So, after blowing up two Spider head because noone told me how to connect them, I now have that solved and the stupid Express pedal that controls the head just got sent out for repair because it shit the bed after about 10 hours of use. Seriously - if you could have just said they suck and sent...

Here it is - my favorite color. Green. I love green. Does anyone else love green? I do. If you don't, you're just not as cool as me. If you do, you're almost but not quite as cool as me. (This thread is in response to the question about rep points being discussed in "guitars and basses".)

Hey - should I be plugging my amp into a power conditioner, or will a monster power strip be just fine? Reason I ask is that the jam space is in the basement of a house built in the 1800's and the outlets down there may not be the best.... Hurrry if you have an idea - first one to answer gets a...

My Les Paul is a better guitar than any of yours. It sounds better and is easier to play, and it looks better, too. All of your guitars are crap, and mine is the best.

So, two weeks ago, I bought a Line 6 Spider III 150 watt stereo head, and the 4x12 Custom Celestion Cab to go with it. It worked for a week, survived two band practices, and then I brought it home and heard crackling noises thru it with my headphones. I thought it was the phones, but it wasn't...

Hmmm. Let's try this one out. Musicians, let us know more about you! :cool: List off what you've got and why. Throw in some of your influences too. I just got a Line 6 150-watt half stack, with the floor pedal controller thing. My main squeeze is a 2002 Gibson Les Paul Standard with a big fat...

Hey there all you microphone/recording wizards... I have no clue about most recording techiniques, if any, although I did just read that page about microphones and I try to read stuff here and learn - I play guitar and try make it sound good. That's about it. Our band plays heavy rock and...

I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe that I've been playing thru 2-4hrs/night, 2x/week, for about four years. I haven't done anything to it, and until recently I have been getting a great sound out of it. I am wondering about putting in an Eminence 12" speaker (called the Blue Tick Hound) supposedly...

Boss GT8, bought in August for $445, never gigged, used less than 6hrs/wk, with power and manual, will reset to factory before shipping. This thing does it all, can be programmed to take you to work and does your chores, too! Seriously, for someone that has time to tweak it, this thing is Boss's...

Hey all you out there! Anyone like to share their opinion of Carvin? Just curious - I just got a mid-80's CM140, in trade for my Mexi Thinline Tele - it is sweet. Anyone else ever played one?

I have had enough of my Fender Hot Rod. It rattles and the input plug is loose. I want to be a Rock God, and none of them play Hot Rods. I want a half stack. I want one that has tubes. Any good recommendations under a grand? Used vs. new? Speaker brands? Gimme the lowdown, please, all you...

Sound off with your opinions of Martin acoustics vs. Taylors. I have played many Martins. I try them whenever I get the chance, because I want to see if all that mystique and glory is ever going to be true, and I am let down every time. New ones, old ones, they are all the same to me so far...

Here's a situation I was looking for some opinions on - I currently run from a Boss GT8 into both a Fender Hot rod Deluxe and a vintage Fender Bassman head/cab. My bassist has an Ampeg head/cab, and our other guitarist has a Crate half stack. My trouble is, although I like the effect of playing...

I have a Boss GT8, which I've stated in a few places around this site. It has so many bells and whistles I cannot find a use for half of them. On the other hand, it was $495 bucks. It gives me every damned effect out there, just in case I might ever want to use them, and does so many things that...

Just curious. Gotta new drummer and the old Fender Hot Rod Deluxe just can't cut thru. Going to try this Line 6 tonight. Anyone got any info about it, let me know? TANX

I use Elixir Nanoweb Custom mix sets, with 9's up to 46's. If you like your strings to last, try em. I can bend my 1st string all the way to heck, and I get good chunk on my first three strings. Oh - almost forgot - Fret Ease spray, before and after playing, keeps em sweet. Plus, if you...

Man this thing is a huge step up from the ME50. I've had mine for a few months and have no idea yet what it's capabilities are. It sounds good and has endless tweakability is all I care about. One thing I'm not sure of - what is tap delay? I have been trying to set up the delay to record a two...

I am a guitarist. I like to play and create my own music. I have been trying to find a simple step by step answer to this question - How can I make recordings of myself on the computer? I cannot stand how many terms and references people use to talk about recording. I just need to know what I...
