It's not really gonna increase your amplitude ... But things might sound louder because there impedance is set up correctly. A mixer (or a preamp) is designed for use with a microphone (balanced, Lo Z). Guitar/bass pickups have a Hi Z (impedance) output and are unbalanced. So a DI box will...

I'm looking for a new multicable in my studio to route mics to my mixer (from recording room to control room). I want it to be able to move it around in the room so I guess I'm looking for a stage box. Well, I want to be able to use it for (small) gigs as well, so It would be nice to have 50'...

Reversing polarity would only help if the mikes are completely opposite. When you reverse polarity you want to electronically compensate for the phase difference, which in a theoretical sine wave would equal to 180° A guitar track though is not a perfect 1 frequency sine wave. The phase (when...

I used to have the original but I changed it for the Mustang bridge. My strings jumped out to quickly. I play 0.09 strings so maybe it'll work with a 0.10 .... greetz

I found the amps schematic, says it has 5881's in it. Should have done that before. It doesn't have a mode switch (supose you mean like the MB rectifier). Maybe I can get it modded by a tech. Thanks for your response. Greetz

Hi I bought a marshall 6100 amp a year ago, and I do really love the sound. But there's one thing that I don't understand... It's got 4 6l6 tubes in it (sovtek 5881wxt which I think are 6l6 ?). Isn't marshall known for using el34 tubes ? El34's seem to have the reputation of having more mid's...

That's great ! Tnx alot for the quick response greetz

Ok this is interesting but it's really confusing and actually even scaring me ! Our bass player has a 250W-RMS/500W-Peak amp - 8 Ohms driving a 4x10" cab which is 500W-RMS/1000W-peak at 4 Ohm. I thought this was safe, because the amp's power rating is lower than the cabinet's. We mostly play...

OH's might cover the toms aswel, placing overheads higher mostly make your toms louder compared to the cymbals. I won't suggest the C01 for overheads. I own one and it's really not bad for vocals, but it sucks on OH's. I don't know about the mic kit, but you're allways ok with a few...

Does anyone own this effect (or maybe the 201 or 490). I got this a few years ago from my uncle. It was broke, no sound. I was young and ignorant and I was unexperienced in electronics. So I decided to use the housing for experimenting purposes and I removed the pcb... A few weeks ago I found...

btw, try to invert polarity, it may not allways work but sometimes it might help :D

Make sure you don't screw it up in the mix ! Mute your guitar tracks and voacals, so that you only hear drums and bass. Then unmute your guitar track, and mute and unmute and mute and ... sorry Does the guitar influence your kick in the mix ? Don't boost the kick ! Lower the 2-4khz in your...

Is the 230/110V (EU or US) connector on which your amp is plugged in grounded ? Does it have a grounding pin, and if so, is it accually connect ??

you never had any belgian chocolate did you :D

When it's place on the right spot, with a signal chain that costs around 10000$. The peppers' blood sugar sex magic's kick is recorded with an sm57, at least that's what many people say... A D112, beta 52 will do better if you're less experienced and have more low cost gear. greetz

Put a mic pointing at the table, use a pen and tap it at the prefered tempo. You might wanna use a low cut on that. Or you could also use a metronome/drumcoputer with an output/headphone jack. have fun, greetz,

You'll need alot of gear and most of the quality will depend on your budget. I didn't mention any prices, as i live in Belgium and it looks like everything is twice as expensive here. Mics ---- Let's say you need 4 tracks for your drums. So you'll need 4 mics. 2 mics for close micing (kick and...

Looks like a nice setup to start out. Some nice monitors i could suggest are the yamaha msp5 (active) Cost me 500€/ pair. Sm75's and AT 3031 are good choice i think, though the c02 and the b2 should be reconsidered i think. If you're only going to record accoustic/electric guitar and vocals...

I was talking about the Behringer's active DI box those SansAmp Bass Driver DI are probably nice aswell. Active DI boxes may alter your sound very little, mostly has a (or 2) pad's, some (like berry's) can transform your amp's output to a mic signal (never tried though) and it works on phantom...

Mostly I put a condenser mic in front of the guitar (or two in xy, MS, ...) 40cm away and then mix the direct sound (trough a DI) in with the rest. The sound coming from those pickups is nice for live use, but once you start recording it, it will sound to 'plastic'. Maybe some eq could help, but...
