Hi everyone - some minor tech advice required if anyone knows the answer. I need to replace my 'Lead Gain' control as the push-pull switch is broken. I have had a couple of the push-pull pot shafts break and have had reasonable success drilling, gluing and pinning them but in this case the...

What are your current settings?

Get a loop switcher like the Carl Martin Octaswitch (http://carlmartin.com/octa_switch_mk2/), Moen GEC9 (http://www.moenfx.com/gec9.html), the Rocktron Loop 8 (http://www.rocktron.com/controllers.html - there's a rack and floor version) GCX audio switcher or (http://www.voodoolab.com/gcx.htm)...

Just got me a MkIV off ebay in Newcastle - S/N 12942. Guy had re-housed the head in an oak box and it's very nice, he had to take the reverb out to do it though. Still got the original Boogie head shell with the reverb tank. Got the FU-3 switch with it too, of a lovely retired chap who now...

When I got my Studio Pre (nth hand of e-bay, made in Spring 1990) I thought the reverb was terrible. I took the tube out and the pins were caked in corrosion, I scraped it off and it was amazing! It sounded, on 1, like it had on 10 previously. So have a look at that, also check whether the...

The reverb tube should be a 12AT7, I recently replaced my original (from 1990) reverb tube with and electro-harmonix one and it works great. Turns out the ancient Mesa one was fine, just needed lots of crap scraped off the pins. This thread has also reminded me I need to but new power tubes...

You can use all the outputs at once if you want, the recording outputs are in parallel with the main outs, they just have a filtering circuit on them to give the power amp + speaker tone. Why do you want to use main A + recording B rather than main A and recording A, for example? The onlyissue...

I have a Behringer PEQ2200 and it does the job fine. They're out of production but can be picked up on ebay dead cheap. I've heard the Presonus EQ3B is very good for what you wanna do, saw it on here a while ago - have a look at Fleming Rassmusen's recording notes for the actual settings used...

Could it be a ground loop? Does either the GSP or Triaxis have a ground-lift switch? If so lift one of the grounds.

I recorded my leads on my old band's demo (using the 'recording' outputs of my 1990 Studio Pre into a Tascam DP-008) with an MXR Distortion+ in the effects loop (output at full, distortion at 9:00) and it added a unique sound. Different to my main rhythm tone (vol ~8, Master ~8, Treble ~8, Bass...

I think you mean 'Small Clone', the 'Stone' is a phaser. I have a Small Clone and I really like it. I use it in the loop of my Studio Preamp and it sounds ace on both channels. A bit much on the lead channel possibly for some but as an incidental effect it definitely has its place, a few folk...

Isn't this what James Hetfield does?

I run my studio pre into a wee 5W amp I made from a kit and it's awesome for playing in the house (I'd totally record with it too). For 'Loud' I go into a Marshall 8008 and that sounds great too (I run it on the 'Linear' setting which is solid state). Re: your buzzing - are both your pre and...

To keep a studio pre tight in the low end withch the lead fat ON and keep the lead bright OFF What are your mid and bass settings? I set them at 3 at the absolute highest, especially w.r.t the bass. What are your graphic EQ settings? The bass control (80Hz) is much tighter here due to the EQ...

I get a pretty solid metal tone out of mine, I set the clean to be as pushed as possible without actually breaking up. I've had mine about three years and it was made in March/ April 1990. Here are my settings: Volume 8 Master 6 Treble 8 Mid 0-3 Bass 0-4 Reverb to taste Lead gain 10 Lead...

I absolutely agree with what boola said! I bought a Studio preamp about 3 years ago and paired it with a Marshall power amp and I got the tone that's been in my head for years (a sort-of Metallica/ Megadeth/ Iced Earth rhythm tone). I'd kind've always wanted the felxibility of a simple...

I've played with a Maxon 808 and a boss OS2 (set to the overdrive side. Both sounded pretty slammin' but my current favourite is a slightly modified MXR distortion +. I've had this for a while but found the output rather low, however I added an LED in series with each of the clipping diodes...
