So does all the Altoona crowd have the same mindset as the people do here? That "that band is from out of town, so they must be better than the local bands"?

I hope I didn't come off like an asshole. I didn't mean to. No one is interested in travelling to Cumberland?

The new line 6 pod. It is the smallest in the series, but I think it has all the goods and mmuch more that you are looking for.

My entire system puts out somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500 watts. No, I did not forget a zero. :) I own a relatively low powered system, and it is mmore than enough for most small to medium clubs. Just last week, we were hired by a local restaurant to play outdoors for them. This is the system ...

I don't think you'll find too much difference between the blues driver and a screamer. They're both mid gain midrangey overdrive pedals. It would be a slightly different flavor, but probably not enough to justify spending another hundred (or more) dollars. Have you tried the HD 300 yet? /:)

I had a hell of a time figuring out how to properly set uo the voluume and wah. I don't understand why they didn't just set those two up as defaults?

I've been using line 6 gear since 2002, and I've owned literally every single floor pod theyve made. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, get the POD HD 300 at $329. I currently use the hd 500, and absolutely love it. IMO, the fpp kinda sounds like poo no matter how well it is tweaked...

Foreign Exchange Bands

Been a very long time since I've posted, and my band LADY INVIDIA is looking to broaden our horizons. We're a well established, very popular, top drawing band here in the Cummberland, MD area. However, I am under the assumption you 'Toon town folk have no clue who we are.... and I aim to fix that. W...

Xenyx 2442fx - This piece has been my main mixer for 3 years. Scratch that, it's been my only mixer. I love it!!!! Pre's are dead quiet and have pretty decent headroom. I use this to mix my own band, and for side jobs I pick up mixing for other bands. My only gripes are that I wish they made a mixer...

Deb, there's also the option of not using monitors! I'm not being a smartass, I am a recent convert to In-Ear monitors. Carvin makes an all metal system for $350, which is a hell of a sight cheaper than Shure. I LOVE THEM. I'll never go back to wedges. Additionally, now my band requires no wedges, P...

My 8 year old daughter LOVES these idiots. Of course she does, she's an 8 year old girl. Even she said to me "Daddy, they don't sound very good". I think that speaks volumes in and of itself.

Kinda hijacking here, but isn't ZZ Top the longest running band without a lineup change? I know they've been at it as ZZTop since 1968. I was thinking Rush would probably be next since '75? John Rutsey was their first drummer.

My power amp is an ancient Peavey M 2600. It has a "thru" trick on the b side input. If you only plug a mono cable in to the first click, it'll send that mono signal to both sides of the amp. Somehow, it works running a trs from the pod's HP out to the Peavey power amp's b input (plugged i...

My pod has a 1/4 trs HP out, and L+R mono 1/4 outs. Most of the time, the mixer is onstage with me. I'll run the HP to my stereo power amp(for my guitar rig) with a trs trs cable, and run the l+r outs to the 1/4 stereo ins on the mixer.

trs to xlr

I bought a trs to xlr cable to hook up my POD XT's headphone jack directly to the snake. It works, however whenever I turn on my chorus or delay it triples in volume. This cable is transformerless. Any ideas?
