    'Trower' sound - how do you get it?

    As I type this I'm listening to the King Biscuit Flour Hour Robin Trower live cd - and drooling. Ok, I got a strat, a cry baby and a bunch of flanger and amp modelling effects from a stomp box, and tweak as I might, I can't get close to that beautiful,warm,crunchy,dreamy tone. Any ideas...

    Old guy thinks 'modern rock not crap' shock!

    This is really just a pick-up from the overrated guitarists and songwriting threads in other forums, so feel free to ignore. I am 39 years old and grew up listening to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Robin Trower,Thin Lizzy,Wishbone Ash,Lynryd Skynryd etc. From that list you can tell that I played...

    Non Drummer needs help

    I am a guitar player/singer, and I use a Zoom PS02 for storing ideas and parts of songs. My problem is that I can't get to grips with the built in drum/bass patterns so that I can actually lay down a whole song. It's a question of understanding 'measures'. I assume that these are the same as...

    What comes first - music or lyrics?

    Although I write songs, I don't consider myself to be a 'songwriter' - heres why: I always start by getting an idea when fiddling around on guitar, either a riff or chord sequence, and then I build the whole musical structure around that idea. This includes the intro and ending, plus any...

    PS 02 Palmtop Studio

    Is anybody using this device apart from me? I think this is one of the best designed entry level pieces of recording gear I have ever seen. The learning curve is about one hour to get a basic drums, bass,guitar and vocal recording, and maybe a couple of hours to get to grips with the...

    Dumb Question about Amp Modelling boxes

    Dont laugh, but I don't understand where the Output comes from when you plug into a POD,YAmaha DG Stomp etc. Is it right that you plug your guitar straight into one of these things and you can actually hear the modelled sound through headphones without going through an external speaker system...

    More and more toys to play with - but who knows what they do?

    I had a flip through a couple of guitar mags at my local newsagents and I see wall to wall advertisements for POD,AX(add a number)amp modellers, Yamaha QY 100 and Boss JS-5 Jamstation (what ever they are, it's not explicit as to exactly what you can do with these things)plus the Tascam, Boss...

    Using Pod and a portable studio

    I don't want to go through the hassle of using computer software for recording my (fairly primitive)songs, and I was wondering whether I could just have a simple setup running a Guitar/Bass through POD and straight into something like a Korg D8 where I can keep everything on a single removable...

    Easiest Portable System for novices?

    I have been a guitar player and songwriter for twenty years, just for my own amusement. Now I want to get into home recording, but I want a system that doesn't overwhelm me with options I don't need, just something I can put vocal,guitar and bass tracks on through a pod pro, over a basic drum...
