Susano-maku da! posted:Say, I wanted some advice that doesn't deserve its own thread... A guy is offering to trade his Maton MS500 Mastersound for my Fernandes Ravelle Elite. What do you guys know about Matons? What kind of resale value do they have? Maton makes some rad poo poo. They are super rare here in the states, and they have a bit of a cult following. It will definitely have a different mojo than your fernandez. Looks like a pretty fair trade to me, as long as you aren't into your Fernandez a ridiculous amount. I'd do that trade in a heartbeat if it were me. Edit: It looks like the Maton and the Fernandez have identical street prices- right around 600-650 bucks. I'd say the Maton would hold it's value a bit better due to there being less of them out there.

Avd1Thng posted:I just got an udu drum and a didgeridoo! I am a percussionist and I have played the udu for a while, I finally have one of my own now though! But I am new to the didge. I've got the drone down with some effects and working on screams and calls and such. My goal is to be able to play this at the same time as my drum set (like Jono Callow). Tripod microphone stand (20-50 bucks) 4" Piece of PVC pipe (couple bucks at home depot) Measure your digeridoo to get the proper inside diameter. 2 Large hose clamps (a buck or 2 each) Felt (unless you don't care about scratching up your new toy.) Cut a slot through one wall of the PVC pipe so you end up with a C shape. Use some epoxy to attach the pipe to a microphone clip You'll probably need to cut the lips off. All you want is the lower part that screws onto the mic stand. Once you have that, Line the inside of the pipe with a few pieces of felt. Slide your digeridoo onto the pipe. Use the hose clamps around the pipe to gently tighten down around your digeridoo. Voila!

The mic clip screws onto the top of the mic stand. I'd also consider a quick release adapter so you're not having to spin your didgeridoo around every time you put it on the stand. I'd get your PVC all cut and take it with you to the music store and show one of the dudes there what you are trying to do. If they're worth a crap they'll get you set up with what you need.

Three Red Lights posted:It turned out i was wrong about the selection switch, it just needed to be mashed a bit before it stopped being factory stiff. Sounds to me that you might have microphonic pickups in your guitar. Tap on them when you're plugged in- If it makes a really loud thunk, the pickups are the culprit. You might try backing down the gain a bit too.

Could be a microphonic tube also... The test is lightly tapping on each tube with a chopstick. If you get any noise whatsoever, the tube is microphonic. Check the preamp tubes first. Be really careful doing this though, and you might even leave this to a pro if you think there is any chance of voiding your warranty by opening up the chassis.

I was afraid of that, but congrats on the new beauty! If you get the chance, check out the Ron Asheton model... They're bonerific.

DeArmond M75T The pic is not of mine, but you get the idea. I gave mine to my brother for graduating college but he never plays it so I'm trading him for an acoustic/electric. I'm glad to have her back. These things sound phenomenal for what was a middle of the road guitar when it was new. I'm pretty pissed off that Fender saw fit to buy out Guild and then proceed to discontinue their fantastic line of electric guitars. The DeArmond stuff was amazing for under a grand, and the full fledged Guild electrics were spectacular. Curse you, Fender!

Concatenation posted:Unnghh please somebody talk me out of buying this Ibanez RG2610. I've found one very cheap at a local-ish dealer and I'm going to go and play it on Monday, I hope it turns out to be no better than my RGT42DX so I don't have to buy it... If you can get that axe out the door for less that 600 bones then I would say go for it. The neck alone is worth the price of admission on the prestige guitars. As long as you won't miss the additional pickups, then that axe would be a good one. The tremolo on an older model would be fine- those had the Edge III it looks like. They're alright- I personally don't care for the way the arm feels on them, and many hardcore Ibanez guys don't like them, but that's compared to the old units which are pretty much flawless. That doesn't mean you won't like it- they work fine as long as you're not a total lunatic with the whammy bar. I just got a 2008 RG2550, and yeah- the Edge Zero is pretty neat, but it's not perfect like the original Edge/LoPro edge units were. I put up a review in the review thread if you want a little more info.

If you've played through a really great pedal like a fulltone dp1, or even better a Hughes and Kettner tube factor you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss pedals for distortion. Most modern marshalls (hell most modern tube amps) get their distortion from a diode anyway. Metal zone into recto guy is still  as hell though.

There are other examples- I have a Hughes and Kettner tube 50- my amp guy gutted it and there's diodes in there too. "Most" was probably overstating a bit though. Easy way to tell though- if the amp has lots of preamp distortion and only a few preamp tubes? There could be diodes lurking about- not that it matters. And Agreed makes a good point- I've always wondered why nobody ever thought to build a TS808 mod to integrate into the front end of a plexi, but I guess it's just easier to get the head and pedal and call it good.

Stux posted:Grabbed this lovely Pod XT off of ebay for £100 shipped. You don't need a midi interface to update- you need a usb cable hooked up to your comp and the line6 monkey software available off of the line6 website. Once you do that you can opt to buy the model packs if you want- some of the amps contained within are super good (Bogners, Silver Jubilee etc.) but all of the model packs would cost more than you paid for the unit. I haven't tried the bass pack, but I heard it's really excellent.

You still shouldn't need a midi interface to update your firmware though  Also-I'm pretty sure you can't "move" your updates anyhow- you may be able to re-download them to the pod if and only if you still have your confirmation code, but that's about it.

My podXT must have had newer software when I got it, which is weird because I got it right when it came out. It looks like you can use a midi cable and another podxt though- that might save you from having to buy an interface if you can find someone with a pod locally.

AE posted:Except Behringer, which is all bad. I have a set of their active monitors and their ripoff of the Tech21 trademark30. I like them both. The monitors are Ok- they actually give a decent amount of detail, and they're a perfectly acceptable placeholder until I get my studio finished and get some Genelecs. The guitar amp sounds amazing for a cheap little turd, but that's because they ripped off a great design. I no longer buy Behringer gear, as the reliability has taken a hit in the last few years, but some of it is perfectly acceptable. Actually their active PA speakers are a fantastic bargain for garage band types as well. A club I ran sound at used several for monitors and I never had a single problem with them. Come to think of it, the mixer and the GEQ were Behringer as well, and it performed flawlessly for countless shows. Not the best sounding gear granted, but in a small room with loud rear end punk rock bands you can't really tell anyhow. Just don't use the EQ and it's alright.

Leave it on- it protects the capsule. That's about the only way to gently caress up a 58- to have some jagoff mash the guts of it when it's not wearing a helmet. And even though the 57 and 58 look similar naked, they're a little different. A 58 will sound perfectly ok on a guitar cab, but not as good as a 57. And yeah- dented 58s are the bomb. I got one for 30 bucks a few years ago.

Raze posted:Oh holy crap. Now I'm seriously considering getting that V33-212. I've been stuck with an Ibanez TB225 for the past ~6 years. Would it really be worth it at $250 for mainly bedroom playing? I don't care if it's too loud, honestly. I'm mainly interested in playing metal, though. Also, why does GC have the same prices now? That is an absolute steal at 250 bones, but that amp is far from ideal for metal. It'll work if you hit it with the right pedals though. Also, GC and MF are the same company now, so their prices are going to match pretty much across the board.

Raze posted:I do have a Maxon OD9 I use for boosts right now. Would that work? Most of my distortion is coming from a Rocktron Pro GAP Ultra at the moment anyways. I suppose I should just wait until I move into some place where I can buy a proper head + cab. That particular OD pedal would sound awesome in front of that amp for rock stuff, but running that Rocktron into the effects loop return would give you the wicked metal tones you desire. And the MF+GC thing happened 3 or 4 years ago.
