New Ink Day!

I have been wanting my son's name somehow incorporated into a tattoo. Finally decided what I wanted and had time to draw it out on my computer. Printed it out the size I wanted and took it to my artist. Very pleased with the outcome.

Check your Amp block balance..

Updated to Quantum 1.02 tonight and my "Y" state amps sounded bad in my presets. I dialed and twiddled for about 45 min and it was puzzling the mess out of me. The way I have my presets setup is that "X" state is clean, "Y" state is gain. The gain state sounded muffled, no clarity, no balls. I...

Working on improvising skills, any good places for backing tracks?

I've been working on my improvising skills a lot lately while learning theory somewhat. It has helped quite a bit having a backing track to put those notes to use to see/hear how it all goes together musically. As I'm learning more, I wan't to have much more variety of styles to practice with...

SHURE GLXD16-Z2 thoughts?

Wanting to go back to wireless in my home because I like the freedom. Do any of you have any experience with the sound/build quality of the Shure GLXD16-Z2? There is a guy local who is selling off most of his gear to pay bills and what not. He is asking $300 for it. Thoughts? Thanks, Chris:)
