I am looking for a good preamp for drums, guitar, bass and vocals. It can have one or two channel. I don't want a channel strip, just a preamp. Right now I'm considering the Universal Audio SOLO/610 (one preamp unit) and the Neve Portico 5012 (2 preamps unit). How do you compare those preamps...

Right now I have a Presonus Firepod. I want to upgrade to the Digi 002r. Will it work on my PC and with Cubase SX or Nuendo? Thank you very much. Alex

Hey guys, I'm a guitar player and I am looking for a nice vintage fender amp. Has anyone ever tried the Fender Bassman '59 ltd ? I was wondering if I could get any distortion out of it. Is it just a clean amp? Do you have any other suggestions for an amp? I'm also considering a Fender Hot Rod...

Can I use my normal bass amp with an upright bass too? I'm planning to buy an upright bass and put a pickup in it to be able to plug it in an amp. I use an Ampeg V4bH with an Ampeg SVT-410HE. So, can I plug an upright bass in it? Will I be able to have a good sound? Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone, I really need your help right now! I'm a pianist and never thought I'd play something else than acoustic piano until I got a new band. I really like their stuff. They are playing a kind of weird jazz with a lot of organic sounds like contrabass, accordion, music box, strings...

Which Dimarzio bridge humbucker compares to the bridge humbucker in a Gibson SG Standard, which is a 498T Alnico magnet humbucker? I played on a Gibson SG standard and the tone was amazing. I want the same tone for my Gibson SG special faded so I'm gonna replace it with a Dimarzio. Thank you!

Hello everybody! I just got my new Epiphone Casino in vintage sunburst and i'm so happy with it! It is not the elitist version, it is the one that sells around 600$. I would like to upgrade it by putting seymour duncan's p-90 style pickups. I just want to make sure I can do it. I know the casino...

Hello there! I just got my new Takamine eg523sc which I love so much. My band and I have a powered mixer with two JBL loudspeakers. We use this sound system to run the vocals, the keyboards and the electronic drumkit. I thought I could plug my acoustic guitar in it, but when I tried, it didn't...

I wrote down a drum part on guitar pro 4, then I exported it in MIDI, then I imported it in Nuendo. Now that I've changed the sound of the drums and I like it, how can I export it? Everytime I export a MIDI file, I listen to it after and it's exactly the same thing as at the beggining (the...

I'm looking for lead sounds. soft or "in your face". Sawtooth type. I checked a lot of synths, but I stopped on the Nord Lead 3, Novation KS4, Waldorf XT-K and the Access Virus kb. What synth do you guys think could give me the better lead sounds? Thanks

I play a Fender Toronado with a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100. I have also a Gibson SG special that works perfectly with my JCM. Since I bought my Toronado, there's a lot of hum when I play, I have to be at 7-8 feet from the amp to play without earing an irritating feedback. I'm looking for a boss...

Hey I got a new Fender toronado (mexican made deluxe) and it makes a lot of hum, you know that irritating feedback. I have to be besides the guitar cab or very far otherwise I can't play due to the hum. It has fender atomick humbuckers with chrome pickup covers. Will changing the bridge pickup...

After reading a lot about tones and everything, I decided to build my own stratocaster on warmoth.com! Do you guys think I'll have a great tone from it? I don't know which part of electronic to put on it, that's why I need help. I want a heavy sound that will fit perfectly with my mesa single...

I have a fender stratocaster and a fender toronado along with a mesa boogie single rectifier. I want to get that loud and heavy guitar sounds that most modern bands have. (Simple plan, New Found Glory, etc...) I know I can get that sound with a gibson, but I like the playability and look of a...

Hey I got a fender american telecaster on ebay and the look is really cool, but I really don't like the sound. There's like TOO much treble, and my marshall jcm 2000 tsl 100 doesn't sound great with it. I know my guitar is due to a check but I did one like 2 or 3 months ago and when I did it, it...
