Thanks KoP - I'm trawling ebay now! There seems to be quite a few Epiphone pickups - 'Alnico' - which are up for sale. Are these worth looking at or will they be comparable to your standard 'stock' pickup found on a cheapish les paul copy. There's also a DiMarzio 'Steve's Special' coming up...

Thanks for the tip off on the pickups Zaphod - just had a little read about them and they sound right up my alley. Warm, subtle and full so says the add I just read, spot on. With regards to your point about placing of different types of effects - I'm guessing any stomp box should ideally be...

I like your thinking...in for a penny, in for a pound as they say over here! Ok - style of playing would be mainly the funkier side of things - mostly rhythm - and a little jazz and little rock. When I say rock I'm not talking thrash metal though! More sixties/70's British rock if that makes...

Chaps, Nice one. Both your replies makes perfect sense. What I'm hearing is, in fact, there's no rules except for what sounds good sounds good, right?! My main reason for asking was through the fear of maybe blowing something up by plugging preamps into preamps into pedals into combos! I...

Hello All, First up, I reckon that this will sound like a dumb question to everyone for which I apologise in advance. My mitigating circumstances are that I'm a drummer. We bang things and they make a noise. So...I have also been playing the guitar on the side for a few years but it's only...

Krispy - can I ask...what do you need the usb connection for on the mixer? I think you may get slightly better results using an audiophile 24/96 sound card and a cheaper (but better) mixer. The mixer would connected to the main inputs on the sound card using phono leads. I've never used a...

Hi there Krispy - from another UK Krispy! Just skimmed through the posts so hope I'm not missing anything. One UK store to try is digital village (www.dv247.com). Very good prices and stock and they seem to know what they're talking about. I just picked up a studio projects B1 condenser from...

Well, it doesn't crackle when checking any of the pre fade signals, even the signal through the crackly channel. I think I may have found a way around it all now which avoids the need for me taking a screwdriver to the folio. I found ebay! In the last week I've managed to procure a small...

No Dobro, I run a separate outboard amp that would monitor everything that's going on inside the PC. The amp plugs straight into the Delta. I think I can get away with it. I'm a one man band these days and certainly not a pro studio recording whole bands so 2 good quality pre's is about all I...

By the way Dinty - your man, Mike Lundy, is a dead ringer for Alan Pardew. That won't mean much to either of you but it will to anyone over here where football is still played with your feet!

Hello all, Dobro - I've only ever heard good things about soundcraft - particularly down at our end of the market (I would have got a compact 4 if I could have found one). Perhaps we are just a couple of exceptions. Here's the deal with my Folio (and my set up in general). I've been slowly...

So, if taking it to a pro audio repairer to replace the op amp is not an option, are there any other options other than binning the thing???

Easy to fix? What about ripping it out? Will that bugger the whole board up or just that channel?

Thanks Dinty. I've been performing that maneuver minus the spray for a while with no effect. I picked the mixer up second hand recently and the guy I bought it from gave it a good spray when I went to collect it. What I don't understand is how the crackling through the main channel remains...

no, not on each channel. Just an aux 1 and aux 2 if that makes sense? http://www.thaisecondhand.com/view/productpic/09/06/p7560231n1.jpg
