I checked suggestion with reverb, no difference. The treble pot and loop bypass seem to affect it the most. Channel 2 is totally fine regardless of reverb or loop settings...

Hey all, Quick question... My LSC has static and noise on channel one (intermittent). I have checked guitar cables etc. Noise is only on channel one. I have swapped pre-amp tubes one at a time, but still cannot isolate source. I can change the noise by making adjustments with treble pot. I have...

Well, I picked it up yesterday! I really like this guitar. The 12" radius feels like my Les Paul but sounds like a Strat. I played the white one and even went to SamAsh and looked for another one to compare. They didn't have an EJ, but I tried the Yngwie model because I have been looking at that...

I have a chance to pickup a new Eric Johnson Strat for $1,000.00 with case... deal or no deal? Sunburst or White (I need to play the white one yet)

Hey all, My son wants a guitar for Christmas. I found a Yamaha RGX 312 for $100.00. It is H/s/s with coil tap. Seems like a no-brainer, but I thought I'd ask here because I have no experience with Yamaha electrics. What do you think? Thanks in advance. JoeVFR

Hey guys, I primarily use Cubase LE4 for midi. A big pain with it is I can't use EZ Drummers multi outs. I checked out Reaper and actually prefer its GUI. Is it pretty stable? I would like buy it rather than spend $200 to upgrade to Cubase 4. I use a VS2400 to record audio, but it would be nice...

Rotary is on this one... Equipment has a nominal level where it works best. For most, it is now 0bdvu which equates roughly to -18dbfs on DAWS. You will hear the argument about not using full bit depth if you don't record closer to 0bdfs. It may have been more of a problem with 16 bit recording...

Great clip, Chuck Berry, the original diva...

The LoneStar Special is a great amp. The LoneStar Classic is another one to consider. It is 6l6 and a lot of players like it with humbuckers. The new model is able to be run at 100/50/10 watts. You can also use el-34's with it. I have the classic and play a Strat and Les Paul. They both sound...

+1 on the LoneStar. I have the older classic without the 10 watt option. I am sure it is even more versatile, but I haven't gotten all the sounds out of this one yet. I haven't even tried the EL34's either. This amp in not going anywhere soon. Enjoy yours!

I am using a Roland VS2400. It is a great all in one unit. I use it to record our band, and do recording at home. In that regard, the portability is great. I also run a VGA monitor with it, so the display is easy to work with. The Roland units have a card that runs third party software, so you...

Most people will mic the cabinet and run that through a channel in the mixing board. You can get different tones by experimenting with mic placement. It's very easy and very flexible. Depending on the size of the gig, you could just play without going through the PA.

I have an older one and I am very happy with it. I wish it would have had the 10 watt option when I got it, but I won't be trading mine in anytime soon. If I do anything, it would be pick up a LSS to go along with it. I see posts with guys changing the tubes but to be honest, I have gigged with...

My setup Roland VS2400 Shure SM 57, 87A Alesis SR16 Sometimes I'll use my old RP-10 direct into the VS. Other times, LSC with a Strat and a Les Paul. Most effects done through VS

That's an easy switch to miss, but makes a huge difference. The LSC has a lot more gain when you engage the drive switch.
