Interesting stuff. I used to use a DOD wah-wah that was controlled by a variable capacitor instead of a variable resistor (tone pot) like most wah pedals. Rock forward, lots of highs, rock back, no h ...

Vibrosonics were made in the late 50's, early 60's. Vibrosonic Reverbs were the later ones, in the 70's & 80's.

Seems silly to get excited over a tuner pedal, but man, the Peterson Stomp Classic is really nice. Very versatile, not to mention indestructible.

PostForum Section: Electronics   Posted: 10 Nov 2014 9:34 pm   Subject: Unexpected method of increasing bass response
But to me, an instrument amp is, to some extent, a tone producer, not just a tone reproducer. If it sounds good, it is good.

Yes!

The corner is a good trick. Also, try mass coupling, which means setting something heavy on your amp. If you are on any sort of riser you can get a huge difference in bass response.

I think there are more variables at play than just indoor/outdoor or open back vs closed. Humidity can play a big role in both how a speaker behaves and how sound travels. The surface the amp is sitti ...

Depends on what you want. Generally speaking, open back cabs will be brighter sounding, accentuating the highs. They will be more omnidirectional, and sound pretty well-rounded, natural. Low end can b ...
