I don't have a footswitch for my studio preamp and all I really need is a single button switch to go from clean to overdrive. I'm fairly confident I can build my own as I can solder and have made cables and stuff before but should I want to make a 2 button switch to turn EQ off or on, I need...

bumppity up new clip.. just mindless wanking but nothing over the top. I don't want to embarrass myself too bad. http://www.drewlankford.com/Music/Mesa_Solo_Test.mp3

Eh, there are plusses and minuses to the two. The V3 had all the bells and whistles, gain modes, fx loops, midi, blah blah. It was great when I first got it and probably the first year and a half of owning it becuase I used all of that stuff. But as the months went on and our band's music...

I'll let you guys know when they show up. probably tomorrow or maybe this afternoon. His shipping usually doesn't take but a couple of days. which is surprising considering they come down here to alabama from NY. I won't be able to compare them to the Ruby's though becuase my valvemaster amp...

ehhh I recognize that avatar! :D how you liking the earcandy?

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the recto power amp and 50/50? I'm guessing the 50/50 will be cheaper for one. Basically, I'm wanting to retain the fat smooth singing leads the studio preamp has but I also want the bold and powerful tight rythem capablity and I'm wondering if the recto...

yeah check my videos. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CZoyXPmyFRk http://youtube.com/watch?v=aX4PrU7E8Ew

yeah I'm going to compare the main vs recording out whenever our band practices next. but there seems to be this abundance of harsh abrasiveness to the main outs that just is like a fingernail down a chalk board to my ears. It'd probably work for really heavy metal but it totally kills any...

Has anyone mentioned Devin Townsend? If not, I think his is the best. Petrucci has a good tone for what he does but not for the brutal stuff like strapping young lad and devin's solo stuff. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xLb7sj8ErS0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKOnXyd8yyE...

Clean http://youtube.com/watch?v=CZoyXPmyFRk Lead http://youtube.com/watch?v=aX4PrU7E8Ew Hi fi downloadable clip of the lead. (though it was still shrunk considerably from 190mb down to 60~ish. http://www.drewlankford.com/Videos/Mesa_Studio_Lead_HiFi.wmv

Not that kind... Mrs. Fastredponycar already has plenty to offer 8)

In my experience, in a strict recording sense, it's not much difference between a 4X12 and a 1X12. The microphone only hears what it's put in front of. Pull it far enough away and you'll get ambient sound or peripheral sound from neighboring speakers if you're using more than 1 speaker in a...

Well, I tried test fitting my studio preamp into the SKB rack I've got and guess what? The skb case is too shallow to hold it!!! It's about an inch and a half too short :? This isn't a HUGE deal as I was planning on getting a new rack anyways since I couldn't fit the pre, power amp, furman...

Talked to Doug a while this afternoon. I'm in need of new 6L6's for my Carvin valvemaster amp I'm using with my studio preamp and we decided on the TAD 6L6GC-STR's. their the tall skinny bottle modeled after the Phillps 6L6's I believe...

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way or not but the main outs have a much harsher and brittle sound to them. The recording out is much darker and WAY smoother but not as bright/tight as the main outs. I'm hoping that once I get a good power amp or at least new tubes for the amp i've...

$100 for the preamp from musicians friend and $200~ish for the usb box at guitar center.

I've still got quite a bit of tweaking to do with this amp and I haven't even tried to do anything with the EQ but here are a couple of clips I did yesterday. I plugged the recording output into the FX loop return of my 100 watt (set to 50 watts) carvin valvemaster amp. It's got a 5 year old...

The studio preamp I got doesn't have the rack mounting brackets. I can see the screw holes on the side where I'm guessing they'd go. Is there any way to save some $$ and just use some L brackets from the hardware store or are the mesa brackets not very expensive? If they're not, how much are...

I think it was some wierd grounding issue. It still made the noise when I unplugged it from the power amp becuase I could actually hear it in the preamp itself. When I turned the amp off and put the top cover back on, it was quiet again. Hmm..

Last night I cranked up the studio for the first time. Worked pretty well. Tweaked around with it for about an hour and half. OOOLD power tubes in my amp I'm using the power amp from is probably contributing for the flabby mushy low end. I pulled the old preamp tubes out and put in new ones...
