thanks for all you advice - very tricky! I think I need to go through and read a little deeper about all of these. It's quite difficult to explain the sound I am after except that I'd like it to be versatile and warm. Maybe the epiphone is a little too simple - I think I'd at least like some...

Hi I'm after a fairly small guitar amp that can be used for studio recording. Loudness - I won't be using it to play that loudly and if I do then I'd like to be able to play it through a PA anyway. Recording - I need a decent and quiet (no hum) output on it so that I can record on my home...

just to let people know - a friend of mind has a found a yahoo group dedicated to this. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/ZOOM_MRS-802/ and found a bit of software on there to convert these files.

Hi I bought a Zoom MRS802CD a few weeks back. I am trying to get the audio files out of the machine to mix with on the computer. It seems that this is only possible using the USB and extra software. The problem is that I don’t want to spend the £80 to buy this. I kind of thought you would be...

everything else works fine. I used to have a Korg electribe and that had no buzz even with my guitar plugged into it. My amp seems OK too.

I tried the radiator, but in my room at least there is nothing else. I am going to try one of the wrist bands later. Also, I emailed the people I bought it off and they said that it is unlikely that it is the Zoom and to try it in someone elses house. Going to try this later but if it works in...

oh yer forgot to mention something else - with the guitar cable plugged into the zoom and not my guitar there is a buzz but if I move the end of the cable that would be plugged in my guitar within one inch of the unit the buzz goes! strange!

What fun! Spent hours last night trying to get to the root of this with no joy. I moved the zoom downstairs, out of my room and plugged it into one socket with nothing else. No other electrical equipment near it. I bought a Behringer DI100 Active Direct Box and an XLR to XLR cable. As far as I...

Just read the review of the unit (http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--BEHDI100 ) and it says "Ground Lift switch isolates grounding circuit for hum elimination" What do you think?

wow - thanks for all the help! good to get a discussion going! It's definitely getting some kind of grounding thing going through me. The cable buzzes when it's not plugged in unless touched an on my acoustic the hum stops if I touch the input. (the bug inside is just connected to wood and not...

No big power cables near me. I could try getting what has been suggested but I would like to try it first. Someone else also recommended some kind of wristband that gets attached to the bridge of the guitar. Not sure about that though. Any help on this is much appreciated Thanks

Do you think one of these would fix it? http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--BEHDI100

Hi I very recently bought a Zoom MRS802cd. I am having some humming noise problems with it. Basically I plug my electric guitar in (with a brand new decent £25 thick guitar cable), turn the input and recording levels up to the required point and there is a humming sound. This is cut down to...

Hi I have seen the BOSS for £279. I would need to get a 1gb compact flash storage (around £45) and an AC adaptor about (£15) so around £340 I have also seen the Zoom for £329. I already have a computer so I don’t really need a CD burner, however, the Zoom does not come with a USB port. If it...
