Recently i got a mac and one of the reasons i did so is for garage band. but anyways i recorded one song, did all the parts. it came out great. But now I'm working on a new song. what I'm trying to do is plug my 1960's fender amp into my mac so i can get the same distorted sound that the amp produces. the amp has a plugin the back for EXT.

Hello Everyone.

I should know this, and probably did at one time, but...

when using passive monitors with a power amp, should I set the gain on the amp to full and adjust the input for a comfortable db level (85db or so), or should I set the console output for unity gain and adjust the power amp to the desired level?

In the owners manual for the Tascam dp-02cf I purchased it says never to connect your speaker output from your guitar amp to the recorder.

Is this a power regulation issue or could it possibly do much harm by doing so..

So is my only option to mic the amp?

Hi there - I recently purchased a cheap 100watt stereo power amp from maplins for use in my guitar rack system(I got fed up of lugging my 20kg tube power amp around!) .

I am trying to use our Tascam US-1641 with all channels in our church for multi-track recording. I have a Rolls RA62Ah headphone preamp mixer that I am thinking of trying to use to where I can adjust the gain coming into the 1/4" inputs on the back of the US-1641. Can I use this as long as I use stereo cables? And would this be possible to use without damage to the unit?

So I'm selling my Ampeg 8x10 because I no longer do gigs at the moment, and I can probably repurchase an Avatar 1x15 or 2x12 if I ever wanted to start up a band again... (plus I need the money!)

But I am never selling my SVT2-Pro. NEVER!

I want to use it to record (well, I have before but if I sell my cab...well, you see the problem).

Hello.
I have this old Peavy 75Watt Solo series Bandit amp. About 10 years ago dicking around I was playing with it and I had two distortion effects pedals running into it and I was jamming really loud and it just stopped working.

No crackles, no pops, nothing, just silence.

Anyways, I threw it into storage and recently dug it out because I need a new amp.

Hey everybody, I was wondering what would be a good start for a 4 channel headphone amp for me to use while laying out a Guitars / Drum track both individually but in the same performance and what would be some affordable headphones to use along with it?

Thanks,

Hey guys, maybe you can help. I've bought a crown XTI4000. I want to buy 2 main cabinets for it. The amp gives me 1200W/chan at 4 ohms. I'm looking at getting the Yamaha S215V's, which are 1000W at continuous, and 2000w peak. Question I have, as I'm very newe to this, am I gonna be distorting too much because of a lack of headroom? Or do you guys think I'll be okay?

I am interested in this for re-amping jazz guitar (archtop). I DI with an Avalon U5 and use a reflexion filter with mic to mic up the guitar acoustically. I like the idea of not having an amp in the same room so I can record the pure sound of my archtop although would like to add my Polytone miced up into the mix.
