........MD421 brand new for $180 (oh yeah), I can also get a brand new e609 for $45, but my question is, if I have the 421, will I even need a 609? I'm planning on using the MD421 along with my SM57 for my Marshall cabs. How well will the e609 compliment the MD421 or SM57 or as a stand alone mic?

Hey guys- I've had my QV since 93', and recently the LCD display has started to show a bunch of random wildcard fonts when I turn it on. All the effects and patch changes seem to still be in tact, it's just the display. Does the Quad have a battery back up inside the chassis that needs to be...

I came across this recently, and honestly IMO this thing is VERY impressive. If your familiar with TC G-Force, Eventide Eclipse, this thing should interest you. Cost wise it's competetive with the big boys, as is the quality. It can be used as a dedicated effects unit, or also as a guitar...

Has anyone here played thru a VooDoo modded JMP-1. I've been gassing for a new/better tone lately, but don't really want to dish out big bucks for another guitar preamp. I've read a lot of good reviews about this particular mod and it seems to be killer. I'm just wondering if the difference in...

I've been looking to get a pair of nearfields and after comparing 5 different monitors, seems like these were the best. Do any of you guys use the HS80M monitors? If so, how true are they?, Do they enhance bass,mid,hi's more than they should?

I've been reading a little bit about this little device (REAMP) and it seems to be a pretty cool peice of gear. I like the bit about how you can record at low volumes and then come back later and pump it up. So I was wondering if any of you have ever used this, and does it really work the way...

Digitech MEQ Dual 14 EQ? Apparently there is a mod that can be done on it to make it function more like the Rockatron PGE-2. Basically making it a more guitar friendly EQ. I just don't know if it would be worth $250 to mod it. http://www.perfectsoundrockrefurbs.com/products.html Here is a...

Hey guys- I am looking to replace my quadraverb with a more up to date effects processor. I have been trying to decide between the G-major and the MPX-1. I have heard the the G-major has reliability issues with locking up and not accepting commands and such, and I have also heard that the MPX-1...

I plan on re-tubing my Mesa amp,(strategy 500). Question is, are Eurotubes significantly better than the stock Mesa tubes? The reason why I ask is, if I buy replacement tubes form Mesa, I can get them half price (about $150.00). vs $300.00+ for the Eurotubes (JJ's to be exact). I don't have a...

Is there a optimal size that works best when using isolation boxes. I realize that the box needs to fit around the speaker and have room for the mic (obviously), but, is it better to have as much volume (space) as possible within the box or is it better to keep it small?

Has anyone here tried using the hot plate for recording guitars. And if so, will a compressor do the same thing. I'm not sure if it is the same concept, but with a compressor I can turn up all my gains as much as I want and set my compressor to limit the output volume. I never used one, so I dunno.

For those you you who have see the movie..... video......whatever, does anyone recognize the vocal mic's Gilmour and Waters use throughout the movie? The mic that I am referring to is sort of rectangular and has a gold colored grill on it. :rolleyes:

Has anyone tried this mixer? I am looking for a small compact mixer so that I can use hardware compressors and effect processors for processing incoming signals from my vocal mic's, so good pre's are a plus. From what I have researched, I have not found a way to use outboard gear with a...

Does anyone out there use Klipsch speakers for mixing? I hear people say that good hi-fi speakers are just as good to mix on as true "studio" monitors. Is this true? I was considering getting a pair of Klipsch speakers for that reason, that way I can also use them for just listening to music...

I want to record a Marshall guitar cab with heavy distorted guitars, and I am thinking about buying one of these mic's. shure SM57 or Sennheiser MD421. I hear that the 57 has more mid range and the 421 has more low end. Does any of this ring true? I would like to get a mic that captures the cabs...

I just wanted to get some opinions on the AT2020 and AT2021 condensor mic's. Compared to other mics in this price range ($150-$180 for both) how do thay rate as far as sound quality and dependability. :)

I have recently started a home recording studio, and I want to use an external compressor on some of my projects. I have a 3630 that I have been using in a guitar rig for ages. I know they are not regaurded as "the compressor to have" but since it is the only one that I have ever used, I don't...
