    Crate Blue Voodoo anyone??

    It is always tough to judge just based off one encounter but I knew a guy who was using one and it sounded like pure dog shit no matter how he tried to set it. Noisy as hell! Of course, this could have any number of things to do with the condition of the tubes etc... I can't answer for their...

    My ongoing ebay saga with my Les Paul purchase

    Not to be negative but it sounds like you are being taken for a ride. You paid for UPS shipping not USPS...that is already a problem in my mind. Not to mention....way too much time has passed. I am sure he is responding because he has your money and you haven't made any move toward getting it...

    drum overhead stand suggestions

    I use the round 20lb weights that are made for a weight lifters dumbell. I have a bunch of the onstage tripod booms that the tripod base will come completely off the stand. Slide the base off, slip the weight around the middle, slide the base back on and you are good to go. I got mine from...

    help with a tascam porta 02

    You never stated what you are trying to do? What do you wish to accomplish by hooking the Porta 02 to your dell pc? Isn't that Tascam one of the old tape based four tracks or am I getting model numbers confused?

    Avalon AD2022 manual or info?

    Richard thanks for the info. We are working on some bass tracks first thing tomorrow morning so it looks like we will be able to give it a go in that position. Have you ever ran both the unbalanced and balanced outputs at the same time or is this a bad idea? Ideally I would like to record the...

    Avalon AD2022 manual or info?

    I have a Avalon Ad2022 mic pre-amp on loan for the next two or three days but my buddy doesn't have the manual. He said I could DL it online but I am not turning up anything except spec sheets. He is at work right now so I am looking for some answers so I can start messing around. My main...

    POD tuner

    I own a 2.0 and I am pretty sure there is setting where you can adjust the tuner in cents. Perhaps your factory defaults have been changed? I have a Korg rack mount strobe tuner that I always use so I can't really vouch one way or the other for the Pod.

    custom footswitch help ......

    James, if you are willing to open up the amp you can probably get to the contacts or terminals where the boost switch is connected. I don't have any idea if there is point to point wiring or if it is all soldered on a PCB though......the easiest thing to do would be to parallel that push...

    custom footswitch help ......

    Hey didgijimmy.....taking a quick glance at the manual it appears that the footswitch will only operate lead/normal channel and reverb on/off. I am sure you could modify it to switch other things but this would involve internal amp mods which I personally wouldn't recommend. In my case...... all...

    custom footswitch help ......

    Nope thats why I used the different types of switches. The one in the middle which will be used the most is tall enough that even when you stand on it, you can't depress the other 2 red ones. To stomp the red ones which won't be used very often, you just step off to the side of the pedal. Not a...

    custom footswitch help ......

    Neatened up a little bit.....doesn't look nearly as cool as the Engl switcher but it only cost me $30 as opposed to $200. I could have made mine switch exactly like theirs but I didn't foresee me ever using those extra switches. Middle switch swaps from Lead Channel to Clean and at the same...

    used mic/pre

    Do your homework before you buy. If it is to good to be true it probably is. I buy both used and new and with the exception of a few small things through the years I have never been completely burned on a piece of gear. (knock on wood)

    custom footswitch help ......

    You guys are ruthless! Yes I have the cash to own the amp but geeze...I don't know how to build the damn thing. The footswitch is a completely different story. $20.00 worth of parts this morning at the local electronics store and I am already in business. Besides I have owned amps that were...

    custom footswitch help ......

    Light...thanks I think I have it figured out. Your link knocked me out of my haze of ideas haha. This is way simpler than how I was looking at it. I don't really need to switch within the 4 channel modes, I just need to toggle two at once. The fact that there were two sets of 1/4" footswitch...

    Finding the "sweet spot" for micing technique?

    Im with Ermghoti...that is the only way I have seen this "technique" referenced. Perhaps your buddy got the story mixed up?

    custom footswitch help ......

    Thanks Roguetitan. I had no idea they would have a manual for a footswitch lol. I guess what I really need is for someone who owns one to open it up and snap a picture for me. I believe I can put something together and save my 200 bucks lol. I am guessing that there is some sort of common wire...

    I just bought an Engl E609 Ritchie Blackmore model amp. The amp sounds fantastic but I have already come across one slight problem. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Engl-Ritchie-Blackmore-Signature-100W-Guitar-Amp-Head?sku=481519 Engl claims the amp is a 4 channel but I really think...
