My samick formula's neck seems to have an issue...i was re-stringing the guitar, and as i put the high e on, i went to play the first five frets on the e string and they wouldn't play...it would make a sound like it was muted or something...not a note at all. I then looked at the neck, and...

just for fun, i mic'd up my line 6 spider III 15 W with my MXL 990...while also having my line 6 spider II HD150 through a park G412A cab mic'd with a shure sm57/sm58....im sad to say that it turned out the like 15 watt sounded better mic'd up than the half stack!! Anyone else experience these...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Radial-Tonebone-BigShot-ABY-Passive-Switcher?sku=153931 Could i use an amp switch to switch between between the normal/top boost channels on an ac-30?

So how are these things? I love how these look..but looks are very deceiving.

ALright..im curious about a few products ive seen pictures of: does anyone know who makes that guitar? Anybody know what the big blackheart head in the center of the picture is? Looks cool. EDIT: I actually found out the blackheart thing..its a 2 channel all tube head called the...

Which should i use to amplify a pod xt, an epi valve jr or blackheart amp? I love how the blackhearts are..and if it doesn't add any unwanted noise to my rig..i'd love to use a pod with one of these blackheart amps. I was thinking about getting a spider valve and using it to power a pod, but i...

Anyone know any particularly good sites for guitar techniques? Listening to some metal songs i realized theres a lot i want to learn..i know chords, power chords, i have an ear for what sounds good/bad musically after years of viola playing, i know how to wrote music, and read music..its...

Looking for a 2 pre(XLR with Phantom Power)..midi would be a nice bonus. Firewire/USB doesnt matter. I was looking into the Mackie Satelite thing, Lexicon Omega, etc..

I was playing some boss pedals(trying out delays and such) through a solid state randall today..and was pretty impressed with its clean/overdriven channel...how do the tube amps sound?

Recently i brought my old Digitech RP200 out and started messing around...and instead of plugging it in to my mixer, or amp...i plugged it into the line in on my upstairs computer...And I've gotta say, with the right tweaking this thing sounds really really good...And unlike micing my amp, which...

Which would be better? Since it is a essentially a preamp, would i be better off(sound wise) hooking it into a power amp or would it sound fine through a tube combo amp?

Im looking for an interface with 4 ins(line in...if they are XLR that would be great)...that can record 4 tracks at time(the most i use is 4 mics at a time)...and midi would be nice...I've seen the lexicon omega and m-audio delta 44, but are there any others out there? Edit: Oh and quick...

Looking for a nice clean tube amp to run pedals through...im trying to see which is best for around the 500-700 dollar range...used/new..I've been thinking these lately: -Vox Ac30(does the ac15 just have a clean sound, or more of a distorted sound?) -Fender Hot Rod Deluxe -Orange Tiny Terror...

Just seeking some more opinions on mics...this time its condensers, and once again you can put in any input...i have been favoring the mxl 960, but hey..why not throw some others on the try out table?
