Matt needs a mic.

If I sell this and grab an Engl for a bit less I will use some of the extra funds towards finally buying a mic. Long overdue, right?

Perhaps that new mic that Metal Ken just picked up?

From his description it sounds pretty sweet and not too expensive which is always a plus.

Nevermind, the post this was a reply to was deleted

Nice thread clean

Anyways, Matt just pick up an SM57 and a preamp/computer audio interface... probably run you about $300 total depending on what you buy.

Sweet, thanks for the advice Steve!

Any suggestions on specific preamp/computer audio interfaces to look into?

I know almost nothing about that stuff.

I have a 60 watt 2x12 in my dorm room

talk about overkill

Matt I'd give it a go with an attenuator, you never know until you try it.

Well, I'm on a Mac so hardware recomendations are iffy, but I love the Alesis Firewire mixer I have. I think the USB 8 channel one is in the $150 range and has the added advantage of functioning as a normal 8 channel mixer as well. It will also let you run multiple mics at the same time on different channels if you ever want to get into that

I think Reaper is supposed to be pretty good and free package for recording on Windows, I know the cross platform effects system it grew out of, Jesus Sonic, was pretty cool.

Take this with a grain of salt as I don't have a mic yet myself, I just know computers and software

Yeah I'm trying to contact Dave to set up a time (maybe this weekend?) to meet up and test it through his hot plate.

Might be worth keeping, I'm just not sure how much it will squish the OD's gain tone.

Karl Hungus · 11-10-2007, 11:22 PM

Pity about this fellow not working out.

Yeah, I can see how you'd be spoiled by the Engl's volume friendliness. Maybe you should've hung onto the SE?

Negatory sir, I definitely dig the Invader more than the SE personally.

Both good amps, but I think the Invader edges out the SE in the mid-gain tones myself.

Karl Hungus · 11-11-2007, 12:00 AM

Ah well, here's hoping you get the Invader for a good price so.

Drew · 11-11-2007, 01:27 AM

Grab a SM57, Matt. The way you go through top-dollar amps, you can easily justify the $80 or so. That, a 2" stand, a cable, and an XLR-1/8" adaptor will let you make recordings through your sound card, but for better results you're going to want to eventually upgrade to a proper audio interface.

Instead of a Hot Plate, try a Leash.

I shall look into the total cost of something like that Drew, thanks!

I'm trying not to spend much right now (unless I sell this and buy an Invader with those funds) so I can get the Sherman 7 all paid off.

Thanks for the suggestion Mike.

I haven't seen too many BadCat dealers down here so I haven't tried the Leash yet. Have you compared it to other attenuators before?

I've never had the chance to use one so I'm clueless on that piece of gear.

How about an SM57 with the TonePort I have for sale?

You could mic the cab, and run a line out into the speaker sims on the TP.

Seriously, the TonePort is a cool device, not just because I happen to be selling one.

Very useful little device! I miss mine

It died on me not too long ago.

The switchable ohm load and single dial impressed me. My friend who was with said it sounded better than the Hot Plate I tried, but I couldn't. (We were in a crowded local shop so I could really play with it for long.)

HighGain510 · 11-11-2007, 04:12 PM

The more I think about it.... I was actually pretty happy with the spidervalve (other than the fact that I couldn't crank it) so I'm thinking of doing the following:

-sell the OD100SE+
-use the funds to buy a SpiderValve HEAD when they come out in 2 weeks (the combo doesn't have a 16-ohm output

)
-run that into my Orange cab which I absolutely ....ing LOVE, one of the best purchases I've ever made (although again, I

'ed my Vader cab too, just slightly prefer this one)
-buy an attenuator to use with the Line 6, most likely a Dr. Z Airbrake (also switchable load too Mike!

) or maybe a BadCat Leash if I can find a dealer with one in stock that I can try out

Affordable rig for less than half the cost (head is $799) and since I'm not gigging right now I don't think I "need" the Invader right away.

I could use the Spider without pissing off the neighbors and the attenuator might allow me to get that power section going a bit more even in my apartment.

Sound good?

technomancer · 11-11-2007, 04:44 PM

Nice plan

Though I'd say you should buy the Weber MASS 100 Lite I'm selling

stuh84 · 11-11-2007, 04:49 PM

If you were happy with the Spidervalve, I think its a good idea, best not asking me at the moment, I have Invader GAS like a bitch

I'm almost tempted to say GET AN INVADER, but it may not be for the best.

The only thing that gets me slightly is using an attenuator on a SpiderValve, I just have this (maybe unjustified) fear, that it'll end up sound like a POD at them volumes. Guess you just have to see.

Oh yeah no doubt man, the Invader is a KILLER amp and if I could justify it to myself I would grab one in a heartbeat (guess that's kind of part of the reason I'm selling the OD100SE+... can't justify keeping it if it's staying at such low volumes!

). The spidervalve sounds pretty decent at lower volumes so that's not a problem, I was just saying that if I wanted to try it opened up a bit more in the power amp section I'd have to get an attenuator for sure to keep the peace!

ShawnFjellstad · 11-11-2007, 06:17 PM

@ selling your vader.

7 Dying Trees · 11-12-2007, 06:07 AM

So, who's queueing up to buy the spidervalve head?

The amount of amps you go through is insane man, so maybe an amp that does lots of sounds is more suited to your needs

Then buy a head for gigging and keep both

budda · 11-12-2007, 06:10 AM

matt, have you thought about a power scaling unit?

google london power scaler mebe? its not quite an attenuatory apparently, and someone was pimping them like mad at guitarists.net (a bit of an asshole, we didnt like him much haha)
