  1. Ultradust thanks for some of the more interesting posts this forum's seen!
  2. when Kelly Clarkson was thin (very briefly) she was insanely hot, what a shame Is this your professional opinion as a corporate sound guy?
  3. Yeah I've got a powerblock too, I keep in in a little silver case along with spare leads of all kinds and an sm58+clip for when I get on stage and see a mic that's encrusted with rust, spit, slime and food.
  4. This is an upgraded Vox AC30CC amp in a Zilla Cabs headshell. It's got Sozo caps, Mercury Magnetics transformers and choke, and some other smaller tweaks to give the top boost channel more headroom and give it a more vintage tone, including the plate resistor mod, cathode bypass cap removal and treble cap mod which results in an amp that takes pedals really well - much better than the stock CC amps. I've also bypassed the standby switch. Comes with a Hot Covers soft cover. It's a great sounding amp and I gigged with it for 3 solid years without it giving me any trouble. Looking for
  5. -Sold- This is a "Studio Pro" cab so specs as on this page; http://www.zillacabs.com/2x12_cabs.php. The speakers are a V30 and G12H30, in series for 16 ohms, and the back can either be closed or open back. I'd love to keep the cab but an unexpected car repair has set me back a bit. Great sound, plenty of girth for a 2x12 and in my opinion it looks lovely. I've used this for a few gigs but it's pretty much mint. Comes with a "hot covers" slip on soft cover for protection.
  6. I tried a vintage AC30 and thought it to be completely meh. Horses for courses I guess. Thing is by this point they all sound different. If it's still working the chances are it's had so many parts replaced or repaired and when you couple that the natural drifting of component values and the way different speakers age, valves sounding different... one amp could be a ratty sounding dog and another could be totally sweet sounding. Personally if I had one I'd want to gig with it so I'd need two or three and a tech to keep them running.
  7. For sale: 3 Tayden sonic diffusers/ treble dispersers. Much like the Weber beam blocker, these send treble out to the sides and stop the trebly beam of death/ muddy off axis sound that is the bane of many gigging guitarists. I had these fitted to my AC30 2x12 and 1x12, and they do sound great if you want your amps to fill the room with good guitar tone. I tend to be miked up all the time, so it's not as important to me. They're
  8. Sorry this is a little off topic, but have either of you two up there ^ seen the making of the Joshua Tree documentary? There's a few clips on you tube. I found it interesting watching Danny Lanois and Bono sitting at the console, talking about "I Still Haven't Found..." Usually Bono is, shall we say, vocal about everything. But he seemed really meek next to Daniel Lanois, almost like he was sitting next to a teacher or something. It's clear that Lanois commands a lot of respect in person. As for what I'm weak at, well I wouldn't say I'm strong at any particular aspect, But I'd say getting great source tones is probably where I feel weakest at. That, and mic placement. Especially with drum kits, I've never even got close to where I'm happy with a kit recording.
  9. but... only a small minority of people listen to recorded music on speakers in the middle of fields?
