    Diagnosing a toasted tube

    I have a Mesa Rectoverb head. No sound from the cab but a slight weird tube hiss that also comes from the head - I can't tell which tube. I pulled them all, inspected and there was no obvious blown tube. Power tube? Pre amp tube? I probably need to replace them all anyway.

    Notes choke around 12th fret on Acoustic

    I have a 1997 Gibson J30 acoustic. It's really dry here, consistently. From the 11th to 13th frets, all the strings choke out, barely sound or buzz. Can I fix this myself or should I just take it in for a set up?

    Hammett signs on with Randall amps

    http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=81099 I've always had a low opinion of Randall - although that's unfair as I haven't given them a fair shot. Should be interesting - Hammett has endorsed Mesa for eons.

    Upgrading my monitors - what to get?

    I currently have Yorkville YSM2P actives. I think they kind of suck. They give no representation of the low end. They are lower end, so that's fine. I want to upgrade. WHat would you guys recommend? I have Logic Pro, a Mac Pro, and Firepod. Cheers!

    Feedback on demo reel please

    I was looking around at production companies in town and found one that employs a guy I did a TV show with ages ago (he was producer/ director). I contacted him and asked if he would like a demo. I told him about the placements I've had and that I want to get involved on a local level. We are...

    New grovers - can't get them all the way in

    I bought a set of Grovers for my Gibson J30 acoustic. They are the right size but won't go all the way thru - I lightly tapped with a mallet but it didn't work and I don't want to hit it too hard. Any suggestions, or do I need to take it in to a tech? I'm nervous about messing with the holes on...

    Question for Light (or anyone) about a Les Paul and Bigsby

    I have a Les Paul Custom with a Bigsby - the wrong one. I go the guitar 10 years ago and the idiot at the shop put the wrong one on - it was supposed to go on an archtop. This is why I have had troubles with strings popping out of the saddles. I have the Blues Festival coming up and I want to...

    New metal - what do you think?

    As with most of the stuff I post here this is geared for Spike TV and TNT. I've licensed tunes to both before and they are looking for more extreme sports type music. They don't want guitar solos. Feedback? Thanks! http://www.gunnar.ca/aaron1.htm

    New jazzy blues tune - please listen

    http://www.gunnar.ca/aaron1.htm I did it entirely in Logic Pro on my new Mac Pro. The guitars are all recorded direct using the GuitarAmp Pro plug in. The bass is straight in using the Bass plug in. The B3 is a Logic plug as well. What do you think? Cheers

    Recording a live band - help!

    I have been approached to record a band over a month's time. It consists of 2 guitars, 2 vox, sax, bass and drums. I am getting a Mac Pro this week and a new sound card/ pre amp - I was looking at the Firepod which is 8 in 8 out and has 8 pre's. This would be pushing it with that many...

    Advice on size of iso box to get

    So I am getting a "Vocal Booth" (the company) iso cab. I can either get one that is 36x36x36, or a 48x48x48. The 36" will fit a 4x12 cab, the only difference is that the 48" gives you more room to play with mic placement. It's $100 more. Should I go for the big boy or will the smaller one...

    Amp distorts badly when reverb on - ???

    I have a Rectoverb head, and when I turn the reverb on - the signal gets nasty and distorted. Would that be a tube? Is there a reverb tube in these things? What else could that be?
