If it is switched, do you hear/feel the switch cycling when you stomp it? A lot of times the felt or other actuation spacer under the pedal compresses to the point it won't push the switch down far enough to cycle. I'm guessing here. I don't have that wah, but all the wahs I have had...

Avoid the Rogue at all costs. It is absolute junk, as the fingerboard radius and the radius of the sitar bridge are different, so you can never get the effect to work properly with all six strings at the same time. :( It's a total non-starter. I went through two of them, gave up. The best...

Mostly nonsense. Don't bother.

My own attitude is that there's Amplitube, then there's everything else, which I don't find worth the disc space. They're also having a sale this weekend.

Ask here.

Most recent was this Seymour Duncan DI. Sent it back. Bypass throws a HUGE discharge spike the first time it's cycled, then throws a smaller spike every time. Previous runs didn't do this, but apparently all of these do. $199.99 MSRP and it's less useful than a BDI21.:mad:

Yes, but the "reviewers" on MF are generally idiots with no qualifying experience or useful frame of reference. Everything is "awesome" if it doesn't blow up. Sad, but true :( I was hoping for something from SoundOnSound or at least an actual audio mag of some sort, but these are totally off...

Long Deal? $99.99... It appears that these are not the same microphones as previous ones of the same names...but does anyone know if these are decent microphones and not just another crap drumkit set from China with generic capsules and inflated MSRPs? I can't find any real reviews on these...

Why is everyone's house so much cleaner than mine?

Yes, but it's incorrect to the extent that Cor-Tek designed and built a lot of Fender instruments that had nothing to do with Fender designs nor tooling. They were just fairly generic Cor-Tek instruments, pretty much the same as they make for nearly every other brand, merely with the headstock...

Untrue. For many years Cor-Tek ("Cort") has made huge numbers of Fender US-market contract instruments in Korea and in their PT Indonesian facility, and Dyna-Gakki currently makes the MIJ US-market Fenders. Some different contractors make Fender guitars for the non-US market. This is just for...

Pure. Direct is the way most electric basses on most recordings have been done since forever. Using a microphone on an amp in a studio is a pain in the neck at best due to the unruly characteristics of bass frequencies in an enclosed space. If you have a choice, go with a passive bass. If...

This is a great forum for discussing all software modelers, but are there any comparable comprehensive ones for hardware modeler/MFX devices? Many thanks for some good leads!

CAD Equitek e60: $69.95, shipped, today...nominal MSRP $299. I was thinking it might be a good choice for a speaker isolation cabinet I'm going to build, due to its size.

I won't do that exactly, because as soon as I do, invariably the asshats who are already trying to pick a fight always howl, "Oh, you think that's great? Haw, haw, haw! You're so lame! They SUCK! That chick has fake tits! (or the singer's a junkie, or someone's a homo, or [X genre] blows, or...

You obviously care enough to make a couple stupid rants about it. Yes, "former": Actually I got out of the business because my mother got cancer and my father got Alzheimer's disease. I spent fifteen years of solid, unremitting hell dealing with that. Music didn't seem that important. Go...

No. Music has changed a lot since then, but what I was doing exactly the opposite: I was looking for new music from new (or foreign) acts in a format that would offset the then-terminal corporate doldrums in broadcasting. It worked, then ran its predictable cycle into the dirt in a few years...

Process v. Outcomes Yeah, what is the point? Do you want to record crap no one would ever want to listen to? That's what I don't understand. When their product is mediocre or worse, why don't they want to get better? :confused: Why don't they want to focus on the stuff that would give their...

Thanks for providing a perfect example. :rolleyes:

I wasn't giving any advice, either.
