my rack philosophy: first: a spreadsheet is your friend. It'll let you move boxes around to get a feel for where you'd like things to be without having to physically rack anything. Spreadsheets are great for patchbay design, too. You will be using them, right? Make a few columns for top row of poin...

yes, i'm loving the book, but mine was pretty banged up too. no big deal at all though. the only reason i'm bothering adding to the thread is that perhaps that third party seller should be reconsidered for volume 3 - given the complaints that came down the line about some folks' ordering debacles, ...

That is a sweet deal! Unfortunately, I didn't get the coin I expected this week, so I have to pass. Someone needs to jump on this though! I found it to be a great pre paired with a 4047 (vox), 414B/ULS (el gtr, vox), and TAB-Funk 57 (el gtr). Jens is a flippin' genious! Best of luck! And keep puttin...

This sounds like the pair I have, and I wouldn't mind having another. What options does it have? What faceplate/paint/knob? Pic?

Yeah, this is really sad news. Bo Diddley was one of the biggest reasons why I picked up a guitar; I got my first one within 9 months of seeing him live. He's also one of the biggest reasons why I kept playing. That Bo Diddley Beat is infectious and fun. I listened to his Chess Box last night and wa...

Interesting space. Where exactly are the stairs located, to the left of the kit? Any idea what the previous owner used to fill the wall cavity of the 1/2 wall? You may want to start there and check for insulation, as well as give some attention to the wall facing the kick. Try putting one of the bas...

[/quote]I also spent some time today trying to track down replacement covers for the patchbay labels. Just the little plastic strips, not the entire assemblies (Swtchcraft part number tt503). The best I could find was one dealer who could order them and get them in 6-8 weeks. Bleh.[/quote] Chris, di...

I'm in. If it's show & tell, I could bring my lunchbox w/ Eisen pres and LILPEQrs, zerotronics MINI-LE, and Mercenary-modded 57. If it's just beers, we could meet at Rock Bottom Brewery again; that worked out pretty well last time.

I ordered some Groove Tubes 12AX7M Mullard reissues for my original VLA. They're on backorder, so I've been using it stock. Not too shabby. I'll report back after the new tubes arrive. I just picked up the RNC, too. I've only had a few days to mess with it, but I know it's staying in the rack. Thank...

Right on! But you know Tony's right. LOL I thought of something else that you might want to take into consideration. With the extra channels on the board, are you going to need additional lighting? It'd be easier to make adjustments sans console, not to mention the clean up - drywall dust is such a ...

Those handy, precut velcro strips that used to be like 3 for $5 are now sold in bulk rolls at HD, like $5 for 50. I use them all over the place now. I was just professing my love for velcro strips last night while moving stuff around on my patchbay. That, and my Stanley tripod LED flashlight - pric...

What you want is a Fender tube reverb, but those aren't in a 19" rack package. Boy, a good one sounds like the springs God has access too... Yeah, those Fenders ('63 Reverb I think) are pretty nice. I almost bought one about a decade ago. Have you looked at the Zerotronics CoolSprings? I have a MIN...

I'd like to know more about the guitar and drum tracking on Sky Blue Sky. Nels just sounds incredible, and Tweedy's no slouch either; I was very impressed with his playing at a solo show about a year or two ago. I picked up the deluxe version of SBS with the DVD. The performances in the loft were gr...

I'm renting a house with an unfinished basement, and needed to come up with a temporary fix for my basement studio. I wanted to keep the cables off the cement floor; my concern being more about flooding since the foundation walls have broken away and sunk below the slab, but my solution may work for...
