    Question about effects on Yamaha mixers

    I own a Yamaha StagePas 600i PA system. The mixer for the system comes with four on board effects, all labeled as types of reverb (Hall, Room, Plate, and Echo). In my experience echo is typically is synonymous with delay, which would be good because I'd like both reverb and delay. The thing is...

    questions about sending DAW effects to mixer for rehearsal

    When I rehearse vocals I use a PA system (specifically, powered mixer into speakers), and I will typically use the reverb effect on my mixer for my vocals. For future rehearsals I want to have the option of additionally using some effects plugins I have in my DAW (e.g., delay and chorus) for my...

    Do you really need to replace all tubes on a tube amp at the same time?

    I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue (tube) amplifier. Some months ago I replaced maybe 3-4 of the tubes because they were starting to cause issues - though I no longer remember which ones I replaced. I think I replaced them with the same tube models (though it's possible one of the...

    Question about proximity to microphone when singing live.

    When I'm practicing singing in my apartment (not for recording, just for practicing) I've realized that my mouth is always very close to the microphone - like basically as close as my mouth can be to the microphone without touching it (so close that my facial hair will sometimes touch the...

    Is reverb in the Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue analog or digital?

    Very basic question I'm realizing I've never really known the answer to. I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue. It has a "vibrato channel", which has reverb in it. I know tube amps are analog, and so my guess would be that the reverb in the amp also has an analog circuit... But I also know that...

    I'm looking for an analog delay pedal that has a max delay time of at least 1000 ms and I found the Boss DM-101. According to the website it's a totally analog circuit (has 8 BBD chips) and there are digital circuits controlling them. I checked out a few demos on YouTube, and the sound doesn't...

    Guitar sounding funky after unlikely but possible water damage

    I had a small amount of flooding in my apartment about a week ago. My guitar (fender Strat) was in its hard case. The hard case has these little metal stands on the bottom of it that elevate the rest of the case off of the ground by an inch or so. Beneath the guitar there was a little flood...

    Question about Roland Space Echo RE-20
