hey man if you havent tried one yet...

i would suggest a spider valve...

most of the veterans on here are probably gonna be like, "NO KODY NOOOO"

but spidervalves are my favorite amp period.

once again as everyone says its up to your ear so try one out and see if you like it.

their pretty much a spider 3 except with a LOT more balls, and better metal distortion.

most notably gollum has some really legit reasons to be against spider valves.

pretty much my only suggestion against spider valves is stay away from spider 4's, i mean try em out they might be perfect for you, but in my opinion they kinda took a step back in a bad way.

anyone here ever used drumagog?

alright...so i went from one problem to another, what of it?

i got my m-audio box working, now on to drumagog.

i wrote in my other post that im gonna be mapping out the drums in fruity loops and exporting them to adobe, but now to make them sound real or close to it using drumagog?

i really have no idea. i tried messing with plugins, i read on the internet that it was a vst plugin and that the person should try and look for an option in their software, im not seeing it anywhere in adobe.

if anybody has any experience with drumagog/adobe audition, if you could help me out it would be so awesome, I JUST WANNA START RECORDING!!!! JEEZE!!!

lol thanks, yeah i tried calling the m-audio tech support ad theres no answer, as far as adobe tech support theres not even a number to call, ill update you on how things are going, hopefully it gets better, thanks for the quick reply

hey guys, its been a while,good to talk to you guys again :D

i figured out a way for me to record REALLY simply, i use fruity loops and my drummer maps out all his drum hits, then i use drumagog to take away the robo drum feel.

to record guitar bass and vocals i was trying to get the cheapest usb interface with xlr, and 1/4 inch inputs.

so i got home last night and i was all KINDS of excited havin a new toy and whatnot, i install the driver software, hook it up, run the line out of my line 6 to the fast track box, a cable out of the headphone jack for monitering out to my stereo.


now im getting sound through my stereo, so im getting sound in and out of the fast track box, but when i open adobe audition and play something the levels in adobe dont move whatsoever.

it seems like adobe doesnt know where its supposed to be getting the sound from, i set the ins and outs in the adobe audio hardware settings to be the m-audio box but still, nothin, im starting to wonder if the m-audio box just doesnt work with adobe audtion?

anyways if thats the case then i have no problem switching as long as theres an equal or better software out there for around the same price, im not really down with the whole pro tools thing so i think thats my only preference.


sorry about the essay guys im just super frustrated, i was messin with it for so long last night, no success whatsoever, thanks for your help in advance.

so my friend has an ltd (m-1000) and he has a ground wire, he has active emgs 81 in the bridge 81 in the neck.

and my other friend just got an ltd (mh-1000) active emgs 81 in the bridge 85 in the neck, but the mh-1000 doesnt have a ground wire, there HAS to be a ground wire yes?

i mean theres a ground wire on all the other schematics ive seen, the reason i ask is cuz there was something wrong with the mh-1000 and the bassist in my two buddys' band redid all the wiring for the mh-1000 and he SWEARS that emgs are internally grounded, but if thats the case why does the m-1000 have a ground wire?

yeah...i found this website that has templates so you can do exactly what im trying to do

would it be at all possible to install a trem on my bc rich?

nice man, did you buy the body or did you sculpt it out of a chunk of wood?

yeah i looked around on there too, he said its a vintage amp from the 70's or so...

its a 1x15 combo if that helps.

im just wondering because that hughes and kettner ive had for around two years was his, so hes pretty much just giving me that amp cuz he said he feels bad for just leavin me without an amp.

works for me...

after i get it ill take some pictures and see if you guys know what it is.
thanks for the reply mike!
