Why not accept paypal?

Issues with bad buyers and sellers, paypal always got me my money back and had my back when I was in the right on a selling deal. There were 3 instances where I sent out my product and the seller claimed they never received it, a simple tracking number to paypal and problem solved. A few...

I have all the free ones already converted to Axe-Fx format if you want them :) I too am a versatile 7-string player. Lounge, to blues, to death metal and everything in between! I'm on my phone so I'll listen to your tunes in the morning!

Axe-FX Ultra Arrival!!!

What kind of music do you play? I could help a lot more with impulses if you give me some direction :) 5150... Metal I assume? Skip Redwirez and go straight to Ownhammer. I have almost the entire Redwirez Big Box collection and I haven't found a use for any of them. Thin and honky are...

Why not accept paypal?

Cliff accepts Discover... need I say more? :D The fees aren't the problem. The store I manage is part of a $10,000,000,000 fortune 500 company, I'm sure they get a pretty good deal. I see the credit card charges on my P&L report every month, right on par with paypal's 3%... Unless it's...

Why not accept paypal?

I don't understand why people hate it so much. In about 3 years time I did $70,000 worth of sales with paypal without a single issue. Every time I've had an issue, buying or selling, they were prompt to help me out and make it right. For many years I've basically used it as my primary bank...

Why not accept paypal?

I've managed a retail business for 7 years and owned 2 of my own businesses :D I know better than that! About the same, if anything credit cards are more.

Why not accept paypal?

I bought a used ultra about a year ago but decided to use it as backup and buy a brand new one with warranty as my main unit. Emailed Fractal on Monday, they said they'd have some available Tuesday, they actually came up available in the middle of the day yesterday. My card was declined...

Axe Fx woes.

They had some in stock at about 1:00pm central time yesterday. 7 hours later when I had the money in my account to buy... they were all gone.

Powering ON/OFF

Have at it lol, it's not my picture! Found it with a google search a while back. It was on The Gear Page and Cliff chimed in to comment on the use of electrolytic caps. I do believe you are correct on all counts. I actually didn't notice the big power supply cap :D It also appears there's a...

Powering ON/OFF

I PROMISE there are some electrolytic caps in there... But they're for blocking phantom power from the XLR outs. The filter caps in the Axe-FX are silver. :D That said, is there any danger in leaving the power switch on all the time and toggling the power with a power conditioner?

Yamaha DSR115

The DSR115 almost blew the K12 I tried right out of the store :D No comparison at all IMO. I tried a bunch of cabs before deciding on this one and coming from 20 years of 4x12's and tube amps, the DSR115 was the one that felt the most like I was standing in front of a cranked amp through a...

Ughh atomic passive def not enough

This will definitely do the trick: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Yamaha-DSR112-Active-Loudspeaker?sku=H02701 I ended up going with the DSR115 but I tried the 12" as well and both of them can get to ear-splitting levels. More than any of us would ever need!
