yeah, there's a little more about the rock writer's convention than most people would care about, but most of those folks also provide some of the most fascinating interviews in the film. there's also more deep and personal info about Chris Bell than I've seen from just about any other source. espec...

sold!

nothing wrong with a 57 on acoustic guitar!

it's a veritable Boston-area nerd convention up in here! Mike, can you post a photo of the bottom of the mic, where the clip would attach? that might help in determining its vintage. a black 421 with an XLR connector is likely a U4 or U5. does it have the bass roll-off switch? I had a real helpful c...

hey, just posting this on the off chance someone's got one of these suckers lying around. I have a 1/4" Otari MTR-10-II and could really use the extender card to get down deep with my calibrations.

thanks!

8-track 1/2"? cassette? shouldn't be too difficult a transfer.

the "Rain" bass is also compressed to hell. that's probably the EMI-modded Altec.

if we're throwing in righteous 60's bass examples, I'll put up "These Eyes" by the Guess Who. Incredible melodic sense, tone, and feel.

I'm really intrigued with that 506 rack.

need to add to my current 500-6B, and two of the Lindells look like a better bet than a single Purple, API, or BAE rack.

there's been a whole lot of things said about this on g____lutz. who knows how much of it is hearsay, but it doesn't exactly stir confidence.

well yeah, in addition to saving space I'm really looking for a multi-use piece. also something that doesn't require reamp/DI patching like a pedal effect. that's another reason I'm starting to think about the Eventide ModFactor & PitchFactor, they can handle line level.

man, that Vortex front panel looks annoying as hell. it sounds good?

I'm starting to think I should look at the Eventide ModFactor & PitchFactor units. expensive, tho.

this could get deep when you put "best" into play. I'll second the Isleys for most righteous jet phaser fuzz guitar, certainly. first flanging I think was "Itchycoo Park" by the Small Faces. was the first stereo phasing the stuff on Axis: Bold As Love ? I'm pretty sure the first use of the Fender Rh...

When I was a college bar sound dude I really liked the grainy reverbs on the SPX-90, because they cut through nicely for those all-important 80's reverbed toms. I'm going for the opposite of that sentence. I say this with nothing but love, as a fellow live guy! seriously, nothing trashy/grainy/low-...

how do the SPX-90, -900, and -990 stack up? I'm used to having to use some severe low-pass on the -90's reverbs in live situations to deal with the hash & noise. is that the case with all the programs, or with the other units?

Look for a used Kurzweil Mangler. I agree. The Mangler is a great little box, and who doesn't want to own something called a MANGLER? I can dig that logic! Mangler seems cool, even if just for modulation effects. how's the pitch shifting? Don't forget the Eventide Harmonizer. It's a weird and wonde...
