excellent point! oxygen and electricity are both crucial elements to a studio. yeah, the house was built in 1909 and so it's just entered its centennial.

Thanks a ton for all the info. Sheet rock and dry wall are the same thing? No wonder I've been confused!So it looks like the room within a room approach with green glue to bring it all together will ultimately be the best thing. It's just one room, so I imagine I can get this all done in a reasonabl...

apop, I'm very curious about what you ended up doing as far as soundproofing the shop. I'm on the verge of buying a rowhouse in DC, and I intend to use a basement room as a studio/practice space. The basement has some serious mold issues, so if I am going to end up re-doing dry wall for the sake of ...

Someone who I know sometimes plays his guitar through an Ampeg SVT bass head & then through a 4 x 10 cabinet. It sounds really good. Perhaps somewhat muffled if you're playing parts that are meant to be wirey and jagged, but excellent for what he does, which involves tons of loops that gradually...

Jerry Finn's actually still alive.

The article that circulated around perhaps wasn't as clear as it could be, but still doesn't say anything about him having passed on. He was taken off of life support, and is clearly in declining health, but at least for the moment is still with us.

so I wouldn't just run an instrument cable from aux send to DI OUT, another instrument cable from DI IN to pedal? what sort of adapter might be needed?

I notice it doesn't have adjustable attenuation settings like some others, and I wonder what the purpose or benefit of having that as a variable would be? also doesn't have the ground/lift switch, and so I also wonder if that's important for my purposes?

when you say the pedal "blew up" what exactly happened? the +/-17v of the soundcraft is the supply voltage, unless you are trying to power the board off of the soundcraft PSU, I'm not sure how this would effect it... like rodabod said, what pedal is it? when you say "as soon as it to...

Hello, I've blown up a pedal two times now by using it with my mixing board's aux send and return. It isn't an issue of overloading it with a signal- the signal was as faint as could be in the moment that I hooked the pedal up, and as soon as it touched my board, it just died. I spoke with Electro H...
