Also, if you're in the sub-$200 price range, don't leave out the Lexicon LXP-15. It's a good multi-effects unit from the '90s and can be bought on ebay, much (subjectively) better than the Alesis and TC units you are looking at.

For acoustic guitar and the kind of vocals that I imagine will accompany it (non-screaming type) I would guess a condenser is the way to go. MXL v67 is a good budget condenser, and I don't agree that you can't record good tracks with inexpensive mics.

Midiverb IV was the first multi-effects unit I bought for my home recording project. I still have it, and it sits nicely in the company of a Lexicon PCM90 and PCM70. I still think it is a great sounding unit. I've never owned an M300 or M350, so to be fair I cannot comment on how that holds up.

I agree. I've owned the Epi Dot as my "beater" guitar for about a year and a half now. I was going to replace the stock pups, but I adjusted the overall heights and then tweaked the pole pieces and am fine with them now. If you watch a few seconds of this clip, it is the stock Epi through an...

I've had a 414ce since 2004 and it is a great guitar. I played acoustic guitars for about a month on the weekends, narrowing down my top five and what I was going to spend. The Taylor won, obviously. Great sounding instrument.

Actually, there were a few minor parts in the power supply that needed to be replaced, so I took it to Hayden at Florida Electronics. It is a nice mic, handles high SPLs really well, and has a really cool vibe to it.

EZ Willis posted this at A+A and I thought it was somewhat relevant to this thread, especially the "how do we keep the human factor in recording" question that the narrator poses. It is a film by Dave Grohl, and one that I'm excited to see. Sound City Official Trailer - YouTube

Lol at us putting names on our guitars. Dig your Gibson, btw.

I fixed the elastic suspension and my soldering expert amp/electronics tech re-soldered the loose wire to the capsule's connection point and the mic is up and running. I have only had a chance to say "check, testing, sibilance" into it because it is a 'working weekend' for me, but I look...

Except when what's inside the box is broken. :( The box wasn't damaged at all, but must've been dropped pretty hard because it broke one side of the elastic suspension mount holding the capsule causing the wire to the capsule to break from its solder. I held the wire to the capsule and it...

Absolutely. ^ ^ ^

:) It's a great sounding and playing guitar, it just looks dated as hell. Image still has a lot to do with things so it doesn't get much action from me these days, certainly not in the church band I play with.

I'm surprised he made it this long without a ban for all of the link plugging he did.

Once UPS delivers it I will be if the original owner hasn't already. I know he put a NOS Brimar black plate from Bowie (@ GS) in it. It is due by end of day. :) :guitar:

:laughings: I'm laughing sympathetically, but you just don't hear stories like that too often. Poor guy. :sad:

Greg's favorite electric and my acoustic. :)

I don't have a group shot. Or a tarp.

The one I just bought predates all of this. It is a different product (both parts and design) than the Alesis/GT venture, so I'm curious to hear how it sounds. During this period, GT came up with the Model One (later renamed as "MD1") and then subsequently the MD2 and MD3, the latter two with...

The Alesis era Groove Tubes get some decent write-ups but I think the overall design was drastically different on those. I'm looking forward to hearing this one. My only GT experience was with a tube mic at GC about a decade ago when I spend a couple of hours auditioning mics. I forget the...

I don't think they write their own material, either.
