Newest configuration I'm trying allows for easier access to 388's rear, and has racks mounted on steel poles that allow them to swivel around for easy access to their rear connections also. Had an Ultimate rack system, replaced the aluminum front uprights with steel ones from an Ikea bunk...

Modeling and robotics: where are guitars going This line of thought occurred to me during the huge storm that came through the bay area last week, filling our reservoirs from "here comes water rationing drought" to normal levels in one go. That and a scodiddly post. Power was funky, lights...

My Tascam porta 05, which has Dolby HX pro noise reduction, took a spill in the late '90s and hasn't worked since. Nonetheless, it's recordings live on, and seem to have a more tapey sound than its 424 mkII dbx brother. Any definitive answers? I know when I slam the 388 too hard, the dbx...

Yeah, I know, leave well enough alone. However, if anyone with the know how and experience has made any mods that they feel markedly improved or extended the performance of the pres and eq on these beasts, I'm (we're?) all ears. The mixer sounds great already, and I have a standalone pre or...
