    Amp reverb noise - tube problem?

    Paul Cochrane designed that amp. Not sure if this number is still good, but I imagine it is: 615-896-8555 Pretty sure he is also a member of the Gear Page forum as well.

    Volume Pedal

    Yeah, I noticed that he didn't list any sort of power section in his sig chain list, so not sure if he is using this set up into a P.A. for live performance, or as an interface for recording. IMO, the power section is a factor in volume roll off response. Personally, I have never met a volume...

    Volume Pedal

    You would get a lot more bang for the buck if you looked toward an expression pedal. Volume pedal is an option in the 11 rack signal chain, and it can be controlled with an expression pedal.This route would give you the option of controlling the parameters of other effects with the pedal when...

    The late night tube sag' question

    That's really not a long shot. Ear fatigue, for me anyway, will usually cause me to turn up a bit after playing at band volume for a while. This is true no matter if I'm at practice, or in a large venue that fills with people as the night goes on, but it has never effected the amount of clean...

    Rate my voice + cover

    Here is my tip: Don't try to back door files on unwilling recipients. Fortunately my Mac put the ninja smack down on that shit. You won't ever have to worry about me clicking anything from you ever again.

    SoulPedal

    I'll take a pass on that. From what I see on their site, the only tweaking that can be done to the Wah are the feel, and a few presets that can't be altered. The pedals that would allow you to fully tweak your Wah sound have not even been prototyped yet, and it looks like they are planning for...

    Mesa Clean channel started humming

    Mesa's don't have bias adjustments, so no need to worry about that. To test for a microphonic tube, remove any tube covers, and with nothing plugged into the amp, turn it on and allow it to warm up. Take the amp out of standby and turn up the volume. Using a pencil or light wooden dowel, gently...

    pedal questions

    As far as the sparkle drive, that is why I use two of them. As for the Strymon Timeline, yes, it will do that, and tap tempo. It can be as simple,or complex as the user needs it to be.The pedal alone will do all that you require(and a lot more). I bought mine direct from Strymon. There may be a...

    The New Tone Thread

    One way that all of the low watt Plexi clones differ (besides the obvious of not moving enough air) from the actual tone of the real thing is in dynamic response. EL84 based amps don't respond well to guitar volume roll offs. Many of them sound great when cranked, but when you back off of the...

    Yes, that is what I am talking about as well.

    pedal questions

    I have used two Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drives with great results from every amp I have tried them with.( And that is a long list) The pedal will function as a straight clean boost, straight OD, or you can dial in the amount of clean that passes unaffected, and blend in OD to taste. I have owned the...

    Show me your pedalboard!

    Lately I have just been using a tuner and enjoying the "less is more" thing. For what I am doing lately, I don't need more than a good amp and a good guitar. But just in case……..:D

    Help me get my direct guitar sound a bit more realistic sounding

    Have you considered building an iso box for the champ? Build it roomy enough for two mics and you could eliminate the Behringer, A-B box, and use the Mini Mass as an attenuator instead of a load box.(if you still needed to) That would most likely give you better results than your current method.

    Best Amp Modelers

    The Axe FX II is as good as it gets for studio,IMO.(besides having the actual amps) I think a lot of folks that dismiss it for live use are only looking at the direct to PA setup, which is a recipe for suck, to my ears. After trying several power amps with mine,(including the highly touted...

    Slim, non-rack midi switching systems?

    Where you are going to run into difficulties is finding one device that will do everything that you need it to do. The Octaswitch does not support midi, and IIRC is only capable of 8 presets.The lack of midi will be a problem should you ever incorporate pedals that allow midi control of...

    Slim, non-rack midi switching systems?

    You may need to rethink the layout. The only way to really manage that many pedals is with a switching system. Not a problem if you want to engage or disengage one at a time but, if you want to engage multiple pedals , while disengaging others, and switch functions on the amp, you will not be...
