2 gb compactflash... <$9! Pretty sure I payed in the neighborhood of $120 for a 512 mb cf card for my MR8. What a difference a few years make....

Long time...how's it hangin' HR doods? Is it safe to use CRC QD Electronics Cleaner (Hexane, Petroleum Distillate...) on/around the circuit board of my amp? Last I changed the tubes, I used the "tuner cleaner" from Radio Shack, which contains some type of lubricant. It's left behind a kinda...

I've had my Mesa Solo 50 head (v.2) mothballed for a while, but let 'er off the chain this week. I plugged in my Schecter C7 (w/Seymour Duncan JB ...I think) and it sounded like complete butt. I then plugged in the ol Ibanez w/ Dimarzio evolution PU and it sounded MUCH...

Phantom power is defined as 48 volts...right? So, why does my Mackie 808m supply only 15 volts? ![/I] Hell...they mention the 15V phantom like it's some FEATURE here...

So I bust open this little marshall cab that's been sitting in a corner for 10 years and discover it has a celestion G10D-25 (16 ohms/25 watt?:confused:) in it. I have a little shitty 15 watt Crate amp that the speaker sounds like complete ass (imagine that) @ 4 ohms (so I assume the Crate...

I'm thinking about getting an Avatar 4x12 that has four Vintage 30s at 240 watts. Primarily I would be using my Mesa single rectumfrier (50 watts) through it, but I'd also occasionally plug in my Crate 120 watt amp as well... It's not too much cab for a 50 watt tube amp, is it? :confused:

Not really....it's just too quiet in here!

I'm poor and I need more volume! I have an Ampeg combo gutted (it's fried), and I am (hopefully) going to use it as an "extension" cab for a Crate, but I am going to disconnect the two speakers in the Crate (blown), and instead plug in the celestion currently in the gutted Ampeg. The Celestion...

I have an ancient peavey 4x12 cab I'm hoping to be able to use. I say "hoping" because last night at practice (first practice with this "project") it sounded like putrified pig pussy, and I'm fearing a blown speaker. I'm heading over to scout it out in a minute, but was wondering what you guys...

Not sure if anyone remembers my previous thread; https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=261771 As previously posted, I have plenty of 2x4's, which I am going to use between my basement "ceiling"/floor joists, and the drywall which I am going to secure to it. (floor...

Nordic? New? Northern? Negative? Nectanabus?

C'mon y'all...chime in with your cheap brethren here... Holla werdz and let a brutha feel the N-love!

Is this thing a hunk of shit, or might it actually be of use? Can't find anything identical on ebay. No, I have not even powered it up yet, but it's been loaned to me to see if it might be of use w/guitar/vocals or whatever....

I need to isolate a portion of my basement to the best of my abilities. I currently have a bunch of 2x4's to work with, some paneling, some drywall, couple rolls of insulation,etc... put insulation rolls up between 14 inch gaps on ceiling run 2x4's perpendicular to existing floor supports...

How easy would it be to blow a speaker running my 50 watt Shingle Rectumfrier head into an Avatar 2x12 w/V30's? Never really considered it as I've always had both 2x12's available....:confused: If I push more than the 60 watts per speaker, I risk damage...right? How can I safely guesstimate...
