I'm not sure what would be the best recording interface/Daw for me. I am debating between three choices: 1. Presonus firestudio mobile and studio 1 pro. I really like the quality of the interface in the mic pres and converters, and I like how easy studio 1 is to use, but it's not pro tools, and...

Thanks! That really helps. It feels like there are lots of mixed reviews on everything out there, mbox, m audio, presonus ect. I did find another that I like a lot, probably more than the TC, and that is the focusrite pro 24. It's firewire, with 16 in and and 8 out. It has two mic inputs...

I am upgrading my Adobe Audition,and it requires, or is highly recommended, to get an interface that supports an ASIO Driver. As of right now I am experiencing some major lag problems,and this should solve them. Some boxes would include the m-audio fast track, and the presonus boxes. I...

I didn't know Alice in Chains was from Spanaway. I used to live there... Not the most pleasant place.

I know that when you buy the "Jet Pack" JCA20H, with the improved "tube cocktail," they give you sovtek preamp tubes and JJ power tubes. I have never used sovteks, but I would be interested in seeing how they affect the sound. I really feel like the JJ power tubes, biased at 70%, helped the...

I have started a recording project with a buddy of mine. The guitar parts are running through our processors, and we have a pretty good drum machine, which leaves the problem of getting good vocals. I don't have a mixer, so no phantom power, but I have been looking at the USB condenser mics...

Thanks! Great response! I'm sold on the "directivity modifier," and I thought it was interesting that I got the recommendation for a foam insert from the Egnater website, and that he showed pictures of his modifier in an Egnater cab. I guess my question is who has tried it? And how much...

I'm searched the forum, but didn't find anything about beam blockers, so here is the thread. I have a 2x12 cab that I built, with Eminence speakers, and I think that the cab sounds the best when I stand beside it, and that it is far too bright out in front. I know that there are companies that...

I ordered the JJ tubes from eurotubes. For 3 12AX7s, one of those balanced for the phase splitter, and 2 matched EL84s it was $50.00. I also ordered the bias probe from eurotubes, but it is actually made by Weber. It ran me about $50.00 as well. I already had a volt meter that would work...

I decided it would be sweet to start a Jet City JCA20H owners thread. There is a similar thread on Harmony Central, but it is more focused on mods. I have re-tubed with JJ Tubes from eurotubes. I have a balanced 12AX7 in the V3 position, and a matched pair of EL84s. I also purchased a bias...

Hell Yeah! I own a Norman acoustic and it sounds great! I had a fishman matrix pickup put in it. It is my go to acoustic. I love how the low notes come out, and the intonation is great! A very well spent $400 bucks!:dude

When I think about what inspired Tool, grunge is not the first thing to come to mind. I mean, opiate came out in 1992... When I think of their jamming influence, I think more of pink floyd or maybe even zepplin. I really think of the "nu metal" bands as people trying to recreate rage against...

I have been doing some reading on the mercury transformer website. I understand the importance of transformers, and I was not surprised to find replacements for cheat low wattage amps where undersized transformers could be a problem, I know the tiny terror mercury mod is very popular. I was...

That makes sense.... I just wish the way the manufacturers presented it was a little more straight forward.

The Blackheart website says the amp is pull pull class A.... I don't know that much about the difference between classs A and AB, besides the fact they sound quite different. Here's the link. http://www.blackhearteng.com/bh15h.html
