If want to use the effects on my personal mixer at a venue where they already have a PA system, can I connect my mixer to the house mixer? Let's say I have a personal PA system that I rehearse with at home and I want to use the on board effects on my mixer (e.g., reverb, delay, etc) for a live...

I own a Yamaha StagePas 600i PA system. The mixer for the system comes with four on board effects, all labeled as types of reverb (Hall, Room, Plate, and Echo). In my experience echo is typically is synonymous with delay, which would be good because I'd like both reverb and delay. The thing is...

When I rehearse vocals I use a PA system (specifically, powered mixer into speakers), and I will typically use the reverb effect on my mixer for my vocals. For future rehearsals I want to have the option of additionally using some effects plugins I have in my DAW (e.g., delay and chorus) for my...

I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue (tube) amplifier. Some months ago I replaced maybe 3-4 of the tubes because they were starting to cause issues - though I no longer remember which ones I replaced. I think I replaced them with the same tube models (though it's possible one of the...

Hey all, So I moved into a new apartment not long ago, which is a basement apartment. I have a bunch of music electronics, and I have some questions about where and how is safe to store them. First off, I have a multi-shelf rack on which I’ve been keeping my guitar effects pedals. The shelves...

Let's take 2 PA systems: First let's take this Yamaha StagePas 600i here, which I own: Specs: https://usa.yamaha.com/products/proaudio/pa_systems/stagepas_400i_600i/specs.html#product-tabs Then let's take this Samson Expedition XP300: Specs...

Please note: this question is about live performance when rehearsing with a band; not recording. So let's say I have a PA system I've gotten used to and the I like that I use to practice singing. Let's say in the not so distant future I start rehearsing with a band, and let's say that my PA...

When I'm practicing singing in my apartment (not for recording, just for practicing) I've realized that my mouth is always very close to the microphone - like basically as close as my mouth can be to the microphone without touching it (so close that my facial hair will sometimes touch the...

Very basic question I'm realizing I've never really known the answer to. I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue. It has a "vibrato channel", which has reverb in it. I know tube amps are analog, and so my guess would be that the reverb in the amp also has an analog circuit... But I also know that...

I'm looking for an analog delay pedal that has a max delay time of at least 1000 ms and I found the Boss DM-101. According to the website it's a totally analog circuit (has 8 BBD chips) and there are digital circuits controlling them. I checked out a few demos on YouTube, and the sound doesn't...

Hey all, So I’m in need of a pedal switcher, and I’m deciding between the Carl Martin Octaswitch MK3 and the Voodoo Labs PX-8, each of which have 8 effects loops. I’m having some uncertainty with understanding the bypass functionality for the two pedals. So for the Octaswitch, the manual says...

I have a shelf with several levels which has all my guitar effects pedals on it, as well as my audio interface and preamp. It's standing not far in front of the floorboard heater in my apartment and the heat was just turned on. I'm curious how far away from the heater the electronics should be...

Hi all, I'm having trouble posting this in the Line 6 forums; so posting it here for now to see if anyone can help.. I'm screwing around with the Red Squeeze compressor effect on my Line 6 HX Stomp XL. I'm a bit confused about the "sensitivity" control for this effect. According to the HX Stomp...

I had a small amount of flooding in my apartment about a week ago. My guitar (fender Strat) was in its hard case. The hard case has these little metal stands on the bottom of it that elevate the rest of the case off of the ground by an inch or so. Beneath the guitar there was a little flood...

So I had a small amount of flooding in my basement apartment. My Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue amplifier was elevated on an isolation platform luckily - However half of the electrical power cord/plug that is permanently attached to the amplifier was on the floor and partially submerged in water...

In the past for reverb I typically just used the reverb on my amplifier (Fender Deluxe Reverb), but recently I got a Roland Space Echo RE-20 to try some reverb with that. And the sound I'm getting from it makes me throughly confused... The following applies regardless of whether I have any of...

I'm trying to incorporate my Boss Compression-Sustainer CS-3 pedal into my effects chain for my guitar playing more and more, but it still confuses me in certain respects... I think the main question is as follows: so the pedal has four knobs (level, attack, tone, and sustain)... Is the pedal...

Hey all, So I'm playing a song. For part 1 of the song, I have an effects chain of two analog pedals (guitar goes into compressor pedal which feeds into distortion pedal which feeds into amplifier). Then for part 2 of the song I use my HX Stomp (Guitar into HX Stomp into amplifier). So...

I'm in a basement apartment of my several story townhouse apartment building. The next building over (also a a several story townhouse apartment building the same height as our's) also has a basement apartment. The two buildings touch and so the other basement apartment is directly next to mine...
