The Whatever Thread .. For Gear!!

After nearly purchasing several amps, the Mrs and I decided this isn't the time to buy a new amp, especially when it would be admittedly just "good enough to scratch an itch" and not something really awesome. Question is, is it worth getting a radial splitter or something like that to run my Micro Terror and Fender Frontman together? Both are pretty close to the tones I want, Micro a little too dirty and Fender a little too clean. They might be awesome together, just a bummer that it takes an $90 pedal to try it out.

Definitely try that, but instead of a Radial I'd suggest any cheap Ibanez 10-series pedal with a stereo out.

I tried using my TC Alter Ego which has stereo outs but the hum was crazy. Don't I need the ground lift options and junk like that to make it all quiet?

[frodog]

Maybe? I've never had that problem, and the TC10 I use as a stereo split is powered by daisy chain.

omfg guys, I'm really considering buying modular synths for a couple weeks now. I was kinda disappointed by Youtube demos and videos of modular synths, SINCE NOW ! holy shit have you guys watched ''r beny's '' videos !? They're amazing! I'm buying a Mother32 (and more stuff later) as soon as I sell my DRRI (and buy a vox)!

It might be something that depends on everything, like quality of wiring in the walls, amps being used, effects beforehand, stuff like that. Either way I need something other than the TC to do the splitting, but I will take your advice and do it

JTurbide--yeah, absolutely--he posts on muffwiggler--it's impressive to me how seamless his stuff is whether electribe, eurorack, what have you, he always sounds like himself, and he's got a great sense of pacing and architecture w/in his ambient sphere. I'm sure he's sold many a Rings by now.

[Dandolin]

PeteeBee--the Radial box *is* very nice, but I bet the EHX Switchblade Plus--44.50 USD....

He's also "austinthecairns" on Instagram. His sounds are so so good.

Yup, just started following him.

I would recommend thereisonlyfuzz on IG as well. He incorporates guitar, lapsteel and bass with modular. Very interesting!

You could also use the Boss LS-2, or a Boss CEB-3 (chorus with 2 outs, one can be clean and one will be effected, a little bit of chorus will give you the illusion of separation). There are tons of other cheap pedals with dual outs. They are everywhere.

Has anyone ever messed with one of these Monoprice amps?

I got the 5 watt.
It sounds pretty good. I don't think I like the speaker.
I read a lot of reviews of the screws pulling out of the baffle and the finish being messed up. Mine's fine, though. Maybe even a little sturdier than I expected.

[Dandolin]

That thing is hawt.
