    How to achieve sufficient gain without excess hiss

    Great! I should start by clarifying my chain. I do not recall tossing any electrical parts from the 58 - it was in pieces when I got it. Here is a picture - there are only two wires headed to the 1/4" jack. From there I am using the ammoon 5.8GHz wireless guitar system. ammoon 5.8G Wireless...

    How to achieve sufficient gain without excess hiss

    It has been many moons since I posted here, happy to see this forum still around~! Be forwarned, this post is about accordion micing in live situations. I have tried a few different setups now, and still can't find a 'thing' that works. I play in a very loud folk punk outfit and am having...

    guitar head + bass speakers

    Got a smokin deal on a set of GK 410's, just wondering about running my guitar amp through them. It is a Sovtek Mig 50 (50 watt with 4,8&16 ohm outputs - I also have a weber mass 150 I typically use so I can work with less than full volume), and the Gallien Krueger is rated at 8 ohms and 800...

    The Perfect 10

    Having recently purchased a Perfect 10, it came with standard E tuning. Does anybody have any experience with dropping these things down to say...standard C tuning?

    from russia with LOUD

    I recently aquired myself a russian Mig50 with matching 2/12 cab, and it sounds like what I needed it for, a relatively inexpensive noisebox for my guitar and pedals to be throughput. However, it is actually too loud...I use both inputs with a mono splitter so I get the highs from input 1 and...

    Tempo Machine

    So at band practice the other night I went off, declaring the need for a tempo machine. Needless to say my friend and drummer is no longer returning my calls. Is there any reconcilliation? :D /idiot.

    help me decide

    I'm looking at two cheapo powered mixers, used, and am torn to pieces trying to decide which to get; Also I have no valuable knowledge as to what it all means (in the mixing monitoring world). A) Peavey MP-4 B) Crate PA-4 (50$ less) I believe they are both rated at 60 Watts 4 ohms...

    Burnt out RAM?

    I right click on My Computer, then select Properties. At the bottom of the list it says; AMD AthlonXP 1800+ 1.54 GHz 256 Mb RAM When I put this thing together last Feb, I had installed 512 of RAM, (two 256 sticks) so is one of these sticks burnt out? If not then Whut the Hell? :confused:

    Here might be a stupid question but...

    ...I don't really care :p. I have a fairly cheap kit, and the beater skins are worn out. I can't afford new ones at this point, so can I just switch the beater and resonants'???

    J-station guitar tones for bass?

    Is this something I should not do? I just found some of the amp models for the guitaar to sound kinda neat on bass. I guess I wanna know ahead of time if this is going to sound like total ass in the end, and so should I be sticking with the bass amps?

    Buzzing sound goes away with a good hard Smack!!!

    I'm running my J-station into my Behringer amp via the AUX ins, and now lately there has been some buzzing coming out of the amp itself :D. OK possibly I am a complete moron for having done this, but it seemed like a lot better idea than running straight into the input. The amp is a GX112, w/...

    clued out

    In my neverending quest for electronic drums, I have decided to try and work out some through the use of MIDI. I am really new to the world of MIDI first off. Specifically, what I want to do is to program a beat into my boss dr 600, run it into cubase sx via my soundblaster midi port...

    Fell into this forum overnight...

    ...and I have a real genuine question :D. I am just starting into the world of midi, and normally I use n-track, but it basically freaks out whenever I try to mess with midi. So I am now using cubase SX. However, when I try to make a new '16 track midi sequencer', I get an error saying...
