Ask Ormsby / Cracked Top on my Martin Acoustic
« on: October 13, 2010, 01:34:00 AM »
I have a small crack on the spruce top of my Martin DX1R Acoustic.  Its between the tailpiece and the nut, where the two top spruce pieces join, and its about 1/2 mm wide.  It only rears its ugly head when it gets hot and dry, when its humid it seals back up again.

Now this guitar is a bit of a warhorse, its never been in a case in its life and I carry it around with me all over the place, sit under trees playing, etc.  Its not like I'm particularly precious about its looks, just the sound.  My question is twofold :

How hard is it to fix?

Is it likely to get worse (and be really bad) if I just ignore it?

Because at the moment it doesn't really bother me, but if its going to be really bad long term, I'll get it fixed.  It doesn't seem to be affecting the tone at all, sounds great as usual.

Sound Advice / Studio Monitor Recommendations
« on: August 09, 2010, 02:20:44 AM »
I'm looking to buy a pair of studio monitors so I can stop mixing with headphones.  The room is small, 2.2m square with a strangely shaped roof.  Not ideal but its all I've got to work with.  If anyone has experience with small monitors, let me know if you have some recommendations.  Looking in the sub -$1k range.  I would prefer active monitors with a full range so I don't need a sub.

Sound Advice / Getting an Industrial Guitar Sound
« on: August 05, 2010, 07:23:42 PM »
I'm not really sure where to start but this is what I'm thinking : scoop out the midrange and use a noise gate.

Any other ideas?

I'm running a JEM 7VWH through a Line 6 Spider Valve 112, stock DiMarzio EVO's.

Trying to get a sound somewhat like Rammstein, NIN, etc for a couple of recordings I'm doing.

Any hardware/software ideas you might have would be most welcome!

Ask Ormsby / I just broke the volume pot on my JEM 7V
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:35:05 PM »
I somehow managed to hit the volume knob too hard with my right hand unintentionally while playing.  I immediately lost all sound from the guitar and I can feel that the volume pot has come loose inside. 

I imagine that in order to fix it I will:

1)  Loosen off the strings

2)  Unscrew and remove the scratchplate

3)  Put the volume pot back in place and probably re-solder one of the wires which has come loose

4)  Put it all back together and swear at the Floyd-Rose for a few hours while I try to get it all back in tune

I would rather take it in to get fixed but as I live 150km out of Perth I don't really have time at the moment.  Am I on the right track?  Is it likely I will be able to fix it myself or should I just bite the bullet and take it in?  The very last thing I want to do is fuck up this guitar.

Ask Ormsby / Smooth as Silk Lead Tone
« on: May 25, 2009, 04:40:43 AM »
Hi Everyone.

I'm having trouble getting a lead tone that I'm happy with.  What I'm after is a very smooth legato style tone with tons of sustain (think Steve Vai - For the Love of God).

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what sort of effects or amp settings I could use to get close to this?  (I'm thinking some form of compression pedal + delay + maybe something like a tube screamer?)

What I'm coming up with at the moment just seems a bit too crunchy and not smooth enough.

Its for low volume home use mostly, I dont gig on guitar at the moment (thats what my Irish Fiddle is for :P )

I'm going through a 40w Line 6 Spider Valve 112 (the Bogner designed tube amp) and playing a JEM 7VWH (DiMarzio Evolutions Neck and Bridge).

Any help would be appreciated.
