Hi, Are there any instructions or tutorials for getting the PC Tool to work with a Windows PC. Setting up the physical connection isn't covered in the manual. Separately, does the PC Tool indicate whether the module is running off its internal antenna or an external antenna, and/or indicate...

Hi, Just got my ID:Core Beam on Friday and while I am happy with the overall performance of that little magic box, there is one thing that bothers me. The moment I plug a guitar cable into the Beam, I get a continuous static background noise. It somehow sounds a bit like 1/f noise. It is too...

Hi, I recently installed Raspbian on an old PC using a new HD and it worked nicely. Now I would like to do it with the same PC but using a hardrive that was previously used to boot windows and store user files. I intend to remove the windows OS and application directories, but would like to...

Hi, The guitar is hitting random notes while i'm not even touching the strum bar. I did the switch replacement fix posted on the front page a few months back and while it made the strum clicking more responsive, it has not eliminated the errant strums. I plan to open up the guitar and poke...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to play any Tokai guitars? I am tempted to pick up one of the lower priced models if they are good enough. I prefer unused over something chipped and rusted from sweat. If I saw something in exceptional condition at a decent price (under $1000) I'd...

Hi, Recently tried using my amp after maybe a week or two of not using it and im getting a weird problem with it not working. the power supply is fine and not the issue as i see the blue light is on, but there is absolutely no tone coming through the amp. however, the tap button is flashing...

Hi, I have an electric guitar track recorded dry and direct, line in into the mac via a unity gain tube buffer, with the intention of re-amping. It's fine, sounds as expected. Directing it to a channel in my Behringer UMC404HD interface, via the Logic I/O plugin, to then send out to the guitar...

Hi, I've been looking around the forums what I should look into for a Performance Laptop/PC but I only see people posting their setup and asking what is good and what isn't. My question is more focused where I need to look at. I know SSD is a must have, but what about RAM, CPU etc etc? Does a...

Hi, I was thinking today about a pair of FBT Verve 12M PA speakers I bought around 5 years ago. Shortly after buying them, the band I was playing in split up and I have not gigged since. So they have sat unused for 4-5 years. I similarly have some mics and some outboard gear which has not been...

Hi, I've two Japanese made Electric guitars from the 70's and 80's (so hard to date exactly) and both have been absolutely fantastic. I also have a number of Acoustics Guitars from a similar vintage (ibanez, Kasuga, Aria, Hayakawa and Takeharu) have to say they are great as well. But focusing...

Hi, Ok, I have had a bit of trouble finding the information I need.. how do you tell if an audio amplifier has enough power to drive speakers? In other words, what is the relationship between watts/channel, efficiency in dB of the speakers, and the impedence of the speakers? Hell, what does the...

Hi, I'm new to this sub, and thought I'd pose a question to all of you. I'm considering buying a 1978 Greco LP Custom "black beauty". It's a 2 Pickup model. The thing is I know nothing about this guitar other than what has been posted about in the classifieds. I was hoping you guys could help...
