    Low Cost amplifier for distortion.

    Hi, I've already got a Fender 65 deluxe reverb reissue - I'm looking for something comparable in wattage (20-40) that's a combo (head+cab would be OK, but not something I really want right now) that has a great distortion. I could care less if the cleans are horrible. I've got $1000 USD...

    +4dBu to -44 dBu - Can someone explain this.

    I was looking online at the specs for my AW2400 because I've rented a preamp with -60 dB of gain because I'm not able to get my dynamic SM57 anywhere near -6 dBFS for tracking purposes (pretty loud electric guitar) with the built in preamps on my unit. However even with the other preamp cranked...

    Visual Sounds Route 808

    Hi, I just bought a Fender deluxe reverb reissue (DRI) and it sounds fantastic. I can't keep it cranked to 11 all this time and I was missing a little bit of grit in the sound so I bought a VS Route 808. I'm really happy with the pedal. It's got a wide range of overdrive sounds, when really...

    ESP Eclipse-II VB

    Hi, I've been thinking about getting a Les Paul but the price is somewhat prohibitive. I've got $2k CAD to blow on a solidbody guitar and I've been really interested in an ESP Eclipse - II, especially the vintage black. I haven't tried one out yet but everything I've read said it's a nice...

    1950 C&W Rockabilly Electric guitar tone.

    Hi guys, I play alot of older country material (Waylon, Hank Williams, Willy Nelson, Cash... that kind of stuff) and I use a hollowbody Yamaha AES1500b and a fender deluxe. I'm pretty happy with my tone, I usually play on the 'distortion' channel, but with just very little grit in the sound...

    Drum fundamental pitch question.

    Hi, I've been getting into drums and own a pretty nice starclassic birch setup that's probably 1000 times better then I'll ever need. I'm finding that tuning the drums isn't a very intuitive process. Is this correct; each drum has a fundamental pitch (so I've read) so the different tones...

    Multi-channel preamp

    Hi, I've got $5000 CAD and I'm looking at buying some multi-channel preamps. I don't want to spend all of it but I'd ideally like to get at least 16 channels for around this amount. I don't need any eq, compression, a/d, pad, inserts - I'm just using this purely for the front end of my...

    Onyx 24.4

    Hey guys, I'm pretty interested in getting this board to do live event recording, maybe even the 32 channel model. I like the idea of being able to use DB25 connectors for easy patching. Can anyone comment on how they sound? How are the old 24 X 8's for sonic quality? Thanks, Andy.

    Looking to buy TFPro 16x or similar.

    Hi, My name is Andy Kolbeck. I'm really looking to buy a Ted Fletcher TFPro 16x. I'd entertain offers of other multi-channel preamps (that have at least 12-16 preamps). I'm from Toronto. I would buy it new, but no one sells them up here it seems. I'd really appreciate an honest and...

    Gretsch Catalina Club Kit

    Hello, I'm not a drummer but I'm looking for an opinion on this kit. Specifically, I want to get something that sounds very 'The Band' or Neil Young, vintage and lots of 'wood' sound. Is there any alternatives? I really like the look of this kit, not that it matters what the damn thing looks...

    Help with mixdown to stereo.

    Hello, After recording a couple of cassettes worth of material on my portastudio MKIII and fooling around with mixing down to 2 track on my stereo by running the "lines out" to it, I've come to BEG of you to tell me whats a cheap (and not involving a computer!!!!!) way of doing it that sounds...

    Studio layout.

    Hello, first time poster here. I just bought a second hand Tascam 424 mkIII for pretty cheap and have monkeyed around with it a bit. I've recorded bass parts for other people using digital recording gear that was all setup by an engineer, but basically come here soaking wet behind the ears...
