I used liquid electrical tape. It wears off in time, but is cheap and easy. Got it at Home Depot.

I am a long legged 6'1" and installed a 2" lift kit that got the body of the guitar off of my knees, but put the pedals at a bad angle. I just ordered some 1 1/2" rod extensions from:

Get something big enough to gig with unless you want to start an amp collection.

I found a used Pro Seat that has adjustable legs. I was using a Pearl drum throne with the bicycle type seat. Once I got everything height and ergonomically adjusted, I got the Pro Seat to the correct ...

The old Presonus Blue pres have a 12ax7 tube and can be found on e-bay for under 100. They also have two channels if you are using a stereo delay.

I am new to the PSG, and as with learning any other instrument or skill, I find it necessary to take a day or two off, and just think about what needs to be addressed next. Oversaturation can find one ...

I have one of these with a gooseneck.

Marty,

V1 -Soldano branded 12AX7
V2 - NOS GE JAN 5751
V3 - Mullard 4024 (12AT7)

You can really lower the volume on these amps if you are not careful. I played with the tube combinations for ...

A DI box with a pad would do it.

I would venture to guess that that amp was manufactured by Ampeg for Guild.

Apparently I've been a happy idiot with a new toy for several years now.

Lots of ways to monitor, but first you have to define what you want or need to hear to play to. Some people prefer a bass heavy mix, some want to hear the rhythm guitar and vocal, etc. From there you ...

I have a Goodrich Matchbox 7A. Not a tube driven box, but a nice sustainer with drive and tone controls that attaches to the leg of the guitar, and designed for use w/ the PSG.

Another thought is to practice recording yourself. Not an easy task for some to jump right in to, and you will always improve. It can be difficult to coax a good performance out of yourself when you a ...

Have you tried isolating the amp and miking? Stick it in a closet. There are actual cabinets built for studio use to isolate amps, but the closet trick works pretty well.
