One other thing about my tube Champ is that I can't even really crank it to "tube breakup". Anything above 3 on the amp is just too loud. That was one of the reasons I was thinking about a Tonemaster. Nice to have slightly older tube amps but, yeah you need to be able to give them some vol. The...

These kinds of guitar/ amp techs don't exist in Australia. Here, everyone savagely gouges you.

I've rambled on around the clock here at times. Mainly because I'm not getting the results I want and don't know how to do shit. But since a year or 2 ago I've just been doing a lot of songs and think I might be making progress.

I get a LOT of low end and boom in my room when trying to record acoustic guitar. VERY hard to get a nice crisp sound. It's generally very boomy and very harsh in the high end. Miking amps I get tonnes of low end and boom. I bought a Drawmer 1974 specifically to help chop out or relax...

I think my Champ might be suffering from a ground problem. As can be imagined, it's in my very modest home studio...along with: PC tower PC monitor 3 monitor speakers RME Fireface Room light Air con Multiple preamps, eq's and comps Pedals So there's a lot of things plugged in. I took it out to...

Well yeah, I've heard it's great. But I'm after an amp to stick a mike in front of that has a few other prerequisites I might have specified earlier. I know you could send the output of the Eleven to an amp but, well, I don't wanna go down that road. Thanks though.

True. The point about tube amps is that they might break down but they are very repairable. There seems to be some school of thought that the new "computer" amps have a breakdown D-Day where this or that component will just not be around. How long are all the chips or whatever going to be...

Yes thanks. I am maybe making too much of what I read about people referring to the Tonemasters as being landfill waiting to happen.

I have a 424mkiii and a 464 (Japanese version). At this point I just basically run vst drums from my DAW into them and then back into the DAW. Doesn't really give me what I guess I'm trying to get...that is some kind of natural compression and smooth high end/ high end roll off or grit or...

The Peavey 112 is a genuine solid state amp. There's debate about things like the Tonemaster being genuine solid state. Yeah they are circuits or whatever without moving parts or tubes...but they are computers as opposed to genuine transformers. I mean...I'm talking as a layman. You're right...

I'm recording in a bedroom at home. Can not crank the amp to get the most out of the tube.

Hello... First off, I'm a home studio guy who records in a DIY home studio...so not playing gigs etc. Anyway, I've had this Fender Super Champ x2 for about 7 years. Nice amp, nice Fender tone and delicious reverb. I think so anyway. The prob is that it's always been very noisy...lots of hum...

My 424mkiii plays back slightly faster. If I send a VST drum track from the DAW into the 424 then send that back into the DAW from the tape then by the end of the drum track the drums are about 1.5 seconds fast by the end of the track. Playbacks starts off in sync but even by about the 2nd or...

I wrote about a million words on my mixing woes on this forum. Meticulous, detailed crap that's pretty much all wrong. That was, I dunno, a year ago. In that time I found out that mixing's not that hard and it's my amateur songs and singing and all that which sucks. It also does not help one bit...

Edit: Never mind. I just found my old J48 active box and used that. It made a cleaner signal I think. Seemed to be anyway.

Good question. I had a couple of threads here desperate for help in making my music sound good and my mixing better. I remain continually baffled and amazed at how bad my stuff sounds compared to all manner of music from full on pro big studio stuff to dudes with 4 track cassette Portastudios...

Interesting to see how long the Titebond lasts on the binding. Might be fine, might not. I tried Titebond initially and found it didn't last more than a year or two. I ended up having to go some kind of super glue route. Can't recall the name of the glue but after looking into it a bit it seemed...

I don't doubt it. I have read though that in around 2014 Martin experimented with a different binding glue. Probably read that on the Acoustic Guitar forums. If that's true then the problems with binding were probably compounded and made worse in addition to their issues with the different...

I used to own a Martin om28 I bought new back in around 2015. I've since sold it. But the binding on that one peeled away from the waist area like crazy. Apparently Martin had experimented with new binding glue in 2014 or so. For such an expensive guitar the quality control was a joke really. My...

I have had to re-glue the binding on the waist area of this D28. That was a couple of years ago.
