    The best way to distort a 30W head?

    Thanks for the advices, I'm a n00b with tube-amps.. I like the clean sounds, but my band plays mostly all-out rock-metal stuff, and a decent OD/distorted sound is what I really need... guess I'll be bagging all the pedals I've got and try them out at the rehealsal place.... I think I was...

    The best way to distort a 30W head?

    I got my Sovtek mig-30 in working order with new power-tubes.:) Tried two sets of Svetlanas, and ended keeping the Sovtek 5881:s. Unbiased, I heard no differences of any kind between the different tubes.:confused: Unfortunately, I don't seem to find a good OD/distorted sound!..:mad: ..the...

    My first tour experience!

    Hello all! I thought this might be a place to share your n00b experiences on touring? Pros, cons, whatever caveats have you bumped into.:D Was it fun, or all work and no play?.. etc. Also comments would be appreciated from seniors? I just had my first, a 4day mini-tour, with one Norwegian...

    Aaarghh.. Bad Sovtek, curse Ebay...

    So, I bought a Sovtek mig-30, from Ebay.. ..from russia. Yeah, shoulda expected trouble. Well, hooked it up to a cab, set the voltage to 220V, put on power, turned all pots to zero, turned on the standby, and ZZATT!! ..there goes the "valve" fuse... Turned it into a little stronger, put on...

    Gone slightly Hardcore?...black?

    Oh, surely not!.. what were we thinking?:eek: Do not worry, we're planing to move to states, sit down with a cup of expresso and make plans on the subject of our music relating to the maximized cashflows of mainstream boyband-sofisticated metal. Also the sleekness and outlook of general habitus...

    I Have A Predjudice Against Tube-Pre Hybrids...

    Well, I like using tube preamps for distortion/OD. And got a bass amp with a tube pre, as well as a SS... The tube pre definetly sounds different than the SS, better, not sure about that.. a bit more clonky mids and a hint of growl, less bass, zero crispy highs.

    Helps!?.. I'm screwed.

    Yeah, you're right on the throwing some lightning bolts around.. Can't really kick out the guitarist, since it's kind of "His project" -making all the lyrics and guitar-lines..:rolleyes: ...well, we were playing with another bands gear, not our own, and the soundmen were allover the place...

    Helps!?.. I'm screwed.

    Arggh!.... Our band threw the worst gig in the history of ANY band ever! ...second time in the row.. ...We played in a nearby village as the closing act, no soundcheck. I, as the bassplayer can't hear the drums since our "lead guitarist/singer", drunk as fuck, turns his amps to 11, and plays...

    Dabbling with orchestrals..-metal.

    Dude, thanks for the reply! Yes, I was using Reapers "virtual MIDI keyboard" and playing that with the keyboard of my laptop...:rolleyes: So, as a beginner I still tend to follow the guitar/bass line with the instruments. ...might try out a solo violin there. I'm too eager to post my mixes...

    Metal Mix

    It's a clean mix, gotta hand it to you. And AWESOME catches there in the midst of things. More bass!... ..prticurally, particulally..shit, since your guitars have been cleaned out of any serious bottom, something needs to give more thickness here.. Damn nice playing.

    Mig-30 loud enough for a band?

    YESS!! Scored it on Ebay, "new, no played" all original parts built in 1992 Mig-30 tube head, mint. On the way. Now, the cabs...? There'd be this one one sale near by... with a Celestion G12K-85 and a G12T-75:s in it? and a maching Soviet star!:D Or, for my "miced Pignose in a...

    Bass amp vs. guitar amp -- what's the difference, really?

    So, as answered in so many ways.. no, there is no significant differences in gtr/bass amps, except for the (possibly) frequencies of tone controls. Then, there are the obvious characteristics posted here. -Power -Speaker size. -Open/closed construction. ...that are, only, characteristics...

    What is this chord?

    So, there is three pages of this... Go find that proggie where you place dots on a fretboard and it tells you what the chord is. ..can't remember the name of the program, since I couldn't care less... I don't even know how A7 is fingered.:D
