I recorded this about 12 years ago. I did all instruments but acoustics EngineeringMixing-OmarRock-Soft_Rock_Ballad_Mix.mp3

This might be the crux of Behringers defence. If Klon haven't been selling them and making profit, Behringer might say how can Klon claim damages when they haven't been losing money...and the Behringer circuit is in all likelihood an emulation rather than a copy knowing that timbre can't really be copyrighted or trademarked. In the PRS vs Gibson battle, Gibson's case hinged on there being the potential for confusion between the PRS single cut and Gibson LPs which didn't really stand up to the scrutiny that was eventually applied. Klon's lawyers may come back and say 'copyright or trademark infringement' based on the potential for confusion (depending on what is actually registered as a trademark) Or get a Digitech Bad Monkey :lol: Yeah I went there.

I figured it out. Sire T7. Nice.

So... My Thomann box arrived a couple of weeks ago. Got around to opening it today. And looky what we have here...

Been modding my Strat recently, thought I’d share in case helpful… First off - as I’ve not got the best technique, and don’t play that often, I was sometimes hitting the selector switch and volume knob, which is a nightmare for recording. So I took out one of the tone controls, and now have one volume and one tone and a nice gap where the original placed volume knob was, and the ‘F’ from a Lindy Fralin sticker to cover the hole. The switch was easier, just gave it a bend to stop me knocking it Next up - put in a ‘Gilmour Switch’, the best thing for me being you can have the neck and bridge pups on together, almost like a Tele. You can also have all 3 pups on together. Very simple mod if you can solder. That with a new bridge pup (Dimarzio FS-1) and I think my ‘61 AVRI2 is doing good

And it's done. Had to do a lot of routing to get the bridge located properly including plugging and redrilling one bridge post 1mm further way. The wiring was a challenge, I spent three days of eliminating possible causes to arrive at only one conclusion, the pickup selector switch was faulty. My midboost preamp didn't work and I wasn't going to spend a week trying to troubleshoot it, so I bought one only to discover that the guy who build it didn't include separate earth and -9v wires. So had to jury rig something up to provide the output socket with an earth connection, the boost is definitely warm but it lacks the glassiness I expected. So I have on order a genuine Demester Fat Boost (Tyler style) and at some point I will probably wire the switches so they are series, phase and parallel. Although they were fiddly to solder as well. However, after a fret levelling and proper set up, it plays very nicely and has more sustain than my other two strats. I have no idea why. It's quite a warm and loud sounding guitar as well acoustically. More aging is needed on the sides and back but I have other things to attend to in advance of being in the UK next month.
