    GLS mics?

    I'll agree with all the other annoying things you mentioned, but the swivel head of the 57 never has. I'll take that back, it's annoying when newbies post "I think my 57 is broken" because they think the head should be stationary.

    which amp?

    It's very interesting how, out of all the amps in the world, you came to recommend this one even though you have no clue whatsoever as to what the original poster is looking for. It's cool that you like your amp but it's hardly for everyone. I for one do not like that particular amp. I've heard...

    which amp?

    I think you need to do a LOT of reading before you decide to purchase an amp. You don't seem to be very knowledgeable about the difference between tube amps and solid state ones and stacks vs. combos. Read people's posts, go to a music shop and play as many amps as you can. Educate yourself...

    GLS mics?

    Why on earth would the swivel grill annoy you? I can't think of any situation where I thought, "those damn swivel grills annoy me". Sorry to rant but it just seems like a really silly thing to let bother you. To the guys asking if 57's sound good on toms take a listen to the track Peace and...

    Modeling vs. Real Tube for live vs. recording

    Having been an studio engineer and running live sound for several years now I can say that I still prefer the way a good tube amp sounds in nearly every single situation I can think of. I have used POD's a few times in recordings and they worked fairly well but nothing that a good tube amp...

    After seeing some people selling there's at a lower price I've decided to drop the price to $100.

    FS: Audix D6

    I've had 2 of these mics sitting around for the longest time and I think I've only ever had 2 drummers with double kick drums. So to raise funds for yet another slutty preamp I'm getting rid of one of my D6's. It's the nickel finish one and has never left my studio. The mic is in pristine...

    Mic preamps

    I just sold one on here a few days ago, and it seemed to be built very well and even did a few remote location recordings with it without a problem. It's actually a fairly nice preamp for bass di. I used it many times to dirty up the signal and give the bass tone a little tube overdrive.

    guitar recording

    That is a very obvious statement, and really doesn't help the OP much at all. Did it occur to you that he may be stuck recording his guitars the way he's doing it now? Now, to the OP. Try moving around the room, and if you're facing your monitors maybe try rotating away from them until you hit...

    Crate V33H Anyone have one?

    I had a chance to work with one a few weeks ago. The distortion was kind of crappy but the clean and reverb was actually quite nice for an amp costing so little. I'd imagine some good overdrive pedals in front of the clean channel would probably yield some decent tones.

    Recording clean guitars...

    Absolutely. Some amps have legendary clean tones that could never be duplicated by going di. Not to mention there's just something about how a speaker moves the air. That being said going clean di isn't terrible and is often passable, much more so than trying to go di dirty. BTW, I don't think...

    FS: Shure SM57

    I'm getting rid of one of my SM57's. The mic has never left my studio and is in pristine condition. I believe I still have the little leather pouch that it came in too. I'm asking $60 shipped to anywhere in the 48 states. Will ship to Canada for if the buyer pays shipping. I only accept paypal...

    advice on choosing amp

    Actually this isn't exactly the case for the AC30. When pushed to live volumes the AC30's tend to break up a little. It's a sound I actually prefer but I wouldn't say it had quite a bit of clean headroom. Having to use an AB switch for the 30 also sucks a little. All that being said it was by...

    410 or 212?

    It's a combo, and while you might be able to unplug the speakers you'll still have to lug them around. BTW, most amps I've heard with the presence dimed sounds harsh. Why would you crank the presence all the way up? On a different note, I've recorded plenty of tele's that sounded wonderful so...

    Stop me....

    Michael Wagener was telling a story about recording the latest Kings X album and mentioned that the bassist(his name slips my mind)had something like 8 year old strings on his bass yet they still recorded it. Does it sound that bad?

    FS:Art Pro Channel

    What's going on guys, been a while since I've been around. My studio's blowing up and I haven't had time to do much besides record and shop for new gear. Just upgraded my preamps to some API's and Great Rivers so I'm selling some of the ones I no longer use. The first one to go is my Art Pro...
