    PRS Silver Sky - Whammy improvement

    Hi, I have a PRS Silver Sky SE, which is a way better guitar than my Fender USA Strat ironically.

    Game changer for dialing presets!

    Difference between powered monitors & a powered mixer with PA speakers

    Hi Ronlee, The best advice I could give is to replace those behringer speakers with the best studio monitors you can afford. There is no easy way out with speakers and if the ones you are using are crap, any decisions you make (like setting up presets eq, or mixing songs) will also be crap...
