Well spotted Drew, consider it done.

Well that sounds like an improvement

+1 for the Aria TA series going back 40+ years.

An awful lot of guitar for very little money. Criminally underrated guitars.

Andy

Is sustain supposed to be either on or off rather than variable?

If that is the case, everything is working correctly.

Of course, I avoid State run media like the BBC at pretty much any cost The BBC is most definitely NOT State Run. Much to the annoyance of petty much every UK Government of the last 100 years. It would appear that you have been misinformed by the media funded by commercial interests. Andy :beamup:

Unfortunately, the quiz master used be be a member of my team so he knows to avoid my specialist subject. And when there is a picture round, 9 times out of 10 the guy with a guitar in a photo is Eric Clapton.

Turning by 90 degrees gives you solid walls each side to mount treatment and control reflections. You could do it the other way, but it might be difficult to get such a good stereo image. But no harm trying it, as long as you can put up a suitable panel on the side with the glass. Maybe mounting one ...

Already done Dave. It bugger's up the links but so what

Thanks Mark, really useful.

Well done, glad you got it all sorted

I think we only need to be concerned when the forum starts bumping posts that haven't been written yet.

Andy

Maybe all the old posts are being resurrected by the ghost of forum past? When you consider the number of revisions the forum has experienced, there's a lot to be said for the Ghost of Forums Past. :angel: That 20/20 power amp has been high on my wish list for over a decade, it really is a very ...

WEIRD!!! I've just returned from New Year's Eve in the pub to discover that this post has been bumped. And despite what it says, it wasn't by me. When Eddy's posts had the same problem we established that the bump feature hasn't been activated. And the rack still hasn't been fired up and still needs ...

It's been a long while since I fired up the rack in anger Steve, but I do recall something similar to what you describe. It's predictable with the power amp flat out, and with it ticking over gently with the Masters turned down low. But in between it can be quite sensitive when juggling channels. I ...

Just avoid careless whispers...

Now where's my coat?

I've had a few listens to the intro and the Chet Atkins SST is probably a cause of confusion. It was designed as an acoustic style guitar that you could use on stage plugged in without the problems of feedback. But many players treated it like an alternative electric guitar that you could plug into ...

Thanks Wonks,

That sounds like great day out

It might be worth getting a quote for getting them all sand blasted to bare metal and then black powder coated. There's probably a matt finish option as well. Certainly worth having the conversation with a firm of metal finishers to discuss the pros and cons. And it's certainly a very durable finish ...

Logic has all the tools you need freely available on demand.

You probably don't have problem vocalists. Most likely, you have vocalists whose power or tone exposes the weaknesses I the physical space you are trying to use.
