    Power tubes, matched quad or 2 matched pairs ok?

    Too funny. Dumb luck I guess. I ran one EL34 and one 6L6GC by mistake for a long time. The bottle shape and Mesa label were exactly the same.

    whats a good 2x2 usb audio interface for PC?

    Other things to consider is if you want 4 outputs so you don't have to unplug your monitors to reamp or have a hardware send. MIDI I/O is another. USB buss powered or not. Can't tell for sure but I think wall wart versions are quieter.

    So bassists..?

    This will probably sound like a big pile of BS. But, I filled in on bass for these dudes a few times. The first night the guitarist brings his super nice SVT / 8x10. Best tone I ever had. That solid beefy low end and gnarly signature growl. It was a tone epiphany for sure. The next night I...

    Recomend me a 1U Rack Effects Unit...

    If its just for recording, use your computer for those fx. If the interface has 4 outputs you can send 2 to your power amp and mic it up.

    What is your favorite method of recording rock/metal guitars?

    You just need to figure out a few mix strategies for single guitar. Say like VH, guitar on the left with some verb on the right. Bass on the right with some verb on the left. Drums and vocals in the center. If its a solo guitar thing. Put the guitar in the center and try to move some of the...

    Advice for output transformer on custom build

    The Schumacher/old Fender stuff can sound really good. They are pretty durable too. The problem with them is limited secondary taps. Some are only 4 ohm. Either of those at 375-400V with cathode biased 6L6GC would make a cool hard rock amp. The Edcor's are cool because there are so many...

    Best video monitors for studio

    Have you already been using 4K on your computers? It's a big change. I really like the IPS screens better. They can be expensive for 4K. I got two LG 32" 1440p for $250-$300 ea. I think that is the sweet spot.

    Can someone explain the 8 ohms better than 16 ohms thing a bit?

    It doubles the reflected primary impedance of the output transformer. Doubles the load on the plates.

    Amp MV pot replacement.

    A common value for the resistor is 10K 2 Watt. Solder 6-8" of wire and an insulated (rubber boot) alligator clip to both sides and heat shrink the resistor. 22, 20, or 18 AWG wire is fine. Clip it to a bare metal spot on the chassis or a ground lug and then somewhere on the power rail. Pin 1...

    Unpopular Rigpinions V2

    -Mahogany and maple on one side, Swamp ash and maple on the other. In the hands of competent players = 1 point for team tonewoods. -It is not just the frequency response but the attack and transient shape and feel a different type of wood could contribute to the overall character of the guitar...

    2 Cabs = Twice the tone

    Our old band ran 4 cabs each at practice for a few years. Mic'd drums through the PA. Massively painful. Kinda ruined it. The last phase of the band we were all using combos and the mix in the room was great.

    Kirlin Cables. Are they any good?

    Haven't used them but they seem plenty nice. 20AWG is good. Braided shield is good. Hopefully it is all tinned.

    Do you kill the power to your Rig when done?

    When there is a lightning storm it's a good idea to unplug at least the good stuff.
