hey guys, i've been working on a song of mine for a few days, and my guitars sound too fizzy and they dont "stand out" enough in the mix. its almost there, kinda like how diet pepsi ALMOST tastes like the real thing, but not quite.. Im using a crappy B-52 amp (i know, i know!) through an avatar...

hello, i play a peavey xxx head, and today during band practice the amp's sound would start fading away until the amp wasnt making any noise, but the amp was still on and the tubes were still glowing. it would then start working again a few minutes later, only to die out again soon after. now...

hello all, i run a peavey xxx head through a 4 ohm stereo avatar cab, and when I plug in one of my speaker outs, it only plays through on side. if I plug in both of the speaker outputs it plays out of both sides of the cab, but it doesnt sound near as full as when I play through just 1 side. So...

hello all, I recorded a quick track of one of our songs yesterday, just to be able to listen to the drum tracks and make guitar for it. but after i added guitars, it actually sounded good. were gonna start recording young bands with no money who cant pay for real studio time at my drummers...

hello all, I bought a peavey xxx head back in the summer of '08 because i needed a louder amp for a gig. I had played them and remembered liking them, but it had been awhile since i had played one when i bought it. (I got it used off ebay) i also bought a cheap peavey windsor cabinet out of...

hello all, I'm really excited because I have an excuse to buy a new amp for the gig I got for my band on the 22nd. I'm selling my crate v1512 because its not loud enough and I'm looking to get a amp head. (I already have a cab) but I'll have about 350 to spend and I'm wondering if yall have any...

can i disconnect the speaker from my crate v1512 and remove the power amp tubes, then plug what would go into the speaker into my presonus firepod? i want to try direct recording into the computer because i cant get the right tone from miking my amp. and i have no money for a preamp or new amp...

the story begins when i decided to play the crappy lil crate mx15 solid state amp that my friend had left at my house. and i was pleasantly surprised. it was the best sounding solid state amp ive ever played! so i was thinkin that until i get endorsed by marshall, i might try to find this amp in...

i have a crate v1512, and i love the sound, but its too quiet for my tastes. I have a crazy scheme of of taking out the pre/power amp section and disconnecting the power amp tubes and making a little case for it. thus, making my own little pre amp. then i would buy a power amp thats loud enough...

i own it, and the manual didnt explain anything at all, so I'm coming to yall for assistance. when i record say a rythym guitar, and a lead over it. i record the rythym, and then record the lead while i can hear the rythym playing so i dont screw up. when i play it back. the lead track has...

i know this isnt in the right forum, but does anyone know any tips for creating loops for drums using Cakewalk's Sonar 4 XL software. ive recorded the drums but i cant figure out how to make a darn loop... thanks,

hello all, since ive started a band, i need a louder amp i am low on cash, but i am convinced i can get a good tone for that little if i do my research before i buy something i own a crate v1512, and i love it. would the v30 head be loud enough? if not, what other suggestions would yall have...

yeah yeah, wrong forum, but more people look here... but lets get to the matters at hand, what do i need for recording? i have cakewalk studio 6, or something. and i have two decent microphones and i have a behringer mixer what else do i need to adequetly record, if i dont have enough...

i need a much larger amp. i currently have a crate v1512, and i yearn for one of those huge half stacks. but im only 15 and i dont really have any money. so, do yall have any recomendations for a moderatley priced head (it can be used). im tihnking no more than 600 dollars used. im gonna buy a...

I am getting into recording now and I found that you can record directly with a preamp. i don't need a louder amp yet, so i was thnking that i could use a preamp for recording, and eventually buy a power amp when the time comes. i am somewhat convinced that i would be better of buying rack gear...
