    Equator D5 monitor extension cord?

    I tried an extension chord because my outlet is too far away, but it does not seem to turn on. Is there a specific extension chord that will work with this? On the back of the monitor next to the power connection it says 150w, 120v, 60 hz.

    Can you recommend me studio monitors for my setup?

    I have an electronic drumset and some guitars/AXE-FX2 which I usually play through headphones...but would it sound much better if I got some studio monitors? It would be for a small apartment bedroom, about 14x14 feet, and I probably wouldn't blast it at full volume so I don't bother the...

    Axe FX - firewire interface or USB?

    Hey guys, I am recording with my Axe FX II direct via USB (listening through headphones on the front of the Axe and recording into reaper). Would there be any benefit of running it through a firewire audio interface instead of USB and listening with my headphones through that? Just trying to...

    Hooking up a pre-amp to the AxeFX?

    Cool thanks! Still a little bit confused by their wording... I just want to make sure I have this down right.... so I would run a cable from the output 2 of the Axe to the input on the preamp, then I would run another cable from the output of the preamp to the input 2 on the Axe? I keep seeing...

    Hooking up a pre-amp to the AxeFX?

    I looked at the manual and I just want to make sure I have this right before I hook it up... So from what I gather, I need to put a FXL block in my preset, followed by a cab block. And I would use a cable going from output 2 on the Axe to the input on the pre-amp. Then I would have another...

    ENGL e530 recording setup?

    I went ahead and ordered the e530, and I'm going to try to get it working with my presonus firebox into cubase running recabinet. Thanks for the help guys. One more question...when doing the line out from the e530 into my audio interface, should I just be using a regular instrument cable? Or do...

    ENGL e530 recording setup?

    Hey guys, I have heard some amazing clips from people using an e530 preamp going into recabinet. If I get the e530, how would I hook it up to my PC to be able to silently record/jam? Most of you will probably think I'm crazy...because I have an Axe-FX II, but honestly I am having trouble dialing...

    DiMarzio Dominion Mark Morton sig.pickups test (video/LoG inspired riffing/Mesa MKIV)

    Question...I downloaded your zipped up folder with all the files... When the guitar kicks into stereo, is that just 2 guitar takes panned 100% left and right with nothing else added? Whenever I do that it doesn't seem this full to me...maybe I am just doing it wrong or my tone sucks. :erk:
