So if you're mounting something like a 2U tube power amp in a rack with a 2U processor do you need more than a 4U rack? Is heat dissipation really a concern or more of an internet forum phenomena. I couldn't find anything in the Randall, Fryette, or Mesa manuals saying there needed to be extra...
Just wondering how the process goes and what I can expect to pay.
I have a 20th Shiva that I'd like to get some changes made to either the EQ or Gain structure. Seems no matter what I plug in to it guitar or speaker wise, the gain sounds have this hollow mid range, kind of like blowing in to...
Anyone know what the preamp tube layout is for these? I want to try and dial out some of the top end sizzle with the higher gain settings and would prefer not to do it using trial and error.
Anyone know reliable source that doesn't charge a small fortune? Just looking to replace a Shiva shell and Bogner doesn't sell them separate.
..... Or how tough is it to recover? Mojo seems to be reasonable on materials.
Anyone using EMG's in a guitar for something other than metal? I know they have the rep at excelling at that, but inroad that originally they were designed to be studio use ultra responsive low noise pickups for guys in the seventies.
Seriously thinking a set in just to see how I like them...
I've been pretty happy with direct recording my amps ever since I found out how to use impulse responses as plugins and the line out from a THD hotplate.
Wondering if any of you have some favorite preamps to use for this application. Just trying to avoid burning out all my power tubes when...
Are there any other amps that do clean like the Shiva? I thought I remember that the clean channel was almost identical to a Fender somethingoranother....
Anyone using a THD Hotplate in the load setting, with a line out to your interface, and a VST + Impulse response for recording? If so, how do you like it? (or dislike it)
After trying one, I'm starting to believe the hype. They are definitely well beyond any software or othe processor I've tried. I know a lot of you guys have had one and then sold it down the road. Let me know if you had the standard or ultra, how long you had it, and why you decided to sell...
Any math or science that I should be aware of here besides getting a piece of plywood and cutting? I'm looking for a different sound out of my Orange PPC212.
If you've done it before, let me know any tips or tricks you used to get just the right size.
Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of advice on this. I have a Mesa Dual Rectifier that has already had the Standard mod done, probably six years ago at least. I haven't played it much in the last couple of years as I've preferred my VHT Deliverance.
I've been trying to like the Mesa...
Had a chance to check out a friends head (EL34) over the weekend. I've been looking for a good channel switching head and the cleans on this were pretty damn amazing. The overdrive channel was good too, but just didn't do it for me. Anyone know of any other heads that get similar clean sounds...
