hey guys, I'm currently using a toneport gx and amplitube software for practice/recording on my laptop. works great but I'd like to be able to control the wah and whammy effects with an expression pedal. What are my options here ? Is it as simple as connecting my guitar through one of these behringer pedals ? And if not how do I go about connecting something like the full sized fcb1010...

Hi folks, just found this thread. I'm Steve from Musician Inc and I'll clear it all up for you. After 20 years of trading, we're expanding the store. 27 Drury St will be sold and number 26 will reopen as X-Music. We will also have a 23,000 square ft super store out at the Redcow. Fear not, it's only about 20 mins out of town on the Luas and extremely handy if on the M50 (we also have plenty ...

If you really want to sound proof a room and you have a bit of cash you have to build a room inside a room with a ply or MDF on both sides of the stud and rockwool or some sort of sound proofing material between the sheets. Also a door that opens the inner room. The inner room also has to be elevated and not touching any of the walls in outer the room. To elevate it you need to lay a stud type...

Bass Amp around 300 euro? Loud, very very loud... A fender rumble on full blast isn't quite loud enough so a little more then that... Any suggestions?

Lets make like kids and use our imagination lads. I've just won the Lotto, and being the incredibly generous soul I am I've given ye all €5000 each, on the provision that it's spent only on instruments or anything that will benefit you and/or your band. So it could be a new guitar(s), lessons, a new PA system for your band or a trip to a recording studio, new lighting/smoke machine/lasershow ...
