    What setup Sterio Speakers/Amp Do You Like

    I have a 5.1 surround set of Creative speakers, which are 10+ years old, and were reasonably cheap, they seem to do really well, especially if you want to move around the room while you play. Really, I think you'd be fine with any reasonable set of speakers, just make sure you get ones with a...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Sure, anything specific? :) Not really sure what to say though, it's a 5:25 1x12 now, and I'm really loving it. I live in an apartment at the moment, so it has to be turned as low as it can be currently, but even at low volume it's gorgeous and totally smooth, like silk. The clean tones are...

    Looking for some advice on Audio Interfaces please.

    Okay, from what I've found out so far, with the aid of a good friend also, there are a few things to watch out for. Make sure you check the specs of the item you're interested in as well as the software that comes with it as it may not let you make the most of your new hardware. My two...

    Looking for some advice on Audio Interfaces please.

    Thanks a lot Ned :) Some very interesting things there! I can see I'll have to do quite a bit more research too.

    Looking for some advice on Audio Interfaces please.

    Hey all, I've been recording with my basic computer sound card so far, and it makes my gear sound as if it's all made out of cardboard, so.. I've been thinking about getting an Audio Interface sorted. I'm pretty close to settling on a Line 6 POD Studio™ UX2. My plan is/was to record with 2...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Resolved... sort of.. the 5:25 1×10 went in to the shop, there's something properly wrong inside it which an engineer needs to replace and it will take weeks. So, since they had another one in I traded/upgraded it to the 1×12 version instead, also got the manual (and soon to come cover), which...

    Guitar volume control and output volume of amp

    I'm also curious about this. I run a Boss CS-3 compression sustain pedal which pretty much attempts to keep your guitar signal volume at the same levels, no matter how hard, or softly, you hit the strings, I've found it's really handy, almost essential... So, altering the volume on the guitar...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    There was an inspection tag tagged to the handle, and a few warning notes, nothing else really, I'll ask them about it when I pick it up later this week, thanks :).

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Hey, thanks for the comprehensive reply! It's a retail shop, I don't think there's a repair place around here as he mentioned it would need to go to Scotland. The amp is the 5:25 Express 1x10 Combo, I think I mentioned 'head' at one point to distinguish the controls part from the speaker.. not...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Thanks for that, it gives me a lot of peace of mind. The only other thing I would be worried about is connecting the CE-5 Chorus with both outputs, one to a solid state Fender frontman amp, and the other to the input of the Mesa Boogie.. is it possible the Fender somehow affected the power of...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Guitar cord is completely fine, works in my other amp, not even the click when you plug it in with the volume up on this amp. Took the amp in to the shop this morning, didn't see this before hand about the send/return bit, sorry. One more, perhaps silly, question... effects pedals on the feed...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Replaced the EL-84 power tubes, both glow well now, however, no signal from the guitar is recognised, no click when you plug a lead in or anything, the input seems to be completely dead. There was a lot of static/interference coming from the speaker for some reason, not sure which part of the...

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    No cause for concern, I checked and none of the sorts of blue in my visual vocabulary appeared with the lights off.

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Thanks for the advices guys :) I've ordered some new tubes as mentioned, hopefully those should be with me within a few days. It was one of the EL-84 tubes, these ones usually glow orange, one of them just doesn't glow at all, so I'm pretty convinced that's the problem one. Had a brief look...

    Will do! Thanks :) First tube amp, so am really unequipped I guess.

    Newbie problem - 5:25 stopped working.

    Hey all! Okay, so, I'm pretty new to the whole amplification side of electric guitar playing, so excuse me please if this sounds completely clueless. I bought this 5:25 Express amp a few weeks ago. It's bloody lovely, it's so good I just end up strumming the same few chords over and over for...
