I'd like to change the tubes in my fender cyber-twin (130 watt combo). How do I access them? Also, any recommendations on what brand to use? Thanks.

I have a Crown CE-2000 which I use to power (2) JBL SR4718X cabinets. I've been running the Crown in "stereo" mode ( 2 in's 2 out's), which supplies 660w per channel @ 4-ohm. I was told that I should be running the Crown in "bridge-mono" mode in order to take advantage of the extra wattage...

I want to connect the main outs (XLR balanced) of a Mackie 1402-VLZ pro to the inputs of a Rane AC-22B (XLR balanced) then run the outs of the Rane to the inputs of (2) QSC 2450's (XLR balanced). I'm gonna rack mount these, so I'd like to use (6) 3 foot cables to do this. I have (2) questions...

Do any rack mount effect units such as the Lexicon MPX 100, Alesis MidiVerb 4 or others (besides Digitech 300) support the use of a midi foot controller? This would be used for live performing.

I'd like a PA system that can fill a medium sized room (300-400) people. I have approx. $3000. How's this sound? no pun intended. (2) Yamaha S115-IV's (I already have these) (2) JBL MP418S's (1) QSC RMX 1850HD for the subs (mono bridged 1800W) (1) QSC RMX2450 for the S115-IV's (stereo 500W x...

This forum has been very helpful to me over the past few years, most recently "bigfoot" has helped me out. The people involved with this forum are far more knowledgable than the average "music store guy". Here's what I've read. The power amp wattage should be "twice the speaker's continuous IEC...

Here's my problem: I have a Mackie 808M head (300w per channel) which I run a pair of Yamaha S115-IV speakers. I use this setup in small rooms, and use it for vocals only. When playing bigger rooms 200+ people, it just doesn't have enough balls. Also I'd like to mike the drums and bass in the...

I'd like to add a couple of subwoofers to my PA set-up. I've got a Mackie 808m head and I'm running 2 Yamaha S115IV's (sounds good in the cellar, but I need more bottom end). Have any of you heard the EAW La118z sub's? My local "music store guy" tells me these are the ones to get.

I have a Fender cyber-twin, and I'm looking for a patch that will emulate the Line6 "INSANE" sound.

I'd like to get my 15 year old son a PA system. They play heavy-rock (POD,Slipknot, etc.....). I'd like to buy a Mackie 808M head, but I'd like some advice on what speakers are compatible and will be able to take a miked kick drum. At this time I can only afford two speaker cabinets. The 808M...

I've been playing guitar for 35 years. I have a '72 Guild CE100e hollow-body electric, a '74 Ovation classical, and a '87 Fender American Strat. I recently bought an Ovation Standard Balladeer, (mail order). It sounds like hell. I gonna give it to my son. I'd like to get a Gibson J-150 or a...

Any suggestions for a "good" camping guitar, about $100? Something that will stay in tune, but that will also take a beating.

Is anyone having trouble with the aftertouch on the QS8? It doesn't seem to work on several piano sounds i.e. (Zen Piano G4,A4). If I use the TRANSPOSE (change keys) it stays relative to the notes not the actual keys. This tells me that it may be a programing error rather than mechanical one.

I have a Yamaha DX27, which has been put away in the closet for years. Today I pulled it out and turned it on and I get CHG RAM BATTERY! I know this means that I have to change the RAM battery, my question is, can I do this myself, or do I have to pay some guy $75 to remove a couple of screws...
