I think my main priority is something which can make some interesting sounds, hence my original interest in the Electribe. I'd not really considered the MC303/505 but I'll have another look. I've been trying to do drums with a computer for a while now and just not been getting anywhere so I want to ...

Drum Machine Thoughts?
I'm thinking of investing in a drum machine, something interesting, second hand and fun. I was almost sold on an Electribe ER but spent yesterday doing some digging in the direction of other Electribes, a Roland R8/5 and maybe a Yamaha DX200?
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/advice?
Thanks

I use a Marshall EL34 50/50 rack amp with a GT-8 for preamp/delay and, recently, a couple of drive pedals in the 8's loop. To my ears, it's a great combo and more than once guitarists have come up to me after gigs to ask how I make my guitar sound. These amps have a ton of headroom, are really flexi...

Thanks for the ideas, I'll post another mix when I've had a fiddle. We are a three-piece and I've got about a ten tracks I think - vox, guitar, bass, individual drums and a couple of room mics. I've panned the drums around but left the guitar dead centre, I'll move it off to one side a bit. I'm not ...

Mixing a Live Recording
I've been mixing a live recording of our band made in December and the first pass is in: http://soundcloud.com/smnwail4u/alive-in-the-pubic-triangle/s-VThfA Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The recordings were made from the channels on the desk and then I've mixed ...

While on the topic of multi-effects, Boss have just announced their latest effort: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=1187 The appearance is a lot better than the GT-10 although there's still not as many knobs as the GT-8 (6 for that matter) for instant access to the main settin...

While I agree that a multi can be limiting, if you get a good one that makes sounds you like they're great value and very practical. I used to have a ton of pedals and sold them all to buy a GT-6 which only cost half what I made from the pedals. Never looked back. I now have a GT-8 and it's great fo...

I would advise patience. It's some years (7?) since I picked up a second 1936 for my rig but I only paid £100 for it and having kept half an eye on eBay since see them go for £100-150 every so often. You could be looking at up to six months of waiting though (especially for one local to you) so it...

Faulty Boss LS-2
Hi, I'm looking to pick up an LS-2 and have found one for sale with the following fault: "one of the channels is not functioning at full volume....definately a fault. You have to turn it full up to get a regular volume. This position would normally give 20dB boost. However one channel is comple...

This is quite an interesting one to me. For preamping, I use a GT-8 running two different amp models in stereo and then either plug them into the returns of two different amps or, if I'm using my own kit, either side of my EL50/50 and then into one or two cabs. Using the two different amps models de...

OK, first post and it's a clichéd and poorly lit photo of my pedals. Mainly to try and hide the fact I'm a multi-fx pariah. Welcome, and it doesn't make you a pariah here to use multi-FX. I have a Zoom GFX707 and a Line 6 Pod 2 (ex Progrockabuse), though I don't use them for gigs at the moment, an...
