I ended up going with the Toft. As far as the digital goes, I added a Lynx Aurora with optical out. Quite a bit more than I anticipated spending but the AD convertors are likely better than the mackie. Besides the Mackie is only compatible with Mbox and I'm using digi 003 and pro tools LE...

The construction of my home project studio is now complete. It was done professionally and I'm ready to start buying equipment. I just bought a power mac 8 core processor computer and I'm gonna invest in the rack + digi003 and complete production tools kit. The last thing I plan to invest in...

great deal although quality control is an issue with all the reissue vox stuff

menatone makes a pedal that tries to cop that sound. you might look into it Blake

i'm not a fan of vox modeling amps. i had three of them and the quality control is terrible. they build them in the orient as opposed to England and the craftsmenship reflects this. i ending up going with a little lanilei from songworks. it's a boutique little amp that is outstanding for...

16 channels I'm thinking. I need a couple of monitors, a couple of mains and a mixer, although I've heard some say that powered mixers are not the way to go. I have all the mics and stands I could ever want. I'm looking to play small clubs. we won't be micing anything on the drums aside from...

I posted this in one other section hoping for some advice if you wouldn't mind. hey folks. i'm looking to start playing some small clubs in the next few months and was wondering what is a reasonable mixer and mains to buy. I'm so used to recording that when it comes to live sound, i'm a bit at a...

hey folks. i'm looking to start playing some small clubs in the next few months and was wondering what is a reasonable mixer and mains to buy. I'm so used to recording that when it comes to live sound, i'm a bit at a loss. my budget is about $1000 and one of the guys in the band has an amp...

I'll throw in my two cents: Eric Clapton/Cream: Crossroads-Although he hasn't played like this in a few decades, there's no denying he was on fire at the time. Stevie Ray Vaughan-Testify-Need I say more? Jimi Hendrix-Voodoo Chile Stevie Ray Vaughan-Little Wing David Gilmour-Comfortably Numb Led...

Rich Robinson does play through Harry Joyce on a regular basis. They are hard to find and very expensive. Another option, although not cheap is the Dr. Z route 66. This is a beautiful amp. Another thing you might try is using The new Fulltone OCD pedal. I love this thing. It puts out some...

the tremolo unit made by danelectro is cheap, but reasonable sounding. it's about $40. I just picked up the voodoo lab tremolo unit which is very nice for $112. The only other one i'd consider is the fulltone supatrem, but it's $200

the cheaper ones are made by dunlop, ie the cry baby. vox makes a few wahs as well which are reasonably priced. i prefer the geoff teese wahs. they're boutique wahs that last longer and sound geat, but for a bit more money. the other good one is the fulltone clyde wah. in either case...

I live in Kalamazoo, MI about 10 minutes from the old gibson factory. It is true that gibson closed up shop in kazoo in '85 and scooted down to Tennesee where they had been making guitars since the late 70's. Alot of my friends own heritage guitars and they are obviously quite popular in town...

soory pal , i didn't push a dr z. amp on that particular person. read my post again, it states i'm interested in that amp for myself. I did however mention the rivera as an option. in fact certainly a very reasonable option I think. the vox valvetronix ad60vt runs about $600 bucks last...

stay away from anything dunlop or vox is offering. their parts are truly inferior to what is actualyl out there and the reliability of those units is poor. both vox and dunlop have cheap pots and this is the reason why they crap out so quickly. the cry baby is almost painful on the ears with...

I'd think twice before buying the valvetronix. last time i check on harmony central, the reviews for reliability were fairly poor. i had the ad60vt...count 'em...3 of them and they all had mechanical issues. i went through three of those amps at guitar center and was gravely dissapointed...

the cf-1 is fulltone's chorus pedal which does a decent job of doing a leslie imitation. my unit is called a little lanilei rotary wave and it's an actual rotating speaker, a mini leslie by all accounts. the only difference is that it hold a passive speaker inside. SO, you simply use your...

i just received in the mail today my new songworks little lanilei rotary wave. i've been looking for about five years for a pedal that nails the sound of the leslie. the fulltone cf-1 is close but i wanted something for my organ samples to. this thing is the s..t! it's about as close as i've...

i tend to leave out the compression on overheads until the end and frequently even then i use it very little. overheads are designed to grab the ambience of the room and in many instances overuse of a compressor can diminish this. instead, for level purposes and such i'll compress my kick and...

cross stick is what i was referring to. the drummer fairly consistently uses the rimshot instead of a standard strike against the batter. as a result, there's a huge difference in level between the two sounds alternating between rimshot and cross stick. i want both sounds represented evenly...
