    Amp Builders?

    STOP!!! Don't make a guitar amp out of that Hammond amplifier, at least not until you know what Hammond organ it came out of. Let me explain: For the purpose of power amps, Hammonds can be devided into three catagories: Console/tube organs (the B's being the best known, but there are also...

    Room EQ Wizard (REM)

    That technology works fairly well for live events, where you must use the room you have, but I agree, it's a band-aid- it's better to heal the wound and address the root cause. AFA live apps, the best way to use that technology seems to be to have it DETECT the frequencies feeding back, but...

    Anyone used a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro?

    We've got a 1604. That one's noisy, but it's been through hell (before we got it.) Decided to pay someone else to clean it out, way too many nooks and crannies. I'll try to remember to let you know how it sounds after it's bath.

    I had a weird dream last night..

    Dreams are manifestations of our deeper thoughts. Internal, mental struggles or tough decisions often come to the fore in our dreams. When we dream about things like microphones, it is because we have them on our minds but also have some ambivilance about that thing- for you, it could be...

    Water damaged loudspeaker and drum kit

    I assume you are talking about silica gel bags? FYI, those things work by absorbing the moisture near them- so they can get "full" or saturated. Fortunately, it is possible to re-activate them. I got a bunch with some military-surplus cases I bought- some are printed with this...

    Any ideas what this is?

    I'd say it's a consumer-grade 6-channel mixer- from the colored knobs, appears that it might be Tascam's answer to the Tapco 6-channel mixer that (I am told) was the first of it's kind. We had one of those Tapco's- used it as one of the rock n roll summer camp band's rental PA (well, it plus a...

    Not Getting Ahead Of Yourself/The Price You Pay

    I have pretty much a minimum of home-recording equipment- a Zoom R-16 and a few mics. My plan, which was a good one, was to support my son's pro studio in New Orleans, and get free recording sessions with any band/project I am involved with. Only fly in that ointment is I failed to consider...

    Strings in acoustic guitar

    Armistice, I understand your argument, but for some 12's, the "rules" are a bit different. If I owned a Martin or Gibson 12, and either had it checked out by a trusted luthier or had the factory warranty on it, I would probably tune it to concert, but many 2nd-tier or below 12's will scare the...

    Gibson SG-12 string

    What's the PC board do? Just plug-in connections for the pups,pots, etc, or are there any un-used connections/spaces on the board that would suggest possible future upgrades or add-ons? IMHO, if it's just there for existing connections, that suggest that Gibson used the board to cheapen...

    drumming floor/surface

    I once read/heard that the producer of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk album put the drum kit on a live platform, to give them that loose sound. He was also reportedly responsible for using the UCLA Drum Corps on the song "Tusk." For whatever that's worth.

    What is a Harmonica Microphone?

    Since we are weighing in on harmonica mics, I love the EV 638 I have. A friend got it, cleaned and polished it up, made sure the wiring was top-notch- and sold it to me for $30. Turns out, Harmonica Master Class website calls that one of the best harp mics, ever. I'ts smaller than the Green...
