Ha! It looks better in pictures than real life actually. It's a VERY old house.


Yeah, the 57 did sound harsh come to think of it. Definitely appreciate the advice. Of course, the weak link...

Hi Aldwyn..... I agree that the Metropolitan is a great match with the 513. Mine is a BRW neck also, and I think that the warmth of that tames the aggressiveness of the Metro on the gain channel a...

Thanks for the tip Les,

I had a reason for work to compare a bunch of different mic's, and the Royer is certainly wonderful. With pre-amp, it's a pretty pricey beast though. I didn't do a...

Thanks guys...and you ought to know Froggie! I always keep an eye out for posts with pics of your 513 collection...


You know...it's funny. I find myself gigging the DGT (though mine's actually...

I recently picked up a ribbon mic and have been trying to figure out how to optimally use it. I haven't been using my 513 very much lately, mainly because I have a bunch of options, and the 513 was...

Sounds great Em7! I find it easier to do audio only, and just to attach the audio to a few still images to generate a video rather than to show a real-time video of me. Of course that approach...

I like PRS as much (no wait...actually more...) than the next guy. But to suggest that a company washes it's hands once the product hits the channel is just silly. There was certainly room for...

Personally, I think that the NF3 pickup can be more PAF like than 408s in humbucker mode.

For what it's worth, here's the NF3 in comparison with the 408 in humbucker mode in different pickup...

Man...this guitar is evidently a bit of a slut. It gets around....

Boy...this just reinforces that I have no real clue. Ironically, I just got back from a gig where we played "Can't You See". I'd have sworn that I was playing the solo in D major. And I wouldn't...

Great stuff Martysnarf! I've gotta admit, I didn't even know that there were two different 2x12 types of closed backs.

I actually loaded mine up with a bunch of different speakers, and liked...

Definitely filing this one away in the "I snooze, I loose" category. Oustanding score!!

All of this avoids the question of how different capacitor brands affect tone (which, given that the original poster suggested that he had decided on Orange Drops, for whatever reason, seems relavent...

Yeah... I remember you. You're the dude who got me hooked on R5's if memory serves. If I know what's good for me, I'll put you on my "ignore" list :) Though since I don't have Brent on my "ignore"...

Yeah.... I've never understood the truisms put out there that a 100W half stack is too much. Regarding ease of transport, a Marshall 4x12 is as easy as it gets. Just wheel it where you want it. It...

I'm curious....has anyone here played through a real-deal Dumble and compared it to something like a Two Rock? I'm interested because I have a TR ODS, which I love. I have no clue though as to...

Depends on the amp it's paired with. I tend to gravitate towards JTM/Bassman style amps, and Celestion Blues (or better yet, Celestion T652's) are great for those. I have a Vox 2x12 loaded with...

That probably means that the designer chose a good "home base" relative to our tastes at least, maximizing the range of tones that we'd want to work over. Both are outstanding amps.

You better...

There were a few threads here about the MDT and HX/DA where settings were asked for. The fake snow day yesterday found me noodling around at home and used the opportunity to dust off the Signature...

Back to the original question, the setlist seems fine if you're playing for the geriatric crowd. Assuming that it's a popular club though, people will mostly be in their 20s and 30s. While a few...

I don't know. Interestingly (to me), the most popular cover bands around here seem not to pay too much attention to the details of tone relative to how accurate it is for a given song. The common...

EL34's. I wasn't aware that they made them with 6L6's. In spite of that, at low gain settings, the MDT sounds more like a bassman or JTM to my ears...but I'm easily confused...



I don't have...

I'm the contrarian. If I had to pick between the two, I'd go for the MDT. I agree that it's not as flexible as the HX/DA, but the MDT has more magic (for my tastes and preferences). And speaking...

Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact settings. For the MDT, it was likely around (out of 10) 5 on the volume (gain), master dimed, 3-way toggle set to bright, presence at 6, bass at 4, mids at...
