Yeah, I agree with you. Hearing it called an amp modeler was bugging me the whole time I was reading the thread. It really is just a bass preamp with DI functionality.

Sounds like a scare. One time I couldn't figure out why I'd turn on my guitar amp, and it would work fine for the first few seconds, and then a loud hiss would appear. Then I realized that for some reason the volume was all the way up, so I was just hearing a very small version of it as it...

You could always just stop working and mooch food off friends and neighbors, buy a tent and a year pass to a campground somewhere, and ride a bike from place to place. Get a laptop and plug it in to some outdoor plug near an apartment building where somebody might have a wireless network and...

That takes me back to my guitar tuner taped to guitar stand on a stool into 15W days. Ah, we all start out so humbly, until we realize that everyone else sucks!

I believe what you're looking for is more along the lines of 'room treatment' than 'soundproofing'.

No way! Fucking children is gross! I'd much prefer my women to have grown some adult body shape. Eek, at least wait to see the verdict in the Michael Jackson case before coming out.

Haha, yeah, I was thinking that before considering minute details like sweat and the volume of his amps, one should consider the fact that he played like himself.

I know I do. Clients hate it, but it gets the job done!

I'd call the too high gain sound more "fuzzy as hell" than crunchy. When I think of something that's really crunchy, it tends to be with less gain rather than more..... I think it's a mistake when people equate more gain with heavier sound, as a couple tracks of lighter gain crunch can get more...

I second just turning down the lows on the amp. Your mesa probably has a ton of low end and not enough mids.

The differences between preamps are a curious thing. In sound comparisons that I've heard, there's really only very subtle differences that come across on my phones and :( .... computer speakers.... monitors coming soon!!!!!!!) But, I'll say that a friend got an RNP, and the difference...

Yeah, Counterfit is a cool band. You scurvy dogs!

Maybe try miking an amp again. If it wasn't bright enough, you can adjust the tone controls on the amp, and move the mic more toward the center of the speaker cone. When miking a guitar cab, placement of the mic is everything. I usually start with it about half way between the center and edge...

Also, a good engineer can "visualize" a production for the given song, have a vision and idea for it in their head, and then track in ways that will bring that vision about. So a lot of times you do know what something is going to sound like, because you had a plan, and tracked it to sound that...

Yeah yeah, I see what you guys are doing. Let's all make fun of the guy who doesn't have a copy of eq magazine. REal mature! Anyway, congrats man.

Mic placement. As someone said, move it outward from the center of the cone toward the edge until you find the sound that's right. Either that or turn down the highs on the amp. When you dont have at least a solid guitar tone coming from a dynamic up against an amp, it's the amp and/or the...

One can probably do better for the same price, I'd think.

I should run some response tests in my mixing room this summer when I'm set up there again... I think it's pretty good, although it's "untreated". Big garage, carpet under me, TONS of stuff in there. The ears tell me it's pretty dead of reflections and standing waves.... too dead for...

Hard limited room mics in a 100X100X20' space, all wood floors, with a mic in the kick. No close mics. Yeah, that's the stuff. That's what I dream of at night. Actually once I did have a dream in which I saw this house with a huge like 100X75' room, wood floored, with nothing but one pillar...

I've seen thew M8 go u sed for like 300. Was fixing on getting one, but now I'm leaning back toward a racked pair of dmp3's for some pre's. I keep going back and forth, but I think I'm gonna stick with the dmp3's this time.
