    Shadow sh075 guitar to midi $150

    Just a suggestion.....you say your moving up to a ghost. I don't know what those are worth, but you might want to look at a Godin xtsa...I have this plugged into an old roland gr-1 I bought used....but I just use it for midi output. To sum it up, the piezo bridges are far superior to any...

    MFX or Pedal board for leads

    Thanks.....I've got some planning to do. Looks like the A/B setup is probably the way to go, I use a modified Valveking halfstack....with no fx loop switching. While I do have a Digitech RP355, I don't find some of its Fx usable, so stompboxes are probably the way to go for this. So.....lets...

    MFX or Pedal board for leads

    For the most part I like nice soupy lead sound, which requires the addition of reverb, delay, some chorus (depends on situation), and gain/boost. Until now I've always done that in my DAW setup.....ie. record rhythm tracks, set up lead sound....record lead tracks Now I'm getting to the point...

    I've been looking at the behringer options, Peavey 215R (ithink).....mackie thump, musicians friend Kustom 2x15 + crown or QSC, or Behringer Power amp. My concerns: - Bass response (you know so the bass player doesn't bitch) - distortion/amplitude (want clarity at higher jam volumes - can't...

    Mackie Big Knob - Buzz, hum, low quality and faulty?

    Have the Monitor Station....and love it! It was a spontaneous purchase, and was almost regretting it on the drive home......but after I hooked it up, i can't live without it. Don't know about coloring the sound.....I listened to both central and monitor stations in the store and couldn't hear...

    Recommend a PC (Windows)

    You need a gigabyte board to get a TI firewire chipset....but honestly I recently priced out comparable machines with amd hex and intel i7...and the price difference was only 50 in amd's favour...given that and how the i7 accesses the ram bus, I'd go intel....and seriously build one, you'll be...

    Opened up my Valveking Head with Shocking Results!

    Got my head back today....and my GOD it sounds sooooooo good! New tubes, with perfectly balanced preamp phase tube and matched within 0.5 mV of each other, then dialed in to run a little hotter.... So happy, think I'll be re-amping from now on instead of all ITB. Cheers!
