Well these new little amps really aren't old solid state anymore. I think Joe was referring to speaker breakup, but for recording these new little amps with all the COSM and tube emulation circuitry and what not, really do sound better recorded into digital than their real tube cousins. If you...

Sorry but YouTube is another definition of "hope" and there is no such thing as hope unless the word "false" precedes it. I have stuff on soundclick l uploaded in 2006. It's a good reference. Youboob for me served a purpose 10 years ago, haven't uploaded anything since.

I have a Fender USA Blues DeVille that was hot rodded by the same guy that did SRV's and Eric Johnson's amps, and l have the same problem. I bought a stinking Behringer 15-watt practice amp with an 8" Bugera speaker for $20 at a pawn shop, and l got the best recorded tone l ever got in my life...

I don't think any Peavey amp sounds great, no matter what mods you do, or what kind of music you play. Dropping a sh*t load of money into a Peavey defeats the purpose of buying a Peavey. Peavey hands down delivers the most Volume per Buck. That is why you buy a Peavey. You buy a Marshall to...

Accurate answer.

Indestructible. Both Augie's guitar players used Bandits from the early 80's until they died recently. The amps outlived them. I thought the tone left a lot to be desired, but you could not kill those things. And they were always plenty loud enough. I used a Lab Series L5 and let Doug Sahm use...

The later Peavey solid state amp heads have a switch that allows you to select the cabinet impedance. I have never heard of a 16ohm minimum load on a solid state head. Generally the lower the speaker load, the great the available watts in amp power. Most Peavey amps ever made were designed to...

I would not worry about adjusting the bias. Get a good recording that sounds good to your ears. Everyone that buys this new tape is going to pull out thier old porta studios and put as little wear and tear on them as possible.

My worry is this limited time thing. Which means there has been only one manufacturing run. I ran a tape duplicating facilty from 1986 to around the turn of the Century. We used Tascam porta studios and duplicated millions of cassettes. Mostly spoken word, for guys like Jim Baker and some of the...

This is exciting. I bought my first 244 Tascam in 1982. In fact l bought the exact same recording rig that George Harrison bought. My first recording blew away my friend's Teac 4 track reel to reel. But l never ever used Type ll chrome or metal tape. Word got around they put too much wear on the...

One last note. The EQ section on the PA 600 is Not a true parametric EQ. It is a bunch of sweep filters designed to replace a graphic equalizer. And of course a Lot cheaper to manufacture into a mixer. But it was a FAIL because in an actual working environment there was No set of settings that...

Wow! 10 years later and still a relevant question. I picked up a Trident console in 2018. It was a pull from one of the last holdout recording studios in LA. I remember seeing it start on craigslist at $5000. Which sounds incredibly fair, but nobody touched it. Basically it sat in their storage...

Now another thing that comes up is, how do l compare all the old gear with giant transformers and silver dollar sized transistors to todays Made in China chips and circuit boards? Well again, back in the day we recorded all of our live shows. I had a very high end Akai cassette deck we ran off...

This is an old thread, but the gear is still out there so. Our first pa back in the mid 70's was a Peavey Standard and two 112PH speakers. When all we had were little Alamo and Harmony amps, it was Awesome. Then we got the 400 heads and matching cabinets. We were so LOUD the pa wasnt cutting it...
