Can I plug my mic into my RP350 and then into my amp if I use an impedance matcher or will it hurt something.

My buddy wants to replace the stock pickups on his Epiphone SG deluxe tremolo. He plays mostly classic rock (Zeppelin ect) He only has a 15w solid state line 6 amp. The distortion on it obviously sounds harsh. What would you recommend for a good set of pickups for that guitar to maybe lessen the...

My jacks been cutting out on my dkmg and I pulled it out and its a different style jack with 2 black wires and a green instead of a black and white. Are these stock jacks cheap and should I install a switchcraft? If so, how do I wire it?

I bought a classic rock amplug after hearing the demos but when I used it it sounded nothing like the demos. It sounds like the thinnest most harsh tone I've ever heard. I don't know how anyone could think it sounds good. :poed:

I have an rp350 and a lot of the presets are way louder then just my amp volume. I was just wondering if this will hurt the amp. Should I turn them down?

I bought a digitech rp 350 a few years back. I was wondering individual stompboxes produce better sounding effects than a multi effects pedal? It says I can get actual stompbox sounds out of it(eg boss metalzone) but are they really that close? Are most stompbox distortions analog and multi...

I bought a TS-7 tubescreamer and something seems off. It sounds great but all my strats 5 positions are noisy instead of the usual 1, 3 and 5 positions. What could be wrong?:boggled:

I know his hamiltone had lace sensors or something in it when he got it but he changed them around 85' or so. Just wondering if anyone knows what they put in that guitar at the time? Did they make texas specials back then?

I pulled my cheap TS5 out today and the input and output jacks were cutting in and out when I wiggled the cables. I took the pedal apart but wondered if I need new jacks or just to wet the solder joints? I was wondering too if I can even buy the jacks?

My input jack on my traynor ycv 80 is scratchy and cutting out sometimes. Is it pretty easy to get at so I can solder a new one on or can I just clean it?

I was wondering where you can buy pickup magents? Also I wondered if anyone has changed the magnet in the alt 8 and how they liked it? What is involved in changing the magnet?

I just got some texas specials and the resisiance I measured on 2 pickups was off. The neck is suppose to be 6.2 and its 5.9. The middle is suppose to be 6.5 and is 6.7. Is this normal? Also there was glue in the holes where the screws are suppose to go.

I would have asked at fender but he never respond to emails so here it is. I was wondering what the 8/64 bass and 6/64 treble means on the fender site for pickup height. I know you don't set all three the same height so which pickup are they giving measurements for and what do I set the other 2 at?

I bought an epiphone korina flying V and want to replace the pickups. I want a classic rock les paul style sound if possible(Zeppelin etc) Also, what color would look best besides the gold that it came with?

I have a fender mexican strat. It's tuned down half step. No matter how far I move the saddles back the fretted note is sharp. It has 11- 49 strings on it. I haven't cut the nut out either since I like how it plays. Also I was wondering if I am doing it right? Do I need to loosen the string...
