Some initial responses, Overall, i am really pumped, it definitely is a different sound than my other amps, and better still, it is a lot of 9good) sounds in one. It absolutely changes a great deal with some simple knob adjustments, lots of variation. Pretty simple and straight forward...

I picked up one (no name, some guys builds them and sells them on ebay) and it does ok. There is no simple answer for "great tone at bedroom volume" attenuators can suck some tone, but just turning down the overall volume and keeping the speakers from moving as much air will affect what you...

There is some truth here, but it isn't that simple. The non-dramaticised truth that has been stated ont hese pages a million times is that talent and skill with instruments are greater than any equipment. And when it comes to gear, many, many incredible sounding recordings have been done with...

THat is great, i never made the connection he looks so perfectly dorky in the commitments, love it. Pretty good songwriter. Daav

Won one of these on ebay last night, waiting for it to come. I meant to shop around for a nother month but damn the iphone ebay app that just makes it so easy to follow every interestig auction down to the last second. I'm not sure if this is going to be the end-all for me, but from everything...

Look for feedback in high gain settings, because you will get em! Sometimes that is awesome, sometimes it can be a PITA, but suaully easy to control once you know where to stand/what volumes makes sense for the guitar/amp combination, etc. Like everyone says they are like any guitar...

How about recording direct? Try it if you aren't happy with the mic sound. Daav

I'm looking for some ideas to downsize 3-4 low to midgrade tube amps to one flexible amp that does two sounds, and does both well-- or alternately does one sound (clean) well and takes pedals well to get the two sounds. Lets say budget tops out at about $1200 and i would probably shop and play...

He's a light house operator or some such, and forgot to turn the light on. Maybe a plane crashed or ship ran aground. Something along the lines of dude with responsibility forgetting to do the action he was responsible for. Daav

The honesty and fairness advice is spot on. My bro in law has a pretty nice Gibson acoustic that hadn't been touched in years, whenever i was over and picked it up, it was just painful to play. I suggested to my sis in law that she should get him a set up for his birthday and recommended someone...

One really simplified way to think of it is as a path. In a mixer, you have all these inputs, a simple bus might take 2 or more mono or stereo inputs and mix them together to one output bus (left and right). This would have a single output bus. Now if you want to take the inputs and do...

You've also got to give a lot of credit to Kathleen Brennan (his wife). Waits started in his earlier career and wrote and performed some amazing songs, but when she came into the picture everything he does is just amazing (IMHO). I've always found that to be an interesting counter to the...

Looks very purty. I took my old white CIJ strat from the late eighties, stripped it to the wood, sanded for a week, and finished the body, then switched out the pickups with a set from Bill Lawrence, new white pickguard and i have the twin to yours, maple neck as well. Maybe i will take a quick...

probably not particularly new or interesting, but i am generally pretty pleased by most MIM Jazz basses, used for as little as $200, they do ok stock, and can really sound great with decent replacement pick ups. daav

Nice thought, and i even considered the stereo 4X12 option, but i really just want a 2X12, this is for my home studio/jam space and i don't need or have room for a 4X 12 (yet!). Daav

Very nice! had no idea those were around. Little spendy, but it does what i want. Thanks! Daav

I know this is death normally, but is there some sort of switch that will do this? I don't mind siwtching out some plugs/cables, but i am worried that one day i will forget and try to play through the unloaded amp. Ideally, i would like to go trhgouh my pedals, then to a A/B/Y box, then to...
