Ha! I remember when Subaru had a car, the 360, that you couldn't give away. There were thousands imported, but they didn't sell. Consumer Reports gave them a "Not Acceptable" rating. It had a 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine and suicide doors. You didn't want to get hit in one. Zero to 50...

Just got around to listening to this one. The intro is strange with the kick causing heavy pumping of the synth. I didn't care for that at all. Was this an intentional choice? The song's good enough. I'm not quite as fond of the mix overall, which is unusual. I usually enjoy your songs.

No drums, just different, and more emulations.

I have a PODxt. I've used it for direct in guitar on a few songs, and it works great on the Bassman setting for ... you guessed it.... bass guitar! When I started jamming with my friends, and we go direct for guitars, I used it for a few months. It was a bit of a pain for a travelling...

I suspect if you are simply making a headbasket and body, without any internals, Neumann might have trouble bringing suit on trademark infringement anyway, since you're not really selling a microphone. Sell them to DIYers, who can then add a capsule and circuit board as they please. Make...

BTW, I just looked on Ebay UK, and there are a couple of B9 pedals in the £130 range. One was in Enfield, another in London.

Colin, I've got a B9 pedal. It can make some reasonably good organ sounds. The problem is trying to mimic a keyboard player's style. Playing guitar, I find that chords worked best if I was plucking several strings at once, vs the normal strumming motion. I also have to be careful to...

I think that's the case for a lot of us... music is a hobby, not our livelihood. In some respects, that's a good thing. We do it for fun, not because we have to do it to eat and pay the rent.

The other cable should have worked. Obviously something was buggered in that cable's wiring. A cheap VOM meter will tell you instantly what points are connected to what on the old cable.

The mixer has mic/Line/Inst inputs. They work fine, been doing it for years.

So what were you close to at 1:33 seconds? At 1 minute you were quiet, at 1:33 you had LOTS of noise. Something around there is putting out interference. That's a CLUE!!!

Dave, I don't know which model mixer Mike is using for what. He's got a old Tascam 488 and plus a 2nd newer mixer. He's got his drum set mic'd with 6 mics, plus 5 vocal mics and 3 guitar inputs available. I don't know which one the guitars feed. He's got a headphone distribution setup for...

Last week, our bassist was picking up a local AM radio station on his bass guitar. At first I thought it might have been my pedalboard (we are all going direct to a mixer), but when I hit my tuner, which cuts the signal off, nothing changed. I've been using my Joyo JW06, and have no issues...

The change has been around for several years. The mod is rolling off the top end, and different people suggest different values for the capacitor change. 680pF is the most common value, but I've seen people choose 870 or even 1000pF and it HAS TO BE a sytroflex cap. I think it might be...

Other than that they seem to have good shielding, I don't think they make a lot of claims about the cable sounding "better". Their shtick seems to be making cables that are rugged. I have both mic cables, TRS to XLR cables to feed my monitors, and a couple of headphone extensions. I...
