    All-Tube Power Amp to pair with svp-pro

    Thanks so much for all the responses guys! Sorry for the newby thread... I guess everyone has to start somewhere! I think I will bow to the superior knowledge of TB and realize that I am in WAY over my head. I had only a small idea about the expense and dangers of DIY and thats why I brought...

    All-Tube Power Amp to pair with svp-pro

    So basically the general consensus is to just not go for it and look for an old used one? I was hoping to save a few bucks but it seems like that isn't the case? I'll talk to my E.E. guy and see what he says. He has built and wired an entire guitar preamp and power amp from scratch. I think the...

    All-Tube Power Amp to pair with svp-pro

    Hey guys. I've found a little useful info in the search, but I need more help. I recently found a cheap and local svp-pro (needed new tubes and filter caps and the owner was looking to dump it.) I got it up and running and dig the tone through headphones and solid state power amps but it isn't...

    audio engineer/stubborn lead singer tone dissagreement

    First of all, many thinks to all the tips! I will definitely take all of them in to consideration. I think we can reach a happy medium of sorts. Im probably going to re track the bass with my new 5 string jazz im purchasing tomorrow :) rather than the really muddy sammick I have been using. And...

    bi(tri?)-amping bass

    You hear a good bit about bi amping guitars (splitting signal from guitar going through 2 amps, miking both) to get a thick sound. Has anyone tried this on bass? Is it worth the effort? Im contemplating using a old ampeg fliptop through a 1x15 played full tilt for grit plus using a GK micing...

    audio engineer/stubborn lead singer tone dissagreement

    Hey guys, my band is in the process of recording our album. Me and our singer/keys player are doing everything ourselves and we are having disagreements in bass tone. His idea is pillowy and soft, a lot of 100 hz and not much growl or defenition. My ideal would be punchy and articulate. Our...

    Pre gig nap

    Ill try to hunt down the pic but no promises, this was on someone else's camera months ago... Maybe it has something to do with me being slightly insomniatic/wierd sleeping schedule. I generally only sleep 4-5 hours at night with 2 or 3 45 minute naps as my schedule allows(college student). So...

    Pre gig nap

    It is the weirdest thing, about 45 minutes before any gig that I am excited for I go into the "zone"... which puts me in a really relaxed state(I have absolutely no stage fright). So I go into the green room, back of car, or random bench and fall straight asleep for 15 or 20 minutes regardless...
