Yeah-- I didn't RTFM when I got my first Weber (the Micro Mass) and was a little confused by the knobs at very first. They don't increase the amount of attenuation as you turn clockwise-- they work more like volume knobs (attenuation is greater the more the knob is turned counter clockwise) and...

i've worked my way up from a 15W Micro Mass through a 50W Mini Mass to a 100W Mass w/ all the fixings. Great units. The way that they're set up you can use them as tone shaping tools as well as just attenuators.

if you're drowning out your band, wouldn't just using one 4x12 cab instead of two help on its own with or without an attenuator?

Sold! :d :d :d

My point about disclosure of signatures is that it is something that seems to have worked in other places with great success in the ways I described above. If the Audiofanzine folks want to keep this an inherently different place, that is, of course, their prerogative. When I read their open...

I have tremendous respect for you in regards to this and know that you walk the talk. I still think that there is an inherent conflict of interest in this as you can shape the way that some of your competitors are portrayed and perceived-- though I do understand that this only applies in...

I'm happy to keep bumping this thread up :) If this is truly your perspective, then I think you might find yourself in the minority in this kind of a board and indeed in a Western Capitalistic society in general. Here, many people logon to ask advise on what kind of equipment might yield...

As seen and heard here: http://www.gauge-usa.com/ Mint condition. Usually runs $170 or so after tax and shipping. I'll sell for $100 shipped to the lower 48 or will trade for something cool-- dynamic mics, group buy tube mics, cool guitar pedals, 12" guitar speakers, etc.

There is room for improvement in a lot of things that aren't necessarily problems. Would you disagree? Your arguments seem to be continually based on the semantical margin created by any of my statements that are not absolute. I am enjoying this though :) There is no cost involved in this--...

Again, my OP is just a suggestion-- one for improvement. It is titled "Suggestion..." not "Here's what I think is a problem that needs to be solved." I am happy that you are pleased. Obviously debating this issue through metaphors robs it of some of its nuance (something I did as well in my...

wow-- that's a lot of thought :) Well, I would caution against deeming that something is or isn't a problem based only on your experience. I would also caution against deeming that something shouldn't be done because it is hard to do (impossible of course is a different matter). I would...

That plus a Peluso VTB (which is modelled after the Sony C800G-- a much more expensive mic which is often used for R&B/Hip Hop) will probably cost you significantly less than a U87ai. The Rode Classic II's are probably available a lot cheaper. I have a friend who owns a Classic II and also a...

there is a bit of an engineering joke/lore that I've read that you can sonically turn a SM57 into a U47 by putting a sock over it when you record. :D (it does little good for the mic when you're not recording). ymmv of course :)

I am really curious about how this popped back up. :D Jimmy-- did you find this thread via Google or searching on the board for "Freaky Friday guitar"?

so you're saying that using something like a folcrom for summing to stereo and running it through a couple of nice pres doesn't offer any sonic benefits at all? i did note the part about pres for makeup gain in my post (after where you clipped it off). something like a couple of api's, a...

...so yeah, i'd take a squier vintage vibe/modified tele or strat over that in a knock out :D

fyi, this is now the cheapest new electric guitar branded as fender: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001943W92

or you can do like farview says plus get an analog summing box like a roll music folcrom, a decent analog mixer, or ask mshilarious here to make some special order summing cables, then group similar tracks together into busses (e.g. a background vocals buss, a rhythm guitar buss to save tracks...

If you can do 4 pres, I'd look for a Sytek, a couple of RNP's, etc. If you need 8, I'd consider one of these: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=180311V&src=RSSXSTPD&ZYXSEM=0 I think you can use it standalone (as pres rather than as a FW interface), plus some extra pres from...

bump. i read somewhere that kremitmusic actually prefers I5's to sm57's and sennheiser e609's on guitar cabs!
