Hey guys im just wondering where to place the mic when recording to get the best possible sound. this is just me recording with a cheap mic through my computer. im using a 2x12 flextone. should it be up as close to the cloth as possible? by one speaker or between them both? high or low.. etc...

Where can i find a cheap mic for recording stuff onto my comp in my room? I have a prgram for recoridng, I just need a mic. dont need anything great, just decent for messing around. ive been using a little desktop voice mic from walmart that cost about 5 bucks, o anything is better. any ideas?

Well after searching for the right amp, it basically fell in my lap. A friend is going to sell me his 5150 head for a great price. So now I'm just gonna need a 4x12 cab. I've never had anything other than combos, so I really have no idea what to look for. I want something fairly good, but also...

So when I palm mute the E string open, there's like a little metallic ping at the end of it. Sounding like metal hitting metal. I muted the strings behind the nut, and it stopped. I went to drop D and it stopped there also, but came back once I tuned it back to standard. It's almost brand new...

Just came in the mail, and It sounds pretty bad. I paly an LP with an 81. It's lifelss, cold, thin, grainy, buzzy etc, especially soling high up. I've messed with the eq for awhile, and changed the damping swithc, but nothing helps. This is the firts tube amp I've played, and I expected a lot...

I'm returning my amp i ordered from musiciansfriend.com. This is what it says on the site about their refund policy. 45-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee If you are not completely satisfied with any product, return it for a full refund of the product purchase price, full credit, or exchange of...

So I ordered an XXX combo, but I've never used a tube amp before. What are the routines i follow with the switches when turning the amp on and off?

Probably getting this,... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7...ase_pid/481393/ I've never had a tube amp, or even played one before,. im not a gearhead at all, so i know absolutely nothing about them. i want to keep it simple... do i/should i change any of the tubes in this amp when i get it...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7...ase_pid/481443/ Interested in a relatively cheap tube combo. I'm planning on getting the 40W XXX 112 combo, but I just saw this so i figured I might as well ask. I'll be using tbis amp for basically all dirty stuff, not oncerned about jazzy/bluesy stuff. I...

I'm selling my flextone due to it sounding like garbage. I've made threads about it, basically it just has no life, sounds muffled, sounds like a wet-towl is thrown over it etc. Well I wast a somewhat cheap tube combo...I found this...

well i can't get rid of the muffled sound in my 212 flextone, so i'm considering buying an extension cab rather than buying a new amp. will thsi definitly work? i get good tones from the flextone, it's just so muffled and dull that i can't stand it. what suggestions do you guys have for a decent...

Alright I'm sick of me flextone being so muffled and dull ("wet-towl" syndrome is what people say). Well people keep telling me there is no real way to fix it without getting a new amp, so I'm going to try and find a better amp for cheap. I am 21 and have to pay for school full time, so I...

Alright so I have a Flextone II 212. It has the typical combo problem of sometime sounding muffled/dull/lifeless. I get good tones out of it, it just seems very unbright. I remember a long time ago someone describing it as sounding like there was a wet towl over the speakers, and that's exactly...

Line 6 Flextone II 212, near perfect condition, with the footswitch. I'm guessing ebay will be the best way. How much do you think I might be able to get? I don't have an ebay account so I can't check past auctions. On a related note... what's the cheapest you guys think I could get a XXX 212...

Alright so i ordered that Limited Epi Midnight LP that came with 2 EMG 81's. All I have is a Line 6 Flextone so I was worried about the EMG's but I got it anyways. Well I got it, and it doesn't really sound bad, it's just muddy and not very bright.It almost feels like I'm playing on the neck...
