I often play without a bass player (sometimes in a drums&guitar duo and other times solo) and when I do, I tend to think my AC30 lacks bass. So I've been thinking about combining it with a bass amplifier (EQed so that only the lowest frequencies come through). I'd do this by splitting the signal...

I guess it is fair to say that I'm obsessed with guitar pedals. Whenever I am into ambient and psychedelic music (like I am nowadays), effects become almost as important as the guitar. So I am really curious as to what pedals you guys are using. I'll start with mine: I am one of those...

So the day has finally come. A Fender Jazzmaster USA vintage reissue! Drove a couple of hours to try this guitar, and it was love at first strum. It is so comfortable and good sounding that it is absurd! Has been modified with 6105 frets, standard pickups and mastery bridge. Finally no more...

So I've got my eye on a used Fender Jazzmaster USA '62 reissue. It has been modified with standard pickups, mastery bridge, 6105 frets and some switches are disconnected (I guess for shorter circuitry). Now, this guitar will rid me of most of my money but if it is really good I don't really care...

So I've got this Vox AC30C2x (the one with alnico blues) and I'm extremely happy with it. It rocks! Now, I have never played through a vintage AC30 or any other type of AC30s for that matter. Vox (like many others) have moved their production to China, and this sometimes bothers me a little...

My cousin and I had a recording session tonight, and I would appreciate any opinions and/or advice. It is an acoustic cover of an Alexi Murdoch-song called "Breathe". https://soundcloud.com/fifthdragon/breathe-30-07-13

Hey guys, long time since I posted anything here. I just realised I have two pedals with MIDI possibilities (which I never really thought about before) and a third one on the way in the mail. Two of them have MIDI I/O and one of them have only MIDI in. Those three pedals are: T-Rex Spindoctor...

So a friend and I filmed ourselves recording the song "War/No More Trouble" by Bob Marley yesterday. I notice there are some clipping going on and my little studio is not treated, but I would appreciate if anyone took the time to watch it. For what it's worth. :)

So I was listening to The Black Keys album "Magic Potion" and thought to myself "man, that is truly the best sound I've ever heard recorded". So I went along to check out how they got their sound primarily wondering what amps they use. I found this: "We like the sound of odd rooms. It's got...

I've got a Boss RC-30 and being dual track it is a great little unit for the job. The one thing that bothers me about it is that the two tracks have to be within the same length, so if you record a 4 beat pattern there is no way to create a longer, say 16 beat pattern on the other track. It does...

So the monitors have arrived in all their glory! After a hard days work I rearranged everything, and connected the monitors and I was so excited. Here it is, doesn't look too bad! I was ready for a virgin listen to the speakers and....... THEY DON'T FUCKING WORK! There were some treble from...

So I finally got to my senses and ordered a pair of nearfield monitors and I decided to rearrange my modest setup in order to place them in the center along the shortest wall in the room. Here is the setup thus far: Now, I realised I have this glass table in the livingroom I never use as I'm...

Does audio equipment like compressors, preamps, interfaces etc draw much power? I currently have a powerstrip with 6 plugged in outlets (preamp, compressor, guitar preamp, a fuel station powering my 3 pedals, computer, computer screen) plugged into one wall outlet. Then one strip with 5 outlets...

I'm considering picking up an Orange dual terror and a 1x12 cab for recording. I'm looking for a compromise between that dirty Black Keys like their album "The Big Comeup" (they used an old Ampeg Gemini amp there) and general stonerblues rock sound. Any experience with Orange? I used to have a...

Amazing studios you guys have. Very inspiring to say the least. Mine is not quite there yet:

I didn't snap pictures of the surgery, and I am not opening that thing again (I wasn't the one repairing it) :D The wires were soldered and the loose part was hammered into place somehow with a spike or something. But here it is in all it's glory, works like a charm:

Sure. I didn't get around to record with it yet, but here's the stand: And here's my djembe attached to it. There is more than enough room for the Beta 52a under there.

Now THAT is an idea (for a person with enough money and room)! :laughings:

So I need a stand to record my djembe, but seeing as they are ridiculously expensive, I decided to make one myself. I've got a couple of mic stands that I don't use anymore, and I was thinking this would be a good start. Maybe remove some stuff from it and add something to hang my medium-sized...

First of all, thanks for your help folks. The microphone is used (but new to me) and I do think I might have abused it a slight bit so I'm not sure about the warranty.. I guess I twisted it in the wrong place as I was hesitant to turn the microphone. That made it disassemble and I started...
