GREAT NEWS! This little Traynor YCV20WR is spittin out the most kick butt guitar sound I've ever had in my life. This is the sound I've been looking for all those years that I was dinkin around with solid state. Now I feel like I truly have recovered from solid state! This is awesome! WOW...

I just got a new AT3032 Omni condensor. I'm planning to try it on my acoustic guitar first. Anybody have hands on with this mic? What do you use it for? What do you want to try it on? Any (musical) ideas welcome! Thanks! - SC

FS: Sennheiser E609 Silver, Mint, with clip, pouch, and original box, only had it for about 9 months, it has just sat in a booth untouched, smoke free, never out of the house, etc.... I have 3 other mics that I have ended up using instead of this one, and I need the money for other gear...

Soundelux appears to be the company that does sound for several Hollywood productions, you see that name in a lot of movie credits. Then in reading the fine print it said that Transamerica Audio Group, owner of Soundelux, includes among it's product lines the FMR gear, including the RNC stuff...

I play guitar, but I bought a stock JP-made Fender Precision bass a few years ago for home recording. I do not play bass for gigs. I know nothing about setting up bass. I have my guitars and amps all set up the way I like them now, which in turn made me wonder if I should be doing something to...

......that determines when the "breakup" happens? The amp I am getting is a Traynor YCV20WR, my first ever "all tube" amp. from the Yorkville web site: When people more experienced with tube amps than me talk about things like "more volume before it breaks up" what are they really saying...

I'm pulling the trigger on one more guitar amp. Ya know, with all the people gettin great axe tones and giving out great tips over the last several months, I have learned some things about my guitar that I shoulda learned back in high school. Ya see, back in the day, when classic rock was...

I found a web site where the guy is a Traynor dealer, and he posted the Yorkville list prices pdf doc on his web page. So I took a look.... I was surprised to find the Yorkville price guide listed Apex mics?? Does that mean Apex Electronics is an arm of Yorkville, just like ART is?? Is...

I've been testing blending my built in pickup sound with my mic'd acoustic guitar tracks. I have a 1982 Legend in excellent condition, not the greatest sound in the history of guitars, but the action is superb. It's the deep bowl, traditional sound hole, model 1667, so it does mic ok, but the...

I opened up my HR16 and my SR16 tonight, thinking since they are 18 and 12 years old, respectively, they could probably use replacement batteries. DAAAAD GUMMMMM YOU Alesis for putting soldered in batteries in your gear. (That fact alone will stop me from EVER buying another piece of gear with...

Well, the home made speaker cab is working. Now that I can play the two speakers side by side, I can hear a subtle but real difference. The Celestion 70/80 (came out of the Vox) is just a hair louder, a hair more low end body to it, but it seems looser, like it makes it harder to control the...

I have plugged my acoustic (built in pickup) in to my amp before, and it was fun. But after being an electric player for so long, I dont know anything about acoustic amps. Why do they make seperate amps for acoustics? What is it about acoustic amps that makes them great especially for...

Just a "for what it's worth" post....... Ok, I got to sit for a couple of hours and work my way around the acoustic guitar wall at the local dealer. Not much subjective detail here, but I think these views generally confirm the prevailing public opinion. I will start off by saying that they...

for the "Mid" mic in a M-S setup? Can the built in acoustic guitar pickup sound take the place of the middle mic track? I suppose there would be phasing issues, to say the least....? But could that be compensated for by moving the mid track a few ms in time? Should be an interesting...

Anybody have any favorite tips for quick and dirty eq'ing of live vocals. It's a church mix, usually even numbers of male and female, none are professionals and almost all of them swallow the mics. The board has 4 band eq, each band has a freq sweep, and both mid bands have a switch for broad...

Someone recently told me that guitars have something in common with cars. Saturn is a budget GM, Geo is a budget Ford, Isuzu is a budget Honda, etc.... Along those same lines, Squire is just the budget Fender, Epiphone is the budget Ovation, etc....??? Is this true? If so, what would be the...

In an old Crate BX100. It's a 15 inch, 150w, 4 ohm Eminence that was custom made for Crate back in the day........meaning there are no longer any 4 ohm speakers available from Eminence. It's not bad, I just use it at home and at jams, I dont gig with it or anything......but if it could sound...

In my Champ amp! I just got my hands on my brothers old Fender Champ, the one that I got for my birthday back in 1973. Very first guitar amp I ever got! The serial number on the transformer indicates it was made in February 1965! I replaced the original blue label Fender Special Design speaker...

perhaps with a Weber 12 inch ceramic 50w Blue Dog? Anybody know how hard or easy it might be to get in there and R&R the driver in this Vox? It is a sealed cab, 50w rms into 8 ohms..... I think the speaker that came in it is probably a Chinese Celestion?? Not bad, but I'd sure be willing to...

After trading posts with a guy making his own cabs, he has my interest in "personalized" amps peaked more than ever! So.....let's assume that I go the "raw driver plus gutted cab" route and put together my own combination of (probably Weber 12 inch Blue Dogs) speakers plus amp. After doing...
