    A very ‘exotic’ solution to a problem that’s easily solved by installing a lower output pickup.

    review the most recent cheap guitar pedal you bought

    I haven’t bought one, but a buddy of mine got one and I tried it. Glary noise gate. One knob and a switch. 25 bucks via Amazon. Best noisegate I’ve ever used at any price.

    Lava Lamp?

    At the risk of being a bad guy……Here it comes. You’re wasting your time with fiddling with tone knobs and mic placement. No amount of ‘eq fixes’ will fix the lack of confidence that comes through in your recordings. You need to work on your playing. There have been plenty of of suggestions...

    My Fostex A8 runs for a little while and then it stops being able to record and dont know why?

    I don’t think the new tape would be sticky. You have a clean tape path? Here’s a wild guess but who knows….. Might need new belts? As the belts heat up they start slipping. After it cools down they work for a bit until they heat up again. Belts do stretch out and heat has an effect on them...
