    What exactly do you mean by slippage?

    cutting the excess string when changing them

    This is as good a thread as any to post. So I think I've found what works best on my electric bass (Ibanez Soundgear). Today I cut at about three and a half inches past the center of the tuning peg. All strings had about three wraps. They all look good. I'm happy with that. So on my acoustic...

    Amped SVT-4 Pro Cab Advice

    Thanks JimmyM, that really helps me out a lot. I didn't even know where to start looking. You are appreciated. Going back to the cabs discussion, the 410HEs (two of them) vs. the 810E...you said they'd work about the same, but what difference is there? I'm guessing since there's technically two...

    Amped SVT-4 Pro Cab Advice

    I think I've always thought of racks as being inherently large. I bet that has something to do with doing IT stuff, where racks went like six feet tall so you could mount all the hardware. So uh...I guess I need to look at racks for amp heads. Are racks and rack mounted amp heads like...industry...

    Amped SVT-4 Pro Cab Advice

    Any other type of case that's good for it besides a rack? And thanks for the input. I have so little knowledge of hardware and gear.

    Amped SVT-4 Pro Cab Advice

    Oh and one more thing....I also know nothing about cases. My amp doesn't travel much, so it's been fine without a case, but I'm going to play a set in December. I figure now is as good a time as any to finally get a case for the head. But the SVT 4 pro has vents on the sides, and it looks like...

    Amped SVT-4 Pro Cab Advice

    Yeah this is a good thread for me. I also have an SVT 4 pro. I have an SVT15E and an SVT410HE. Apparently this is not a great setup. I was going to ask would it be better to have an 8x10 instead of my current setup? Or would two 4x10s (i.e. get rid of the 15E and get another 410HE) be just as...

    Ampeg SVT 4-Pro road case?

    Oh this thread is for me. I also would like to get a case for my SVT 4 Pro. But I'm not going to rack mount it. The SVT 4 Pro has vents on either side (but not on the back), so if anyone could help me find a case that would be suitable, it would be appreciated. I've had this amp for over four...

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    I'm keeping the B3K first in my chain. After twiddling the Megalith some, the overdrive adds a nice nasty edge to the fuzz. Ultra gnarly. Been using my electric a lot more lately. It's better suited for the fuzz than the acoustic. I definitely have to change the way I play with the fuzz on. Less...

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    I got my Megalith and then had to go out of town. Playing around a little with it now. First thing: Holy hell. This thing is a monster. I've never used a fuzz pedal before, so I didn't know how different fuzz would sound than my cranked up B3K. Completely different dimensions. Ok so the...

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    Right on. I'm wondering if there could be any usable sounds from turning on the B3K and Megalith at the same time. Guess I'll just have to play around. Might be a disaster. Hmm. Might be a beautiful disaster.

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    Well my Megalith is made. Just need to wait for it to arrive now. Quick question: is it recommended to put fuzz before overdrive or after? My chain goes Overdrive --> Phaser --> Chorus --> Delay. Where would you recommend I put the fuzz?

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    Ok, I finally bit the bullet. I sent my deposit to Mountainking. Some day in the near future, there will be a Megalith waiting for me. When that day comes, I may have to dust off the electric and put away the acoustic. ....Nah I'll keep the acoustic out at first, but I'll still dust off the...

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    Maybe you could rig up a system where your duplicate your clean signal and send it out three ways, and then run all three pedals at the same time into three independent PAs and move so much air you create a vacuum, thus defeating the entire purpose of this post. Yeah I guess you'll just have to...
