S not right... These scummy people that do this crap will buy a Squier, sand the decal off, replace it with a FAKE "Fender" decal and then TELL everyone, "Well, it's a Fender neck..."

@@dimebagdave77 thanks so much, man! Seriously, I REALLY appreciate that!

@@misterb5926 "Do I hear WHAT?!?" "Shut up and LISTEN, man!"

@@seabeeeff Are you actually SERIOUS? Because I'm DEAD serious, lol... Whether we want to think about it or not, eventually the day will come for ALL of us that we WILL die, and ya can't take it with ya. So, yeah, eventually one day all of your possessions WILL become someone else's, and when that that day DOES COME, because it 100% WILL, that means that if you were to commit this scumbaggery and put FAKE, counterfeit "Fender" decals on your non-Fender instruments, SOMEONE will be forced to deal with that... And chances are fairly good that it WILL be someone that isn't as knowledgeable about your possessions are you were, and at that point, that FAKE counterfeit "Fender" guitar will HAVE to go SOMEWHERE... You can't say that a WORD of this is untrue, man, and if you're honest with yourself, you'll know that... Just as well as I know it, and literally ANYONE else who IS being honest with themselves...

The BO has been known to be low output by several forums.. The Burst is a Rock Box with Humbuckers.

I'm right there with ya on THAT one too! I wonder if BOSS will ever get on board with top mounted jacks, or if their original designs are too "iconic" for them to change... Pedals have came a long way, and things are ALWAYS changing, so I guess only time can tell what changes are here to stay and what's just a fad... When BOSS designed those pedals, most guitarists didn't have full pedalboards, times have definitely changed...

@@ck2music712Never thought of that Chris. Back in the late 70s and 80s there probably wasn't too many pedalboards. Good point 👍

Thanks, hoss! Yeah, I gotta tell ya, I'm a big fan of these Demon Fx pedals, I haven't gotten a bad one yet... The ONLY thing I DON'T dig is the NAME (I play for the OTHER team, lol) and back when they first came out, I think some of their pedals looked a lil TOO much like what they were cloning- I say making a clone circuit at a budget price is FINE, but DON'T just completely copy the design to the point of counterfeiting, lol...

Thanks for checkin in! I'm really diggin the Budget Guitar group- These are my people, man! And yeah, if I'm honest, this one probably has a lil TOO much gain for me personally, but it does sound pretty good!

@@bfidel Man, if you're serious, thank you... Obviously this video has been a MAGNET for nasty and "Dude, shut up, it doesn't matter!" comments, but if ONE person watches this video, gives it an HONEST shot and actually CONSIDERS what it's saying, and decides to NOT do this, then it proves that I was actually able to help stop this stuff, and make SOME kind of difference... And THAT'S worth all the hate that I catch... Thanks, hoss...

@@DigitalDZ7 Well, I don't know what ya mean by "grandstanding", lol, but you're right; "Ranting" about people who do this SCUMMY, immoral crap doesn't make you a "moral guitarist"... HAVING MORALS, sticking to them, calling out IMMORAL behavior, and NOT putting FAKE, counterfeit "Fender" decals on non-Fender guitars is what makes me a moral guitarist, lol... I didn't make this video to "put me on the moral high ground of guitarists", I made this video because I DO have morals, I DO know the difference in right and wrong, and I'm sick of this SCUMMY, dishonest, immoral behavior, so I felt convicted to do ANYTHING I possibly could to STOP IT... It's OBVIOUSLY clear that a LOT of these people that do this dishonest crap HONESTLY don't know that they're doin anything wrong (or they claim that, anyway). However, ANYBODY that sees this video, and stops to honestly even CONSIDER what I'm saying for a second, can NO LONGER claim "ignorance"... Also, if you want OTHER people to STAND UP and do the right thing, YOU have to be willing to stand up YOURSELF... THAT'S what this video is about, not "grandstanding" or "putting myself on the moral high ground of guitarists", and you can trust me, because I MADE the video, and I'm well aware WHY I made it, lol... And again, you ARE right that building a partscaster DOESN'T make you an immoral guitarist; But... Putting a FAKE, counterfeit "Fender" decal on the headstock of that guitar that WASN'T MADE by Fender, does, lol... See how that works, right? It's VERY telling that some people just CAN'T understand the VERY SIMPLE concept of; Be honest... DON'T put a decal of a company that DIDN'T MAKE THAT GUITAR on that guitar's headstock... THAT'S what ALL of this boils down to simply- And anybody that can't "understand" that SIMPLE idea, well, maybe it's not REALLY because they don't UNDERSTAND it, maybe they just don't want to admit that what they're doing is WRONG...

@@ck2music712 It's only wrong or immoral if they do it with the intention on selling it as a Fender guitar. Which some people do...among a thousand other ways there is to rip someone off. HOWEVER, you're not making that distinction. You're literally lumping everyone who puts a Fender decal on THEIR guitar into that category. There's a big difference. You think you're right, but your logic is flawed. It's one big logical fallacy. You're not making a moral stand.

@@strangenofx couldn't get a whole sentence out, huh? I'd say I'm more like the "decency" police, but, lol... Thanks for the comment, I guess...

Lol, yeah, that Donner "Blues Drive" got me too! The BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver is one of my FAVORITE circuits because it DOESN'T have that nasally mid boost like a TS, but there's a LOT of confusion; A Blues DRIVER circuit is different than a Blues BREAKER style circuit- Fortunately the ACTUAL BOSS BD-2 is only about $50 these days, but the TC Cinders is a BD, and so is Moore's Blues Crab... And ya know, Keeley's Super Phat Boost is a modded BD circuit, and the BEST S.P.M. clone that I've came across is the Bacchus Dynamic Driver by Gamma... It's DEAD on, lol...

Oh, and thank you! One last thing; As far as the Wampler $99 "Budget" pedals; The Triumph is my absolute favorite Overdrive OF ALL TIME, lol- It can literally sound like ANYTHING you want from a Tube Screamer to a Nobels to WHATEVER- However, I have to admit that I actually wasn't that impressed with the Phenom Distortion... Of course I got one, but it's not very dynamic, the gain doesn't have a very broad sweep, and the EQ is nowhere NEAR as powerful as the one on the Triumph... For actual Distortion I always recommend A; A CRANKED Blues Driver, or B; Some kind of DS-1 style circuit WITH AN EQ- Like the DigiTech HotHead, or the MXR Super BadAss Distortion- The ONLY thing that I'VE liked as much is that new Okko Diablo Clone which is currently in my top spot, lol...

@@bcherbs Thank you! I appreciate that!
