I got the Circle K balanced .150 .112 .082 .061 set and it is amazing. For rounds, I'm only buying their stuff from now on.
I have flatwounds and it's like unraveling towards the bridge and that part is sitting on the bridge. Probably a significant factor. Hoping heavier strings will allow me to move the saddle up and give me more tension. I'm definitely going to pick up a balanced set as well. Probably not that heavy, though. What do you tune to? And how do they feel? I had one pair of round that just ate my fingers up and I never want that again.

Hmm...dunno what's up with the string then I tune to BEAD with that set. It sounds (and looks) like the strings are HUGE, but it's great. I can't stand steel strings so their fancy nickel combo (nickel plated? I dunno) is a nice compromise. They stay in tune extremely well and the act of tuning is no problem. Umm..they just feel really good, having all of the strings at nearly the same tension improves playability for me. I tried .130 and .135 Bs from other sets and they were still too floppy for my liking; the ridiculously huge B from this balanced set corrects that. They're just great! Slightly more expensive than a regular set but totally worth it.
Lately I've been doing a lot of sliding and my fingers were only a little tender for the first day or so. They definitely don't shred your fingertips like Rotosounds or something. I'm still in the process of mellowing them out ever so slightly.

Finally ordered myself a Moog expression pedal. Will have fun with my Deluxe Memory Boy and Tremolessence when it comes in

Thanks for the feedback man they sound great to me Curious, how much tension does the balanced .112 E have? I'd be looking at a similar gauge for my top string (probably tuned to D) and I like to hammer on my strings from time to time. With my current D (.105) I get very little sustain because of the tension.

In: Compact Faye Sing and a 4ms Atoner Both coming from the us though so I won't see them for ages... Why aren't there any awesome pedals in the UK?
The PDF-1 from Stone Deaf Audio looks pretty interesting, as do things from Ghost Effects!
I forgot about the PDF-1, that's been on my "too expensive but daaaaang" list for ages and I think they lowered the price? Ghost effects are amazing too, but I meant crazy things rather than really nice vintage-y stuff.
Yeah I want fender tubes crazy bad right now, working out a pedals for blues junior swap currently, I know it isn't top of the heap but it will be a big improvement over my valve JR as far as clean head room...right..???

Hah yeah man that's understandable. But seriously, Brian's artwork is pretty incredible. Especially for not that much extra. Makes me wish I got mine from him so he could have painted it.
