I will buy any "unsensative" gear on ebay. Guitar FX, studio outboard, Amps etc. But i would never buy a microphone or monitors, guitars etc from ebay. The only thing i buy in shops is guitars as you can try them etc. I buy mics etc factory sealed from trusted online stores.

The DBX 266 is crap though

All you need is one bad post.

I think what your saying is a great idea in theory, but i think the best way you can accomplish this is buy sparking up a good relationship with a shop that allow you to take the mic back if you are not happy with it. I've done it before as long as you return it as you recieved it.

I think Edward Scissorfeet would have been a more challenging role for Depp.

I aint going to belt out vocals in a shop the way i do at home or on stage, therefore the shop test is useless. They most probably wont have all your equipment setup in the shop either, ready for you to go on a test drive.

what is your latency - i generally have mine set at least 20 - as you really cant detect that amount of delay (lower latency = more clicks & pops, Higher latency = Higher Sound Quality). What ASIO drivers are you using?

Your generally wanting an amp with a lower wattage for miking aswell - 100 Watts is an awful lot. Generally with tube amps you get a better sound from miking up a smaller amp and driving it just before it distorts - that's where the "warmth" kicks in, than having a power stack at a very low...

I've never been happy with DI - ing guitars myself. I've had some good results with a samsamp driver for my bass. But amp modeling etc just does not do it. I have a old Randall practice amp, i' don't know what they're like nowadays but they're not a forerunner in my must-have amps list. What...

You could wear ear buds & combine them with the use of ear defenders supplyed in many DIY shops. :D

I use it more as an effect as anything else. It really good in a bass rack. It's not very transparent which i like.

Most compressors nowadays include gates and limiters. The gate is always first, then compression, then the limiter.

I always used a 57 for live vocals cause of i've got a high range (without falsetto), i liked the sound so much that i started using it for recording. I use the Beta version aswell it just depends on what kind of mood i'm in. I really don't think you can get a condenser microphone that's good...

Insert your head & mic into a shoe box (or equivelent). I'm sure this is how the beach boys recorded all their albums. Brian Wilson was adament that all vocals were recorded in this way. :D That didn't happen

>Way< missed a word

Point to point soldering offers low stability (which in analogue can be a good thing sound wise) you have to apply more heat when point to point soldering which in turn decreases the spec of components. Eg resistor values can change +/- 2% of their rating when soldered. So if you have a circuit...

It's nothing to do with the effects i'm using it's the preamp in my amp, and this model is known to be noisey at low levels. i reciently bought a reverb pedal that basically shunted me into going down the route of noise reduction as the amp hissing has always been a problem. as a test i placed...

It's my amp, i've replaced all tubes etc, it's better for gigging, but i love the tone & won't part with it, it has an effect send - return. I bought a holy grail reverb which really made a impact aswell though and has prompted me to have a look at noise reduction, electroharmonics are really...

Looks promising but costs £170 :eek: I want to live in america, just until i buy all the equipment i need then buy a big 110V transformer. :rolleyes:
