    Any Love For The Salvation Legend?

    I'm considering adding a Salvation Legend to my RM4 stable for lead work. My band plays classic rock covers such as Steely Dan, Police, Cars, Peter Gabriel. No metal so I'm NOT looking for a heavy overdrive sound. Will the Legend be a good fit for lead work? Thanks for your input.

    Front Panel (Grey) Channel Selector Button, Your MIDI Friend

    I just bought a backup RM4 and, for a while, I was buffalo'd because I couldn't select channel 4 with my MIDI foot-pedal. Channels 1 through 3 were working fine but channel 4 would not activate. Then I remembered the front panel channel selector button. It's not there just to select channels...

    I'm working on an article for our local newspaper. There are many musical venues in our town and most of them book the same dreadful bands or singer-songwriters week after week. So I'm putting together the 10 worst reasons why you should avoid some of the venues. Here's what I've got so far...

    Replacing RM4 Jack Sockets

    About every couple of months, I have to clean the contacts on one or two of the jack sockets on my RM4. Can anyone suggest a better quality jack socket to replace these? The sockets are TRS types and have 3 contacts along each side. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Graham

    Improving a Guitar's "Tone" Control

    The tone knob on my favorite guitar is very sensitive. The tone changes radically from full off (0) to about 3, and from 3 to full on (10) it hardly changes at all. I'm assuming the tone pot has a logarithmic taper. Here's my question. How can I improve the control so the tone is more...

    PSA: Buyers Beware

    There's a Blackface module for sale on eBay right now (April 3, 2013), but the pictures are of 2 different modules, one with plain silver face and one with a black stripe.

    Every Friday evening, our band "Spare Parts" plays at the Y.O. Hotel in Kerrville (Texas). Sometimes, the place is packed wall-to-wall. Sometimes, we draw only ten people. We never know what to expect. Last night, a bunch of guys walked in, all wearing black. I knew we were in trouble. So...

    WHAT MAKES FOR A GOOD OVERDRIVE PEDAL?

    There are hundreds of Overdrive pedals out there. Some are described as "warm" or "creamy". Some rely on transistors and some rely on diodes to impart this warmth and creaminess. So, in your opinion, which gives the "better" overdrive, a transistor or a diode? Are certain transistors or...

    A Message of Healing

    I'm passing this on because it worked for me yesterday. A doctor on TV said that in order to have inner peace in our lives after this election, we should always finish things that we start. Since we all could use more calm in our lives, I looked around my house to find things I'd started &...
