    Magnatone Custom 260 amp, need some info...

    I just traded a guitar I never play to my uncle for an '80s squier strat and an old amp. I traded a takamine parlor acoustic/electric for the guitar and the amp... :D :D That may have been a preemptive joyous outburst, but I would like to see if anyone has any info about this amp... It's...

    Used JC-120

    I saw one yesterday at GC for around $250.00... I've heard mixed reviews on the newer ones vs. the older ones... I think this was an early '80s model, but it looked pretty beat to shit. I didn't have time to try it out, but I'm going back soon to check into it. I hate to ask this question...

    Couple of things I'm looking to part with...

    Because taxes are killing me. :mad: So I'm willing to take offers on the following items: Marshall V69 mogami edition Used once since I got it, comes with cords, power supply, case, etc... Boss GT-700 or GT-6 GT-700 is used, I am not the original owner but it has been kept safely...

    Mixing with pre-made beats...

    This last friday I played "hip hop producer" for the first time ever. It was a unique experience to say the least, although it was a breath of fresh air to get away from my stuff for one night. My friend just got an M-Box and ProTools le, so I went to see his setup and dink around a little...

    Recording distorted guitars...

    My forum search thing keeps giving me "page not found" crap instead of related threads, so I hope you guys can help out a bit here... :o I've been doing a lot more recording lately of music involving electric guitars instead of acoustic. I've been having "issues" getting decent...

    Anyone else had problems with upgrades?

    I upgraded Cubase tonight, aftera few trouble free years with the original 3.0 version that I bought. Well, now my metronome cuts in and out as well as any audio signals that are being played back or recorded... Anybody have any ideas?

    Way off subject, didn't know where to post...

    Like the title says, this is not even recording related... If I need to post elsewhere, or even just delete it, please let me know. Hopefully I may get some kind of answer, seeing as how some people on here know a bit about the internals of electronics. :o My dad has this Kenwood...

    Gibson ES-135 neck pickup issue...

    Okay, so it just started happening not more than 10 minutes ago. I'm playing through the neck pickup, I switch to the middle position to use both pickups, I switch back to the neck pickup and no volume. It's not completely silent, but all of the sudden it sounds as though someone has taken my...

    Practice techniques?

    For you guitar players out there... I've been playing for about 10 years, quit really working on technique when I joined a band, and have been out of that band for almost a year now and feeling a bit rusty. I got a promotion at work from production (hard work, very physically strenuous) to a...

    interface suggestion for crappy laptop...

    Okay, so I have a crappy gateway laptop (Intel Celeron 1.6 Ghz, 512mb RAM, 40gb HD, etc..), and I really want to do field recording with it. I am seeing a girl that plays the piano like nobody's business, and I'm really wanting to record her. Problem is, my piano is downstairs on the other...

    Okay, so now I'm confused...

    I am using a Tascam FW1804 interface. It has 4 mic/line inputs at a rated +11dBu spec per the manual. The other 4 inputs are line inputs at +4dBu. The new compressor I just got, along with a guitar processor/preamp that I have had for a few years have buttons on the back to select either...

    So I'm pretty stoked...

    Two things, one I need advice on, and the other.... Well, I need advice on it too. :D Thing one (let's get Seussified here...): Today, I found out that a friend of mine is selling all of his bass gear. He wants $2500 for the whole shebang, but I dunno what all he has, so I asked him...

    Cubase SL3.0 and java???

    Okay, before I go screw something up on my pc, I gotta get this figured out. I was going through some of the plugin folders and I came across a file folder with the label of "jre". I did some digging in the txt files and it mentions "Java Runtime Environment". What the hell? Is this actually...

    Matchless Black Cat...

    Holy shit this a m p sounded sweeeeeeeeet!!! I payed the lite ash strat I bought through it today at the local GC (cringe), and it was luscious. Through a 1 x 12" cab it sounded better than pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving day. :D (Anybody willing to spot me $3300.00 to pick it up?) I ended up...

    Tascam US2400 controller...

    Anyone know where (if) you can still get these? I have searched e-bay with no luck, and all of the google searches seem to lead me to a musician's friend (etc, etc...) page with "sorry, we no longer stock this pro duct (stupid intellitext), search for other products offered by TASCAM here..."...

    rap vocalists with microphone questions please read!!

    Okay, so this is probably fueling the fire more than I could ever know, but after reading through thread after thread of "mic for rap vocals" questions and other threads flaming them for being redundant it dawned on me. A friend of mine uses a cheap ass MXL 990 and it sounds great. I can...

    a1 softsynth MIDI implementation...

    Hey there guys (and gals), I recently started working more extensively with MIDI, and have been using the A1 softsynth that came with CubaseSL. I have used it before but only for small parts in songs requiring something in the background to add more fullness to them. Lately I have started...

    Mic cables?

    Alright, I was reading through these pages the other day, here in the mic forum, and I came across a link to redco.com. After drooling over the cheap bulk microphone cables they have for sale, I was hit with a hardcore case of gearlust, albeit on a smaller scale. All of the sudden I was...

    Boss GT-6 and Tascam FW-1804

    Alright, I am posting this in the Tascam forum as well, so I'm sorry to anyone who has read this twice. I've got a Boss GT-6 (manual sucks, just in case you have not had the pleasure of reading it...) and a Tascam FW-1804, which I'm trying to run the GT-6 into via the S-PDIF connections. This...
