: does it need a mixer for pc recording? any suggestion on mic and setup?

No, it has an onboard 0r2 mixer!!!!!! Why would you need a mic ? If it's to record your amp use the headphones or line out. However the sw1000xg has a fantastic range of distortions & amp sims, from tube to combo & stack, plus eq's & more importantly an accurate compression tool. If it's for vocals just use the xg. Hope it helps. Phil. Ps this is a great piece of kit

: does zoom 505 good enought to simulate amps and give warm distortion (pro stantard...recording..live..etc)?

Not sure about 505
I have 505 II and can get good sound through headphones on the modded Marshall, Mesa and Peavey ..fender also to some extent.
Good enough for recording, super with pedal in front ( TS5 or XXL)
don't like at all the other disto module sounds (rythm, od, dist, blues, lead, metal)
Modulation effects are from satisfactory to good.

drawbacks with Zoom505II imho:
- you can't have delay and reverb together (very bad)
- delay is too short (370 msec.)
- delay is ping - ponged form left to right if you are in stereo (awful)
- needs lots of tweaking to get good sound ( but you can get good sounds = tone)
this is all what i can say so far
it's not POD of course, but i have Pod as well and to some extent zoom505II has its strenghts over POD( price at first)
my suggestion : try it thoroughly , don't stick to the default patches , they sound horrible at least through headphones
if 505 misses the amp models better look for a 505II in my opinion, cause that's what makes it for the 505II.
good luck

: Here you go: What's your favorite band? Do you want to play like them? What do they use? What can you spend? Start with the general questions and get specific, then you should have an idea of what your choices are.

G,

What you should do is figure out how much you can afford, and then find someone in your area that knows about guitars, and have him/her go with you to the music store, to make sure you get something worth the money. You should be able to get a pretty good acoustic for $400 or more....look at the Alvarez Yairi models, they have nice necks and a pretty good sound.

Good luck

Do you still have the Fleta guitar? Let me know. Thanks.

: I am interested in selling my Fleta guitar, one of the master's editions from 1964. It is in excellent condition and needs playing. The quality of the sound is supreme. Anyone interested?

: I have a marshall vs412 cabinet and want a good rock/classic rock tone. Found a deal on the net for a jcm 900 100 watts. WIll they sound alright together or will it damge the head or cab? please help, thanx will

I've never tried something like that before, but as long as the impedence matches between the head and cabinet, it should work just fine. If I'm not mistaken, the VS Cabinets are a little smaller than the standard types of Marshalls, but that should be about the only difference.

Hi,

A little more info would help. Is it a Black Face? What is the serial #? Does it still have the tube chart on it? If so, what #'s are on this? There should be 2 letters stamped on the tube chart. This will indicate what year it is. Does it have the original speakers? If so what is the # on the speaker?

At Guitar Center, there are specials on acoustic guitars with pickups. I have a Fender DG20CE which i originally bought for $579.99, but now the price droped $230 at a final cost for $349.00 due to a special on equipment. This is a big drop for an expensive guitar, I have also seen a similar Fender Guitar with pickups for with a price tag of $299(originally $469)in their recent catalog.

: IT ON A NORMAL RECORDER ? WHATS UP WITH THAT ??

that goes for any multi track recorder......if your using allfour tracks then only two will play......because the other two are on the flip side of the tape.......and if you flip it youll hear those two in reverse.......if you only use two tracks then youll hear it all.......now to the speed thing ......multitrackers record at twice the speed....for better fidelity..... so it plays back at half the speed if on a normal cassette deck......but there is a way......because even my lowly 424mkII has a switch that allows you to record at high or low speed and the low one is normal cassette speed.....Im sure that the newer model allows the same thing

Buy the best amp you can. Cheap amps sound cheap, even with a decent pedal. Try some amps out at the store in your price range. Good luck
