I really wanted to buy a POD. That way I could play with it and try to get a decent tone and find out what is so cool about it. I could also use it along with my PSA-1 to give it some effects and to play with additional speaker modeling. Kind of like the good tones B.Sabbath got with his GT2...

I often read threads where people state cheap amps and modelers are just as good as, if not better than expensive amps. I really want to believe this. I want to think I can plug in a modeler and get the same tones as an "overpriced" amp. I want to believe makers of high end equipment are just...

I don't know if you can imagine this, but I came home today and there's this white package in my mailbox. I open it up and oooh! Vol. II is lightly teasing my fingertips. After penetrating my player with the blue CD, my auditory senses begin to become instensly aroused to the sounds of my...

Just plopped it in the mail an hour ago. Wrote it, performed it, recorded it, and mixed it just for the Comp CD. It's "naked" because I didn't have time to submit it to the Clinic for review before submitting it. Btw Slack, You put me down for one of the remaining Vol. I CD's. Thus, I...

Wa-hoo! My wife planned a short vacation to Memphis where we toured the Gibson plant. Kick ass vacation idea. I highly recommend the tour if you are into guitar construction or woodworking. You get to see each stage of the hand manufacturing process of semi-hollowbody guitars. If you're...

Ya know, I don't care how long you've been recording. I don't care about how anal you are about your speaker mic'ing techniques... Don't ever assume that everything is set up the same as the night before. Especially if you have a stupid cat. In particular, you may record a killer guitar...

I received a question about piezo drum triggers in the Guitar forum and thought I'd post the response here. Piezoelectric transducer drum triggers are an inexpensive and good alternative to electronic drum kits and storebought drum triggers. Of course, to use them, you need a drum module with...

New old post. This was one of the first full songs recorded on my VS880 around '96 or '97. I think I played through a Mesa/Boogie Quad. Also, the vox may have been recorded using the mic modeling of the VFX card. Sweeeeeeeeeet- Emooooooooooo- Tioooonnnnnn...

charger had a cool riff at the end of his "insane lead 3" mpg. In particular, it was at 1:03 and ran up a scale. charger, d'ya wanna disclose your "secret riff?" ;)

FWIW, I thought I'd share my highly subjective results from an experiment performed the other night. After hearing different stories of using SM57's etc. on certain vox, I thought I'd check how the following compared: 1. SM58 2. AKG C3000 3. Marshall v67 A female singer was recorded through...

This is a recording (or two) of song clips meant as demo tracks for a promo CD for a female vocalist. I have more info about these tracks, but I'd like to abstain from disclosing it until I've received a few comments. Some of the info I'm proud :D of and some pisses me off :mad: . I'd...

Finally got the mp3 finished last night. For me, it was an exercise in dinking around with Cubase (because everything else I've ever finished was either on a VS-880 or in Cakewalk). For you, it's samples of hard rock/metal GT2 settings. Yeah, it's a cover tune, but I thought Speed would like...

I posted this on www.cubase.net, but thought someone here may have input: Summary: In Cubase VST/32 5.1, when trying to record a mix sent out S/PDIF and returned via S/PDIF to two tracks (or a stereo track), I get a message something like "Please select folder for audio files." However, under...

What did Jeff Beck show? :confused:

Wah-hoo. Got my wine red Studio today. Onlly $800, brand new. I compared it to a new Standard at the shop. It blew the standard away (because the Standard had old, dead strings and was set up poorly :rolleyes: ). Man it's fun playing strung low. I'm most happy. Thanks to all for your...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=895436363 However, I'm getting a Les Paul Studio and a Fender HM Strat to replace it... with plenty of change left over. ;) Bought it for $700. Sold it for $1600 after only 5 years. Screw the stock market, buy more guitars!

I and some non-shredding buddies saw Michael Angelo's band C4 at the Brat Stop on Saturday. A quasi-highlight happened early when they invited Tommy Holland up to sing "Gotta Run." This was the 80's hit from when Tommy and Angelo were in the now defunct band Holland. It was a "quasi"...

Just found out my SX upgrade is on my doorstep! Time to go experiment.

I'll start with stating I'm not extremely Les Paul savvy and I don't have good access to a music store that carrys them, but I do like their tone. Therefore, to add some variety to my tone arsenal, I'd like to get a Les Paul. Especially for the warmth of the mahogany body and the shorter neck...

Just curious. I could have used it in another thread. Matt
