I'm getting ready to mic up my cab to record. I got everything set up (mostly), but I'm having second thoughts on which mic(s) to use. I know it's going to be a ribbon mic and a dynamic mic close, and a condenser mic back a few feet. My ribbon mic is the sE Electronics VR1, and I love it...

I finally ordered tubes for my Stiletto last week and popped them in over the weekend. It was down for a few months while I procrastinated. I was running the Verellen Skyhammer along with the Mesa Mark V in stereo and I was getting along just fine. Last night we had loud rehearsal for the...

I'm putting this on my pedalboard case!

First, I did some science. I lined up the original Electro Harmonix Bassballs pedal, the Mooer Bass Sweeper, and the new Beez Nutz pedal from Griffin Analog. Honestly, Wayne just made me hate my favorite bass pedal. The original is a one trick pony, and I like that trick, but the controls...

I recorded my band over the weekend, starting with the drums. We all played together to get the feel, but the bass and synth were DI and the guitar cab was mic'ed up facing the wall with a bunch of couch cushions between it and the wall. I didn't really get any bleed in the room, and the...

Once upon a time, when I was but a young shit, I bought my first real bass. It was a red Schecter Stiletto 4 string I got from Guitar Center. It was my first neck through bass, and the first bass I bought new. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to play it all night. I was playing it in my jam...

I was driving home from practice when the lights went out in my Honda. I just replaced the battery, but it turns out the alternator took a shit. I'm sitting on a side street off the highway in a sketchy part of town waiting for a tow truck.

I don't normally do this, and if it was a critical component I absolutely wouldn't even consider it. I ordered a pedalboard breakout panel mount from Ali Express today. I know they stole their design from Best Tronics. I know it's cheap Chinese bullshit. Even after I paid for transit and...

I realized that mixing speakers varies depending on speaker sensitivity, and I think I stumbled onto something. It was a revelation to me at least. When mixing speakers, it seems speakers within 2db of each other work well in the X pattern, but speakers beyond 2db in difference work better...

I bought the wrong connector. I was going to make a spare wireless cable, but I got a mini 3 pin XLR instead of a mini 4 pin XLR. I made a female mini XLR to male XLR patch cable instead. What the fuck do I do with this? What is it even used for? Does anyone need this?

Interesting. He doesn't boost it in the demo though.

Let's face it, there is no Steve Harris, Les Claypool, or Alex Webster on this forum. How well can you play bass though? DO you thump some grooves out, or do you just pick the root notes of the guitar chords and call it a "baseline"?

I've been making this regularly for breakfast. It's cheap and easy, and fairly keto-friendly. Anyone else make Shakshuka? What's in yours?

I got the D'addario XPND Mic Stand today, and I'm going to mount it on my pedalboard today. I looked around, and it seemed to be the best option for a pedalboard mount for a mic stand out right now. First thoughts are that it's stout plastic and the quick release seems to work well. Not sure...

If Wayne puts a Guitar/Bass switch on a pedal, I have to buy it. I now add this to my collection. My CE MOD showed up today. I'm about to take it to the jam spot and do a shootout with my rusty dusty Boss CE-2 and see what's up.

Should have known it was only a matter of time before I asked this: Does @griff10672 make a phaser pedal? A true bypass Phase 90? A tweakable phaser would be awesome. I'm a sucker for anything with a Guitar/Bass switch on it too. Whatcha got?

I powered a Brother P-touch label printer with a 1Spot power cable. Apparently it takes a 2.1mm center negative standard Boss power supply just like everything else. Cool. Anyways, I labeled my pedalboard.

I had my pedalboard set up last night for the first time at practice last night through both rigs. Everything worked and I got everything dialed in. The only issue I had was the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man Pedal making noise in my signal chain. I had to turn it off. That...

Okay. Help me think through this. I'm running a Fractal FX8 in stereo through two rigs on either side of the stage. Originally, it came on it's own board with an expression pedal hooked up already, so I just plugged straight into the unit. I needed humbuster cables to keep from creating...

This is my first time dealing with a Powercon connector for my pedalboard. I got that wired up last night and it worked. My wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man and I rejoiced when everything turned on properly. I was really nervous my first time wiring it up, but it worked out. Who...
