+1 As one of the earlier posts suggested, also be careful not to confuse tube-amp wattage and solid-state wattage. Tube amp wattage is perceived as relatively louder.

There actually are some Matchless models and other tube amps that do not have a standby switch. However, what the previous poster neglected to mention is that the models without a standby switch use an indirectly-heated tube rectifier rather than a directly-heated tube rectifier or solid-state...

Thank you both for the great input! The guitar part is in fact a nylon string. My original thinking was to make the steel-string dobro as distinct from the standard guitar rhythm part as possible, so I grabbed the nylon string. Not the best choice in hindsight, especially when other bluegrass...

First off, I want to thank everyone who has ever provided any input or commentary on this BBS. I have played instruments for a number of years but only recently starting thinking about and digging into the recording aspect. It is looking like a long road of learning ahead of me but this BBS has...

Wow, I can fit lots of names here: Rory Gallagher, Richard Thompson, Lindsay Buckingham, Sonny Landreth, Ronnie Wood (with the Faces, not the Stones), Marc Ford (with Burning Tree, Black Crowes, Ben Harper), Stefan George (of the Conrads), Ollie Halsall (of Patto), Vinnie Vincent (of KISS...

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks!!

Does your $350 budget include buying an amp (and instrument cord) as well? If you only have $350 total, and you do not have a guitar amp and/or instrument cord, you may want to rethink going the electric route. Even though an electric guitar would be more suited to the music you listen to, $350...

Wow, that is almost half of what I paid for mine. No wonder why I cannot find one posted on the web.

Anyone have a schematic for an ART Levelar? I want to try some circuit modifications as long as it is a dirt-cheap compressor. Thanks in advance!

Nice amp... I have a Vox AC-15 TB from the mid-1990's with a single 12" Weber Alnico Blue Dog speaker and NOS Telefunken and Philips tubes. It is a wonderful amp and is certainly loud enough to compete with a non-maniacal drummer and an average bass player. You might have problems cutting...

Great guitar! Just wanted to chime in and add that these are great guitars for the money. I have a natural finish Epi Casino which fills a lot of musical voids. They are a true hollowbody with P-90s which can do everything from B.B. blues to Grant Green clean jazz and 60's British pop jangle to...

Epiphone Casinos I would second the Epiphone Casino and Epiphone Wildkat recommendations. I have a 1997 Korean Epiphone Casino that I picked up used for a very reasonable price. The P-90 single-coil pickups are not bad quality compared to what I expected. However, the electronics in the...

B1 & DMP3... I just purchased this same set-up: a Studio Projects B1 and M-Audio DMP3. Originally, I got the DMP3 from Musicians' Friend for $149.00... one of their Scratch-N-Dent models. Needless to say, Channel A did not work and I had to get a new one for $50 more. Still, for the money, I...

Thanks... THANK YOU!

I just purchased an M-Audio DMP-3 from Musician's Friend that was a nick-and-scratch model (the ones you get a discount on). However, I did not get a manual with the unit. Are there any sources for finding a copy of the manual on the 'net or elsewhere? Thanks in advance for all information.
