^ what's the story there? Did Chet just swap sponsors for a bit? I think Gretsch stopped making guitars for a while and Gibson picked up the slack? Ted Woodford goes into it in this video I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coXJ-Xr922I That's my guitar right there. Ted lives/works a few blocks...

My place is a conversion of the classic 2 car cinder blocks garage with a flat roof. I had the exterior walls framed, wired and then spray foamed the walls and ceiling. The wall where the doors were became a wood framed wall with windows and a door, again, spray foamed. As others have said, the bigg...

out of curiosity, how does something like this affect the speaker load. I know a lot of old tube amps are pretty sensitive to having the right load and it can damage the output transfmr if you are too far under/over load. Also, how much over/under is actually a bad idea? I used to sit my Twin Rever...

Radial JDX-48 - it’s a DI box that sits in between your speaker and your cabinet. I bought it used and never quite found a use for it with either guitar or bass - even disregarding the room, speakers are a very important component of a sound and hearing the amp on a track without a speaker was kind...

Ted lives half a KM away from me and has done work on a bunch of my guitars. It's a pretty rare amazing thing to have a master so close to home. I'm very grateful.

Hey so on that patchbay tip: would this be a good project to learn to solder on? Or maybe too complicated? This will not be a small project since my 32 channel Venice and 16 channel io is going to be the heart of the thing before outboard is even considered. I would love to not do it but tbh I’d pr...

“All buttons in” or “british mode” compressor settings - what do yall do with those? Is that just a drum thing? I have an Audioscape 1176 that does it but I’m sure plugins and other stuff does it as well. The only ‘all buttons’ use I’ve found on my comp was making a baritone guitar sit upfront but ...

I'd suggest talking to Stewart at Xaudia. He's super knowledgeable and helpful and seems to know everything about every ribbon mic ever made. He could likely point you in the right direction on your hunt for a transformer or maybe even make what you need.
