The problem: I was playing the other night with my band and there was a sudden and significant volume drop. The tone after the volume drop was also noticeably crackly/noisy. I immediately checked the power tubes for failure but none of the power tubes were brighter than the rest. So i powered...

I normally run from the 16ohm output on my DR into the 16ohm input on my cab. But the cab also has a 4ohm input for running in stereo. During practice last night i inadvertently plugged into the 4ohm input by mistake while running from the 16ohm output from the amp. There was a noticeable volume...

I'm looking for a smaller cab, likely a 2x12 that i can use in smaller rooms. I'm using a straight closed back Randall 4x12 with V30's that i'm pretty happy with for larger situations. Essentially right now i'm in two groups and want to use the DR for both, but the second group has a small...

Maybe i'm reaching a bit here, but i'm curious of anybody out there has used any of the BYOC (build your own clone) overdrive or boost pedals with their recto. I'm trying to decide between the TS808 clone and the triboost for my first build. The tubescreamer is apparently one of their more...

I finally got around to doing this yesterday but i don't think i'm entirely impressed with the results, though to be fair i haven't had the opportunity to run it through my main rig yet. It definitely made a noticeable difference but it really did rob the pickups of their EMG-ness. I like the...

I've been saving my pennies hoping to pick up a used Gibson LP on the cheap, but lately i've also been considering the EC-500. The EC-1000 would be ideal, but brand new it's a little out of my price range at the moment and they don't pop up used very often locally. Anyways, there is a guy...

Alright, i've been wrestling with this problem for a while. I can tune my guitar a 1/2 step and a full step down and it sounds great, but once i start going lower i lose most of the punch and attack from my 3-ch dual rec. I've recently switched to EMG's but I haven't done the 18V mod yet so not...

Like the title says, i'm going to be spending a few days in NYC around New Years. I've never been there before so i'd be interested to find a good music shop where i may be able to snag a deal or two on some used gear. The catch is that i won't have a car and having never been to the big apple...

There is a guy selling this locally and i'd like to know the model, when it was in production, what kind of speakers are in it and how many ohms it takes. Also, and quite possibly most importantly, how it would sound with a Dual Recto :twisted:

you can probably find a Nippon Gakki made (red label) Yamaha cheap on the bay or craigslist.

I just had a set of Zakk Wylde EMG's installed in my guitar but i'm finding that i've had to alter my playing style significantly by hitting the strings with much more force than usual when playing through my 3ch DR to get the response and punchiness i want out of these pickups. When i play...

there is one being sold locally for $950 CAN. Is this a good price? It seems awfully cheap but i don't know much about the Mark series. The ad says it's in excellent condition and that it's a black stripe. Thks

It's just an old beater that i'm going to need to do some work to, but i've always wanted to learn the play the banjo. My inner bumpkin is pleased. hyuk hyuk

Saw this on another board and thought it was cool... 1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote of...

Anybody dabble in this? I've decided that i would like to try it out so to get my feet wet (as i have no experience whatsoever with electronics!) i ordered this DIY bypass looper. Simple, no circuit board, minimal soldering...i'm hoping it should be a relatively easy project. I'm painting the...

Not this one specifically, but i found one that i'm pretty sure is identical to this (right handed though) in a pawn shop this weekend and i was wondering what they generally go for used. It had the licensed Floyd Rose with the tremolo bar and it looked to be in good condition. The store was...

has anybody done this before? i'm getting my girlfriend to create a design to go on my acoustic. it's a dreadnaught style with a flat top and i've asked her to design it like a stamp or silhouette with just 1 color, likely black but maybe an earthy red and to treat it like a tattoo (but no...

this one http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-G400-SG-Electric-Guitar?sku=518291 i don't know much about pickups but i'm planning on replacing the stock ones in this (with some help from a friend :wink: ) and i'm looking for some suggestions. Keep in mind that this guitar isn't...

wrong forum :oops:

I bought a used 3 channel dual recto off ebay this weekend for a pretty reasonable price, so my fingers are crossed that it works as well as advertised. I also bought a Randall R412CB cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30's to go with it. I hope i made the right choice cause once i import this...
