That's looks very cool. I really need to spend a few bucks and get some Monitors, but I'm still on the guitar tone quest.
My latest buy was at a little guitar show. I picked up an old TS-10 Tube Screamer stomp box. I've been taking it around to music stores and compairing it to all kinds of new overdrive pedels and nothing is sounding as good.
Also, I just took my Jap Strat in for a real pro setup. He lowered my action a little too much though. It's harder now to get deep bends, but it's really easy to play the fast stuff. I think I'm going to buy a good 6 inch ruler today and check the measurement of the pickup hight and then rise the action up and bring up the pups to match.
Yeah,
It's a fun little piece of gear, kind of like the toaster oven of gear.
You can mix line in, aux, and mic/instrument.
Five band eq is a nice touch, especially since the speaker that come with it suck. You know me, and tweeters. They are also ported, and sound way to boxy.
I may try modifiying them, block the ports, try them without the tweeters running, see if they improve. I may luck out, if the woofers are full range.
The first thing I tried was plugging it into my laptop, going to a midi Beatles site, plugging my guitar into the mic/instrument input, and playing Fool on the Hill with full midi instrumentation. This could be addictive!!
This is going to be a fun piece of gear, if for nothing else, it will make a great stereo practice amp, at way less cost than most mono amps, not to mention built in five band eq, and decent mixing capability built in.
