Always experimenting - I find recording at high volume to be challenging - I don't have a control room, and as a player, I prefer to be next to the amp anyway, but the result is that I can't hear what the recording sounds like until well after I'm done playing (and unplug the computer and...

I love Portugal - wish I could surf. Nice score! Let us know how it sounds

Nice! You can borrow my RG550 whenever you want - remember that :) - oh - and I just saw a Kemper on Craigslist. I spent my allowance on that cabinet, so I suppose it's up for grabs

Wow - so easy to get behind with this thread! Minerman - I once DIY'ed a talkbox with a small plastic tub with a lid, an unwanted crappy computer speaker, some clear plastic tubing, duct tape of course, and I think the only tool I needed was a knife. It has been many years and I don't remember...

Wow that sucks. Glad you got something good

I use Fabfilter Pro-L for the most part when I want to make something loud. Mostly I leave that step to someone else mastering for the finished product, but when I want to send snapshots to my customers I sometimes make them louder while being careful not to change things very much. I like to...

arcaxis, Paj, do you like the sputnik mic? I've never even seen one, but I've heard recordings made with them that I like.

Heh - now you can get Bush's guitar sound, Minerman - or that band The Front Bottoms If that pot is in your signal path and it's low voltage (line level or especially guitar level) it's possible that the capacitance of the heavy wire is cutting into your high frequency - but that's not...

Crap - I knew I'd forget something. It's a Gibson SG Supreme, 2004 vintage. '57 classic bridge pickup 10 vol 10 tone Thanks man! And thanks for sending me on the Greenback quest - really does make a dramatic difference (edit: you stay dry? It pretty much hasn't rained here at all)...

Cool - JDOD - looking forward to the next version. Minerman - that's some pretty heavy gauge wire to the pot - what's the voltage rating on the pot, or is it really much juice going to it? Just realized I owe you guys a clip of the greenbacks - forgive the slop: (note - I posted the wrong...

JDOD - listening now. Sounds good - I like the level of the drums. At 1:22 the stereo image collapses very briefly to the left - not sure if that's intentional. Do you plan on adding vocals? Minerman - that looks cool - I think I lost the plot when it comes to the function of that pot, but...

Yeah Bob, sounds a lot better than I expect from a modeler - especially one that's basically a pedal. I suppose if you're sold on big back-breaker-amp sound (like I am, and your Mesas can't be lightweight), and there's any validity to the proposition that it can be OK to sacrifice some tone for...

I had to try three different speakers before I got one that went significantly lower than the D112. The first two were from guitar amps - 8" and 12" - they we're strong in the 100hz range - not helpful. Finally a 6" car stereo speaker got me down in the 40hz range. Anyway I also use the D112...

I know next to nothing about Mesas - there's a guy around here who plays a Lone Star something (head and cab, not a combo) and sounds really good in a classic rock way. Bob - what Vox thing were you using?

Love the song Bob - I like happy music and there was only a passing reference to dope. Great playing and tone on the leads

here's a pic of the cab my new(ly acquired) greenbacks came in - I think it looks nice. The seller said it was a Mojotone cab Edit - the picture is rotated sideways on my screen for some reason - clearly we need to stop talking about dope

I'm not qualified to write a mic review. My baseline for condensers is the AKG C414B-ULS (I have two of them, they sound the same, and I usually have a pretty good idea of what they'll sound like on a particular source (and neither was over $400 used)), and I think that's the one they feature...

nice - did you use the treble compensation on the attenuated one? Sounds trebl-ier than the earlier clips. I have to say I like the unbridled one the best. The attenuated one sounded good but a little harsh on my system here - still maybe my second favorite. I thought the MV TV Vol sounded...

Got'em! Reissues from the 1990s I'm told
