Good to know, thanks. Looks like it's time to make a trip to the tooob store.

Both power tubes glow blue...

Apparently the rectoverb doesn't have a rectifier tube. I'll call them up. Thanks guys.

Rectifier tube? "A bad rectifier will usually show itself in one of two ways. (1) power light comes on, but NO sound at all comes from the amp"... Scuze my ignance, but which one is the rectifier tube? There's the power tubes, pre amp tubes, and ?

I have a Mesa Rectoverb head. No sound from the cab but a slight weird tube hiss that also comes from the head - I can't tell which tube. I pulled them all, inspected and there was no obvious blown tube. Power tube? Pre amp tube? I probably need to replace them all anyway.

Thanks much guys! I think I'll just take it in to a tech. I suspect the weather here the last few weeks (average -25 C, 4 feet of snow in the backyard) isn't helping things. Cheers

I have a 1997 Gibson J30 acoustic. It's really dry here, consistently. From the 11th to 13th frets, all the strings choke out, barely sound or buzz. Can I fix this myself or should I just take it in for a set up?

That sucked my ass.

A Mac running OS X should see the Firepod when it's plugged in via firewire and turned on. Is the light on the Firepod blue or red?

You mean "the staff"?

Try the "import" function instead.

You sound like Courtney Love?

Ahhhh - listen "Patience". There's a note in the solo I believe that is WAY out of tune. I was shocked the engineer let that slide.

Randy Rhodes.

First off - you shouldn't mix with headphones. Secondly - turn it the fuck down - you are doing permanent damage brother.
