I got this maybe two weeks or less ago. 2016 Les Paul Studio HP in wine red. Yes, it has the G-Force tuners but I don't mind them for now, they seem to work well enough, just take some getting used to. This thing came with a really nice Metal case. Very heavy duty.

3. I did the financing route. No interest payments for two years. I picked up a used USA strat last week which just arrived yesterday. That I didn't finance tho. But yeah, have been on a bit of a gear binge. Need to settle in and get to work. I'll be the first to admit I have way to much gear.

I seem to have lost control of my spending again. Just picked this up in the evening.

Cool!
Put a db level app on your phone and tell us the readings inside and out of the booth if you can please! -

I always throw a little house warming party for the neighbors. Let them play your drums and see what you're up to.
Show them your efforts to keep the peace. Low bass can not be stopped, you're gonna sound like the ass end of a pimps car passing through. Just curb their imagination a little.
You're a much better neighbor than I in my early days.

Sweetwater, Musicians Friend, Sam Ash, and especially Fed Ex and UPS love me as I contribute to their job security.
Buying gear is good for the economy.

Stopped by a music store a few weeks ago and this little thing caught my attention. The Squier Contemporary series guitars are very affordable and are really fun to play. I really digged the feel of the neck on this particular one. Perfect for mods. I threw in some Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz pups, with a 5 way superswitch for some coil split wiring and added Fender locking tuners. Turned out awesome and is now a very vesatile guitar. I can always find a pickup position that blends with almost any profile in my box.

Sorry, guys, I tried to do the video last evening, but for some reason, everytime I recorded the db either inside or outside the booth, my phone AND my iPad would stop recording, and then I'd have to start all over. Took forever, and then it was too late.I can tell you this: the sound within the booth was 117dB at times. That's rock concert level. Outside, I got a reading of 102dB, or more. I think the average reduction I got was about 10dB. That's about half perceived volume.
But don't take my word for it: I'll get the video done during the daytime tomorrow. It was on channel 3 of a Vh4 with the volume maximised on the channel and the master volume at 10 o'clock. May even be able to bump up the master volume for a crazy test of the reduction. If I can though, I'll try to showcase the db meter at various amp setting.
EDIT: 117db: For reference, that's between:
Thunderclap, chain saw. Oxygen torch (121 dB).AND
Steel mill, auto horn at 1 meter. Turbo-fan aircraft at takeoff power at 200 ft (118 dB). Riveting machine (110 dB); live rock music (108 - 114 dB).120dB is painful, as it is 32 times as loud as 70 dB, which is a passenger car at 65 mph at 25 ft (77 dB); freeway at 50 ft from pavement edge 10 a.m. (76 dB). Living room music (76 dB); radio or TV-audio, vacuum cleaner (70 dB).
Trust me, the amp was freaking loud. In fact, I don't know why the neighbours didn't complain about the volume outside the booth at around 8pm.
102db is a Jet take-off (at 305 meters), use of outboard motor, power lawn mower, motorcycle, farm tractor, jackhammer, garbage truck. Boeing 707 or DC-8 aircraft at one nautical mile (6080 ft) before landing (106 dB); jet flyover at 1000 feet (103 dB); Bell J-2A helicopter at 100 ft (100 dB).
Jesus, I'm an inconsiderate non-Bastard.
Here are some pictures of my "booth of doom":

That's awesome, Aj! I see these boxes come up every now and then. I may buy one when I need it, now that I've seen/heard your setup. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Rock or Die Motherfuckers!LMFAO!!! Damn that's funny!
Yes, I've always tried to warn the neighbors first lol. There's always that time when you're drunk AF and the volume gets dimed no matter how hard you try to keep it down tho' ... or not.

Thank you for the measurements nightlight!

Give me some time, guys. I'll try to get the measurements on camera today.

Here are the results of the test. Got a peak reading of 108.8 dB inside the booth with an average max volume of 104 dB or so.
Outside the booth, I got a peak reading of 99.1 dB and an average reading of 88.9 dB
Think it's safe to say that the product works as advertised

I am really happy with this shield. I just finished a profiling session, at 12 midnight no less.
The result can be seen in free profile Mesa Boogie Mark V EVF on the rig exchange. It is my Mark V into a Mesa Boogie Thiele cab with an EVM12L inside.
You wouldn't believe how quiet it is in the room! I can finally hear just the profile on my headphone instead of having it mixed with the sound of my blaring amp!
