Hey folks, I'm trying to do my teenage neighbor a favor by repairing his Peavy bass amp. The input jack was broken because it is one of those cheap variety components with plastic housing and four little ears that protrude down into the printed circuit board to connect the rest of the...

Hey folks, I am really only aware of the big names who are putting out prosumer soundcards for about $150, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I don't need top-notch converters; I just want S/PDIF in/out. Plus I need it for typical soundcard purposes, so the Edirol USB thingy won't do...

I recently test drove a Les Paul Jr. Lite. I took it off the wall because I liked the double cut. After about 15 minutes of noodling, I caught myself wanting the guitar. I'm doing as much research as possible on the guitar, and I'm finding a lot of people mercilessly bashing the P-100 stack...

Hey DPS owners: Well the 10 gig HD is nearly full and the time has come to fork out for the SCSI CDRW for back-ups and archiving. So here's the issue, have any of you found that the apporved drive info available on the website is a little off? Particularly with the plextor and yamaha...

I guess I'm a pack rat, but have a box with about 15 non-functioning guitar cables in it. I also have a voltmeter, a soldering iron, and a shortage of properly working cables. Question is: How do I check to see if the length of cable is still good? If its in the jacks, is it usually a bad...

Hey fender guys, I might be able to get my hands on a 72 bandmaster head & 4x10 cabinet for a pretty reasonable price. I don't know yet if it is the reverb model or not. Do any of you have exerience with this amp? I've read that there was a run of 70's B-masters with some shitty wiring...

So I was gone for about 2 weeks and I come back to find this new forum. Good Work Dragon!!! Funny thing is that I'm taking a class in teaching writing right now, and I'm reading heavily on composition theory. I think this forum will really serve an intellectual curiosity for me, reading...

I'm going from memory here, but i think a possible problem is that 1&2 should not be in the tape position. Off is one of the other choices on the 414 right, or mic/line on the 414 mkII? depending on how you have them panned, having 1&2 in tape position would bounce them into 3, but not the other...

If I can just finish this last paper, I'll have some time to record over break, so my question: I've got an HP, celeron 466, 12gb 5400blah, blah, Recently registered n-track, you know, a home use box. I just want to know what I can do to maximize my comp. performance for a couple of sessions...

I have my girlfriend's brother's old kit and its rigged with C-Ducer triggers inside the shells. I also have the interface box. Any of you folks know of interesting things to do with them? I think he used them in lieu of mikes for gigs, but I'm just wondering if they might be of any use to me...

The guitar collection thread got me thinking... I have an 84-87(??) Jap strat Contemporary edition. You know, the one with 22 frets, fender locking trem, all single coils. I've had it for about 9 yrs. I figure its high time to treat it a little better than just the three truss-rod adjustments...

I just typed a nice long one about this but, it didn't make it so i'll keep it short this time. The specs are on the Tascam page, Have any of you computer aces checked this thing out? Anything suspect? The USB connections sounds revolutionary and simple. But is it any good? Its not on the...

Okay, so I just decided that a good soundcard is a better way to get into digital than a stand alone box. Now for the questions. I see a lot of people like the gadgetlabs cards, how about Aark or Lexicon, or any others? I'll be upgrading rather slowly, but I'd like to start off using my...

I've been noticing lately that my strat is getting pretty noisy. when my pick or fingers rub the pickguard below the pickups i get a pretty nasty magnetic interference kind of sound? Is this a faulty ground somewhere in the guitar? or even the amp? Also, I use a boss OS-2 box on the way to the...

I'm considering moving into the digital world, and am leaning toward the md 8. Good idea? here's the situation, I want to record 8 tracks simultaneously and bounce and overdubb the shit out of it. I don't like the menu based mixer sections on the rolands and korg and ADAT is a bit out of my...
