we have an american legion hall in the town where i live that i would love to record in. also an old methodist church.

i really like old buildings and wish i could own a small-ish one someday . . . sigh.

I haven't posted here in a LONG time, but anyone have any use for the following: 2 old fender pa column speakers 4x8 in rough, but working shape. 1 speaker has a hole in it but still works: $50 for the pair. 1 old shure "vocal disaster" pa cabinet. i think it is a 4x8 (might be 4x6?). works great. i...

anyone else going through detox like i am???

hey everyone: i read an interview awhile ago about them crooked vultures and josh homme said that he liked to use a "magnetic film reader" as a super crazy low wattage guitar amp. i believe what he is referring to is also shown in that youtube video of liam lynch and josh homme messing around with t...

i'm selling my tasca 58 machine with a take up reel and MRL calibration tape. it was serviced by a former TEAC/TASCAM tech in the chicago area who said that it is now in great working condition and the heads have thousands of hours left. the only issue with it is that the meter on channel 6 is crack...

Anyone have any advice/experience moving a BX20? We're moving it on its side in an automobile. Not on its side. but if you have to, just put some foam under the cage inside to keep it from collapsing or stretching out the mounting points. Its pretty robust. Then drive it to central IL... take inter...

Impedance and resistance are not the same thing. That's why a 16 ohm speaker will not read 16 ohms on your meter. ok, i understand what you are saying, here is how i got the # that i got: i took a fluke automotive meter, set it to the ohm/speaker setting (yes, it has one of those) and tested it. ac...

thanks for your help. i thought it would be ok, but i wanted to make sure!

if i have a speaker cabinet that reads out as 14.56 ohms, can i use the 16 ohm jack on my amp w/o any problems?

thanks for the tip!

now, what happens if i leave the leads in the "flipped" position but use the cab in a 1 amp setup. will it sound weird?

awesome. i'll try it.

depends on what the preamp tubes are doing. Not all tubes do the same thing. It's not about counting tubes... it's about counting stages of gain. Have a look at the schematics for your two amps and count the stages of gain. Something like a tremolo oscillator is not a stage of gain and will not inv...

There are some people who claim to be able to hear a difference. The idea being that the initial attack should push the speaker outward first. I think that's all hooey, but some people's kids... The OP seems to have proven that his amps are not of opposite polarity, and it must be something in his ...

The production does sound a bit more "slick" than I would expect from the musical style, but it doesn't sound bad. The guitars actually sound pretty right on, to my ear. I could use a bit more grit and punch to the bass tone and some more room sound on the drums. That's purely my taste though, good...

so on saturday i took a tuner pedal and split my signal and ran into both amps: no polarity issues, so i went back and rewired my pedalboard so it is a mono signal, split with a tuner right before the amps. hope this solves it.
