Hey guys and gals. I'm looking for a mic under $400 for recording vocals. I owned a Rode NT1 as my first "real" mic and while I liked it, I felt like it had a flat response that didn't flatter my voice. I'm looking for something with a bit more character. Vocally I've tried the AKG c214, a few...

My beautiful sounding Martin USA DSR..

Hey guys, it's been a while. Hope you're all healthy and what not. I realize this is a majority electric players forum but I was hoping some people would have experience with one (or both!) of these pickups or if they could just give me recommendations for amplifying an acoustic guitar in...

Re: Let's See Those Acoustics! My Martin.

So I would normally play with the mid boost on. And crank it a bit for gain. Always sounded really good. After almost $1,000 of tech work by 3 different people today I cranked it and the crackling sound was still there. I was messing with it and pulling on the push pull pots. I noticed that as I...

Well, ****. It sounds a lot better at lower settings and all that stuff. It's a great sounding amp. But today was my first opportunity to crank it... and the problem is still ****ing there. I've officially put almost $1,000 into the repair of this amp and it still isn't fixed. I'm calling them...

I was having a strange issue with noise. Instead of feeding back like normal amps do it would go into a TV static sound. This has been going on for almost a year and it's been in and out of repair places. Unfortunately have had to put quite a bit of money into it. I bought a deluxe reverb to...

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while but I had a question. I moved from Michigan to New York a little over a month ago. The place I moved into was a very old home that actually had no electricity until a few years ago (I do have a wood stove though!! woot woot lol). It was actually completely...

Re: Rig Pics 2015 I added the ac+ a few days ago. Love it.

1980 Mesa MkIIB - For those that have followed the forum I've had issues with this amp for a while. At high volumes instead of feedback you just get a bunch of static. I went in and looked at the tube pins and put some contact cleaner and rust inhibitor on them. Now, there is just a loud humming...

I recently got a 68' Deluxe and put a Cannabis Rex in it. It sounds great and works better for what I do. I'm also moving out in a couple weeks so I don't have a ton of room and the Mesa is way too loud to use where I'll go. I've still had the static problem in the Mesa. I've contacted them...

About 3 months ago I was given a guitar by someone very close to me. It was a MIM HH Telecaster. I thought it would be cool to put a Pearly Gates in the bridge (ended up with a Pearly Gates Plus) and make it some sort of Esquire. The thing is that the guitar is dead. No resonance at all...

I'm trying to be self efficient when it comes to my guitars. I can do most things a tech can now, yippeeeee, but I've never messed with nuts. How difficult is this? And can anyone point me towards some good resources for getting started? Thanks. :)

Anyone use these on a regular basis or have experiences with them? I'm mostly looking at the newer Rivera's. I need a smaller amp for my coffee house gigs and I played a Venus 3 today. Basically a souped up Princeton and it sounded great. Are these handwired? How is the reliability? Any other...

I have a Mesa Mk II for those of you who don't know. I love the amp, great sounds, really versatile, can do everything I need it to but for the past 5 or 6 months I get this static that overpowers the guitar. It only happens when the volume is on 3 or above. It happens when the signal is dying...
