I've got an older Vox wah pedal that doesn't have an adapter plug, which isn't so bad as long as I remember to unplug my guitar, but depending on which pedalboard I get, unplugging it all the time could be annoying. Is it possible to modify it so that I can plug it into my power supply instead...

How do I get my tone switch (the treble/rythm switch, in case I'm making up names here) to stop clicking when I switch it from one setting to the other? Granted, the switch is like 28 years old, so do I just need to clean it off or something? Thanks.

I've got a The Paul from '79, still with the stock humbuckers ("Gibson humbuckers", whatever that means), and I'm wondering if I should replace those things. I mean, they sound fine, but then again it's the only good electric I've played with, so I don't really know what I could be missing. I...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is a good cable with good shielding? I've got a Monster cable and it picks up a ridiculous amount of interference. It's like an antenna for my guitar amp. If I move it around, I can cut down on some of the radio stations, but I usually still have at...

So I'm looking at building myself a guitar, but I don't have a whole lot of money. I'm mostly concerned with getting the wood and cutting it right now. Anyone know where I can get some routed 1-piece blanks for cheap? I tried Warmoth, but those are a little bit more expensive than I can manage...

So I just got a bunch of Digitech pedals--the Distortion Factory, Hyper Phase, and DigiDelay, if you must know--and all of them have stereo outputs, which seems like a good time saver vs. doubling guitars in the mix, so I guess the question with that then is how do I get them all going into just...

So I've got a Crate solid-state amplifier, a 65w model, and I like it a lot, except it doesn't have an effects loop, which is a problem since I want to do the distortion before the effects. Is it possible to splice in an effects loop somehow, or should I just look into getting a new amp? Thanks.

I'm hoping at least one other person here has both Pro Tools M-powered and M-audio Jamlab, because I'm supposed to be able to route the GT Player Express software the Jamlab came with into Pro Tools so that I can record my guitar with the effects applied, but after skimming all the manuals I can...

Ok this question is pretty dumb. I bought Pro Tools M-Powered, and to bounce to mp3 I have to have an authorized mp3 plug-in or something, which it says nothing about on the m-audio web site or in the manuals. Maybe there is some code that came in the box? I don't know because I didn't bother to...

So I just got a Delta 1010 lt, which comes with Ableton Live Lite 4... I read on an ebay page that this does 4 tracks of audio, but I know I can use more than that, so my question is, can I record to more than 4 at once with this version? I mean, I ordered Pro Tools under the impression that I...

So I've been using Pro Tools at school, so I thought I'd get an academic-priced M-powered version (not bad at $150) which suits all my needs, but I noticed that it says Pro Tools requires compatible hardware to function. I hadn't thought about this when I ordered it, but I did order compatible...

to Sonar Home Studio 4, but I want to know if it has limitations on the number of physical inputs like Cubase does, or if it's only limited by the number of tracks you can have. I was going to get Cubase SE, but I have a 12 channel mixer, so 8 ins (although I only have 8 mics right now) wouldn't...

I was reading lately in an EQ magazine that all you have to do to turn a speaker into a mic is reverse the wiring, which sounds pretty easy, but I'm not really sure that it can be THAT easy, and which wires. Or do I just plug it into the mic spot instead of the speaker spot? I'm not expecting it...

I've noticed that (especially when I'm recording my drums), whenever I hit the kick, the toms also reverberate, which I am attributing to the fact that they are attached to the kick, but I suppose it could also be that they are all tuned to some sort of harmonizing frequency. Do I just need to...

I can't say I'm exactly a newbie, as I've done work with mixers and audio programs before, but I haven't tried any REAL home recording (just like two crap mics on a drum set and guitar). I've got some software, but I've been thinking about actually buying it, since my plan is to start a video...

I hate to say that I've been drumming for my whole life (I'm 18, been drumming since I was 4) and I don't really know the first thing about tuning. I mean, I can figure more or less what sounds nice, but I don't know anything about tuning. Any suggestions?

I have a Gretsch renown maple kit with a zildian a pack of cymbals, which I'm pretty happy with, but I bought a mixer off of ebay a little while ago and am trying to see about recording some stuff. I was looking into CAD mics, mostly because they're cheap and I can't justify spending much money...
