And if you get it, be sure to crank the effects sends as loud as you can w/o clipping so you can have the effects returns as low as you can to avoid the hiss.

Hamer Cruise 5. No longer made, but that just means you get to pay for used instead of new!

If you're talking champ size, the Electar Tube 10 can't be beat for price. Sold through Gibson's musicyo.com.

Are your basement stuido outlets properly grounded?

The Traynor YCV80 is pretty similar to the HR Deville. Ampeg VT22 or VT40, loud and clean...earlier 70's models break up earlier than the later 70's models. And they're relatively cheap. Orange OR80 if you can find one, Bedrock if you can find one, Matamp if you can afford one. ;)

By most accounts the JJ EL84's are the best in modern production...and they'll definitely sound better than the Sovtek's! IMO the JJ 12ax7's are also the best around. If you can afford NOS, go for it, but at $15/pair, JJ EL84's are about as cheap as a couple pairs of strings! Their 6L6's are...

Check out some Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss' Circus Leaves Town and Sky Valley...mostly power chords but done well and not (too) dependent on the pentatonic minor scale. thefade.net has most of the tabs. For heavy rock, try the various combinations/riffs w/ I, iii, IV, dim V. It's one...

...as little as I can get away with and still sound good! Mixing down to a stereo drum image would get us to 8 tracks (gtr, gtr, bass, 2 drums, 3 vocals). You got the idea, record first and tweak the levels afterward because we might like a different mix on a different day or we might let a...

I bought a Behringer :eek: UB 2442FX because it has 10 mic pres, we're using 9 (3 drums, 3 gtr/bass, 3 vocals), and 8 post-EQ/post-fader lines out, and it was a floor model for $259. It sounds good, but we're also trying to EQ and effect as little as possible. With the effects sends turned up...

By and large Fender copies, and the Peaveys were the sound of Skynyrd back in the day. Indeed! The non-master Marshalls *are* the sound of rock, IMO. One of the earlier companies with a master volume, and again great cranked tone. Mat Mathias was a freakin' genius designer even if he...

If you're seriously looking at the 5150 and Bogners (like the Extacy), you should look into the Ampeg 502/1002 by Lee Jackson...I think there's a 501/1001 and 503/1003 as well. The 502's preamp looks remarkably similar to the 5150/Extacy/Recto/SLO preamp...a Marshall master volume preamp with...

My main guitar for a number of years was a stew mac parts guitar with a $90 strat neck. It was a thinner Japanese style neck and plays quite well. I've also heard good stuff about Carvin's bolt necks.

And I forgot to mention... ...the old SRV trick with two pedals. One set for about unity volume but adding distortion/grit, the other set for not much added grit but a big volume boost. IIRC, SRV used the fuzz face for some dirt and the TS9 for the boost, but I'm also not an SRV expert ;) and...

And it's not that much different than using a tube amp's gain knob, which is usually a volume pot after the first stage, sometimes with some caps for brightness.

Yep. I usually either back off the amp's gain or the guitar's volume a bit so the boost will have more effect. Most OD/dist/fuzz pedals can be set with the volume cranked and the gain/drive/distortion turned down a la a "clean" boost which will be more ampish and less pedalish.

(bump) Would a hypercardioid help reduce the bleed?

Micing drums in a smallish space, with one in the kick and two overheads, all dynamics. One guitar amp is up on a ledge about even with the cymbals aimed a little bit away from the drums. The guitar amp is picked up quite well by the overhead mics (we'll tell the band it's "ambience" and not...

My error, it's 6db for double/ half... .5 log * 20 = -6.02dB and 2 log * 20 = 6.02dB. And it's not 10dB: http://www.sweetwater.com/insync/word.php?find=Decibel

Is it set for full power? It may be an impedance issue: make sure your amp's ohmage out is the same ohmage as the cabinet. It may also be a speaker efficiency issue, as a difference of 3dB will double or halve your volume (and V30's are one of the most efficient speakers out there by most...

What low end stuff actually records 8 tracks at once? Tape of any size, digital, or multi channel soundcard.
