I frequently use 2 amps, one I set clean and the other I set on the gain chanel. I'm looking for a pedal which when depressed will allow me to fade from one amp to the other. I want to be able to blend the sounds from both amps, sometimes more of one or the other, depending on the song...

Hello I'm Dan, and I'm a guitaraholic; My wife says, "Oh my God!!! Not another one!!!" At least once a month. I can't explain it. I just saw it and it was such a good deal I had to buy it. I didn't need it, don't really even want it, just couldn't stop myself. I admitt it, I'm a guitar...

It finally happened.... After four and a half years at our present location, playing almost daily, at all hours of the day and night, often at pretty high volume.... Someone called the police! It was actualy a little funny, the cop thought it was someone with the stereo turned really loud, he...

I gotta brag a little, I lucked up yesterday!!! I picked up a Fender Twin/with extention 2X12 cab for $275. I wasn't looking for another amp but this was too good of a deal to pass. Fantastic deals in pawn shops don't occur as frequently as they used too, but sometimes you can still find one...

I just picked up a Squire Telecaster which I am considering modifying a little. I'm thinking about replacing the bridge pup with a Hotrail, then changing the switch to a 5 way and wiring the coils of the Hotrail like 2 seperate pups. This way I can have single or double coils on the bridge...

I am considering a little remodeling in my main tracking room (13'X27' with 10' celing) and thought I'd get some other opinions before getting out the saw and hammer. The main thing I have in mind is to cut my corners (walls and celing) by blocking off approximately 18" at a 45 degree angle...

I'm a guitar player who dabbles with keyboard and I would like advice on adding a midi keyboard into my (meager) recording system. I am familar with recording on pc but totaly new to midi so any advice will be helpful and appreciated. OK, here goes, I've got pc, soundcard, recording software...

I've had a conflicting opinion (reguarding drums) over in the recording techniques forum, thought I'd as you guys. I figure if I want to know something about drums I should ask drummers. My idea is; Each drum and cymbal is a seperate instrument, all working together to create the percussion...

Is it just me or has the quality of import guitars suddenly improved? I grew up in an era when if a guitar didn't have Gibson or Fender on the headstock then it probably wasn't worth buying. Several years back I noticed some real quality instruments arriving from Japan and Indonesia, recently...

This may sound odd but I am looking for a set of "quiet drums." I know the volume of drums is largely a matter of control by the drummer, what I am trying to find out is does anyone know of a brand of drums or heads or something which will make drums quieter? My reason for asking is when...

I don't have any problem whatsoever keeping my hands off the instruments of others, especialy cheap guitars or trashcan lid cymbals, but the clowns who have that kind of gear don't seem to mind knocking over my mics. It's like they don't consider mics to be pieces of "real" equipment. I've...

I ran across this http://www.gootar.com/throry.htm a few days ago and thought I'd share it. Chords in almost any position, inversions, loads of variations, I wish I had found something like this years ago. Check it out, if you like it as much as I do you will want to add it to your favorites...

Some time back, late last spring or early summer maybe someone posted a link to a site which gace a pretty complete listing of the gear used by practically everyone on practically every recording. I had it in my favorites but the pc i was using at the time crashed and I lost the link. If...

Bass traps I've got, it's something to cut down on some of the highs that I need. The thing I am thinking about would (possibly) be some sort of device hanging from the celing (over the drums) to absorb some of the highs, mainly from cymbals. My room is 13"X27" with 10" celing. Drums are...

I've been trying to record a drummer who is really "heavy handed" especially on cymbals. He plays the edges a lot and the cymbals crash a lot! My problem is he plays the cymbals so hard that they overpower everything else and cause the drum track(s) to clip and distort. I've tried different...

This isn't quite a poll, just a place to list the things which seperate our favorites and our least desireable guitars and the reasons why. For example; I like Ibanez Axe series guitars for their feel, small, light, thin neck. I'm a somewhat small person so this style "fits" both my body and...

I posted a new tune on our site, COULD IT BE YOU. It was recorded all at once, one take on everything, sounds rough, timming is off but it's not advice on recording I'm after, it's comments on the song as a whole. We are presently working on a "real" CD and are trying to decide which songs to...

Here's what I have and what I want to do.... I have an Ibanez GAX70 which I really like playing (size, shape, weight, neck, it is very comfortable to me) but the tone leaves a bit to be desired. The neck pup sounds alright but the bridge one is awful, tinny and shrill. I'm wanting to change it...

The bass control on my Fender Princeton Chorus is shot and I need to replace it. The circuits seem fine but the pot has a bad rough spot and goes from off to about 9 with nothing in between. Anyone know what the correct replacement part number is? I'm pretty good with a soldering iron so I can...

I recently recieved a distribution offer from a company called Statue Records Group LA. After reviewing their offer, which sounds reasonable, (I still have doubts) I wanted to ask if anyone is familiar with or has done business with them. I figure someone around here will know if this is a...
