Thanks for the info What Q setting do you recommend while sweeping through the frequency? The Ultra-Q can go from ultra-steep (0.03 octave) to pretty wide (2 octaves).

Last week I bought a parametric (I hate graphic) EQ (Behringer Ultra-Q Pro, 5-band fully parametric, plus lo-cut and hi-cut) for my guitar system (which is composed of a Pod Pro and a *cough*Peavey*cough*solid-state*cough* power amp through a Mesa 4X12). I hooked it up and tried to do something...

I'm trying to decide between two guitars, the Schecter Diamond Series C1-Plus and the ESP LTD H300 (ok I admit it, it's actually the C7+ and the H307, I want a 7-strings :)). What they have in common: mahogany body, maple top with see-through finish, H-H configuration, non-trem bridge, similar...

I need a fast acting A/B switch to switch from one amp to the other, preferably passive (don't want to use batteries or power cord). What models should I look into? Something that won't affect my guitar signal in any way.

I tried a bunch of different amps, and there's no way around it, I need a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp! Nothing else has the sound I'm looking for Now I'm wondering if I should get the normal Dual Rectifier Solo Head, or a Dual Rectifier Trem-o-Verb long head. I can afford the $$$...

The wavedata folder was created by Cakewalk itself, and yes the name match. I tried using a different folder (created a new one in Cakewalk), I reformated the whole drive, and there's 2Gb free. It started after I tried recording 4 tracks at the same time with my Delta 44, my poor computer...

I can't stand it anymore. I'm trying to record my band's demo and Cakewalk keeps deleting the files in my Wavedata folder when I save a song. I reformated my hard drive, reinstalled Windows and everything, erased my .wrk files and started from scratch, used a different wavedata folder...

A good guitar helps too. My Godin LGX definitely has more sustain than my Yamaha Pacifica! (and the sound is 1439843909 times better too)

What do you guys think? for rapcore/alternative music [This message has been edited by DropD (edited 06-29-2000).]

Even miced, a combo won't sound the same as a 4X12, it's a question of the frequency response of the cab, open back vs close back etc. Unless the Combo has 4 12" speakers in them and is the same size as a full size cab., it won't sound the same.

I will always remember that Barrington Fox (never heard of the company after!), the pickups were so horrible it would make microphonic feedback even when I was on the clean channel! Funny thing is you couldn't make "real" guitar feedback with it.

Mackie HR824 are very impressive in the low-end departement. I saw a guy A/B them with other 8" monitors, and when he kicked in the Mackie it was a whole different world, you could FEEL the bass and the walls shaking, it sounded like there was a sub.

What are sub busses for? I'm asking that because I noticed the Allen & Heath MixWizard 16:0:2 console which cost the same price as a Mackie 1604, but gives me the superior quality and sound of a A&H, plus 2 effect processors, 2 sweepable mids, 6 aux busses, yada yada. The only thing lacking...

Hey Sonusman, are you sure a Mackie wouldn't be better? :D just kidding!

We're about to buy a complete PA system for our band and they're offering us a slightly used Allen & Heath 24-channels GL3 mixer, how good are those? Also, anyone know if the brand "Acoustic" makes good loud speakers? THey're offereing us 4 full range with 15" woofer, and 2 2X18" subs, all...
