Funny story about pawnshops and why you shouldn't support them. I walked into one a few years after having my bass guitar stolen and saw it hanging on the wall. I'm still curious - WWJD? Because I was mighty tempted to grab the thing off of the wall and run, but my wife reasoned me out of...

Isn't it the exact same microphone except that the spit trap is overtop of the capsule?

Thanks these have been great suggestions. I guess the kind of tone that I'm looking for is Robbie Robertson, which is probably just a cranked twin. Kind of scratchy, with a bit more sustain, but not really a chug machine. I guess vintage distortion would cover the bill. Rolling Stones, John...

The bass sounded fine. A tad bit loud. I think if you didn't use staccato for every note and used a few more half notes to cement the line, along with a few well chosen rests it'd do wonders for the line. Try accenting the downbeats by nailing the one then letting some breathing room...

Hi, I've already got a Fender 65 deluxe reverb reissue - I'm looking for something comparable in wattage (20-40) that's a combo (head+cab would be OK, but not something I really want right now) that has a great distortion. I could care less if the cleans are horrible. I've got $1000 USD...

Thanks mixsit. I'll e-mail yamaha and ask what the nominal range is, I think it'd be a good thing to know. I'm having to set the preamp all the time to the max (with the noise floor going WAY up and making the signal unusable) and use alot of 'makeup gain' inside of the machine digitally. I'd...

Thanks RRuskin, those are good suggestions as far as tracking levels, and putting the preamp through the dedicated line in's. I'm still clueless on the how to read the spec +4dBu to -44dBu. Does that mean + 4dBu is attenuating the signal by 4 dB? I went to audio school (not that THAT means...

I was looking online at the specs for my AW2400 because I've rented a preamp with -60 dB of gain because I'm not able to get my dynamic SM57 anywhere near -6 dBFS for tracking purposes (pretty loud electric guitar) with the built in preamps on my unit. However even with the other preamp cranked...

Your looking for filter sounds and you DON'T want a EH Micro-Synth? That's all it is - you can blend suboctaves, upper-octaves and blend the normal signal in, set the levels of square wave, the sweep points, the rate, whether it's going to sweep up or down. The bassballs is a pretty good...

I've actually got the yamaha speakers in question and I've had about a year and a half of mixing on them. Yamaha is fantastic to deal with over the phone concerning parts and warrenty as well. The tweeter went out of mine and it was simply a phone call and 2 weeks later I was rocking again...

Spending money on anything music related (as far as a monetary return on investment) is usually just throwing your money away. I know it's like having a heroin needle sticking out of my arm the amount of good musical equipment does my wallet. However, a used Fender Blues JR is the way to go...

Roland JC120 is pretty sterile but bright. Yamah put out alot of pretty good transistor amp's in the 1980's, but most of them are in the mode of the JC120.

Maybe a cold solder joint?

Hi, I just bought a Fender deluxe reverb reissue (DRI) and it sounds fantastic. I can't keep it cranked to 11 all this time and I was missing a little bit of grit in the sound so I bought a VS Route 808. I'm really happy with the pedal. It's got a wide range of overdrive sounds, when really...
