I thought the purpose was allowing the signal to be strong.

I don't know everything I suppose :/

Sounds good. Let me know if you want to know of some places to check out in Boston.

I've been done with school for about 2 weeks. Back in Maryland....missing Boston and my niggaz at Boston U....yea I have more friends at BU than Berklee...

tona_107 wrote on Apr 20th, 2009 at 10:30am : yeah I love classical music but I can't say I would be interested or talented enough to pursue a composition course...and yeah that sounds intense man, but you're probably learning a lot. Is composition your true interest or do you see it as a tool for your own music? I study science at University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario if you know where that is. I figure you're a notherner so you might. Yeah it was more of asking whether or not you lived in Boston before going to Berklee, or if you just moved there for school,

I study composition for both reasons... I want to be a classical concert composer. But I will use what I learn for other styles too. I'm from Maryland, but I love Boston. It's one of the reasons why I chose to go to school here. How's U of WO?

tona_107 wrote on Apr 19th, 2009 at 5:35pm : ah that's awesome man I wish I could be as enthusiastic about my school. Well It's o.k., like I like it but, it would definitely be a lot cooler to be at Berklee taking composition; then again I probably couldn't hack it ha. I think I'm just whining cause I'm smack dab in the middle of exams, one down, four to go, done the 29th. Are you living in Boston during the summer?

What school are you going to? What are you studying?

Yea, composition is a lot of work. Throughout the major, not only do you have to write the music, you have to also form the ensemble to perform it, and then work out a deal to have it professionally recorded. But it has definitely increased my appreciation for classical music tenfold.

I won't be in Boston during the summer... are you planning on coming here?

looool fairy

School is going okay for me. This semester was kind of so-so. I have a few basic classes that I think is just a waste of time and money because they don't take a whole semester nor a teacher to help me learn. But I've learned some great stuff in more advanced classes. Not in exams yet but that's coming up soon. How about you?

No problem man...

What you can do is take an eq pedal or volume pedal and drop it into the effects loop of you amp. Set the volume/level/gain sliders or so on all the way down. Then set your amp volume to about 6. You level sliders or so forth is your new volume knob in a since. This will allow you to push the preamp tubes harder and catching that volume before it gets to the power amp. Its a really good trick if you play at low volumes. Now its not gonna give ya power tube saturation think classic rock this is more towards preamp level and gain thing modern metal.


Hope that helps.

The link doesn't work for some reason. But I would be happy to help, what was your question?

Well, I find that you can get the tone of the Russian with the USA Muff, but the Russian doesn't have as much output as the USA. And with tone wicker, you get even more punch. I am GASing hard for a Tone Wicker Muff, honestly.

But, if you want to go more expensive, I'd recommend something like an Earthquaker Hoof Fuzz or a Barber Trifecta.

It took me like an hour to figure out how to put the first tube in haha, it was pretty hilarious I have to admit....off topic but, on the JJ's, I forget which circuit those are for, but, is it normal that I could move them like side to side a bit in their holes? I figure if I could get the case on over them, then it's probably on good enough... Good assumption? Alsoo did you amp have zero volume when gain was on zero? just wondering because I like to play completely clean... And did yours have a noisy treble EQ? I accidentally wrote that on my wall first haha.

The tubes will wiggle a bit, it's no biggie. As for the noisy treble, that's pretty much any high gain amp, crank the gain and treble and it'll get noisy.

I read your thread on splitting signals.

I don't know about plugging in an acoustic. I just have a crap acoustic with no electronics so I couldn't tell ya.

tona_107 wrote on Nov 28th, 2008 at 6:25pm : Sorry for asking you so many questions... but I figure I'll be happy with either... so I'll ask you if you ever plugged an acoustic in, and if it sounded better before or after the speaker swap?

I don't own one, so no. The clean channel sounded very nice with both speakers so I think you'll be satisfied there with either one.

Don't worry about it, I don't mind answering
