I bought some cable and connectors to make a few custom patch cables for my pedal board. This is NOT my first attempt at soldering cables but this is the first time that I have ever had any trouble. I keep getting a weak signal from the finished cable. If I plug in on my distortion channel it...

I am almost certain that is what they did but it has been years since I had one.

I don't make excuses, I just apologize to those who have to hear me on a daily basis. This caught my attention, how long have you been playing? I haven't thought about guitar or the strings hurting my fingers in years. Does anyone else have issues with this?

I had one of these as a kid. Didn't the cassettes go along with books and if you pushed the colored buttons it changed the voice of the character reading the book? I remember having some sort of Sesame Street book and the colors corresponded to like Big Bird, Oscar the grouch, grover and maybe...

I suspect this will all depend on what your intended use is. I use a cheap direct box all the time but I typically only use the direct tracks for editing/reamping distorted guitar. It doesn't seem to make a huge difference in this application.

I will check out some of these boxes, thanks for the suggestions. I have to stay in this price range because I am selling some other gear to fund it. The stuff I am getting rid of, isn't really worth all that much but perhaps I can scrap together enough to pick up something passable. Worst case...

I've never had any problems with it, but I guess it depends on what you are trying to do with it? I mainly use my "direct" track for editing and re-amping purposes.

Thanks for the response! My main reasoning for wanting a rack unit is because it is going in the effects loop. Any delay I have ever stuck "in front" of the amp (using the amps dist) has sounded terrible. In some styles I know it works but I play with high gain heads and it just sounds like...

I have never used a 3630 so I won't comment on its performance but if you are looking mainly for gating purposes (or expansion, which will be better for drums anyways) you should check out a DBX 274 Project 1 quad gate/expander. It has 4 channels of gate/expansion which gates but manages to stay...

Hmm is that a Lexicon? Not seeing any on e-bay right now. Thought of another wanted but not really needed feature. What do they call it where the delay tails continue even after you bypass? I think that would be pretty sweet as well.

Looking for a Rackmount delay for my guitar rig. My only real stipulations are that it needs to have a foot switchable bypass, foot switchable tap tempo and is under $200 new or used. I don't need any crazy rhythmic delays. Mostly using it to fill out leads in a live setting. I had a TC...

The radial RMP works pretty good....or if you don't already own a DI which I am assuming you don't then the Radial X-amp is a DI and Reamp box built into one unit.

I see what you are saying but I am still kind of working through it and getting a feel. Thank you for the info. I think this is going to come in handy on some of the stuff I am working on.

So I can clear the warp markers on the distorted track all together?

I know that Start, Alt and then + or - changes the grid value between quarter, eighths, sixteenths etc....(im on windows PT 8 Le btw) but is there a shortcut for changing the grid to triplets? I did a google search and searched the PT shortcut PDF but I am not having any luck. I am assuming that...

I have just started experimenting with Elastic Audio to tighten up guitar tracks but I have a question that I haven't been able to find much info on. For distorted guitars I typically mic my amp and also have a DI output straight off my guitar recording to two separate tracks. I make the two...

Ok apparently my memory isn't so good. I went ahead and cranked the volume on my power amp and I was suddenly reminded that my cheap EMU soundcard that I use for general computer listening gets pretty noisy. I can't hear the little pops and clicks if I keep the power amp at a reasonable volume DUH!

Slightly off topic but would you guys use the same approach for an amplifier that is powering a set of studio monitors? I guess I never researched it but I usually run my monitor power amp at about 1 o'clock on the left and right channels. Probably a bad assumption but I just assumed going full...

Yes and as I stated it sounded like complete asshole. I didn't say don't buy one though, I just gave out my experience on the one that I encountered. Maybe I am a little biased though, I have a Marshall, Mesa, and an ENGL as my main amps and I just recently relieved myself of a Framus cobra...

just waiting for the next shot where you guys drop your instruments and go all Zombie on the crowd.
