Featured Some Guitar Players, Lovers, Addicts?

Cool pictures, thanks for sharing @andyc1
If I go for one of these, will definitively be a turret board type.
Ideally a kind of Orange Tiny terror hardwired. I love the orange mid-scope sound
I admit being a bit afraid about the safety.

I've been shocked once while playing an outdoor gig. In an excess of enthusiasm I jumped from the stage on the grass floor and I've been shocked through the jack cable and strings
The tech told about a mass loop from the ground.
Nothing lethal, just like I've put 2 or 3 9V battery on my tongue

 

Impressive stable!!
Tried all sorts of amps, and finally found my path with a chinese made TH100. Why? Because it's the only head I found capable of crystal clear clean sound, and high gain fury. I preferred that one to the more expensive OR.
But the overall built quality is far better on the OR serie than the TH..
When the Dual Dark 100 went out, I tried it and the TH100 still had this extra clean.

For studio use, I plug the amp through a RF/EM filter to reduce hum. Also had to carefully select quiet preamp valve/tube.

 

They are. In a soundgarden tribute project, I play drop D. and through a good 4X12 the bass response is tight and powerful. I also play A 7 string with a B string, and it's very good.
The limits often comes more from the speakers that the head.

 

What do you want to record? A 4 pieces band for example?
If you want to record drums, then you'll need A input minimum into the audio interface.
Then some decent set of mics, 1 large diaphragm. for voices and amps, a set of hypercardiod for acoustic guitars/overhead.
I personally don't like to use SM57 or 58 for recordings, but a SM57 can be used on amps.
That is the minimum. Then if you want to go further, consider some mic preamps, but some very good results can be achieved without, so far you know how your mic react.

A set of monitors, and some decent and comfortable headset . Nowadays to need to break the bank to achieve nice home studio recordings.
I'm thinking about mics around 100£ and 40£ headsets.

I'm a bit overflyng, if you have specific question I can try to help.

 

I started buying mics. The first one was an AKG C3000B. Good for almost everything (vocals , amp) , Then a set of hypercardioid for acoustic guitars or other acoustic instrument. A good allrounder mic is the place to start with.

Then I will in a second time go for a better audio interface. I have several (MOTU, FOCUSRITE, STEINBERG/YAMAHA). My son uses the home studio a lot for his projects and music school, and he prefers the Focusrite Scarlett (8 input) because of the easy display gain control and ease of use.

 

I like the steampunk look you all have Are you the one in the middle ?(singer is usually there).
