    Check your cables

    I recently had my amp in the shop because I was getting a lot of static/hum when I was playing. I got new preamp tubes as that was what they said was needed. Brought it home and it still made noise so after some investigation I found the cable between my Boss GP8 and my amp was the culprit...

    Clean your ears out lately?

    I just rinsed out my ears using the Murine Ear Wax Removal System. You put drops in the ear then rinse out the wax using the bulb water squirting device. I find I need to do this every couple of years. I can usually tell when I shower and it takes longer than usual to get the water out, or in...

    Sonar CA2A Compressor

    Mike downloaded this with the rest of the ProChannel add ons and we played around with them tonight. Absolutely loved the CA2A on vocals and Concrete Limiter on bass. I'm going to have to buy these now, so we can share bundle files we work on. Been wanting the UAD plugs but they won't run on my...

    Marshall amp random bursts of static

    So I was playing tonight for 2 1/2 hours and I got 3 random 3-7 second bursts of static spread out over that time. Fairly loud static. I looked at the power tubes once as it was happening and they all looked ok - just a yellow/orange glow on the bottom. Couldn't see the preamp tubes from the...

    Hamilton Steele CD's now available (ido1957).

    My new CD's are ready! I spent some time remixing and had them mastered and packaged up at Kunaki. I know it's unusual for someone to post multiple CD's. I had a lot of them mastered individually so that took a long time. Then some artwork and etc etc. Anyway you can pick 1,2 or all 3 to...

    Broke a string today

    On my Pacer. I can't remember the last time I broke a string really. Good thing I had a backup Strat. Powered through a 2.5 hour non stop practice today. Good overdue workout for my memory, fingers and voice. Also had static followed by big volume drop in my amp. It lasted a few seconds each...

    How much did your CD cost to make?

    Just wondering how much you think it cost you to record and produce your last CD. It took me over 5 years to produce my first CD. Other than my guitar stuff, I've bought a ton of stuff like mics, monitors, headphones, mixers, keyboard, ADATs, USB interfaces, DAW software, effect rack...

    Playing what you like

    Listening to a bunch of difference bands I was in this week - converting cassettes to digital (finally and yes I'm old). One the things I notice is the playing has much more passion when I played songs I picked and/or liked. I've always played radio songs but I always preferred the classic rock...

Not much live footage but some good insights by those interviewed from that era - like Cream's road manager who looks as old as my dad lol... From some website: Eric Clapton The 1960s...

    Hot Noiseless Pickups

    My friend Mike just got new Hot Noiseless pickups, jack and controls on his USA strat. I played it last night through his JVM210. Wow no noise at all even standing right in front of the amp. The static is almost all gone but we heard a tiny bit but it was very minimal and won't be an issue...
