  1. Guitar: Tech, Electronics and DIY
    I decided to do a bit of modifying on my FCB1010 at the weekend. In an effort to cut down on stage clutter, did a phantom power mod to it with the addition of the option to run from batteries as well. After some research I discovered that the unit actually operates on 5v DC, even though its own...

    Over the last few days, I’ve been obsessing about the FU-Tone PMS system for direct mounting pickups. So far as I can tell, the claims they make about getting more ‘vibrational transference’ from the body are snake oil designed to justify the $50 price (+shipping to the UK means I can’t justify...
  3. Guitar: Gear Discussion
    I know this can be done, but I'm not sure if i'm the one to do it :lol: So Ive got a Carvin 4 Ohm cabinet that I bought about 3 years ago. i got it because i foolishly believed that a 4ohm cabinet while allowing an amp to use more of its wattage would be significantly louder. Turns out it...

    Well it's now gotten to the point where I need a dedicated client room/office/recording and mixing space so I am starting on turning the front room of my house into such an area. It's a nice large room with plenty of natural sunlight which is perfect to bring clients into and discuss their...

    So, if any of you know I've been thinking about turning my old ashdown fallen angel FA60 combo into a head and cab, as i've been running my POD HD into the loop and I'm digging the sounds i'm getting out of it. I considered a rackmount power amp as toobs are dead :yesway: but i've just got the...

  7. Music: Recording Studio
    To explain what I want to do, I am going to send off our demo to be mixed elsewhere. I am using an electronic kit, which is triggering Superior Drummer. I already have Superior Drummer sent out to individual tracks in Reaper, but for this I would need to record the actual track into a WAV...
  8. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    Considering giving it a whirl. I am perfectly content with the BKP Cold Sweat combo in the guitar at the moment, but I thought it might be fun to toss a single-coil in the neck. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I buy a Rio Grande, Seymour Duncan or BKP single-coil if there are any tricks or...

    I've got an old Marshall vavlestate bi chorus 200 that i've currently using as a 2X12 combo. The only reason i'm using this is as a practice rig, I leave my 1960 lead cab at the practice space as its heavy as hell and i don't have a bed cover on my truck. I'm really happy with the clean tones...

    So, I think I can do it simply with this jack: Switchcraft : 1/4" 3 Conductor Open Frame Jacks ...that I found from this diagram: Wiring a 2 X 12 Speaker cabinet (scroll down) Anyone else have/used a jack like this? I emailed Avatar, and they will sell me a pre-wired plate for stereo/mono...
