I owned a tampa for about 6 mos last year. I ending up selling it because I just was not impressed with the preamps. i also had some technical problems with it as well. the preamps are avg in quality in my opinion, and as stated previously, weak on gain. i own a RNP/RNC combo and a joe Meek...
I've had a lot of fuzz pedals and have been interested in them for quite some time. The current fuzzfaces aren't worth the name that graces their label. Hands down for me, I'll take a fulltone '69 pedal over anything. It's a germanium fuzz pedal modeled afetr the tone Hendrix got at Monterey...
i own the les paul standard plus. the guitar comes stock with the burstbucker pickups. They are definately a rock n roll pick up. I love 'em and they are just what I need to get the job done. I write stuff similar to the black crowes and zeppelin, and there really is nothing better. they...
thses amps are simply stunning. they're made in ohio and are top notch quality and sound. go to his website and you can hear clips. i myself own a rivera which hands down is better in tone imho compared to any fender or marshall currently on the market. i play blues rock (ie black crowes)...
and the list grows while my pockets shrink.......
1 X BLUE baby bottle
1 X AT4040
1 X ATM25
1 X ATM23
1 X SM57
1 X SM7B
2 X OKTAVA MCO12
1 X SENNHEISER MD421
1 X SHURE GREEN BULLET
the other option, which i think i'm going to go with myself, is the hipshot trilogy. it works with cam levers and allows you over 700 tunings on your guitar that stay. you can install it yourself and it doesn't modify the guitar's body in any way.
Rivera chubster 40. This amp has taken the place of every modern Fender, Vox and Marshall I owned. It's the only amp you'll ever need (unless of course you haven't bought a Dr. Z yet :)
After several months of debating on which preamp to buy, I went with the m audio tampa. Last night after about ten minutes of being on and recording a live session, I smell smoke! So...shut everything down and what do you know, the Tampa has smoke coming from it. Needless to say, it shut...
hands down the two top wah makers are:
1. Fulltone-The clyde deluxe
2. Geoffery Teese's collection.
I have the Wizard wah which is great because it works very well with humbucking guitars as well as single coils. They are all true bypass, handmade, and blow any of the mass produced wahs away...
I have a Roland Jv-1010. My current keyboard controller is an old Roland Sampling keyboard that is on its way out the door. I need to replace it with something economical that I can simply use to run my JV-1010. Not alot of bells and whistles. I just need it for my home studio. Any...
are you talking guitar effects? As far as preamps go, I'm using a TAMPA by m-audio. I do the blues rock thing and I'm pretty happy with what sounds I get. Old mics are gonna be the key for this one. Keeping the recordings as live as possible will help as well. Eric Clapton's "From the...
Hey there,
I went through a similar experience trying new amps about 2 yrs ago. I went though marshall, fender, and vox. I was dissapointed by much of the current quality standards these companies are pursuing. I had heard about rivera and the reviews on Harmony Central were very positive...
the decision has been made. I opted for the Lexi. I know this may be despite what many have felt around here. I really need a rotary speaker to give me a leslie on the B3 sounds in my roland JV-1010. The TC unit does naot have this. In additon, I got the guy at guitar center to part with...
I will third the above two responses.
Get the guitar set up, preferably with heavier strings as this will fatten the tone a bit.-$30 Strats, teles, les pauls and semi-hollowbody guitars are the way to go. Trying to sound like Stevie ray on an ibanez or jackson guitar may be difficult if you...
how about the noise floor? I've heard the lexi is more noisy. Is the rotary speaker function any good. The reason I ask this is that besides using it as a vocal processor I was hoping to use it in conjunction with my keys for hammond b3 sounds to get the added leslie effect. But if the...
i know this has been discussed before but I'm debating between the lexicon mpx-500 and the tc electronic m-one. I'm hesitant about the tc as it does not have the rotary speaker effect. However, will i be unhappy with the quality of all the other effects if I don't go with the m-one?
Lastly...
I just got through going at all the different pres out there for rock n roll. I eventually ended up settling for the M-audio TAMPA. It's a very nice preamp, vocals sound real clear though it, it's excellent for DI bass stuff, my mic'ed guitars have never sounded so good to me, it's got and...
