gulp - OK - here it is:
I *think* this was done in 1987 - might have been late 1986 or early 1988.
I'm too kind hearted to put you guys through the version that has the complete vocals. Also, the song and the vocals were written by a guitar player who replaced me in the band and whom I later...
Always experimenting - I find recording at high volume to be challenging - I don't have a control room, and as a player, I prefer to be next to the amp anyway, but the result is that I can't hear what the recording sounds like until well after I'm done playing (and unplug the computer and...
Wow - so easy to get behind with this thread!
Minerman - I once DIY'ed a talkbox with a small plastic tub with a lid, an unwanted crappy computer speaker, some clear plastic tubing, duct tape of course, and I think the only tool I needed was a knife. It has been many years and I don't remember...
Cool - JDOD - looking forward to the next version.
Minerman - that's some pretty heavy gauge wire to the pot - what's the voltage rating on the pot, or is it really much juice going to it?
Just realized I owe you guys a clip of the greenbacks - forgive the slop:
(note - I posted the wrong...
here's a pic of the cab my new(ly acquired) greenbacks came in - I think it looks nice. The seller said it was a Mojotone cab
Edit - the picture is rotated sideways on my screen for some reason - clearly we need to stop talking about dope
I've been working on my drum setup, mic choice, placement, etc. I can't play myself, but I want the kit good to go in case a real drummer ever comes over -- it could happen some day:

This is dry with a little level tweaking - I forgot to hit the...
I'm thinking of the new mic "day" as really this weekend, but I got a pair of Manley Reference Cardioid mics and I've been messing around with them. I can't sing, so I have to rely on my singing friends, but a couple have stopped by.
Good on acoustic, but they don't seem materially better...
What do you think of this acoustic guitar recording?
(I tried to upload a wav file, but I guess it was too big)
I ran my microphones straight into my converter with no preamp at all. I had to use an inline phantom power making thing. And then in my DAW, I added 42 dB of gain - I think this...
OK - here are the ones I have been using:
mostly for mixing, sometimes tracking - a channel strip, compressor, eq, and some preamp/eqs (from the group buy here)
currently wired up mostly to be loops from the converter below
for mixing and tracking some stuff in my mixing room - a preamp and...
I have been using a stereo compressor that has the option for a variable link between the two channels so that the one currently exerting the most compression only forces the other one to compress, say, 70 or 80% as much. I like this feature, especially for stem/bus compression.
I also have two...
I've been talking smack about having this amp for a couple of years on here - finally got around to taking it apart and snapping some pics. Here's the front:
Here's the back:
Here's the backplate off (all the tubes are new, but the originals were there when I bought it):
Here's the QC...
I picked up a "Moog MF-102 Moogerfooger Ring Modulator" on sale last year - significantly, it has a low frequency oscillator (LFO) function. I use it (briefly) on a couple of songs, and it's just the ticket. Trouble is, it takes up a third of my pedal board and it's not true bypass and it does...
I made a routing pedal for my pedal board that's sort of double looper - there are 6 jacks - 3 on each side - and a true bypass 3PDT (nine pin) footswitch, which toggles the signal to go through one loop or the other (and a LED for each loop, to indicate which one is active - but that's only if...
just listened with headphones - kickass sound! That's like the perfect amount of gain for me
OK - continuing with my education, I took the acoustic guitar track that got the most votes earlier and ran it through some compressors. I didn't spend too much time with them - just twisted knobs /...
I have a Marshall JCM900 series 1960B cabinet that I'm not in love with - it has the stock speakers, and I want to replace some or all of them. But before that, I have to face the fact that the cabinet itself is troublesome - it has a somewhat tubby bass-y sound when compared to some other...
Yeah minerman - assuming that was the guitar volume that was rolled down, that's pretty awesome - most of my guitars go really dark like that. I've tried fixing it by changing pots and capacitors with some success. Love the 65 - gotta get one :)
it's true I swear :) - OK pics or it didn't...
