    I Ohm you. . . . .

    Is there a way to wire 4 4-Ohm speakers from a 16-Ohm speaker cab into an 8-Ohm speaker cab?

    Ritchie Blackmore

    I didn't expect many replies to this thread. It was just a spontaneous drunken whim, I wasn't even sure I had actually sent this off. Aah, the joys of alcohol. It was that Strat sound that got me going. I have been thinking lately about getting a Strat after I get me another SG to maybe...

    Ritchie Blackmore

    This guy just does not get enough credit for his contribution to heavy metal guitar. Just had to get this out, listening to some old Rainbow. I haven't listened to Rainbow forever, the stuff with DIO kicks ass!

    Warming up the tubes

    I'am real new to the "tube scene", and I'm just noticing all these little sounds that get picked up by my guitar that I have never noticed through my solid state amps, and my digital toys which I plug directly into my PC. I noticed just recently that when I type on the keyboard I can hear it...

    Warming up the tubes

    I just recently became the proud owner of a Soldano Super Lead 60. :D I've been playing this amp for hours at a time since I got it. This is my first tube amp, and tube is good. I usually warm up the amp for 15 or 20 minutes. A couple of times I noticed something while playing. After...

    TWisted NEck

    He didn't force it at anytime, did he? I f he did, he may have broke the truss rod and will need to seek professional help. He may have just turned it a little too much, and will just need to wait a while for the neck to flex back. Truss rod adjustments do not always yield immediate results...

    Saldano?

    I didn't think I was going to get as much as I did with the gear that I traded in. I was able to buy the cab without going over the money I had intended on spending on electronical goodies. The 4x10 is just a short timer until I got the money to go shopping for a 4x12 and made a new friend...

    Saldano?

    I decided on buying it. I traded in $545 worth of unwanted gear, only had to put up $55 out of pocket. Now that I had the head I just couldn't leave without having something to play it through. I ended up buyng a Marshall 4x10 because the cheap Peavey 4x12 wouldn't fit in my buddie's car. I...

    Pitch changing

    Is there any program or plugins I could use with Cool Edit Pro 1.2 that will allow me to change the pitch of a wave file without slowing it down and stretching it? I have some guitar tracks I wish to drop tune 1/2 a step to match some other junk I recorded a later time.

    Blue steel strings

    I always found Blue Steels to be too bright/sharp sounding when you first put them on, and after they are broken in I think they are too spongy feeling and dead sounding.

    Saldano?

    Is $600 a reasonable price for a Saldano Superlead 60 Series II? I may be going to look at it tomorrow. I'am looking for a metal amp, and I think this could be what I'm looking for. I may not even have to pay cash for it, I have a pile of stuff to trade towards it. The sucky part is, I...

    An exercise in tonal possibilities

    I would definately wear pants while playing that monstrosity.

    Vegas crashing!!

    You should make backup copies of your .VEG files after each save. I lost several hours worth of work when Vegas crashed while saving, it lost the file completely. This won't help you with your problem, but may save you from a big headache.

    to tube or not to tube

    Stay far away from the Valvestate junk. I made the mistake of buying a VS100R. They sound decent at lower volume. The tone gets thin and wimpy when you up the volume. I heard lots people with nothing good to say about valvestates, I thought it was just "Tube Snob" propaganda. I had to try...

    Marshall Solid States

    I have a VS102R which is the 100watt 2x12 Valvestate combo. I use a Digitech RP200 into the clean channel and I think it sounds pretty good at low volume. I'am not too happy with the sound when I start pushing it past 4 or so. Volume goes up tone goes by-by. It sounds too thin to me at...

    Nickel or steel?

    Today I had decided that I wanted throw a set of 11's on my guitar, I went to my local string vendor and asked for a set of D'addario 11's and they were all out. I was suddenly faced with a dilemma, I had not used any other strings for years. Now I had to decide wich ones to get. I decided on...

    Line6 POD - Is it worth it ?

    I had a POD once but it pissed me off and I stomped the shit out of it while drunk. Before that had happend I thought it had sounded decent but it always had this annoying sharpness to it when using any of the distorted amp models. I solved the sharpness problem with a Hughes & Kettener Red...

    Vito Bratta

    He opened for "Danger Kitty" recently at some kid's Bar Mitzvah. I also heard that "White Lion" was working in Vegas with Seigfreid & Roy.

    POD and pedals...

    A "Hughes & Kettner" Red Box Pro between the guitar and the POD. It took off the graininess without muddying the sound. It also stopped annoying hums and buzzes. http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/startseite/specials.html Try backing off a bit on the guitar's volume, maybe around 7 or 8, that...
