Go to www.mediafire.com/jameshickey and click on "Shofar". Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the comments. The orchestral section was programmeded into my pc. I'm planning on getting a USB audio interface in the near future so I can play the stuff my self. I'll def get some keyboard solos and guitar/key trade offs going on once I can actually record my keys. I was thinking of...

www.mediafire.com/jameshickey Check out the 3 songs listed there. Pillar of Fire and Take the Leap are using the Maxon OD-9 for boost.

Check out www.mediafire.com/jameshickey. The three songs listed on that page were all recorded using my express 50. Pillar of Fire and Take the Leap I am using a OD 9 ontop of the amp. Hope someone enjoys!

Thanks alot for the encouragement guys. Ya, this amp can really sound much better then you would think. I had a Fender Squire and the burn channel sounded like an overdrive. After getting the Schecter with the JB7s, it made a tenfold difference. The mic is used was actually a $30 Logitech (I...

Thought someone hear would want to check this out. Hope someone enjoys it. It's hard to record with a one year old screaming and running around, but this eventually got finished. Sometime in the future (when I get time) I'll try to record something more complex. Enjoy...

I tested out the Ibanez TS9, 808, and the Maxon OD-9 to boost my express 5:50. The OD-9 by far sounded the best to me. It seemed to have a higher output and seem to have more variance with the tone control. That being said, I was wondering how the OD-9 Pro + is? I love the OD-9, but if the Pro +...

Nope.

Don't forget that the high the master volume is....or just the louder the amp is period (because less gain will give less volume and vice vera) the FX send loop signal will get larger as well. So if you are playing the amp at playing levels then that could be the case. I know I play while using...

I have the 5:50, but I hear the 5:25 is not too much different. I think it is a great amp. The clean channel is wicked and the crunch channel sound great too. I use the burn and clean channel pretty much exclusively since for jazz and clean stuff the clean channel is superb (especially with the...

Thanks alot for info guys. Very appreciated.

Another thing, the hum happens in Class A and Class A/B so the power tube mismatch wouldn't be causing the hum.

By "colors" on the power tubes I mean that their ratings are different. I don't think it would make a big difference but I was wondering if it could be causing the hum issue. I've done some research and it seems that it wouldn't make a diff. unless the tubes themselves were bad. It would seem...

I am getting a hum whenever I use the Burn channel on my Express 5:50. It isn't the guitar since I've checked that. One the the pre-amp tubes is to alot brighter than the other pre-amp tubes. However, all the other pre-amps tubes are barely visibly glowing. All the pre-amp tubes are Russian...

My 5:50 is working great. However, whenever I use the burn channel there is a abnormal hum whenever the guitar volume is on, even a tiny bit. If I turn the guitar volume down all the way, there is no extra sound. The amp does hiss a bit on that channel, which isn't too bad, but the hum is loud...

One thing is if the pedals aren't true-bypass then you may get degraded tone when the pedals are turned off but still in the signal chain. But this would happen with any amp if the pedals aren't true-bypass. As far as the pedals making the amp sound "solid-state"....I think it really depends on...

I was wondering which USB mics work well for electric guitar recording. By 'work well' I really mean: which ones sound good (I'm of course not going to expect the best quality out there), which ones have minimal latency (the biggest issue), and which ones may have extra's like an output jack for...

From what I've heard....the 2 leaked songs, Jp's guitar tone sounds alot better. It seems much more present in the mids department. I really enjoy the unscooped V sound which perhaps happened here. I really like the solo tone for A Night To Remember. Has a cool bluesy tone while retaining alot...

As far as the pricing issue goes, I live in Canada and to buy a good tubescreamer it is at least $200 (that's tax included). Now I do know the express sounds fairly generous in the high frequencies. When I said I wanted a more mid type sound I think I don't want too much more highs added as...

I am considering getting a Wylde OD to boost the gain/tighten up my tone for my hi-gain channel. I can't try the pedal out due to not having any good music stores around and money is tight so I can't buy a $200-300 tube screamer. The sound I am looking for is a John Petrucci/ Dream Theater type...
