    Rhino amps

    Yeah, that's where I got the information that they supposedly have Power Scaling. But I haven't heard anything from Rhino (I emailed them directly for more info), so I thought someone who had played one or owned one could comment on how well this feature works.

    Rhino amps

    Anyone played one? I'm interested in them because, according to the guy that runs London Power amps, Rhinos also have Power Scaling for playing with max overdrive with minimum volume. He says they just don't advertise the fact. So I'm trying to figure out if the Beast model has that feature...

    Ok here's the dealie-o

    With all due respect, are you sure that this is fair to say? I haven't gotten the impression that MrWho isn't listening but rather that he's trying to understand the logic behind how y'all make purchase decisions. If anything he might be accused of naivete, but that's just a result of...

    Studio Gem, anyone?

    Okay, I'm looking at the website right now, and I'm playing with the Intel P4 system. How do you go about choosing the components to go into it? I mean, some of the choices are simple enough, but I have no idea what type of video card to select, or mainboard, or memory (I know I'd want 512...

    Studio Gem, anyone?

    Sky Blue Lou, thanks for the link. Is this system pre-assembled? Because I've read about the Pete Leoni RYO, and it seems like it would be good enough for what I'm doing (and cheaper than the other turnkey systems I've seen). I couldn't find any reference to it being pre-assembled, but I...

    I saw something truly sad today...

    Yeah, that's right! "I never thought it was such a bad little LP." But you gotta be holding a blanket before you say that.

    Studio Gem, anyone?

    I know there have been several threads in the past regarding turnkey systems such as Soundchaser and Carillon. Recently I learned about Studio Gem, and I'm very interested in the Silver VII system. Anyone here know anything about 'em? I did a search here and turned up nada, so any info would...

    Ok...Fretting Hand

    Yeah, but then you check out Jeff "Skunk" Baxter or Steve Hackett and it's like, "Well, there must be something to it." :D I don't mind playing while seated, so long as I can get the proper height/level of my legs. Does that make sense? For example, the tall stools we use at church have rungs...

    rookie question about tone...

    Okay, I'm not super-qualified to answer this question, but here's some grist for the mill: Are you planning on micing the 4x12? If so, let the mic do your "listening" for you. Move the mic around the speaker until you hear the sound you want coming through the PA. Keep in mind that closer to...

    jimi hendrix's sound

    Thanks for clarifying the point about removing the reels, Aaron. That's what I meant to say but didn't quite make it. Have you heard the King Crimson song "Walking on Air"? It's got some backward guitar that's very ethereal. Great song, on the THRAK album.

    Vito Bratta, why hast thou forsaken me?

    Yeah, I don't know much about them, but I do know that Phil was TL, really. It would be like Motorhead touring or recording without Lemmy.

    What's your favorite RIFF?

    Great call, Cyrokk, on "Voodoo" and "Beating Around the Bush," and a tip o' the hat to you, Mr. Cheney, for "Lay It Down." Man, so many good ones, so little time. But I'll take a rip at it: "Princess of the Night" by Saxon "Bloodstone" by Judas Priest "China Cat Sunflower" by Grateful Dead...

    Vito Bratta, why hast thou forsaken me?

    Not to be a nit-picker, but Gar Samuelson was the drummer on Megadeth's first two albums; he died in 1999. Maybe you were thinking of Chris Poland? He's a seriously great guitarist with a unique style. I would probably add Vinnie Moore and Tony Macalpine just for fun. And you probably know...

    jimi hendrix's sound

    I'm guessing you are referring to the backwards-sounding quality in the lead. If so, guess what? That's exactly what it is. I'm oversimplifying, but essentially they played the recorded tracks backward and he played the lead in the allotted break (the recorded tracks all sound backwards when...

    any church players here??

    Guess I missed that one in my usual Cave digging. :) Okay, I'll post over there. I'm really hoping for some input from youse guys; hopefully it will be a topic that you can relate to. Thanks, dafduc, for the suggestion.

    any church players here??

    That brings up a question that I have regarding musical style in the Christian context. I don't want to hijack this thread with it, but I'm not sure of the appropriate place to post a new thread. Normally I'd say the Cave but, well, I'm not looking to start a thread that gets derailed into a...

    Guitar Pedal Order....

    I think your problem is just that you have too many pedals. It's causing you all sorts of grief, and I hate to see anyone grieve. Tell you what, you send me a few of them (let's say the TS-9, the RAT, the Octave, and the Super Phaser) and thus clean up your signal chain a bit. If you need to...

    any church players here??

    Thanks for assuring me that I'm not the only poor soul who faces this problem. :D Our drummer has the same problem, mainly because we don't have any sort of baffling between him and everything else. The band is all jammed into one corner of the stage, said corner being tiered into three levels...

    any church players here??

    I didn't mean to say that I don't find the music uplifting or that I would prefer to have only an organist or pianist instead of a band. I just have a hard time comparing most of the P&W tunes to, say, just about anything on Petra's Petraphonics — and that album isn't even a rock album, not...

    any church players here??

    I can so relate to that. Our stage monitors are always a mess in terms of mix; most of the time I'm trying to hear what comes from my 4x12, since I can't usually hear myself in the keyboard/vocal-heavy monitor mix. Anyone else find it hard to adjust to contemporary worship when your own music...
