    Kemper and big producers

    So...it seems that lot of big producers (Colin, Andy, Michael Wagener but also Audiohammer, Lasse,etc...) now use Kemper to record guitars, BUT...how is the procedure? I mean...they find the right setup, they profile everything and they record the profiled signal? If so, I can't get the...

    Building a custom prototype cab

    I've this idea of building custom cabs and I'm actually thinking how to do the prototype. What do you think is better? Build a cab with 4 speakers of the same type (v30's, greenbacks,etc...) or a cab with 4 different speakers? The first one should be good to test in a live situation but the...

    SSL announches new Alphalink MX

    http://www.solidstatelogic.com/news/article.asp?ID=453&T=M Seems very nice...unfortunatelly there are 2 versions: 16 in / 4 out or 4 in / 16 out... I think both versions are a little limitative and they you can take advantage from them only if you daisy chain 2 interfaces. If you mainly do...

    Tuning instruments to the attack or to the sustain?

    I usually tune to sustain because attack note decades very quickly, expecially on heavier strings, where lighter strings have an attack/sustain note way closer. Moreover attack note depends on how hard you play the note with your hand, for example no one tune the strings playing like zakk wylde...

    Dual micing technique: 2 mics/different positions POLL

    Last week I did a shitload of tests with my Marshall 1960a and I think it's interesting to share some of them. I used the Mago DI's and I tried different position for the 2 mics I used, 1 sm57 and 1 ADK S7. The mics were both on axis with the speaker but they aimed different spots on the...

    6505+ buzz from output transformer

    Today I turned on my amp and I immediately noticed a strange buzz from the output transformer.... a zzzzzzzzzzz in standby mode. It always produced a soft hum when it was powered, but now it's a spiky sound....a weird buzz. What could it be? Is it near its end? :D ....

    Testing Marshall 1960 speakers

    After 2 years I did another speakers shootout with my Marshall 1960 cab. I have to say the speakers changed a lot their character during these 2 years (even if I haven't used the cab that much, apart some reamp)... Actually I'm trying to decide if I should flip some speaker on top in a better...
