for some reason it always outputs to only one side of the headphones (right or left), never both. i've tried multiple pairs of headphones. any ideas? when i run the main outs of the 4track into my stereo receiver and plug the headphones into the reciever the sound comes on on both sides...

Thanks for all the suggestions and inputs guys. By the way, since I didn't make it clear and some of you answered with different context... I'm not new to guitar. I've been playing for about 4 years, and while I'm not great, i'm decent. I have experience playing live and this guitar most...

Yeah, i forgot to put jackson in the first post. I'll check the others though. Thanks.

I'm looking to buy a new guitar relatively soon. I've got some ideas in mind but I'm posting this up for any extra recommendations. I'm looking to spend somewhere around $400-600 for a guitar to primarily be used for hardcore/metal (and no, that does not refer to slipknot, korn, etc)...

I hadn't thought about the live/recording thing. For reference, I plan to use this guitar setup for both. One interesting thing is... I'm really happy with the tone of my guitar, distorted and clean, when the amp's volume is really low. However, I can't even tell if I like the tone at louder...

My epiphone lp std has really bad pickups (surprised? you shouldn't be). Although a lot of people hate the guitar, aside from the tuners and the pickups... I like it. I've got some money to put into it, so I'm planning on upgrading the tuners and the bridge pickup (I rarely use the neck...

ripping off people on ebay isn't really cool... but you should try to get decent cash for it if it works..

i'd recommend checking into some local DIY booking "agencies" (usually 1 or 2 people throwing shows in their spare time) because, although they may be small, they could probably help by either booking the tour themselves, or, by hooking you up with some contact numbers

anyone got a clue on a pickup that won't go microphonic... need new ones for my les paul cause with the preamp and master volume on 2 on my amp, i get crazy feedback..

sorry for posting this... but i can't find this info anywhere... how much does a new peavey 5150 (make I or II) go for? i've seen them (i don't know whether I or II) go for $350-$550 on ebay used depending on condition and stuff.. but i have no clue as far as new ones... thanks.

What about the Line 6 Flextone HD ($800 @ samash.com) & Flextone II ($1000 at Musicians Friend). At 300 watts and an incredible amount of channels (4 on board... 36 apparently with the foot controller thing), it's more than I really need. However, the extra power and channels don't seem to be a...

I posted basically the same message hear a few months ago, about what guitar head I should get... now there are some more/new people here, i'm closer to purchasing, and I narrowed it down (slightly). The deal is I play in a metal/hardcore band and am looking for a new head. I have a 50 watt...

I have an epi les paul standard... and for the most part I like it. As was said before, the pickups and the tuners are the worst parts of the guitar, and hopefully I'll be replacing those soon. Honestly, the epi's are clearly not as good guitars as gibsons (in most case scenarios... i'm sure...

how would I figure out if it's pickup feedback? I gave my best shot at checking.. plugged in through the distortion pedal at relatively high gain (what i use for normal playing), my marshall jcm 800 head volume around 4 (i usually don't go higher than that unless i'm playing out) and preamp...

I've got an effect pedal that I am really happy with, sound wise. But, it's output level, even with the level control cranked, is much lower than the level when it's off... I really don't want to stop using the pedal, but it's a pain in the ass to try to use the volume knob on the guitar to...
