    The time is drawing near and I need to firm up my assumptions

    First off, the internet is amok with "soundproofing" this and that and I trust the folks here more than I do some random site on the internet. With that said, I've been browsing the old threads in the studio building area here and I've come to some assumptions that I would like confirmation on...

    Gibson acoustic guitars, anyone have any preference or insight?

    Guitar Center is not my favorite place to go to look for stuff but it's close to campus and I can stop in on the way home without going too far out of the way and wasting too much time. Tonight I saw a used Gibson hummingbird in the acoustic room so I figured I'd give it a try to see if it was...

    Free plugins (PC and Mac) on Reverb...

    Not sure if this is new to anyone or not but I thought it might help. I haven't had a chance to use any of them, just passing along a link to the freebies that I just saw tonight for anyone in the market but not wanting to spend any $$. :) You can find all 70-80 of them right here.

    Music room above garage, need opinions...

    After living out of a bedroom at the in-laws for almost a year with most of my gear in storage, the wife and I are finally about to get the building of our new house going. Got the plans and financing is secured, now it's just dependent upon the weather as to how long it's going to take. Very...

    Post your latest purchase!

    A Dr.Z Stang Ray 30w head and matching 2x12 cab is now part of my stable. The cabinet is loaded with Weber speakers, an Alnico silver and an Alnico blue, and it's got the Z-brake attenuator built in. Unfortunately, living at the in-laws until our house is complete means this puppy stays at the...

    New amp day...helluva deal

    Been in limbo for a while now since all my stuff, with the exception of one electric and one acoustic are in storage in one form or another but I still frequent my local tiny little music shop on a weekly basis. Today I just happened to walk in right after a guy traded in 2 vox ac-15 amps - 1...

    Downsizing and crossing platforms, got a few questions...

    Due to an upcoming move, this Friday to be exact, I'm being forced to downsize my recording setup. It's not permanent but it could be for upwards of a year, possibly more - hopefully not more than 10 months but it depends on how long it is before the builder can start, which also depends on how...

    General chat thread

    If anyone cares, that pork shoulder came out amazing. :) Before cooking, it sat in the fridge covered with a healthy dose of dry rub (held in place with a thin coating of yellow mustard) all tightly wrapped in foil for 48 hours. Cooked for 6 hours unwrapped at around 265 F, mopped with apple...

    Fender Hotrod Deluxe owners...quick question

    I've had one for quite a few months now but haven't really messed with it over my other amps. Played it when I brought it home for a few days and then it has just sat. My question is in regards to the volume of this thing. I guess I didn't remember it being so loud, which is fine for me...

    switch issue? this is a new one for me...

    Wow, thanks. I thought I had a clear understanding of these 3p2t switches but I guess not. FWIW, all of my continuity checks were done from the tip of the plug in the input jack since that goes directly to the switch. Not sure if that helps it make any more sense though... Edit - just...

    switch issue? this is a new one for me...

    I'm still more or less a rookie when it comes to electronics; learned my fair share about the components but ran into a potential weird issue with a switch last night. Finished a WayHuge Red Llama OD clone, had to get it just because of the name, and it was an easy build. Very easy. 9...

    Best day ever...new guitar coming!

    Well, this bad boy right here: Will be here Wednesday. I'm stoked beyond belief but I'm gonna have to thin back the herd a little more to make room. It will be strat #5 in my collection but also my #1 go-to; a month at most before that neck is my second home. My other American strat, this...

    Best day ever...new guitar coming!

    My very first guitar was a '96 Fender Lonestar Strat; I bought it from GC when I was 14 with money from mowing lawns for a while. It cost $749 and I got a crappy crate practice amp with it to learn on. Figured that if I had spent that much money then I'd have more of an incentive to actually...

    FS Neve Portico 5017

    Barely used Neve Portico 5017 single channel preamp/DI with compressor. $950 firm, free shipping to continental US via USPS. I'm the original owner, bought it new about a year ago, and just don't have the time to sit down and use it like it should be used. It has been safely plugged into an...

    RF interference - in the pedal or in the guitar?

    I just finished my latest pedal build, good old number seven, and I've noticed something that I haven't ever heard before. Clear RF interference. BUT it's only when the tone knob on my beater basement guitar is turned to 0. Said basement guitar is an Epi LP Special II that I modified with all...

    Marshall 2555 amp thoughts?

    I have just been offered dibs on a Marshall 2555 amp head; not a reissue but the original from the 80's. Fully functional and well taken care of for $950. Same shop has a JCM800 from the same owner for $1899 but that's a little more than I care to spend at the moment. Has anyone ever used...
