Re: Mic pre in pedal form?

Get a passive lo-z to hi-z connector. If that's not enough gain, run it into a clean preamp pedal and then on from there. No need for a real mic pre, IMO. I will say that Scodiddly's Hamptone-based project from a couple years back could probably be set up to work on 9V--with 24V and a step-up transf...

Re: 2 Noisy Studer 169s - Fix it myself or hire someone to fix?

Is it a constant noise? White noise or 60 Hz hum? Sporadic pops? Does it change as you move pots/faders?

Probably the first/easiest thing to do is to clean pots, switches, & connectors. Even just exercising pots and switches can make a big difference, if that's where things are noisy.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Focusrite 18i20. The 18i8 was cool but didn't have enough outs for what I'd like to do with my setup, & a good deal came up locally.

Re: Video Overdubbing Software

Maybe look at the free version of DaVinci Resolve? It looks like the "Fairlight" section allows real-time audio recording for video. I'm not totally sure I understood what you're looking for, but it might do the trick, and it's free. It will tax an older system though.

Re: Mojo Nixon and Damo Suzuki

I hadn't seen about Damo Suzuki. He was scheduled to play here just before the pandemic. I think there may have been delays due to visa issues, and then covid fucked everything up. I believe this entire broadcast is somewhere on the youtubes, but what a freaking band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

McCurdy ever time.
Totally off topic, but is there any chance you could point me to documentation for the McCurdy AT241 line amp? I have a couple sitting in the basement, and your mention of McCurdy made me want to do something with them.

Re: Transducer use?

I inherited from a friend a while ago. I'm assuming it's a transducer but the xlr connector is female so he must have used it as some kind of a speaker? Possibly. Transducers can generally be used to transmit or receive. Typically a spring reverb will a transducer at both the sending and receiving ...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?

My sort of dark horse get-out-of-the-way preamp is the Event EMP-1. They're a bit hard to find these days but are typically under $100. They used security screws on them, so I finally bought a set of security bits to peek inside (plus one of mine had a busted IEC power plug that needed replacing). I...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Something from the Sweetwater Gear Exchange. When I noticed that the neck pickup is a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Staple P90 (which lists for more than the guitar cost), I decided to go for it. The pickup is pretty cool, as is the Gibson P90 in the bridge. The guitar itself I'm not yet crazy about--h...

Attachment limit issue?

This seems to be going around. I tried to post a picture & got this message: Error Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached So I deleted 2 or 3 pics I'd posted & tried again. Same message. Days later (today), I tried again. Same message. And at least one other forum member has encountered ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

"ERROR Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." so I'll try a pic later. I had the same issue. I deleted a couple of pics & could not post anything new (still cannot post anything new.) I think it's a board issue. EDIT: I posted a message to the TOMB subforum because it might get notice...
