    MKA-2 Johnny Ramone Tribute

    A quick demo vid of the finished article.
    Guitar plugged straight into a VOX VBM1 & slaved through a Roland JCM 120
    No other effects.

    Beautiful sound- much better than mine although I was quite pleased by the sound out of the electronics delivered with the kit.

    That's just a great sound. A tad more British sounding than NJ to my ear, but that's good IMO ;-)

    Cheers,
    I'll admit that swapping out all of the electronics was probably a bit overkill, but I was changing the pickups anyway and I thought, why not.

    Thanks,
    This was the volume setting for the two videos, so I still haven't heard it even close to being cranked up...
