Cool! Man I bet that rig sounds great!

Hey Dirty, what kind of amp are you using? A buddy of mine has a Mesa Triaxis preamp and a G-Major/FCB1010. He has it setup just like you. It seems a little more complicated using the amp channel switching... but the options are almost infinite. Cool stuff. I've got a pretty simple rig (by...

BTW... both those ART controllers I mentioned are discontinued... so you have to go the Ebay route.

I've got a TC Electronics G-Major that I use in my guitar rig. I was like you when I got my first rack mount processor several years ago and just wanted to be able to switch between a few patches-- nothing fancy. So I bought an ART X-12. It worked great. Five presets (buttons) per bank--...

I'd try some different mics in addition to the 57. I'm amazed at the tonal qualities different mics provide. When I record my amp, I usually use 3 mics-- an e609, an md421, and an m160. Each one provides something different. For instance, I really don't like the e609 by itself, but it adds...

I've got a closed back 2x12 cabinet with v30s and I love it. It is built like a tank and it sounds good. I'd like to try different speakers in it just for experimentation, but I have zero complaints about the cabinet.

I heard that Floam can really help acheive good black/death metal guitar tones!! :D

I want to record really good black/death metal tones... do you think floam will help my guitar recordings? Will it sound better than my Behringer amp does now? I don't want to buy a good amp and I don't believe the people who tell me I need a good amp to record pro-quality guitar tones... so...

So that is how you get that "tin can" sound!! Awesome! I have to have one! I think Guitar Center is having a "one time only" huge clearance sale this weekend :D maybe I can pick one up.

I have the EG330c model that I bought around 1998. It's a tank. It goes camping with me every summer here in Oklahoma where the heat and humidty can't be good for a guitar. But it's survived every summer. It plays great (nice action and neck) and everyone who plays it loves how it feels. It...

Hey Light, what would you consider as a set of really "great" single coils? I'm thinking about changing the pups in my American Strat. I can't really say there is something I don't like about the tone, I just want to experiment. I love John Frusciante's tone and would consider that my ideal...

Who told you that the Mackie 1202VLZ has "very nice preamps?" I would question that person's hearing... lol I have a 1202VLZ and I'd rather use an M-Audio DMP3 for recording ANY source. I really am not crazy about the VLZ pres. But the pres in the Mackie VLZ were a step-up from the Behringer...

OK, that is freaking cool!!! I've played around with Izotope Ozone a little bit but I didn't know it had that feature. I may have to buy it now! Thanks!!

Here is what I'm talking about. It's much more handy to have it all in one window. I'm sure you could do it with a different instances of SPAN or something else and superimpose the graphs in Photoshop or something... but this is so much easier. The picture I attached really helps my novice...

Hey... similar question... I'm not trying to hijack the thread... Is there a spectrum analysis tool (plug-in or stand-alone) that allows you to compare more than 1 frequency spectrum? The only one I know of is Har-Bal and it's actually an EQ-- but you can overlap two spectrums... which I...

I've got an SWR Strawberry Blonde. I've had it for a couple years. I bought it after test-driving every acoustic amp I could find (the only one I tried that has been mentioned in this thread so far is the Trace Elliott). Anyway, the Strawberry Blonde was the only one that sounded "natural" to my...

Kiss my ass, dude! I wouldn't help you if you were dehydrated in the desert and I had an ice chest full of cold bottled water... LOL!!

Well then why are you asking people if they suggest that you buy a new tube amp? :rolleyes: You could've saved us all some time (and bandwidth) by starting a thread titled: "I think I want a new tube amp but can't afford it." BTW, you don't have to spend a thousand dollars to get a good tube amp.

LOL!! I totally agree!! You can always tell which BBS members have never owned a nice tube amp-- they are ones who post on the message boards about the great tones they get out of their POD or Vamp. I realize amp modellers and cheap practice amps have their place and are neccessary at times...

LOL! This is a recording forum... ya know?? That's like going to an acting forum and asking if anyone has heard of Keanu Reeves. I REALLY like HarBal for the ability to compare two different sources. For instance, I like to use it while mixing to see where the snare and guitars are fighting...
