huh. I just read a good amount of his site, and couldn't find anything about providing those older pedals with the right source impedance. I'd be interested in reading about it if you have a link to an article about this problem. I know many people have had problems with older fuzzes, the Fuzz Face ...

I thought Pete Cornish advised guitarists to use buffers!

If you have a boss pedal (some non-true bypass) around maybe the tuner, try putting it between the Foxx and the DI. My hope is that there is a buffer in the boss pedal which will prevent the signal from passing back through the di. The additional pedal need not have the effect active. This is just a ...

that was my point. sometimes have a little of the di on top of the mic is helpful, but usually I'm inclined to give musicians all the rope they need to do with as they please. the good ones make out fine....

If the band seems like they've played more than 10 shows in their career, the bass player is usually flattered that somebody wants to mic their bass amp. And then I don't mix ...

I was going to get the 609, but the guy at sennheiser convinced me that the 606 was true to the original 409 (wich i seriously doubt ...

I don't know what the problem is, but I've had the same thing happen with all three of the 319's that I have.

Have you noticed it happens in particular situations? I was at one presumably reputable club with an isolating split snake, and neither my 219's worked nor another guy's 414s! All the ...

I do live sound for a band, and I find that in certain venues I have problems with my 219s - It sounds like they aren't getting a high enough voltage or something. When I have this issue the mics produces a clipped gated sound. It happens on maybe 1 out of 7 systems, so i don't think its strictly a ...
