Happy Monday and heads up the 5 Watt World and Barber Electronics Barb EQ is back in stock. They are available on the Reverb store, or email us directly, and we will hook you up with a PayPal invoice, and you can likely save a little bit on shipping and state taxes if you’re outside of Pennsylvania..

I have four of the Barb EQ pedals in stock today. All four of these are proofs for our upcoming new color, they are each unique, and none of them are the exact color and graphic that we will have in the final look. We are offering these for people who want a unique look. They are $189.95. You can buy them by emailing and asking for a PayPal invoice. Please be 100% sure to update your shipping address before you pay 😊 the way, you should describe the color you want is “first from the left, or all the way on the left, second from the left, third from the left, or fourth from the leftl. I’m pretty colorblind so descriptions of the color will be tougher for me to work with.
I changed out the strings on this traditional Bigsby (ugh!) equipped 2002 Gretsch MIJ 6120 Jr the other day. Actually went down to 9's at the suggestion of guru David Barber as the frets are on the low side. "low frets...go lighter" and it worked perfectly on this guitar.
I'll admit, that I mostly use this for jazzier things and the orange color sort of rubs me the wrong way for that image...but with the blue...color theory engaged!
BTW, this is me smiling. My wife is always joking that only I know when I'm smiling...unless I'm laughing...which I do often...usually on a livestream.
I'm off celebrating my birthday, my wife's birthday and my mom's (90th!) birthday. I've got two videos almost ready to go to tied you over.

It's Friday! TPS and an hour's worth of exercises and guitar tone tweaking. The Magnatone Kingstons sounded so good I had to get my pair of Princetons out (Mojotone handwired and a Fender ToneMaster) to check my memory. This rig does sound wonderful, but the Maggies sound, I don't know, "bigger"...because they are just a bit.
The guitar is a 2009 Mira X with Ron Ellis "Ellisonic" pickups, single coil wonders in this very familiar package.
Note the Rok Lok strap locks that have moved me back to playing on a strap, even sitting down.
The Barber Custom pedal with red knobs is a prototype for the Barb EQ model David worked up for me. I use it with the Princetons on the high power tweed setting to add in some tweedy midrange, or on the 5e3 to scoop it for rhythm playing. David is building new batches of Barb EQ's including a new more "vintagy" color (I refuse to say "colorway".)
I need to work on the Stomp presets for this tiny board. I'd like to put a harmonic trem on a switch...not in anyway influenced by Joey Landreth being on TPS today...not much anyway.

I so rarely get to play something for a video I thought I'd share this slow and easy thing I did for the Music Man Guitars Short History that's coming out in a couple of weeks.

Friday morning means "That Pedal Show" and playing along in the guitar corner. I wanted to get my 2007 Les Paul Deluxe out from it's "prop duties" in the filming area and put it up against one of the Mira X guitars. Sort of a "buckers" moment with the pair of Magnatones while they are both still here.
The guitars are neck and neck but the rig needs to be dialed very differently to let the Mira shine whereas this simple rig has the Deluxe cooking right out of the box.
The B Custom pedal is a prototype Barb EQ and in the "high power tweed" setting gives these amps the mid-bump they want with these mini-humbuckers.
The mic stand is holding the Audigo mic I've been using to grab little bits of my playing. I just need an easy way to put the phone up to grab those bits in video....but they are coming along.
Oh, and yes, those are tennis balls under the amps tilting them back. Just about perfect and a great tip. You're welcome. :)

I have some family matters that will need my attention for the coming months, so responses to email and social media could be slower. Orders will be filled Mon-Fri and could take 3 days to a week to ship. I hope to have business back to normal as soon as I can, and I will update. We are still taking orders and building pedals, but I will be in the shop less , which could cause some small delays.
The Barb EQ is back in stock, both direct, and in our Reverb store at $189.95. Emailing directly usually saves sales tax outside of Pennsylvania, and a couple bucks on shipping.
