here are some pics: the brace is held against the front panel via a small piece of composite board - no need to remove the grill cloth the composite board was attached to the brace using only a staple. I drilled a hole and countersunk a deck screw to put them together, putting a thin layer...

I have a fairly standard JCM900 1960B 4x12 cabinet. It was making some flubby buzzy noises at high volume, and I didn't like the bass response that much, so opened it to see what was going on. (it's got the stock Celestion 75 watt 12" speakers - I plan to change those to greenbacks at some...

The back of the pedal may not be the best place for an (actually ultraviolet) LED, because you can't see whether it's on when you're standing over the pedal, but you can see it when you're back a bit. That's really all I needed it for - to have a quick visual about whether it's still on. I ran...

I'm switching back and forth between two different amp heads on one 4x12 cab. Currently, I make sure the one I'm not using is off and move the speaker cable back and forth as needed between the two. The cabinet has (at least) two inputs, and so I'm wondering whether it would be a disaster to...

The run of the mill boom mic stand is the stupid deal of the day (March 10, 2013)- $15 each. I ordered 3 with free standard shipping

I've not got I think 4 pedals that have bright blue LED indicator lights. Two of them I'm pretty much going to be using a lot. Does anyone else find these as blinding as I do? In low light, when I look straight down on one, I can't see the pedal, or even the rest of the board, and when I look...

I recently picked up an old non-master-volume big bottle amp, and thanks to suggestions in another thread (props to Greg) it appears that using a booster pedal is a path to nice tone at small-venue levels (I'm lucky to get into any venues), and for recording without police visitation. I have a...

Maybe I'll get the balls to try the Power Brake soon - makes sense about not turning it down too much. On the front end front, I had been trying to figure out what to do with this pedal: I picked it up at an Austin pawn shop just based on the faceplate. It seems to be a slightly dirty boost...

GC sells the pedal train "1" - not the smallest, but far from the biggest. That's all they stock, and since my window was narrow, I jumped on it. I also got the voodoo labs power thing with 8 outputs - it's mounted underneath. Yeah, Greg, the hard case is kinda chintzy, but fortunately I suck...

I'm starting to gig again, and now I'm using pedals - not many, but I had a dead battery screw me up once already, and now that I'm adding a wah and fuzz pedal and some others, I figure it's time to consider a pedal board with power. A friend recommended the voodoo labs power supply and I've...

OK - got the JMP back from the shop. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy much yet, but I do notice that when I take it off standby, the sound fades in, where before it seemed like it just came on. Maybe that was just in my head. I had read that a lot of the 1971s (and 72s?) were miswired...

Just came here to bitch - I got a Vox Tonelab SE when they first came out. It's a pretty cool thing, and my son and I have used it for some gigs. - Yes, I prefer real amps - but these are a lot easier to haul around than an amp and pedals, and when we were playing mere supporting roles, backing...

Just picked this up - it was on consignment: It was sold as a "1971 Marshall" - couldn't get any more info. Of course it's a JMP, and it looks to be 50 watts - it has three 12AX7s and two EL34s (and the tubes appear to be original - wow). Anyway, I have the backplate, but all four screws are...

I'm in a really casual cover band - NYRon and the Flying Monkis, I think, not sure where we are with the name. Anyways - if you're in the neighborhood, we'll be at Danelectro's at about 11PM. edit: tonight, the 29th.

I'm using a preamp (one of the ACMP-73 units we got a while back in the group buy) fed into a power amp for my guitar recently. The output of the preamp is balanced, and the input of the power amp is unbalanced. I use a microphone-style cable to connect the two (XLR on the preamp side and TRS...

I posted a while back asking about single channel tube power amps that didn't have preamps: https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/guitars-basses/tube-power-amp-acmp-73-a-341242/ ocnor suggested a Carvin one that looked pretty good, but I had just got my main amp back from a local guy...

Just got the Lynx in. Ordered the wrong cables :(, except that I can get some of it working - I should have got a DB25-DB25 to connect the Lynx to the attenuator (not shown) that goes in between the API units and the converter. Anyway, my Echo Audiofire 12 had been acting up, so it was time to...

I've got terrible knob & tube ungrounded power at my house, and I had been experiencing a hum through my preamps and interface (it was different with different preamps, so I thought it might be them) - I began to suspect the power, then started researching power conditioners / voltage...

here's a pic: It's a Collings OM-1. It's really loud and sounds great. I stoked. It needs a setup, but that will come soon.

one of my favorite guitar 'amps' is my ACMP-73 from the group buy a few years back. In fact, it's my favorite clean sounding [pre]amp ever- way out in front, to tell the truth. But the only way I can really play it is by running the ACMP-73 into my interface/daw and listening through my studio...
