i think they might have a slightly different pattern. i use both live all the time. i need to adjust monitor placement depending on which one i use. beta 57 manual: "For maximum rejection of unwanted sound, place the stage monitor or P.A. system loudspeaker at a 60? angle from the rear of the Beta 5...

once again i'm going to weigh in with a vote for the crown dc-300.. these amps are design classics, and solid workhorses.. plus an early model would be of the same vintage (1974 baby!) more or less as your jbls.. and that's classy. i currently use a dc-300a and a pair of ns-10s with a subwoofer.. un...

i have a morley "rotating power wah" which is the oil can echo plus morley wah. can be used together or separately. its totally unique and can get quite spacey on the more extreme settings. i got a bottle of the special oil on ebay but for now i leave well enough alone as it works pretty well.

i agree with the previous post! i toured with vintage soul preacher, big muff, memory man and bad stone in my rig every night and these pedals never let me down. if you need help/upgrades with your old eh stuff, ron neely II is the man. just plugged in my 12ay7 for the 1st time tonight and it fired ...

the main reason for buying a vintage amp is servicability. Sound notwithstanding. Damn near any repair to a silverface-or-earlier Fender will cost $75 tops and take an hour if the tech is honest. It will cost $10 tops and 30 mnutes if you do it yourself, which is surprisingly easy. Except transform...

i don't know about using hifi gear for a monitoring situation. i would suspect that would color the sound more than you might want.. i have been powering my ns-10's with an 80's crown dc300a (later black version).. it's straight power, a good match for the speakers. if anything it can be somewhat ha...

i'd go with a silverface fender over any of the reissue blackfaces or the hotrod series.. or anything else that has been mentioned so far. that deluxe sounds like a decent deal. a decent amp tech can get a silverface sounding sweet.. deluxe reverb, super reverb, pro reverb and twin are all going to ...

not wanting to add to the controversy here.. but, LEAVE YOUR EARS ALONE! in most cases they will naturally eliminate wax, they do not need your help to do this. ask an e/n/t specialist.. most will tell you this. i have very waxy ears, and it's my opinion (and that of my audiologist) that this has ac...

i've been running a pro tools 001 setup for about 5 years, last summer on the advice of our guitarist i invested in an apogee rosetta 800, and it made all the difference in the world to the quality of my recordings and mixes. after my board (allen&heath saber) i would say its the next most important...

really compared to programming an MPC, asr/x or a new keyboard these are pretty easy..
just sucks that certain important things are not mentioned in the manual.. i guess that's why foums like this exist!
