All, I live in northern Alabama and the fluctuations in temperature and humidity makes year around guitar finishing a problem. So..... I'm building a paint booth in the corner of two walls in one of the rooms (8’X12’) in my shop. The walls are covered with plywood (instead of sheetrock). I...

I really never thought of putting the OD in the effects loop until I saw someone recommend it on youtube, in contrast to the person who said it would hurt the amp. I had never tried it, so I thought I'd ask around, mainly to see if it would hurt the amp. I put the OC-3, CEB-3, & DD-3 in...

All, I was messing around with my pedal board and was thinking of trying my BOSS ODB-3.1 (H)Overdrive (mod) in the effects loop instead of in the instrument line. I remember seeing a youtube video where someone said that was a bad idea. I'm not sure why this is a bad idea as long as I don't...

All, First, Thanks for the help. Update. It appears to be a house grounding issue. I took the amp to my neighbor's home and there was no hum. I've tried four different circuits in the house with all the fans, florescent lights and AC unit off. No luck. Next, I'm going to check my E-...

Hi all, I've have a Marshall MB450H bass head. I've noticed that when I turn the tone control all the way up (CW) on the bass, I get a lot of hum/feedback thru my 410 cabs and thru my headphones. Turn the tone down (CCW), hum stops. Here's what I've tried with no luck.... 1. Moved only...

HI all, I have a Hartke HA4000 and Peavey 1820 cab. For the purposes of practice, I was wondering if there was a way to pipe an iPod to speaker and be able to listen to both the amp (bass) and iPod at the same time through headphones. Basically the same setup that many of the combo amps...
