Can I play through an amp head without a cab?

I play guitar in my church and I thought when I get my new halfstack I could leave the cab to church and take the head home and just use your head. Would that work?

This could walk if you have headphones plugged into his head at home.

One word describes the CD from Supercharger Machine Head … AWESOME!

This is an extremely rare day that I get a CD from an artist that I can honestly say not a bad track in the bunch. I am more than happy to announce that's exactly thata I have to say about it. It is simply a bad isnÂ'ta in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song stands on its own.

Supercharger is a very varied mix of 14 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With great songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes great listening. Apparently, the design of this I can only imagine are their own experiences of real life. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love and pain of relationships can certainly be heard.

Listen to this CD and I think youÂ'll find there is not much to say please. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you are even slightly in the rock music you'll love this album.

While the whole album is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 – Crashing Around You ", track 5 – Kick You When You're Down, and track 14 – Supercharger

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 – Declaration. Wow!

Question Triaxis Mesa Boogie preamp?

Ok, so I intend to buy one of these puppies, one day, but what else should I go with it, I can plug into a PA system? Just need to be explained in plain English lol.

You can connect a Triaxis a PA. You should use the file "out" jacks to simulate the rest of the amplifier setup that you will not if you only buy the Triaxis. So basically, the Triaxis is a preamp – it's where the majority of your tone shaping occurs – if the sound is clean, crunch or distorted etc. The preamp should normally be connected to a power amplifier, as the Mesa 20/20, 50/50 or 2:90 type, then in an enclosure. This gives you all the components of the classic tube amp. The file OUT Triaxis try to simulate the power amp and speaker of its parts – for use when registering so that you do not have to configure the amplifier together and put a microphone in front of the cabinet. It does fairly well, but this is not exactly the same as that of a real amplifier Miked. I used my Triaxis a PA and it does sound really good. You should not use the normal output, use the record outputs. Not only for tonal reasons I explained above, but because the normal output signal is very powerful and will burn the PA channel you plug it in, unless you are very observant. The new CDs are also very powerful, so it's a good idea to lower the master volume on the Triaxis, then reduce the gain channel on your AP. I think to get the best of Triaxis, you better have a guitar amp and speaker power because they add real character to the sound. Using a PA, you replace amp power of the PA speakers and the guitar amplifier and speaker. The other thing is that with a configuration of AP, you still need to install a loudspeaker directed at you so you can hear you correctly on other instruments are played by the Authority PA. If you use the PA alone, of course not a problem. Hope this is what you need!

Problem with my guitar / amp mic.?

My guitar amp just stopped working suddenly. I've nothing to him. I played a song and it makes a loud noise, like low scores. After the noise dies down, nothing worked. The microphone and the guitar does not work not, and the "on" light does not turn on (yes it is connected). Now, I can not exactly get a new one. You see, it has a mic and guitar input and it is extremely difficult to find and expensive. I need to know if someone can tell me what could be wrong with him, and how I might be able to fix it.

Hello! Since you did not list specific amplifier, I'll just give you a general diagnosis. The problem seems to be on the supply side, as opposed to a tube fails or an electronic component. If a fuse is externally accessible, check and replace if necessary. There may be an internal fuse in place, but it will be subject the removal of the chassis of the cabinet. It may also be that the power transformer malfunctioned. If the cord is removable, Take a look at each end to see if it is in no way distorted by exposure to heat. In the final opportunity, make sure you do not trip the circuit breaker controlling the outlet you use for the amp, I know that's obvious, but should mentioned. Let me know if I can help.
