This isn't too different from using a guitar amp for a harmonica live, which can sound super awesome in the right hands. Popular amps for this are the small, low-powered ones like a Fender Champ or a Pignose. Feedback is also a big problem and your best bet is to get the amp far away from the mic an...

You're not thinking of "Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch" by Weird Al Yankovich, right?

Really your best best option is to get a Weber that matches the impedance of one of the drivers in your cabinet, then crack open the cabinet and swap out the driver. You could put terminal lugs on the wires to make it easy to swap drivers back and forth or you could leave the Weber. I think you can ...

This is the second most hilarious web site I've ever visited after xkcd.com.

Oh yeah, welcome aboard!

Oh. Might have found something just like what you want. Check out the E-H Memory Boy.

The MiniFooger MF Delay probably sounds awesome also (I know its big brother does), but it's more expensive:

I spent more than a year researching and trying out all kinds of analog delay pedals, looking for something that had decent delay times and sounded great. I didn't even care about price. I did really want tap tempo, though. In the end, I just bought a DL-4. It's a big box but it sounds great and doe...

I doubt I'll be able to stomach the Behringer thing at all, but I'll have to give the Korg a shot. Not that I've really been a fan of anything Korg since I sold off my M1, but just in case. There are some new ideas going on out there in synths - Dave Smith is definitely keeping it fresh, the new Moo...

I just remembered that according to an Andy Johns interview, the main guitar tracks on Led Zeppelin's Black Dog were not played through a guitar amp, but instead run straight into the mixer and then two 1176es in series to get distortion. Most analog circuits can be hit hard enough to distort in som...

If she's ok with it, you might take a DI at the same time and then you can play around with re-amping or using different plug-ins in the box to get unusual sounds. On that front: one thing that makes normal guitar distortion sound smooth is the output transformer and speaker in the guitar amp, which...

Makes sense. I've never worked with a band or venue with enough gear or budget to make it worthwhile or even possible in most cases. I was thinking about wrong way monitors after I posted the question. With the take-your-head-off levels I've usually tried to get the right-way monitors at in the past...

In terms of fills for front and center audience members... I can't figure out how I would do that if I wanted to. Whatever is pointed there is going to have to compete with the stage spillage and not spill back onto the stage itself. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble and expense just to improv...

Also, the "Soundcheck" feature in the iTunes player (and iTunes Radio) seems like a pretty darn good idea. It's my understanding program material is automatically level-matched to the lowest common denominator, and as a result, more tastefully mastered content actually "sounds" louder than notably ...

It seems to me that the "loudest" possible recording has already been released. Some new releases have more headroom (crest factor, whatever you want to call it) and some have less, and it just depends on who is involved. On the listener side, it's so fragmented that trying to predict the final deli...

One of the distinguishing properties of drywall is that it has good fire control properties, due to the gypsum layer between the paper sheets. There might even be code implications of using anything other than drywall at least as the subsurface of walls and ceilings. Drywall will be most likely easi...

in their defense, live sound guys are sometimes just trying to find a way to make the rest of the band heard under/over/around some dimed amp stacks. This is a good point. Sometimes the bass player brings so much rig to a show that there's not even any bass in the PA and it's still painfully loud. ...
