    New Pedal Day! Darkglass Vintage Microtubes

    Yeah I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Definitely the best guys I've ever known. And about the pedal responding to your playing, I find that to be totally true. In the clip I have the drive at about 11 o clock and the blend around 9, a lot of the overdriven sound comes from picking hard...

    New Pedal Day! Darkglass Vintage Microtubes

    Hello everyone, my birthday was a few months ago and I've been traveling a lot, however a couple of my friends pooled some money together and after I got home surprised me with the Darkglass Vintage OD. Needless to say I was very surprised and thankful they would go to such lengths. Anyway...

    Bass Talk

    Hey guys, first post in a while, and I'm looking for some advice. I've been seriously debating on a new piece of gear and I've recently gotten into the home recording side of things and for a while I was considering getting a guitar to use so my "songs" would have more dynamics. But after...

    New Pup Help!

    Hello everyone, I'm thinking about getting new pickups for both of my basses. I have a Spector Legend Custom 5 string, and a Spector NS-2000-5. The legend has EMG-HZ's in it and the NS has the general EMG's. I don't really have a preference to active or passive, and I play in a...

    Seeking Tone Help!

    I suppose I misspoke. I do use the FX loop of the PF-500. Also on the PF-500 should I have the FX Mix turned all the way up (maybe that's a silly question)? What do you suggest for amp modeling on the X3, from what I've been using the Classic Jazz, Rock Classic and Motor City are my favorite, I...

    Seeking Tone Help!

    I am looking for advice on how to get more punch, and fullness out my sound. I play in a progressive metal band, if I had to describe bands we sound like it would be Periphery, The Contortionist, and maybe a little Between the Buried and Me. I'll give you a little rundown of my rig as of...

    Boss GT-10B Inquiry

    I recently picked up the Boss GT-10B multi effects processor. I'm honestly in love with all the variation I can get from it, and am still learning all the in's and out's of the unit itself. I am curious if anyone has any patch ideas to achieve a similar tone to Dan Briggs from Between the Buried...

    Ampeg PF-500

    ^ Yeah thats basically exactly what the manual says. Does anyone know how to answer my other question? Also if anyone knows how to get the sound that David Darocha got on the new Born of Osiris album, some tips would be appreciated, I know they recorded with axe-fx, but im not sure if he just...

    Ampeg PF-500

    Alright thanks a lot for your help man. I read over the owners manual several times, I may have just misread. If I don't necessarily want the overdriven sound, should I boost the compression?

    Ampeg PF-500

    Isn't peaking the amp generally bad for it though? I've never owned an Ampeg before though, so I'll be more than happy to give it a shot.

    Ampeg PF-500

    I recently picked up an Ampeg PF-500 to use for gigs, I'm running it through an Acoustic 8x10 and into my Schectar Raiden Special 5 string. While I have a pretty decent sound coming out of it, I'm having some problems getting volume from it, I have the gain at about 11 o clock, and the volume at...
