    Buying a new house - building a studio

    So I am planning on doing it right with our next house, which we are looking to buy pretty soon. I want to build an iso room big enough to fit a drum kit and sound proof it. Is the room within a room the way to go? I take it I'd want the iso room to have it's own ceiling. Any estimates on what...

    Changing machine heads on a Les Paul - diy?

    I am going to replace the cheesy green plastic machine heads on my Les Paul Studio with some chrome Grovers. Is this a job for a tech or is it simple enough for me to do it? Any special trick or certain technique that must be employed? If it's a job for a tech I'd rather not take the chance...

    Industrial/hardcore samples for metal etc

    Hi guys. I am getting into industrial metal type stuff. I need samples (not guitars) for this stuff. I generally just do guitar/bass/drums stuff, but I want to put an industrial, modern, nu-metal type spin on it. Can anyone recommend some samples that would lend itself to that sort of genre - to...

    Slapping it in the shower

    Ever since I've been on Zoloft I haven't been able to spunk in the shower. I need hardcore porn to have a happy ending. I miss those early morning wet and wild wank sessions. Oh sorry - did I say that out loud? :eek:

    Studio-izing a 2 room basement

    We are looking at buying a house in the spring - already have the house picked out. It's a 5 level split - 2 rooms in the lowest level - divided by drywall. This is where my studio will be. I want a small room or section of a room isolated so I can put my amps in there and crank them. On their...

    Line 6 - DL4 delay - reliability?

    I am lookint at swapping my TC Electronics G-Major for a delay as that's all I use in the TC. I am interested in the Line 6 DL4 - but in the reviews I've read - people say they just stop working, which sounds like a nightmare. Instead, I was thinking of the Boss DD-20 Digital Delay, which is a...

    Grooving out saddles - do it myself?

    Het fellers. I just put new saddled on my Les Paul Custom. I play hard and the strings pop out of the saddles - very frusterating. I had this problem before and someone grooved them a little deeper - problem solved. Can I do this myself or should I get a tech to do it? Waiting times are long and...

    6l6's vs. el34's

    I see this has been discussed before - but I couldn't really find a definitive answer. I think I need to replace the power tubes on my single rectifier Mesa. It currently has el34's. I can switch that to 6l6's. What's the difference? What's your preference? Thanks!

    Blown fuse/ Rectifier - advice?

    Hey guys. My Rectoverb head pooped out (just went quiet). I pulled the fuse and it has a brown ring around it (blown, yes?). I read that this could be a power tube gone bad. Is that neccessarily true, or could it just be the fuse? How do I tell if a power tube is blown? Thanks for any advice...

    Got me an Axe-Trak - hella cool

    http://www.jlhproducts.com/axetrak/main.cfm I just got it yesterday. It's way smaller than I expected - and very light. But it works! If volume is a concern (either for other people's benefit or to save your own hearing) I highly recommend this little unit. I drive it with my Mesa Rectoverb and...

    Tube mic + tube pre - bad idea?

    Does this cause problems? Are you better off with a solid state mic and a tube pre or vice versa? Will having both be tube based mess things up?

    ART PRO-CHANNEL + Rode NTK - opinions?

    Hey guys. I currently have a Mackie 1202 and a cheap condenser ($150 Apex). I was looking at upgrading my setup and this is about my budget. Anyone use this setup? Opinions? Would it be a significant leap in sound from what I have now? I am weary of all in 1 devices but the reviews are good. It...

    Rode NTK + Mackie pres question

    Hey guys. I currently have the Mackie 1202vlz and a shitty Apex condenser. I am upgrading my mic and pre. I am looking at the NTK. I have not decided on a pre yet. Is it worth getting the NTK first and using it with the mackie pres, or should I just wait until I can afford both the mic and a new...

    Reverb on mesa trouble - tube???

    Hey guys. I have a Mesa rectoverb head. When I switch the reverb on, it distorts badly - even on the clean channel. I turn off the reverb via the footswitch and it works fine. Would this be a tube? How would I know which one? Any other ideas? Thanks!

    Major frustration: Les Paul Custom buzzing - advice

    Hey guys. I have a '57 reissue Les Paul Custom ("black beauty" as they call it). It has been a flawless guitar for me for 8 years - never broken a string - and I ALWAYS break strings. I paid $3500 Canadian for it. About 1 month ago it developed a buzz on the open low E string. It was bad enough...
