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

I agree with those in support of the JCA20H. I own a crate vc-508.... So I understand a little about the gear you use. Here is a quick overview of the difference between class A and class AB from Mike Soldano's viewpoint...

Avatar speakers makes great inexpensive guitar cabs. You can buy them loaded and unloaded. You choose from their selection of speakers, mostly celestion. They have the best prices on celestions, although I personally prefer Eminence.....but that's another story. If you don't wanna go that...

I'm glad that the clips were beneficial for yah, and that you could hear the difference in the sound. I played an ESP LTD EC-400VF. I would say it's comparable to an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, but better(in my opinion). The guitar has a Seymour Duncan 59 Jazz in the neck and a Seymour Duncan...

Hey! Here are some quick sound clips after installing the JJ tubes. I didn't really focus on my playing, but more on trying to simply show the responsiveness of the amp, so forgive to simple licks.

I just unscrewed the back panel, the one that has the see through metal grate. There were about six screws, and from there you can get to all the tubes pretty easily. The only one that was a little difficult was the preamp tube in V1. It's the preamp tube you can't see from the back because...
