    Strangest things you’ve seen at your gigs

    Not a gig but I saw this at a David Allen Coe show about 15 or so years ago. DAC is playing and singing a song when his guitar player stepped up to him and tuned David's guitar as he was playing it. First and only time I've ever seen that at a show.

    Here's a make you feel old post for the old guys...

    I remember that day as if it were yesterday. My high school girlfriend and I went to the Mall that day to go to the record store. As we walked down the hall towards Mayor records (remember record stores?) we could hear the closing moments of "Runnin' With the Devil" as we walked. Just as we...

    Ebay and Reverb question

    Sold a preamp on the bay for $350. The bay and PayPal took just over $50 in fees for the sale. I sold a power amp on Reverb for $350 and they took $12 and change. Both sales were about 3 years ago but Reverb is still the way to go.

    any car audio experts here?

    Going active with the tweet amplification is up to you. I've done both active and passive crossover setups in the past and to be perfectly honest I don't have a preference either way. As for where to place the tweets that seems to be a personal preference kind of thing. Personally I think the...

    I've got 6.5" Morel "Hybrid" components in the front of my Silverado and Morel mid-woofers in the back. Your components should sound noticeably better with more power driving them. In my experience that's pretty much the case whenever you have component speakers with passive crossovers that...

    IMO, you really should consider replacing the factory HU as well. Feeding the signal from it to a quality amp and speaker setup is a perfect example of “garbage in, garbage out”.

    Matrix vs Tube

    FWIW, here's how I look at it. The Axe-FX (Standard, Ultra & II) is a solid state device that models mostly tube amplifiers. In order for it to sound it's best it should be used with SS amplification. I've only tried a few of each (tube & SS amps with both cabs and FRFR setups) and in each case...

    Pedal powering question

    This is true for unregulated power supplies. I personally would never use an unregulated power supply with any type of audio circuitry. Their output is not only unregulated but more importantly they usually have poor filtering too which can lead to hum.

    S.O.S. Axe Fx Ultra hum/buzz under tones. S.O.S.

    To eliminate the possibility of any external sources as the cause of the noise I would take your guitar, Ultra and monitors and set them up in a different room. If the noise persists my next step would be looking into having the Ultra serviced.

    So, why the phantom power mod?
