    pedalboard snake DIY

    Hey all, I've been lookin' at these pedalboard snakes at www.pedalsnake.com and I was thinking I'd try my hand at putting one together myself, for the fun of it. I want to have a power line (for a oneSpot adapter for the pedals), lines for the fx loop, a dual footswitch (channel switching and...

    Valve Jr. Head Cabinet Question

    Hey there, I'm planning on getting a Valve Junior Head within the the next week or so, and I want to put together a cab for it. I want to build a 2x12 (maybe a 1x12, depending on the the price of the speakers I want) that I could use for the Epiphone and with my other amps, a Crate Vintage...

    Hey all, I am planning on building my own pedal board, and I saw the true-bypass strip idea at http://www.pedalboards.com (scroll down a bit, it is there) and I would really like to build one of those to go onto the pedal board. I am planning on including LED's for each bypass loop, and will...

    Vintage Club 50 impedance and other things

    Hey all, I have an all Vintage Club 50 3x10 combo amp. I've been toying with the idea of pulling the amp electronics and making a head out of it. The one concern I have is that there are 3 10" speakers in there rated at 16 ohms each, wired in parallel, which comes to an impedence of ~5.33...

    Hard on Me Sweetest Part Echoes Hey guys, These are three of the songs that my band has recorded recently, and I could really use some feedback on these preliminary mixes. I think they are pretty good, but I know I still have work to do. Any comments/criticisms are greatly appreciated...

    Holes in side of acoustic?

    link Just saw this picture, and I was wondering something. What is the purpose of the holes in the side of this guitar? Are they just auxilliary soundholes or something? Thanks!

    Babicz Guitars

    http://www.babiczguitars.com You have to check out this guy's guitars. He uses a couple of cool ideas on construction, mainly the idea of having an adjustable height neck on an acoustic, and spreading the tension from the strings over a wider area of the soundboard, as opposed to just having...

    John Mayer's guitar tone?

    Does anyone know what gear he uses to get that awesome crunchy distortion? I just heard his new live album, and it is INCREDIBLE. His tone is just soooooo sweet. Anyway....if anyone knows about this, that would be insanely awesome. Thanks in advance!! :D :D

    Funky-ish Rock-ish Song

    http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2795 Well, there it is. I'm gonna add real drums and vocals, as well as a solo later, but I only had an hour to do this, and I'm happy with it. I mainly did it for songwriting purposes. We'll rerecord it later. The drums are straight up MIDI...

    Live recording!!

    We recorded our gig from last saturday, and I actually think it turned out really well, except that the guitar is way too quiet, but there's nothing we can do now, because we just did AKG C430's in an ORTF about 15 feet back from the "stage." Ok it, was just someones living room, but a lot of...

    Seck mixers?

    Does anyone know anything about Seck mixers? The 1882, in specific? They seem to go for reasonable prices, and I've been looking at 8 buss mixers for recording. It looks like these mixers are kind of old, but if I can get it for super cheap..... Thanks!

    Bass strings

    I was at the not so good old GC the other day, and they had this bass there that had these strings on it that weren't wound; they were like upright bass strings. Does anyone know what these are called, or who makes them or anything? Oh and if you guys have a type/brand/model/whatever of bass...

    Malakian's live setup?

    I was just curious if anyone knows what Daron Malakian (System of a Down) uses live amp-wise. I just assumed that he was using a Mesa, but it almost looks like they are Line 6 Flextone II's or III's. There are no badges on it that I can see, so it could really be anything. That is just what...

    ~$300 for a bass amp

    What would you guys recommend amp-wise (for bass) in the $300 range? I have played through a Peavey Basic 112, and it sounded pretty good, but nothing special. I was just curious what you guys would recommend for a good, solid bass tone, and one that would have enough volume for small clubs...

    Upgrade to Cubase SX?

    Hey guys, I'm using Cubasis VST 3.0 (old, old version of Cubase SE, or at least that is my guess), and I am wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to Cubase SX3, or put that money towards another mic or something. I guess what I want to know is, are there enough differences/upgrades present...

    Hey guys, Here's one I just did last Saturday, and have been slowly working on the mix, and here is the first one. I would greatly appreciate some advice on this song. The vocal mix is kinda rough, (well, so is my singing, but thats a different issue!)and my snare drum needs to be dismantled...

    Just a song

    This is just a song from, oh, I think 2 years ago, which I thought I'd put up here, just for fun, see what you guys thought. It is rough in some spots, but I think its still worth sharing. So, tear it up, make fun of it, whatever!! I Don't Want to Play Lo-Fi I Don't Want to Play Hi-Fi
