I have two all tube amps. H&K's. I have one TC electronics G-major processor. One amp has a Serial effect loop and sounds amazing no matter what i do with the processor. the other amp has a Parralell effects loop and the effects sound completely crappy and hollow and distant with the same...

I have a travel gig here coming up and somehow I ended up with this head in my backline. Instead of bitching about it, I thought I would just try it. Anyone know how many channels it is, and if they can be switched with a footswitch with a 1/4" jack? All I know is that it is a Peavey 5150...

Man I tell you, their new album really moves me inside. Warren Haynes just has a way with his lyrics and guitar tones and chords to really pull emotion out of a listener. He is completely on another level of human emotion than most artists out there. THe song "child of the Earth" is just...

I have a PRS SE with soapbar2 guitar which i just love. It sustains, the body resonates, the pickups have high quality tone at any volume level, its light and easy to play. THe finish however is that venere stuff. It is starting to bubble. My dealer said they would ship it off to get it...

Im looking for a good wireless that can be rack mounted that wont ruin my beautiful tone. All the ones at my local store will ruin my tone. Its almost like they are preamped or something and just wont work for me. ANy ideas for me? Money is not an issue as long as it maintains my picking...

I've been looking at the Washburn line of guitars called "Idol Pro's" They look pretty sweet. Kinda an alternative to a les paul. They run anywhere from $500-$700. here is a link. you can click on the different styles below the picture of the guitar...

ANyone have any opinions, or anything I should be aware of before purchasing one of these? It says it has the '57 humbucker. Is that a good thing?? what kind of tone will I get through a very nice all tube amp? I like that these have 24 frets, and are lightweight and seem to have a very...

ok ive been playing guitar for about 22 years and ive never until recentely heard of the term "veneering" except for counter tops and cabnets. whats the deal? Is this a cheap ass way of making a guitar look good. does it effect the sound in anyway vs a maple cap, or top or however they...

What do you call the guitar stand that holds an acoustic guitar in playing position on stage for a live performance? You know so i can have the acoustic set up at my height and angle, and switch back and forth between that and my electric already stapped on to me. Ive searched "guitar...

This is an actual recording question. OK, when im recording vocals should i completely rely on the compressor to smooth out powerful vocal parts or should i ask the singer to physically pull back from the mic in distance to help smooth it ??? I have a vocal part recorded and if i add too much...

Here is a band i recently recorded. Please give me some feedback if you have time. It was done on some limited gear so the best i hoped to get is just a good amature demo. THis was recorded on a boss BR-1600. Drums were recorded live with d112 kick, sm57's on snares and toms, sure ksm27's...

Hey i got a weird deal going with my H&K Tube amp. Ok, so if i go guitar and cable plugged right to the front end and nothing else i can jam on it for like 5 minutes and the sound cuts out and or fades and there is kinda fuzzy static type sounds going on. I might add that in this set up...

Any one have a definate preference of kick drum beaters ? what works best for you and why ?? Ive had good luck using one of those cobra kick wooden beaters, it really gave a nice cutting pop. I found i could get a good kick sound with minamal eqing. any thoughts on the subject would be very...

Ive been shopping around for a used tube amp (head). Something that sounds good, and doesnt have to be great as its only for band practice. Ive checked ebay on Carvin used heads and man these suckers seem to hold their value for some reason. Their web site has info on their old models even...

My equipment is hughs and kettner amps, tc electronic gmajor, guitar. I am a lone guitar player in my band. some songs i cover has guitar harmonies by two guitarists. My question is how could i set up perfect harmony with my processor or close so it sounds like two different guitars? It has...

Ok this is not about recording, but it does concern one of our guitar heros. http://aceishigh.ytmnd.com/

Hey, here are some clips of a band i recorded. These are NOT mastered. My contention has always been that the mastering tool kit in the br-1600, is just more eqing and compression that could have been done in the first place in your mixing stage, and the tool kit does not do anything more to...

How does the number of tubes effect an amp? some amps are 20 watts with 4 power and 4 pre tubes. some amps are 50 watts with 2 and 2. some are 100 watts with the same tubes. just wondering what do the tubes actually do or how do they effect the amps sound. Does more tubes equal better quality...
