Or did you try redownloading them? Your first downloads might have corrupted for some reason.
If you are using IE you may want to try Firefox. SOMETIMES, the association of the browser, the browser version, etc.; can be the problem.

Re: Gibson Factory Raided at Gun point

The article Nick C posted makes me admire "The Greatest Generation" all the more. They were able to defeat REAL enemies. My mother once joked about "Soon it'll be Retroactive Abortion" when watching someone talk about the "right to choose". Funny joke at the time, seems that the increasing level of ...

Re: Gibson Factory Raided at Gun point

cbass, A good friend of mine (we grew up together in Florida, and he was my best man at my wedding) lives right up the road from you in Licking, MO. He never mentioned the checkpoints, but he is often out of the area on the road (truck driver). He loves it there, but the checkpoints you talk about w...

Re: Gibson Factory Raided at Gun point

Before the Obama-phobes start getting too silly, just know that Henry (current owner of Gibson) is famously one of the biggest dirt-bags in the MI industry. Everyone I know that has come into contact with him (and or worked with/for him) hasn't been the least bit surprised by his recent run-ins wit...

Re: Rack Mount Reverb/Delay sugguestions?

Thanks for the feedback... I see TC products are definitely leading the pack right now!!! The G Major 2 is nice but I highly recommend with all of these that you use a Suhr minimix that will allow you to kept the dry signal analog. The processors have great effects but kill the dry with the A/D and ...

Rack Mount Reverb/Delay sugguestions?

Building the cab to my new Dumble ODS 50 #102 clone. This custom head cab is taller to accommodate the Dumbleator and a rack mount reverb/delay unit. Since I use delays a lot, I wanted to get a decent rack mount unit in the $200-$500 range. I want a good reverb unit with a delay, but I'll still use ...

Re: Electric Guitar Strings

My first choice: Elixir... These last 4x-5x longer with my body chemistry...

Second choice: Boomers

Third choice: Old strings or nothing... Everything else is a distant 3rd..

I've got a roll of that Aluminium Foil Duct Tape (the real metal stuff) here already. Do you think that would be good enough?

Shielding a Dumble Cab

I've got my mostly completed Dumble build sitting here with a completed Dumbleator, now I need to get the trannies, tubes, and build the cab. I'm going to be building my cab either next weekend or the one after, and I had a question about shielding the cab. Is shielding an issue with Dumbles? Where'...

There is a good thread at mylespaul that includes plots showing the taper of various pots. I have measured several of mine and t...

Re: Anyone have any experience with a Peavey Valverb?

I have a Valverb and use it in a loop with a D-lator until I find something better. It is ok at best- the problem is that the controls seem poorly thought out. There is either a LOAD of reverb or not enough. I can't find a sweet spot on it. Also, you have an actual spring tank in a rack, so if you ...
