Re: Best tuner for intonation?

I needed a pedal tuner for the new board and I've become very accustomed to the Turbotuner. I couldn't go back to a "normal" tuner like a TU-3. Today I swallowed the cost and bought a Petersen Strobostomp HD, plus a Stroboclip HD for the acoustic and for when I don't have an amp fired up. Early days...

Re: Cable Capacitance

A great overview, thanks! Cables and connectors also have other properties to be aware of. Capacitance (in "Farads") is part of the bigger picture of LCR: L=inductance, in "Henrys" C=capacitance in "Farads" R=resistance in "Ohms" Plus the percentage shield coverage is an important indicator of how r...

Re: New amp day

WOW! $24 is the used price for a horrible Fender Frontman 10G. Have always liked the Cube 15, it doesn't sound nearly as small and harsh as other amps in that 15W/1x8" configuration. The COSM dirts cover a LOT of ground! Agree it is a quite servicable amp! This one is early - no COSM, all done with...

Ah, nice! This is the very first Cube series, right? These were very innovative back then. I really liked the Cube-15. It's a perfect bedroom amp.
Looks like January 2004 from the serial. For a 20 year old amp, the condition is, almost literally, unbelievable.

New amp day

Picked this up yesterday at the local thrift store for USD$24. Absolutely unmarked, still with front label. Works perfectly.

This will be my new workshop amp.

Re: NPD EQ-200

I've had GE-7, GE-7B, GE-6, MXR 10 band EQ, Boss GE-10, and a Chinese (Caline) 10 band EQ that is a similar to the MXR 10 band EQ.

The EQ-200 "eats them all for breakfast". Tone/sound quality and flexibility. So much so, I'm on the lookout for another one.

Re: NPD EQ-200

HNPD, Laurie! What made you opt for the EQ-200 over a GE-7? Was it the greater tweakability with the 10 band EQ, extra functionality (presets, midi control etc), something else? 10 band and presets. I have an EHX B9 that likes a specific EQ curve and level to work properly, and those settings don't...

NPD EQ-200

Bought an EQ-200 today. Was hoping it would be "good". It is excellent.
