The link I posted at the end of this thread is a good reference. I'm afraid that thread doesn't have such sexy diagrams as this one, but I'm pretty sure M-S hasn't changed in six years.

It makes "sense" to want to flip the polarity on the batter head mic, but if you think about it, most of the other mics on the kit are picking up the kick drum from the batter side. So, are you going to flip the polarity of the overheads if they are on the batter side of the kick drum? If you use th...

We've had some ongoing noise issues in the studio that we've been trying to work out. The anchoring components of our studio are: A Soundcraft 800C 16x8, RME Fireface 800 with 8 channels fed through ADAT optical from a Motu 828mkii for A/D and an ADC 96pt TT patchbay with punchdown and normals out. ...

There may be some correlation with how bored I am with the part I'm playing. Also, if I'm trying to go all super fast, my heel is down. Whe...

A silly question, but have you tried using the matrix to switch L/R to isolate a driver/firmware issue from the physical output connectors and wiring? Not sure that will make any difference, but probably worth trying. Also try swapping the output connectors to see if your wiring is just bad? Also, h...

There is a wattage switch? I'm guessing it's a mod for a pentode/triode switch. You'd certainly get more clean volume in pentode mode. Also, I have my YBA-3 modded for 6550's, which gives more headroom, but I don't think it sounds quite as nice for guitar as the EL-34's (I use(d) mine for bass mostl...

I'm still getting the hang of mine. Do you take yours off the heat as soon as it starts to percolate and let the remaining pressure do the work? Or do you keep it on the heat longer? I've spent quite a bit of time honing my moka pot skills. Here is my technique to get the most espresso-like concoct...
