Thank you for your insights. I ended up buying a Friedman JJ. It doesn't have a bad sound in it. I am able to have a nice thick tone that pops out in the mix. Ive gigged it several times, and it really sounds great. It fits nicely with the band. The other guitar player uses a Friedman modified...

Tube swap complete. Slight improvement in tone, but nothing drastic. Still tweaking to find my place in the mix. I think my problem is that I like a more scooped sound, but that just isn't cutting it in a live setting. I have raised the mids to 1:00, highs to 2:00, lows reduced to 9:00 and...

I appreciate the insight, thank you!

My live sound is muddy and is being swallowed by my bass player! I have been struggling with getting lost in the mix while playing live. I have tweaked the EQ to compensate, but the tone suffers when doing so. I decided that a complete tube swap was in order seeing how I bought this amp second...

Thanks for the tip. I imagine that I would have the same results with the dip switch adjustment due to your toneprint hall of fame pedal experience. It is really weird. Once upon a time, long ago, I had the reverse happen to me with the Line 6 MM4 (it would drop the volume). I sold it. That...

I apologize if this is rehash of an already beaten thread. I have a 2 channel dual rec (black face, serial number 962). I have always played dry with no effects. I just recently purchased some modulation effects (TC Electronics chorus and flanger toneprint pedals). I set them up in the...

I haven't gigged in a while, but I do remember that a balanced sound for the entire band was what we were after. In almost every case, I was mic'd up to the PA, so the stage volume coming out of my cab was mostly for me to hear...not the crowd. I do remember playing louder in practice than I...

According to the pro pricing guide, which is a thread near the top of this forum, it is $1199.

I do not know the answer to this question, but I would like to throw this out for pondering all the same. I would think that it is not good to have the power amp on without a load connected to it. Maybe having the amp in the standby position nullifies this thought? I can't remember where I...

2 Channel dual rec in smooth blue

Just validating the posts above...I saw a Foo Fighters live set episode on the Music HD channel, and Dave was playing out of a RK combo, along with the other guitarist.

Thanks for sharing your stories. When I started this thread, I figured that I wasn't piloting this boat alone. You know what is ironic though? A very good friend of mine told me not to sell my gear due to ensured regret at a later date. I accepted his advice as novel, but disregarded it all...

Last year I made a decision that seemed prudent for my life situation. Mid 30s, a demanding career, 3 wonderful children (12, 6 and 4, all boys), a wife who has her own career that is very demanding and not an ounce of free time. In my basement collecting dust were: 3 Les Pauls (Standards)...

jtb, I checked out your band on myspace...you guys sound **** good. I like your covers of heavy and machinehead. Rock on.

Thanks for the information fellas.
