    cheap but quality usb 3 interface

    I posted on this forum about my computer woes. What would you suggest as a simple and inexpensive usb 3 interface. For now a two input with "adequate" mic pre's and two line inputs. I have decent stand alone mic pre's that will provide line outputs. I just need something that will get the...

    Any Superbaby owners out there?

    I hope there are. I enjoy mine. THere are a few threads dating back 2007 or so but not much these days. THe amp sounds good through diiff cabs and the tube swapping is very fun. Currently the 5y3, 6v6, 12ax7a sounds nice as does the KT77 with tighter rectifier. Thoughts. Lots of questions about...

    Give a listen to David Byrne & St. Vincent "Who". Sounds like multi layer heavily compressed goodness. I like it.

    Calling for Massive about monitors

    I have used wharfies for 5 or so years. I now hate them. Boxy and annoying but... I am used to them and the mixes translate well. It's kinda like the old Ns-10 days. Recommendations in the 1000.00 range. I have had some recent requests for mixing some tunes and they have come out fine. The...

    not bonding with Jackson 2l2h

    I have had this guitar for over a year and I am just not grooving with it. The quality is great the action is good, pickups (that I can change). Not fond of the balance nor of the neck profile. I had a JS 1200 that I really liked but there were neck issues (bad relief on one side) so it had to...

    Looking at doing some "field" recording of dialog and monolog in less than ideal settings, offices, hospitals, nursing home, residential settings. I want a high quality device, with multiple sample rates and bit depth. XLR, line in and outs (for possible use of external pre-amp/mic) would like...

    Why must every tweed amp demo be ...

    Chicken picken (picking) or distorted blues garbage? The amps are far more capable of such limitations. ??? Just asking.

    opinions on versatile amp

    I am thinking about downsizing a bit by selling my drri and marshall dsl. So I would like to replace them with one amp (or head) that will do a bit of each. Mostly for recording and the occasional jam. I know that is a hard bill of materials to cover those bases. I haven't played through a...

    Advice on reliable mid priced interface

    Hello all. I bet this is covered well in the $1000 or less "best interface category" but what about interfaces 1000 US or greater. Min req. 8 inputs 8 outputs, 2 to 8 onboard preamps, good clock and most of all RELIABLE, ROCK STEADY on win 7. ??? Hmmm. Its that win 7 thing. firewire or PCI or...

    Rework Fender Champ 12

    Hello all and best! I have a Fender Champ 12 that gathers dust...not surprising given its shortcomings- 0-100 OD channel, funny cardboard reverb, bad jacks, limited tone control etc.. the list goes on. On the positive side it has a "pre-punched chassis", power and output transformer, cabinet...

    help determining tube manufacturer/brand

    Sorry if this is a double post I may have gotten booted the first time ai tried, if so please disregard. I have a 12ax7a type tube that has (or no longer has) a brand on it. It sounds great in my 5e3 in V1 (unlike most 12ax7a's) On the tube the text reads 12ax7a and above that it has in this...

    Hello all: I am looking to build a small size tube amp that outputs approx 12-30 watts that features a TMB type tone circuit, no verb and medium gain and more headroom than a 5e3. I have a few amps that fill the bill on hand but I want to build one of my own. I am finishing my 5e3 which will...

    em field from tube amp

    Hello all: Due to size constraints and overall economy of space (and convenience) I ask to you fine folks: Will the EM field of a marshall dsl amplifier interfere with rack mounted Comp (vla and older Quadraverb) if mounted close to one another? By close I mean 2.5" (inches). I need to stack...

    Very nice low wattage tube amp

    Maybe I should have titled this thread the "go buy this" but that would be too much. Read what follows and as I state at the end I got no association with this product. Other than owning it and lovin it. I hope this is helpful because when I searched for an amplifier of this type there is sadly...
