Something akin to this, maybe?

Thinking about getting one of those Evans Hydraulic kick heads. Looking for a nice thick boom, that's not too flubby.

How do they record?

I did close mic'ing and GJ for a while and ended up just muting the tom mics and falling back on the GJ it sounds so much better, in my normal situation. The other week I had another drummer in and he was so cymbal heavy, I was like, damn, needs to be close mic'd, so I guess it's always situation de...

Coupling caps are the ones that join signal stages together. The signal passes through them.

De-coupling caps are the ones on the power line, or sometimes signal lines to ground, basically they couple the unwanted signal to death.

So in that diagram, things like C191 and C252 are coupling caps.

If you normally play with two amps, how do you normally have them setup? Part of the equation would be it sounding right at the time of playing, so I'd set them up however you normally set them up, and mic to suit. I play with a lead amp and a bass amp, I keep the lead amp up front with me, and clos...

A stereo pultec is my next diy, primarily so I can do some of this very type stuff properly. Just racked some cheapie eqs that do a passable imitation and now I want more. I enjoy finding ways of boosting low- end to the edge of saturation and then hi-passing it tame again, tracking bright and then...

I just 3 mic the drums, I've tried it other ways, it always sounds best to me. I dunno if we're psych, I often feel kinda spaced out

There's also the taking it of the repro idea, which I'd use if I was going for a tape sound. You record to tape, but at the same time feed the repro from the tape into the DAW. Therefore your tracks have 'tape sound' but are in a DAW already. The tape is just like an effect, once you've recorded the...

Yeah, I have a nice bag of REAN but they were wire mount, so they had loops not pins

My bad sorry. KLM is the Dutch Airlines which I have flown on. The amp which I salvaged the part from is a KMD.

Good call on the stoner pedal, it's an old black Russian Muff, the only good sounding Muff I've encountered. However it had it's jacks the standard way around, it's the KMD that is weird.

Well the amp is a KLM?

This is an odd one, I was replacing a bad jack in a pedal, and I pulled a jack out of an old amp board someone had given me, as I didn't have any of those 'headphone switching' style jacks with PCB pins. All went smoothly, replacement jack came out of it's board cleanly, the one to be replaced came ...

Maybe give Kevin a look then, depending on what you need to do, he'd pretty reasonable, I think under $450 covers pretty much everythign he does except the massive touchstyle things. http://krappyguitars.com From his pricing: TWIGGY EUB (electric upright bass) Standard scale length of 34", 1 EMG sty...

There was a sekova upright in GC a little while back, lemme check. Damn it's gone. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Sekova/Vintage-1960s-ELECTRIC-STAND-UP-BASS-Upright-Bass.gc You could look at Steve Wishnevsky for doing you an upright he does them now, he also does those upright tiki basses which l...

One of the marketing points on these Revelation guitars is their Entwhistle pick-ups, which do sound great, like a smoother, hotter P-90 ... Other things I look forward to trying on the VI is slide, and the Ebow ... I'm a big Mark Sandman fan, so I like his "low guitar" stylings. So you got a six s...
