The same effect is found in flute playing circles. (yes I play flute, no I'm not gay..) Solid gold and silver flutes are perceived to be better sounding when players can see them, but in blind tests flutes of the same construction method (pearl concert series for example) cannot be consistently diff...

He wouldn't be dead if it was a knife fight. It's not as easy as you think to kill with a knife, humans are tougher than most realize. I hope none of you fellas have to find out the hard way. Oh, and by the way, socialism isn't so bad, we have had it in OZ since 1948. Don't be offended, just open mi...

What it's like to work in a Music Store.. This is Fariggin Hilarious!!.. :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-xX7iWvzbo&feature=player_embedded Tony Aw, geez, this is embarrassing...I wish I'd known somebody was recording me, and I would have played "Politician." LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL

Hey you can count on me for the low brow comment, if that's what you meant Cliff!? .

Your research sounds pretty intense, pardon the pun. I love studies on consciousness and the like.

Seriously, I spent $750 in the early 90's for a second hand four track and now you can get stuff like these zooms for $150 bucks. The value is...

I think hybrid is the way to go if convenience is the governing factor . My Vox Tonelab LE uses the 2 sides of a single 12ax7 to replicate the preamp and power amps of various amp models. It can sound like a tube amp because in some limited sense is a tube amp. BUT, it is limited to 24 bit 48khz pro...

Regardless of the sound, lets face it, there is no single definition of good tone, (I mean Buddy Guy's 1970 ice pick tone on a 335 remains a fav for me), it's still all about the performance. If the connection with the equipment is in anyway stilted, like Tom pointed out, then the tone becomes irrel...

Sweet info Selloutrr, thanks for that.

Bruno designed the Sovtek Mig 50 or 60 i don't remember off the top of my head. The 50 was very fender bassman the 60 was actually a great rock amp. I owned a Mig 50, stupidly traded it for god knows what. it was a real ballsy amp, lots of bass, and had punchy top end like a bassman, I alway though...

Bewdiful...

Thing is, these SS modeling devices DO sound damn good in their own right Couldn't agree more Bob, they are distinct sounds even though they may have some tonal signatures of the original. But beyond that they just don't have that 'wild presence' that all that voltage creates. Sort of like the anal...

Happy New Year, Amp Garage peoples, Thanks for the making 2010 that much better... .

I had a patient who won a six figure settlement for facial and arm burns because a can of WD40 ignited in her hand. Her gas dryer was squeaking while it ran so she decided to put it out from the wall, reach around back and blindly spray WD40 into the dryer motor area while it was running. The basis...

Did I say ugly? Well its been educational at least. Hope to try 6P14P (EL84) today and maybe 6P6S (6V6).

bad and badder

Sweet, you even adapted the PCB, thats very cool thanks for humoring me...

If the world needed another definition of tragic, it just got one. I'm glad that in Oz we have very tight gun laws because there are plenty of mentally ill about... The Gov reacted very strongly when we had Australia's worst mass killing (Port Arthur Massacre, 35 dead 21 wounded in 1996, mentally il...
