Interesting thread. I play Irish Pubs in Germany, and as I haven't gigged in the States in ages, I was surprised that tastes are so similar. The Germans also like "Sweet Home" (and yes, I share eveyone's feelings about that song - not so much 'cause it's a bad song, but because we've all played...

Happy birthday, man! Hope you have a good party "down under". Looking forward to your first impressions of the comp. All the best, Gelon

I'm very curious as well. If you have gotten yours, please let us know how you like it. I've never used Behringer comps, but, as you said, the specs are great for so little money. Can't say I'm totally happy with my RNC, and would like to get something else for the rack with a different vibe and...

Not sure if this has been addressed anywhere else on the BB (I searched...), but I'd be interested to know if anyone has experienced noise in the RNC as it releases. Mine gets a low-level "crackling" sound during release, either fast or slow. On busy program material, it's not a problem, but...

I can relate (I think all of us can). I'm not sure I'd have the presence of mind to think of any good questions if I were in that position. Mayall...whoa. Think of the guitarists who "apprenticed" in his band back in the 60's: Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor. He's played with everybody. Just...

My favorite was always the Boss - I've got a couple. It's the choice of country pickers like Brent Mason, and, I believe, Albert Lee (with a Tele and Twin or Deluxe, ya can't go wrong for that "chicken-pickin' thang"). I've found it's great for overdriven west-coast style rock, as well. They're...

Now, that's what I'm talkin' about! And it looks like I revived a dead thread with my insult (all in good fun, of course). But, Alan, you mean the thing's still not shipping yet? I know ya gotta be tired of hearin' that, but, damn... There are a bunch of us with money burnin' holes in our...

Why not? I haven't had a chance to try anything before the unit, but it's on my list. So, how do you think the V-Amp models compare to amps you've used? I'm not sure I understand why so many people seem to dislike it - maybe just because "Behringer Bashing" is popular on this BB...Sure, you can...

No offense taken. (I just sometimes find less-than-serious responses to posts on this BB - think we've all found more of that than we'd like...). Yeah, EQ on tube amps would be part of what I was talkin' about - like where to set the presence levels to shape tones, especially on the British...

I know this is an old thread, but I just read it and looked at the photo Alan put up. I gotta say the unit really is "butt-ugly"...That's sort of how this thread started, right?

Considering, objectively, the whole "package" (including chops, range of mastered styles, originality, compositional technique and back catalog, as well as skill and output as producer) there is only one guitarist who would qualify as "the Best": Steve Morse ...no contest... Gelon

It's got one...

Is that a serious question? Shall I list the tube amps I have owned/do own, and problems/benefits, or are you just trying to take the piss outta me? The biggest plus I see is that the sucker is easier on your back (my Twins weigh around 100 lbs each). Used to be that studio players had to hire a...

The V-Amp really isn't noisy at all, not if you diddle the parameters correctly. In fact, the noise floor on the sucker is way lower than it is on most, if not all, of the tube amps modeled. I'd read some other complaints on noise, but after working with mine, with very little effort, I'd have...

That's interesting - I wouldn't have imagined there was that much difference. I'd be interested in what Skippy thinks, as he's using Quantum drives in his units. I also would have thought that the slower spindle speed might have had a negative impact on recording and/or playpack. Thanks for the...

Yes, I'm interested (I've got a D1624 and have read Skippy's posts on the mods he did.). Let us know what happens with the Quantum. Thanks, Gelon

C1 Pad Thanks for the quick reply, Alan. Yeah, I assumed the left position was a HP filter (don't know why I wrote LP...). 150hz; aren't they normally 100hz on condensors? Why did you decide on 150hz? Just curious...Thanks again, Gelon

C1 Pad Sorry to put this up here, but as it's the most recent thread on SP mics (and my searches have proved fruitless...) I've got a question on the C1 I know you guys can answer: I guess the C1 originally shipped without a pad, as I recall Rip Rowan complaining about that in his review, but...

Yeah, check out what Skippy said (he's probably posted more stuff on that unit than anyone else!). I picked one up, after asking Skippy a bunch of questions, and it's really a very amazing recorder. They are coming with 30gig hard drives now, so you've got a lot of recording time, especially if...

Thanks, again, Skippy. I've decided to stick with the Studio 24 for the time being. I think it will be pretty workable, and with the stereo channels and a couple of patchbays, I should be able to do some decent work. I need to develop a working style anyway, and very often (as Stravinsky often...
