Old thread, I know, but hey I found it in Google after a year. So what? 2 things: 1) I also own a GP-1000 and totally on my own had the opinion the mids sounded best just above 11 o clock. The settings on the GP-1000 are VERY touchy and the preamp depends on the other gear you're using...

Thanks dude! I still haven't quite gotten around to even ordering the parts for my JE-1000 build, but I'll get there.

Wow now I'm second guessing of my guitar is original floyd...? My Korean-made Alexi Laiho hand-signed LTD Alexi-600 model number W0800044 has a Floyd. Original?

In my honest opinion, floyd trems, even ORIGINAL ones (like mine), are very cheaply made compared to what they cost. I already have a stripped screw in mine! I'd guess the rust resistance has something to do with the color coating. They're probably all made from the same metal. On the...

It will probably be 2 to 4 months before I make my JE-1000 copies since I have a lot of other stuff going on in my life right now. I'm absolutely going to do it, though, and I'll let you guys know about the results. If anybody wants an email when this happens, I can do that too - sometimes...

I saw the JE-1000 copy on ebay, and I wouldn't dream of paying $50 for that. The guy is a jerk, and the product isn't particularly astounding. Dead end. I can build it better for a lower price, and infinitely more satisfaction. I did manage to haggle some decent deals on the GP-1000 and pup...

Rune, I bought an J-50 BC from ebay here (click) for $80 (just one pup). Should work fine. The output is rated at 9.1k Ohms DC resistance. I also heard there's no tonal difference with f-spaced, and no visual difference with the pup covered, which is my personal preference. Either way...

Fastbodom I'd love your destroyed JE-1000 if you'd sell it to me. I'll pay for the shipping too. I could do a better job of copying it if I have something to work from - not to mention I'd have every intention of fixing it as well!

Yup, 50k volume pot for JE-1000. And the gain trim pot is a 10k (have to open your guitar to adjust, with the DIP switch). I haven't found an MM-04 schematic but I'd love to hear about it if someone takes one apart and tests the values with a multimeter. It's probably too expensive to risk...

Faith, the best I can do has been PM'd to you. If that's not your answer... I don't know. Encouraging others to post on that as well. On another note, #1738 (click) seems ass backwards to me. You actually have less resistance, not more. The volume pot is essentially adding a resistor, which...

I thought he just changed parts on the GP-1000, not the JE-1000? Read #1990 (click), and then read #2025 (click). Regarding the JE-1000, read #2004 (click) as well. Not really a mod, but it's about all you can do as far as I know? I read every post on this thread =]

1: No problem. I will just wire up a true bypass with a 3PDT stomp switch. It's a cakewalk. Just one thing though. What would be the point in simply disengaging the gain - cleans? Alexi doesn't do cleans. I don't get it. 2: It looks like the GP-1000 is selling for $350-$400 area on Ebay...

I just read EVERY post in this entire fucking thread, and I still have questions. Questions are highlighed in red for convenience. I'm seeking to replicate Alexi's Follow the Reaper/Hatebreeder album sounds as closely as I can. I'm comfortable with a soldering iron. I have built moderately...

I don't know shit about PODs, but watch this (click) video on youtube and see if that works for ya. Post back and let us know how it goes.

Be sure to post back with your results, bro.
