Re: can anybody tell me about this?
Funny how we have different preferences. I find the FET mandatory for a Strat. It is the Strat input. Without the FET, there is no good place to plug in.norburybrook wrote:I didn't bother with the FET on any of my builds I don't like it...

Re: Amplitube Max sacrilege
I just don't get on with noise gates. There never seems to be one good setting. Just a bunch of late starts and early endings to my notes. I have tried believe me, but noise gates suck. I agree. All of the medium to high gain models are high noise. That juicy noise is the first thing that I think of...

Re: Amplitube Max sacrilege
The concept of noise in the models seems quite controversial judging from posts on IK's forum. One camp thinks that the model should be true to the amp being modeled, warts and all. If the noise isn't accurate, then the model isn't either. Others think filtering and noise reduction should be introdu...

Re: Will my speakers sound good?
I like open back cabs because I can easily close them up depending on the room. I block the opening with a guitar case or whatever is laying around at a gig when needed. It's a rough simulation of a closed back when I think it's necessary. I don't like the laser like focus of closed back cabs, but I...

Re: #124 started
updated to the skyliner spec, that changed things quite significantly. less difference between rock and jazz, the boost was also lessened. I'm not 100% sure yet I like it . It does sound very different from my #102. FWIW, I could never like the Skyliner no matter how much I tried. I was motivated t...

Re: Amplitube Max sacrilege
The software is sensitive to levels everywhere. Overloading the inputs in digital-land sounds terrible. Patches sound incredibly good once I get the gain staging set correctly. I had an issue with latency on several PCs running Windows 10. I had to disable many things including Bluetooth, wifi, back...

Re: Amplitube Max sacrilege
I have plugged Strats, Teles, and LPs directly into a Mackie board, an iRig HD 2, and an ART MPA Gold preamp with good results. Xtian, what are you plugging into, if I may ask? I am still new at this, but I have used Amplitude to 'match' some of my favorite guitar tones. While listening to everythin...

Amplitube Max sacrilege
Got a very reasonably priced version of Amplitube Max and an iRig HD 2 interface. I've been using it for a few weeks. It's installed on an I5 based PC. There is A LOT of bang for the buck! Works very nicely and models many amps, stomp boxes, rack effects, cabs, mics, etc... This thing is fun to play...

Re: 6G2 Brown Princeton Build
Nice pic. I love the way ALL the guitarists and bassist are standing behind or out of the bore sight of the amps. The sax player is getting murdered. I guess he didn't know any better.

Re: dumble kit
TM - I agree. No different than Brown Note. I remember how Moss was viewed too. BN wasn't that much different than Ceriatone IMO, except that Nik was viewed as going too far and not saying thank you enough or in the right way or whatever.

Re: Filter Caps on Mains?
IME, X and Y caps are used for EMI purposes concerning compatibility to standards, such as UL, CE, and others. The purpose isn't to stop EMI from entering the device. The purpose is to stop it from exiting the device and interfering with other devices in the vicinity. They will provide filtering to ...

Re: dumble kit
The problem with offering the kit, isn't putting together the kit. The real problem, as I see it, is handling the tech support that will inevitably be expected or required. The nice guys here at TAG will probably help the customers, but the willingness drops off when the kit supplier 'steals' the TA...

I wouldn't do too much head scratching. It might start bleeding. :P The thread has morphed into something loosely related to the original idea and should probably become a new thread.

Re: Load sensing switch for saw and vacuum
I see where you are going. IMO, there is margin in the labeling of the devices and in the house wiring. I bet you don't blow a fuse. If you do, then you can implement a workaround. That's how I roll.
