    Better than Les Paul

    Yeah, I was a fender man for along time! I have several sweet strats. I finally bought a LP standard. I love it. Through my Carvin head it sings for days. I'm not a big guy, but I'm stout so the weight doesn't bother me. As for the painted neck it gave me hang-ups at first but I just clean...

    4 tracks recording

    BTW: Bouncing more than twice is begging for noise and signal loss. Take it from everyone here....

    4 tracks recording

    This is crazy, I wanna know how you got the drums on 3 channels then how the hell you bounced then to one with the bass. (a 4-track can play and record but not on the same track) still ended up with 2 tracks left and were able to free them up for the vocals and still have tracks left?>...

    Tascam DA20mkII

    Okie, I found a Tascam DA20 mk II in a local pawn shop. It's a rackmount and it looks like new. Being a digital dummie I was wondering if this machine has multi-track capabilities and what should go with it. It looks like just a dat deck, but it's a Tascam so.... How much is it worth? They...

    Best amp for heavy distortion

    So this is sorta how it is.. If you want tube tone don't go with a distortion pedal (Solid state clipping through a tube pre-amp sounds like shit!) just crank it! For that over the edge sound use a Boss Super Overdrive and GE07 E.Q. pedal. (Ah-la Zakk Wylde). If you want that solid state...

    Best amp for heavy distortion

    Look, here is how it is, The Mesa Boogie Line is great for recording or being miced through a P.A. but to play out with an amp (I'm guessing you like severe saturation from your user name !) you need a marshall, or a copy ( I play a 100watt Carvin head with EL34's , very rare and british...

    Just to make sure

    Oh yeah, I would run a separate cable to each plate or you will only have one set of inputs. If there is a XLR and 1/4" in each plate then you can jumper them together as follows: Wire the XLR as before then wire a jumper wire between pin 1 and ground on the 1/4" jack, then wire a jumper...

    Just to make sure

    Skyline, 'Lo and Whasup. Anyways, yes it only matters how you wire it. If you are going to have jack plates in the control room and in the studio ( I presume so ) then wire them all stereo. That way you haave the choice of using headphones or a guitar at any 1/4" jack. If you use headphones...

    Wah pedal question

    Cooperman, The 'Mr. Crybaby Super' is avaible from musicians friend at $99. You don't have to wait though, most usic stores will match any price in musicians friend. I think I will buy one too, I like the light idea and the range adjust sounds good. (talked myself into buying something...

    Noise school... sorta

    Thanks Tucci, That sounds good but do you use natural (your own) nails? I can't have my fingernails long for various reasons so I was wondering about alternatives. I purchased thumb and three finger picks but they seem long. The make my rolls jumble up. I saw this thing in guitar magazine...

    Wah pedal question

    Oh yeah, forgot. Jim Dunlop does mak a Crybaby with an indicator light and they are great! It's the Crybaby super. It has adjustable sweep like the pros use for a wider range of wah or mow low or more highs ..etc. The Hendrix signature wah has lights too, but it also has fuzz built in...

    Wah pedal question

    God Yes!@ I'm a recovering wah-aholic! To me this is a matter of pure tone. The crababy is a hard-wired inline for real effect, that is when you move the pedal you are directly affecting you signal. The Morely uses photo-electric control ( It has a light sensor that measures the amount of...

    simple drum question

    O.K. I'm a guitar guy so I can't resist! A hum-bucker has two coils (unlike a single coil) that are wound reverse to cancel out 60hz hum. Twice the magnets and wire also equals (almost) twice the output. So, rule of thumb: Heavy music (distortion) you need a humbucker preferably at the...
