I'm told it's a good idea, if storing the guitar in it's case, to lay it on it's back/front or stand it straight up. Laying it on it's side could cause unneccessary stress on the neck.

I just picked up a Carl Martin Red Repeat - i love it. The right price (~$110) and sounds great.

One easy solution (albeit more $) is to buy a preamp... I did so, and it definitely helps!

I used to have a DC-2 and I really liked it - but I ended up selling it because 1) I wasn't in love with the clean tones - just wasn't what I was looking for (happier with my Hot Rod Deluxe). I also didn't love the dirty channel - and given that's where a mesa ought to shine, the DC-2 just...

Thanks :) This is perfect!

I've been hunting for desk ideas...(https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=189445) and hence was wondering - is there a photo gallery on the forum (or elsewhere) where I can look through pictures of people's studio's? I sure would help me get an idea of what others are using for desks...

I'm hunting a studio desk (about ~40" wide) that will allow me to put my computer monitor, small mixer, (2) monitors, and other small accessorys on it (i..e no piano keyboard or rack stuff needed - it's off to the side). The trick is that I'd prefer NOT to have a shelf so commonly seen (and...

if $ is of concern (even $20), buy the $3.99 surface mount then screw it onto a piece of wood (or nearly anything) - then at least you have some control over direction and the mic is off the ground... http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2131024

Hey - I'm the "guy" complaining about the same setup. I have an MD421 and SM57 with a firebox. I haven't looked closely since a few days ago (been traveling for work), but I believe I have to set my pre at over 80% with the SM57 pointed at my hot rod deluxe - which is playing at a comfortable...

I'm looking for a table (or perhaps a desk) to set perpedicular to my actual studio desk. My biggest constraint is that is CANNOT be longer than 44" (due to wall&bed). I would prefer it to be ~25" high and 20" deep. So many things are 48" long, which has made it tough. Short of making...

Sorry - what's a gobo?

Check out vht amps - I have the Pittbull 45 combo - it's a stellar amp for a hard rock sound!

Look at the Hot Rod Deluxe. Has some great tones and a really pure tube clean channel - hence you'll be able run some great effects through it if you like. It's a great price, portable, plenty loud, etc. I've owned Mesa's, VHT's, etc - and I really love the hot rod deluxe.

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences regarding this? Am I posting under the wrong forum section?

Check out http://www.robertkeeley.com/ I have his modded Boss distortion (DS-1). Pretty sick...
