A cool thing for you Mac users is 'VMware Fusion' ($70-$80). Google it. Basically allows you to run Windows as a 'virtual machine' on top of the Mac OS. Then run your Windows Apps on the virtual Windows machine. So when Windows crashes, hangs, or whatever it is only the virtual machine that...

Hub - check out these links. The noise you hear is likely due to the LEDs. I have the same pedal - seems some folks with even the latest models have this issue, not just pedals from their 'first lot' as mentioned in these links. You may be able to work around it by changing the placement in...

I have one and like it a lot, but must admit I have not even come close to using it to it's full potential.

Checked out these amphs a bit at a local store - It seems the Classic 30 (1x12) puts out more volume, at least what I perceived in a short comparison, than the VK112 50 watter. At lower settings I think the 30 seemed closer to the VK212 at the same volume setting. Not that I'm just looking for...

Thanks Spudman! Good guidance for sure. Actually, these amphs I’m referring to are brand new - special sale price... :)

Appreciate all the feedback! I have the chance to pick up the VK 112 for $350, and although I do not really need it now, I have G.A.S. :D That, and I thought I could use it when I start to jam with my cousins in the very near future - just for fun in their garage sort of band. To throw a...

Would the 50W VK 112 be good for a band practice situation, and be able to get over a drummer, or would the 100W 212 be much better suited for that as well as small gigs?

Thanks for the Foghat.com link! Used to be a big fan myself. Actually I'm sure I have a cassette of theirs - wish it was vinyl.

To e-mail Boss you can go to rolandus.com, click on support, then "Roland backstage". You need to sign up with a username/pw, then you can use their e-mail support. I think you can get there from bossus.com "Boss backstage" as well.

I was traveling and missed all the fun here... Good reminder on the guitar input jack. I have not tried this yet, but I remember reading this in the manual, just took a look and it is on page 22: "NOTE Be sure to connect the CD or digital audio player to the AUX IN jack. If anything is...

I have the Elixer Polyweb on my acoustic now. The coating is very thick, making the strings nice a smooth with I liked at first. Definitely not as bright sounding as non-coated strings, but I liked the feel for the trade-off in brightness, and grew to like the warmer sound (seemed a good...

Thanks for the great tips. I experimented with powering the RC-2 alone with the 1Spot and running the other pedals by battery. That reduced the noise oscillating with the looper rhythm pattern significantly, and eliminated the higher pitch noise. As soon as I have a chance I plan to try the...

M29 - which AD50VT amph models do you run the Monkey/DS-1 through?

Yes, thanks. I have done that in the past... press channel + write while powering on, I think once the channel LEDs blink, release buttons, then press write. Don't interrupt until all light's flash. I read that as well about the contact cleaner. I'm just glad my amph seems ok.

Fantastic – much better with the pearl and red!
