Yeah, that's where I got the information that they supposedly have Power Scaling. But I haven't heard anything from Rhino (I emailed them directly for more info), so I thought someone who had played one or owned one could comment on how well this feature works.

Anyone played one? I'm interested in them because, according to the guy that runs London Power amps, Rhinos also have Power Scaling for playing with max overdrive with minimum volume. He says they just don't advertise the fact. So I'm trying to figure out if the Beast model has that feature...

With all due respect, are you sure that this is fair to say? I haven't gotten the impression that MrWho isn't listening but rather that he's trying to understand the logic behind how y'all make purchase decisions. If anything he might be accused of naivete, but that's just a result of...

Okay, I'm looking at the website right now, and I'm playing with the Intel P4 system. How do you go about choosing the components to go into it? I mean, some of the choices are simple enough, but I have no idea what type of video card to select, or mainboard, or memory (I know I'd want 512...

Sky Blue Lou, thanks for the link. Is this system pre-assembled? Because I've read about the Pete Leoni RYO, and it seems like it would be good enough for what I'm doing (and cheaper than the other turnkey systems I've seen). I couldn't find any reference to it being pre-assembled, but I...

Yeah, that's right! "I never thought it was such a bad little LP." But you gotta be holding a blanket before you say that.

I know there have been several threads in the past regarding turnkey systems such as Soundchaser and Carillon. Recently I learned about Studio Gem, and I'm very interested in the Silver VII system. Anyone here know anything about 'em? I did a search here and turned up nada, so any info would...

Yeah, but then you check out Jeff "Skunk" Baxter or Steve Hackett and it's like, "Well, there must be something to it." :D I don't mind playing while seated, so long as I can get the proper height/level of my legs. Does that make sense? For example, the tall stools we use at church have rungs...

Okay, I'm not super-qualified to answer this question, but here's some grist for the mill: Are you planning on micing the 4x12? If so, let the mic do your "listening" for you. Move the mic around the speaker until you hear the sound you want coming through the PA. Keep in mind that closer to...

Thanks for clarifying the point about removing the reels, Aaron. That's what I meant to say but didn't quite make it. Have you heard the King Crimson song "Walking on Air"? It's got some backward guitar that's very ethereal. Great song, on the THRAK album.

Yeah, I don't know much about them, but I do know that Phil was TL, really. It would be like Motorhead touring or recording without Lemmy.

Great call, Cyrokk, on "Voodoo" and "Beating Around the Bush," and a tip o' the hat to you, Mr. Cheney, for "Lay It Down." Man, so many good ones, so little time. But I'll take a rip at it: "Princess of the Night" by Saxon "Bloodstone" by Judas Priest "China Cat Sunflower" by Grateful Dead...

Not to be a nit-picker, but Gar Samuelson was the drummer on Megadeth's first two albums; he died in 1999. Maybe you were thinking of Chris Poland? He's a seriously great guitarist with a unique style. I would probably add Vinnie Moore and Tony Macalpine just for fun. And you probably know...

I'm guessing you are referring to the backwards-sounding quality in the lead. If so, guess what? That's exactly what it is. I'm oversimplifying, but essentially they played the recorded tracks backward and he played the lead in the allotted break (the recorded tracks all sound backwards when...

Guess I missed that one in my usual Cave digging. :) Okay, I'll post over there. I'm really hoping for some input from youse guys; hopefully it will be a topic that you can relate to. Thanks, dafduc, for the suggestion.
