as per the subject looking for a pre/pick for a martin d18. I am also concerned I dont want to make too many marks etc for resale. The main one I have been looking at is the Fishman Ellipse Matrix Blend. Has anyone tried this with a D18? I am guessing by the reviews they seem more than...

Hi all as the subject suggests I am interested in pairing up a mic to an avalon 737. All I have at the moment is a couple sm57's, e906 and nt1a. Mainly recording guitar (acoustic, classical, clean, overdriven) and potentially some voices (even the synth put through the guitar amps at some...

Hi everyone. Just a quick discussion - hopefully something that will kick off a bunch of replies.. I know there are many talks here about a bunch of mics but I want to concentrate on ribbon's. Personally I am likely mainly to record guitars (electric and acoustic) using both a sennheiser e906...

mic pre question (yet another one!) Hi all, I've been through many threads and the amount of information is overwhelming. I am after a mic pre as I am sure you have guessed, two channel. Not particularly fussed about extras The types of application will be pretty broad.... they will cover...

I am interested to hear what strat mods people hear have done for themselves, and what their favourites were.. i.e. their fave modded pups, necks, anything you can think of really... For reference I have a warmoth neck on my main strat with kinman pick ups. I guess its sort of a frankenstrat...

Okay... so any advice... the fishman stuff seems to be popular but there are so many options for a pick up for an acoustic guitar its frightening. The only thing I can say is I would prefer one that will not need holes to be punched through the guitar.... if that is a possibility.. Thanks

I've seen bits and pieces throughout the web as to what people think is the ideal pedal order, but I'd like to hear what order people here have there pedals and what type/brand pedals they are... I think it would be interesting to see the many variations going around ....

Hi all, I have a nice bass that i currently play through a sansamp. It's a nice tone But I may need to play soon. *gulp* So I am looking for a bass cab and amp. Doesn't need to rock the whole world. Not even the hemisphere.... but a good warm tone, more 70's than modern, would be really nice...

Hi all, I know (I did search the site) that there have been many posts about noise gates. I'd like to mention the gear that I have though, and see what people recommend. Basically at the moment I have two setups.. one for recording, one just to Play. Its more the playing one I care about. That...
