I was looking for a new pedalboard for my home studio, something that would be functional, yet appealing visually for recording gear demo videos. This pedalboard had to be something more than metal framing or a basic structure, but of higher quality (and not something built in a foreign country...

I was lookin at getting a good delay/echo unit. Don't know which one I should go for, I played both the Boss DD-20 and the Line 6 Echo Farm or whatever it's called (the pedal). Which do you think sounds better or is built better more importantly.

I want to build a decent pedalboard at home and I need some suggestions. I have a wooden plank of the right size (see here: http://www.geocities.com/carlos_seo/pictures/pedalboard.jpg -- copy and paste URL in a new window) and I'd like to know what's best to cover the surface fo the board. I've...

Does anyone know where I can get the lamps that people put on the pedal boards? I know that they are the same thing that is used for live mixing boards.

So who else here is going to one of the shows this week? I'm going to the London gig. I have never been so excited about a gig before. Also, i want to try and meet JP after or before the show. Anyone got any tips as to the best methods of meeting bands?

Ok... I'm with a group that are looking towards going nationwide on a tour within the next 6 months or so. Its an amature thing but regardless, I'd like to be in the good knowledge that my gear is relatively well protected. what sort of price range would I be looking at for a flight case set...

Well guys, I decided to go back to the basics and get rid of the instruments and gear I don't use. I'm going down to one electric guitar and an amp. I'll probably buy another guitar sometime for a backup but no need to worry about that now. Anyways, here is what I have for sale: GUITARS...

Do you guys ever fell like you have too much gear, and that it is just taking up space? That's how I feel right now. I have a bunch of pedals I never use and about three guitars I don't play. I used to want to buy new stuff all the time, thinking that I would be happy or that I would play better...

I think my Digitech whammy's screwed up! plugged in my pedal board earlier, pluged in the whammy, and nothing. there's an input jack out put the power lead is in whats more plausable, the pedal's knackered or the transformer has burnt out. I reckon the transformer... it wasnt getting hot...

Hey guys, I've read some threads where you guys have referred to DS-1 pedals as a boost with amps. My question is, if it's a distortion pedal, how do you use it to boos the signal rather then distort it. Am I just understanding this wrong? Would you run the DS-1 through the clean channel, or the...

hey guys, I was just offered a Carvin Legacy head with a Laney Iommi 4x12 bottom for $600. I'm pretty much ready to do it, but was curious as to what you guys think. I've played through a legacy once before and I loved it's mid-ranginess. And I've seen MacAlpine live use it 3 or 4 times and his...

so, Im looking for a new amp and have been seriously considering a modelling amp. Specifically Im looking at The Vetta and Cyber Twin, so I was looking for opinions on these amps (not modelling in general, I dont want this to turn into a tubes vs digital thing). I've also read a bit about the...

Does anybody have the time to introduce me to the common uses/applications of rackmount hardware... is there a website with a simple explanation to this problem? what makes a rack mount effect different from a pedal based one? many thanks kev

Well firstly got rid of my old amp, and now, in all its majesty, the MESA boogie Roadking stands high atop my recto cab.. its a BEAST of an amp. crazy stuff, im loving it!! and as for the guitars, well, i sold ALL my ibanez guitars, tastes have changed, and im going for a thicker darker sound...

I'm using a Lexicon MPX R-1 controller to change my processor presets and do tap tempo but it's just to big. I have a smaller foot controller, but it doesn't do the "cc" (tap tempo) stuff... I hooked up a friends G-Minor controller, set for tap tempo, into my smaller controller and was able to...

Whenever I turn on my Boss DS-1, I get a wicked hum from it. I'm just wondering if this is normal for the pedal, or if I could do something to it to reduce the hum. I love the sound out of it that I get when I have my amp distortion on too, but the hum when I'm not playing anything is annoying...
