I have a 21 space rack set up for guitar with all sorts of 'digital' multi effects. But I also have a tray that holds 3 or 4 analog pedals that I can make part of the loop. Sometimes analog just soun ...

I have a Japanese Fender Tele (Foto Flame)with a Glaser B & G bender in it. The round trip price was about $975 if I recall correctly. However, aside from their impeccable work, I hope you have patie ...

Waisznor, thanks for the offer, but I was just hoping to get some feedback as to how people like Sammy Shelor picks for playing steel at this point. Thanks again.

Has anyone tried Sammy Shelor Stainless Steel fingerpicks? They were made primarily for banjo players. They are also $30 a pair!!! Alledgedly work well on steel. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm temp ...

Bob, I don't know if there is a good mail order source for these jacks for the following reasons: It seems that most of the suppliers are looking for a quantity sale. I prefer Switchcraft and Neutrik ...

Steve, the beads are actually for inside a noisy component that picks up interferrance. Unless you know your way around inside a power amp, I'd leave that to a qualified tech. However, ferrite cores ...

Steve, it just occurred to me ask you this. Is this external jack arrangement to provide strain relief on the cords? What I mean is that if somebody trips over the speaker cords behind your rack the w ...

Steve, yes don't power up the power amp without a speaker load on it. Although, if you don't pass a signal through your system, it probably will not do anything. But I wouldn't chance it. There are a ...

For the safety of the rack, I would use the same type of speaker cord that you would use without the rack jack. Make sure there is a speaker load on it so you don't fry your amp. I would not "chop off ...

Ray, that hiss is because you are using a high gain, tube amp. Maybe a noise gate would take that out. Noise gates can be dialed in to cut out things like hiss and hum when you are not playing. All th ...

The crackling noise as the sound fades, otherwise known as "rocks in the tail", is inherent to digital processors. It is especially noticeable with reverb and distortion. Digital processing turns sou ...

Thanks for the input, guys. I ordered one about a week ago. It seems they are back ordered about 3 weeks or so.

OOps! My error. MosValve 500 is the model when Tubeworks made them. It is now a MosValve 1500. Same model, different name.

Check out Tubeworks (now owned by Genz-Benz) MosValve 500. Plenty of power, reliable, sound good, reletively cheap. They are solid state. I hear that Paul Franklin uses them. If you want a tube power ...

I been reading a bit about LeMay mods and Peavey mods in this forum and elsewhere. Does the Peavey Nashville 1000 need a mod, or can it be dialed in to "the zone" ??

I know this thread is getting a little long in the tooth, but I just joined this forum, so I couldn't post before that. I first got a Mesa studio pre-amp a few years back for regular 6 string electri ...
